The door to the ward opened.

"Why don't you sleep at night and have so much nonsense?" Lawson, wearing a hospital gown, walked out aggressively, "If you used your petty tricks to run the company, it wouldn't be the case now!"

Ralphie said reluctantly, "I, as an elder, just care about James. How come it has become a dishonorable petty trick?"

"If you really are in a position to give him advice, will I appoint him, a junior, to be the president? Go back and have a rest. My days are numbered. Don't make me upset! "After he finished speaking impatiently, he turned around and entered the ward.

Seeing that James didn't come in, he turned his head and shouted, "You are not coming in? What are you waiting for?"

"It's getting late, uncle. Please rest early." James said to Ralphie, then entered the ward and closed the door.

Ralphie looked at the closed door. His smile disappeared, and his eyes turned gloomy. He snorted and left.

"Have you thought about it?" In the ward, Lawson sat on the chair and looked at James, who was standing at the door coldly.

James took a few steps forward, "My answer remains the same."

"Bastard!" Lawson slapped the table abruptly and stood up.

James's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "It's better for you to control your temper. Your body can no longer withstand the torment."

"Are you cursing me?" Lawson gritted his teeth and said.

"No." James said, "I just suggest you pay attention to your body, and you are oversensitive."

The ward fell into silence. The air seemed to condense into ice bit by bit, as if time had stopped.

Lawson stared at James gloomily.

James looked calm, as if he hadn't noticed his gaze at all.

"I'll ask you again. Do you agree?!" Lawson roared, "If you say no, I will deal with your affairs as I said!"

James's eyes were cold, but he insisted, "I have never transferred any assets, and I don't know why there are several large transfers in the accounts. You can hand me over to the relevant departments, and I believe they will find out why."

Although he was the president, the three financial directors appointed successively were trained by his grandfather.

There was no problem with the accounts at ordinary times. But as soon as he stepped down as the president, accounting problems immediately appeared when he handed over the position. Even a fool could figure out why.

"Do you think I dare not?" Lawson asked in a deep voice.

"No." James said, "I just feel sad that you actually threatened me by tampering with the accounts in order to get me to work as Ralphie’s assistant."

Lawson asked him to step down as the president and become an assistant to the president. In fact, what he did was the job of the president, but the company claimed Ralphie was the president.

In this way, after Lawson’s death, Ralphie would be in charge of the group.

Ralphie was like the star of fake singing, and he was the real singer behind the scenes. But Ralphie would get all the popularity and incomes, and he was a shameless ghost.

In order to make sure James agreed to the plan, Lawson threatened him with tricks on the accounts.

Lawson looked at him straightforwardly, and after a long while, he said angrily, "Okay, you have grown up with full wings, and dare to oppose me!"

James shook his head, "I have grown up, but my wings are not strong enough. I am neither the president nor have any share in the Harvey Group. How dare I with nothing to challenge you?"

"Then what's going on with Mr. Lee in the board?" Lawson said angrily, "They all oppose Ralphie being the president, but support you. How do you explain it?"

James met his gaze and said, "In the past few years when I was the president of the Harvey Group, except for the first year, the net profit increased by an average of 18% every year. As shareholders, it is understandable that they want a capable man to be the president. "

The 18% annual increase in net profit may not be very good for some small and medium-sized enterprises. But for a large multinational group, this was shocking.

As large groups developed and became mature, it was difficult to move forward.

It was precisely because the Harvey Group's financial statements in recent years were good enough and its stock price had continued to rise, its market value had risen by more than 20%. This figure had been reported by the media at home and abroad many times.

"Humph!" Lawson sneered and was angry.

If Ralphie took over the Harvey Group, he would not be better than James, but he could definitely maintain stable development. But the sudden farce in the board of directors disrupted his plan!

James added, "Mr. Lee and the others only accounted for 15% of the shares, and the remaining shares belong to the Harvey family. As a major shareholder, you have absolute control and you will not be constrained by them."

"Your aunts and uncles all support Mr. Lee and ask you to be the president. Do you dare to say it has nothing to do with you?" Lawson asked coldly.

25 percent of Raylan's family's shares, plus 3 percent shares he took back from James, and 21 percent of his own, made a total of 49 percent.

But his eldest daughter and others had 51% of the shares, which was more than his. If he had known it earlier, he shouldn't have allocated the shares so early!

Hearing it, James smiled with a faint sarcasm, "Grandpa, you wronged me. I don't have any shares. What's the point of me being the president? "

"Aunts and others want me to be the president just because I can make money for them, which is human nature. Grandpa should be very clear about it, right?"

Lawson looked sullen and said after a while, "If you agree to be the assistant to the president, I will not hold you accountable for embezzling, and I will return 3% of the shares to you! Are you content now?"

The last sentence was almost squeezed out of his throat.

"Both you and I know if I had done something wrong with the accounts. You don't need to use it as an excuse." James said, "As for the 3% of the shares, I don't want it. It's not worth my life for such a small amount of money."

Lawson was livid.

"My mother just told my uncle about my current situation. My uncle said he needed a guard and asked me to apply for the job. He said that with my ability, I would be at least a major general, which was more respected than a businessman stinking with money." James ignored his expression, and said.

Lawson looked gloomy and was about to lose his temper, "You are indeed a member of the Harvey family. Nice work!"
