As soon as he said those words, everyone’s faces turned dark and somber.
Conrad felt like the fire within him had been ignited. Even though he managed to keep a lid on it, it was
at the brink of exploding at any time.
“How ignorant can you get?!” Conrad said with a sneer.
Henry was full of smiles as he was pleased to see Conrad and Mitch infuriated yet were unable to vent
out their frustrations. They looked as if they had eaten a fly.
After clearing his throat, Dwayne turned to Jasper. He was unsure what Jasper had up his sleeve, so
he asked, “Mr. Laine, are you sure you want to make those two motions you mentioned earlier?”
“I’m sure.” Jasper nodded, giving Dwayne his affirmation.
Dwayne sighed. Seeing how Jasper was determined to embarrass himself, he made no further
attempts to stop him and said, “Now that Mr. Laine, holding 24% of the shares, has made the motions,
we will begin voting on the first motion.”
“I object.”
Conrad expressed his opinion at almost the same time Dwayne finished his sentence.
Dwayne cleared his throat and said, “Mr. Monty, holding 40% of the shares, objects. I abstain from
voting on behalf of the 6% shares held by all retail investors.”
As Dwayne said those words, he turned to look at Colin Walter who had yet to say a word so far. After
thinking about it, Dwayne thought it was pointless for him to prompt the other man and announced
straight away, “Because the majority voted against the first motion, I announce that Mr. Laine’s first
motion is invalid—”
“Hold on, Mr. Martin. Mr. Walter has not spoken yet. Isn’t this against the standard operating
procedure?” Jasper said calmly.
Dwayne was taken aback for a moment and gazed at Jasper with a look of dissatisfaction.
In his opinion, Jasper was too hard-headed that he had even failed to recognize his good intentions.
He was helping him out of the embarrassing situation lest he felt humiliated by the absolute majority.
What was wrong with this guy?
“Haha, Mr. Martin, if he wants Colin to give his vote, then so be it. We still need to go with the standard
operating procedure no matter what.” Conrad burst out laughing.
As he spoke, he slowly took off the gold-rimmed glasses resting on the bridge of his nose, slowly
wiping the lenses with a glass cleaning cloth.
“Jasper, oh Jasper. You amaze me more and more. Does it feel that good to be humiliated in public? If
that’s really what you want, then hey, move your face closer. Let me swing my arm and give you a good
slap across the face.”
“I agree.”
The two unexpected words left Conrad’s hands frozen in the air. Thinking that he was probably having
auditory hallucinations, his head shot up abruptly. He turned his incredulous and furious gaze to Colin.
Colin, however, was seen staring fixedly at the conference table without blinking. He did not meet
Conrad’s eyes at all.
He looked so focused as though there was a rare treasure on the conference table.
Conrad was not the only one who was dumbstruck. Both Dwayne and Mitch looked as though they
were looking at an alien.
Everyone’s heart was pounding frantically.
At this moment, Colin Walter, a man no one had paid any attention to since the beginning, seemed to
have turned into the center of attention.
Henry looked at the scene before his eyes, itching to open up a bottle of fine wine to sip on while he
admired the grand scene before his eyes. This was so thrilling to watch.
Even movies would not play out such plot reversals.
“What did you say, Colin Walter?” Conrad asked slowly, pausing after every word. His tone was cold
and stern as if he was giving out the sternest warning ever.
