“Joshua Lynch has already contacted me.
“Luna, even if you’re trying desperately to prove how important you are, you don’t have to do i t like this.”
There was not even a hint of emotion in Jim’s frosty voice as he continued, “Even though your method of
getting Joshua to attack Landry Group will defeat me and make me think twice
about hurting you, you have to remember that you own a part of Landry Group, too.
“Therefore, no matter how much financial loss has been incurred onto our company as a result of
Joshua’s attacks, you’re suffering the same loss, too!”
Luna could not help curling her lips into a smirk when she heard this. “Unfortunately, Mr. Landry, if I
hadn’t asked Joshua for help, the person stuck in this terrible situation would be m e by now.
“I’m fine with losing a little bit of money right now. After all, if I don’t let this happen now, then I probably
will be losing all of my shares and profits of the Landry Group instead.
“This little bit of financial loss is still acceptable in comparison.”
With that, she stared at Jim’s face and added, “At the same time, everything that Joshua is doing right
now, Mr. Landry, is a reminder to you not to steal anything from me.
“Because as soon as I leave Landry Group, this company isn’t going to last any longer.”
Luna’s tone was both cold and arrogant, so much so that Charlotte was infuriated by her words.
She, too, knew that they had no way of winning against Luna at this point.
“You’re right.” Jim was much calmed compared to Charlotte upon hearing this. He nodded and stared at
Luna with an earnest expression. “With you here, Joshua is indeed showing us mercy, and because of
this, I hadn’t intended to force you to give out the Landry Group’s shares at all.
“However…”
Jim narrowed his eyes and handed a folder to Luna. “These are the survey results that my assistant has
collected from the shareholders and higher management, as well as more than eighty percent of the
employees of Landry Group.
“All the people that have signed this petition are protesting against your continued employment as CEO
of Landry Group, and more than half of these people are threatening to g o on a strike if you don’t resign
from your position within a week.”
With that, he shifted into a more comfortable position in his chair and stared intently at Luna. “You should
know by now how bad your reputation is to the public. Almost all the employees i
n the company do not wish to have such a corrupt CEO running their company.
“The people have spoken, and this is well outside of my power.”
The color drained from Luna’s face when she heard this.
She bit her lip and dug her nails into her palms.
Despite knowing a long time ago that she would have to resign as CEO eventually, it was still shocking to
be hit with the reality.
She knew fully well that her reputation was at its all-time low, but it stung to see that 80% of hundreds of
thousands of Landry Group employees hated her…
She found this hard to accept.
“Don’t agree to his terms,” Joshua’s low voice rang out from the pendant around Luna’s neck. “Even if
you refuse to resign, Jim will never let these people quit their jobs. He’s just trying to use this to provoke
you.”
Luna bit her lip and felt a twinge of sadness surge into her heart. She lifted her head to stare at Jim’s
face. “Alright. I’ll do as you say.”
