After a detailed discussion, Karin and Robert notify all shareholders and hold a meeting with them
because there is still something wrong with Caleb's employment.
Emmanuel also shows up. And the look on his face seems to be somewhat ugly. However, compared
to the annoyance in Emmanuel’s eyes, William is much calmer.
"Shareholders, the reason why I called you all here today is that I have an important announcement to
make. And it is about my husband, Troy's disappearance, which is likely to be caused by someone."
Someone among the shareholders reminds them, "This should be told to the police, right?"
"I know. What I truly want to say is about the relationship between Caleb and Emmanuel."
Everyone in the meeting room is suddenly silent. Although they are all clear that Caleb and Emmanuel
get along with each other quite well, the fact that Karin called Emmanuel by his name is indeed so
surprising. And it seems that there are signs of their breaking up in the public.
William's face becomes gloomy. Even so, he doesn’t stop her from saying anything further.
"I have a report in my hand. And it is about Caleb's background investigation. He isn’t the son of Gale
Shelton, a businessman in Edinburgh, but the biological son of Emmanuel sitting in this conference
room!"
The crowd is in an uproar. Even Troy’s Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle are both startled. Originally,
everyone thought that William was a pawn under Emmanuel. However, none of them expects that
William will be Emanuel’s son. So they can’t be overwhelmingly surprised.
"If you don't believe me, you can take a look at this report of mine."
Karin gestures with her eyes. And Robert hands down the photocopied documents one by one. Even
Emmanuel and William get a copy each.
After the shareholders read the content of the report, they are all shocked. While Emmanuel looks
askance at his son with rage burning in his eyes. After all, he has gone through a lot of hardship. After
a short period of anger, he regains his composure and says with a smile, "In fact, you don’t have to be
so surprised. It is not a strange thing for a man to have an illegitimate son or daughter. The reason I
didn’t announce it to the public is that I didn't want to be misunderstood. My nephew disappeared at
this juncture. And my eldest brother passed away. As the Second Master of the Charlie family, I surely
can’t stand by and watch the Charlie family fall. So I had no choice but to let my biological son take
over the company. And I hope every one of you should refrain from thinking that my nephew's
disappearance is my doing. If it weren’t fear that you would misunderstand me, I would have
announced my relationship with Caleb."
“Hehe.” Karin sneers, "Uncle Emmanuel, since the situation has come to such an extent, never should
you go on acting. Everyone can see the situation. You robbed your nephew's company, which is a fact.
Why do you need to take everyone as a fool again to do a false explanation here?"
"Karin, if you are going to slander me like this, then I, as an elder, won’t bother with you. Just say it
straight, what is your purpose for holding this meeting?"
"To ask you to step down. Because the relationship between the two of you makes me suspect that
your real purpose isn’t that you are worried about the company's downfall as you said. To avoid the
tragedy of competing for power and position, please withdraw from the operation of our company."
Troy’s Fourth Uncle suddenly stands up, "This request is completely unreasonable. After all, we can’t
regard the company's operation as child's play because of your questioning. We all have seen how
Manager Celab has exerted great efforts on running the company over these days. If you ask him to
leave, then who will be responsible for this company? Karin, will it be you? Do you think your tender
shoulders can carry this burden?"
"Yes, yes."
The shareholders immediately nod their heads. They don't care who owns the company. All they care
about is that they can get more and more money into their pockets.
"In that case, then I have decided to withdraw all of my shares in Charlie Group. So feel free to mess
around."
After Karin says so, the shareholders are shocked. After all, the Charlie family’s shares surely can’t be
casually withdrawn. Otherwise, how can the company live on? It would be like a man without a heart. It
surely can’t live on.
“Let’s discuss it amiably. Don't act on your impulse..."
"Yes, once the Charlie family shares are withdrawn, Charlie Group will be doomed. At least, it is a
company you founded."
The shareholders advise Karin one after another. Karin holds a resolute attitude as she says, "As the
saying goes, there can be only one. if they don’t leave. It is useless for you to talk more. Make a choice
as soon as possible."
Troy’s fifth uncle stands up, "In that case, I will sell the shares of mine to Second Brother so that his
shares shouldn’t be less than yours. Do you insist on asking them to leave?"
"I'll sell mine to Second Brother as well." Troy’s Fourth Uncle raises his hand.
Karin has a gloomy look in her eyes. A senior shareholder stands up and says, "If so, you can only
continue to work together. Neither of you can withdraw. If you did, the company would collapse. How
about this? For the time being, the position of the President should be vacant first. The two of you
should share the title of Vice President. After you make your achievements respectively a month later,
we will another shareholders’ meeting and choose who will be in charge of the company for the last
time based on your contribution to the company. And the choice will be irrevocable. Moreover, the seal
of the company has to be handed over."
Thinking that it is a very good proposal, the shareholders have expressed their approval. Karin
originally insisted on her opinion. But after troy’s Fifth Uncle and Fourth Uncle make such a scene, she
has to compromise for the company's prospects.
"Good, then so be it. The final decision will be made in a month."
She gets up and takes the lead to leave the conference room. Robert follows her out. Seeing that the
look on her face isn’t good, he says soothingly, "Although they aren’t driven out, it is good to pull them
down from the position of President. We can prepare well in the following month and search for
evidence against them. At that time, Young Master Troy probably will come back as well. Everything
will go for the better. "
"Yeah.
She nods gently and begins to think in her heart about how to win William in terms of the performance.
Inside the President's office, Emmanuel stands in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and holds a cup of
coffee in his hand as he waited for William to return from the meeting.
His face can’t be more gloomy. The indifference emitting from his eyes can easily intimidate others. As
he looks askance at the office chair that symbolizes honor and power, he almost crushes the coffee
cup in his hand.
The door is pushed open with a creak. William walks in. Seeing his father, he already knows what it is
about. So he locks the door from inside and softly shouts, "Dad..."
"Are you satisfied now?"
Troy angrily slams the coffee cup to the ground, instantly contaminating the exquisite carpet. And the
glass crumbs scatter all over the floor.
"Don't worry. I will turn the situation around."
"What time is it now? How come you still advise me not to worry about it? It is unknown whether Troy is
dead or alive. In a month, you may rise or fall. You can think of a way. So can they. Don’t underestimate
that woman. Judging from how she charms you, I can see how powerful she is. This is the
consequence of your acting according to your own free will. You have been pulled down the position
before stabilizing the situation. You indeed let me down!"
"I'm sorry, Dad..."
William lowers his gaze and apologizes so that his father won’t see the lack of regret in his eyes.
"Once the sword is out of the sheath, it can't be retracted. So remember that we can only succeed
rather than fail!"
It is the weekend the next day. Karin doesn’t go to the company but comes to the beach alone.
A week has passed since she came here the last time. The sea is as blue as usual. And the wind is as
gentle as usual. Standing on the beach, she can see the figures of lovers who rely on each other now
and then. And she walks along the beach, trying not to see how happy others are.
It is unknown how long she has been walking. At the end of the coast, she seems to see a familiar
back, that back view a large reef that has been showing up in her dream countless times. Thinking that
it is a dream, she rubs her eyes in a daze and takes a closer look at it. After making sure that it isn’t a
dream, she runs over quickly as she is ready to identify the wrong person in her heart. However, when
she pulls the man's shoulders, she seems to have been stricken by electric shock. After that, she is in
shock. The man is indeed the one she has been dreaming about. And in that instant, she is stunned.
The atmosphere seems to freeze. As they look at each other, both of them are speechless for a long
time. Karin is overwhelmed by great surprise and shock so much that she completely doesn’t know
what to say. With her body trembling, a light of surprise shines in her eyes.
"Who are you?"
The previous second, she is immersed in great surprise so much that she can’t come to her senses.
Then the next second, she feels that she has fallen into an abyss of tens of thousands’ height, crushing
herself in pieces. How come he asked her who she was?
