Chapter 244 In a Bad Situation

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

So quiet in the dead of night.

There was a floor in the Shaw Group, ablaze with lights. It was the symbol of power.

In front of the desk, a man was typing on the keyboard. Every time he typed, it was like horses

galloping across the ground, which was exactly the current situation.

The man’s dark and deep eyes were sharp like blades. He stared at everything on the screen.

Three years ago, he expelled Hale from the Shaw Group. In the past three years, he had been busy

expanding the business, which had given others the chance to put their men in the group.

He went to the Erhai Lake. Finally, Hale got the chance to unite with the outsider and attack in one fell

swoop!

Good!

Very good!

The James family was also involved in it!

His slender fingers suddenly stopped. His eyes were deep. Suddenly, the man smiled. However, with

the coldness in his eyes, that smile was so unreal.

“Jafar James.” As the man whispered the name, his powerful index finger tapped on the table, and the

smile at the corner of his mouth became brighter and brighter.

The phone rang out in the big office.

With a glance, he casually picked it up but said nothing.

The caller said respectfully,

“Boss, everything is done as you demand.

Jafar does have a mistress. His illegitimate son is ten years old.”

“Okay.” Caden narrowed his eyes, glancing at a line of small words on the computer screen. His eyes

flashed with viciousness. “Find a way to get a match test of Jafar’s younger son.”

“Boss, are you trying ...?”

“Isn’t Payne sick and dying?” A mocking smile flashed through his eyes. “Jafar is an ungraceful dog.

With his youngest son, he ignored the life of his eldest son.” The man said coldly, “What a dreamer!”

On the other end of the phone, Ladd paused. However, he knew that even though boss was ruthless,

what he had done might be only for Miss James.

Since the boss didn’t say anything, Ladd wouldn’t point it out. He only respectfully said “Yes”.

Well, whether Jafar’s youngest son’s test could match his eldest son was still a problem.

Furthermore, what the boss did had little to do with the current crisis of the Shaw Group. At most, it was

to cause some troubles for Jafar and make him feel uncomfortable.

When he thought of this, Ladd felt sorry for his boss and the boss’s future wife.

His boss did care about Miss James.

Recently, people living in the S City were cautious.

As a Lo, Kern was actually a member of the Shaws, even though he was an illegitimate child.

Hale announced the real identity of Kern on the birthday banquet, where big shots and celebrities from

all walks of life were present.

Those smart men with a keen sense immediately noticed the difference.

Hale was slapping Caden in the face!

At the banquet, Caden exuded a cold aura.

On the second day, all the major newspapers and mainstream media reported it, taking up almost all

the front page!

At that afternoon, an unknown source announced that Hale of the Shaw Group intended to let Kern be

the successor of the family.

It was thought to be an insignificant rumor.

However, after two days, on the front page, the Lo Group issued a statement to cooperate with the

Shaw Group in the project of Crimson Feather Island.

This piece of news did not seem to be a response to the cooperation between the two sides. Instead, it

was like a response from Kern to become the successor of the Shaw family.

It was said that when the powerful men were fighting, the common people should stay away.

For a time, the business men in the S City were cautious. No one dared to act before the situation got

clear. They all feared that they would offend one side and die unjustly.

The Lo Group expressed its stance. That afternoon, a piece of news puzzled everyone. The James

Group declared to have a win-win cooperation with the Lo Group.

Two members of the Shaws fought against each other, and the James family was obvious the first to

make the decision.

Most of the people knew about the relationship between the Shaws and the Jameses.

Jafar, the head of the Jameses, even charged Caden, the head of the Shaws, with abusing his

daughter, Grace.

All of a sudden, on the Internet, bloggers posted an article which was written from the perspective of an

old father, Jafar. It explained the past of Grace, who had been persecuted and forced to disappear

completely three years ago. As a result, she couldn’t go back home for many years.

The article was touched and grieved. It was the love of an old father for his daughter. It brought tears to

the readers. They found it unbearable, and their hearts were filled with sympathy.

As a result, people vented their anger on the Internet, and Caden became a notorious man.

All of a sudden, the denouncers could be found everywhere. Under the building of the Shaw Group,

there were many people who claimed to seek justice for the poor daughter of the Jameses who had

been persecuted.

Amidst this wave of curses, another article went virus on the Internet--Head of the Shaw Group, did you

have conscience? Hell was not far, and the prison was waiting for you!

The stock price of the Shaw Group kept falling.

At this moment, the latest secrets were leaked during the Shaw’s new product launch. Its new product

was the same as that of an unknown small company!

Scandal! What a big scandal!

On the front page of the “Top News”--As a big enterprise, the Shaw Group plagiarized the products of a

start-up company owned by university students! The Shaw Group, where was your style?

Only the title was enough to create a sensation!

The share price of the Shaw Group had dropped for a week. And now the scandal of stealing college

students’ ideas made it plummet.

“The Shaw Group is big and powerful. But it has only been a week. The colossus of the past has also

been in turmoil.” This was what other business owners said at private parties.

They felt pity for the group, but in fact, they were gloating.

The Shaw Group was not fully owned by Caden. The falling share price affected all the shareholders.

The major shareholders jointly demanded Caden to resign and leave the management.

Although Caden was the major stockholder, he did not reorganize the company in time due to three

years of expansion. As a result, he was passive, and his equity was diluted.

At this moment, the outcome was clear. When the trees fell, the monkeys scattered. He lost supporters

and they even kicked him when the situation was not good. Other business owners reacted and could

not let the James Group have it all.

“Though the Jameses are the first to pick a side, we can’t let it obtain all the benefits.”

Many business owners started to follow the Lo Group. Among them, the Hill Real Estate, the Fox

Entertainment, and the Stock Semi-conductor were eye-catching. They went to the Lo Group to show

their loyalty to Kern.

All of them had the intentions to get a share in the reshuffle.

The Tenth day.

Caden looked pale. Humbert called, “Will a meeting of the shareholders be held tomorrow?”

“Yes.”

“Hale is ruthless.” Humbert snorted coldly, “About the ups and downs you went through … Hale only

wants you to act soft and stop thinking about that woman.”

“Impossible,” said Caden resolutely, though his thin lips were colorless, and his face was pale.

“Is it worth?” Humber sneered.

“I can’t lose my rib.” She was one of his ribs.
