Expert Down The Mountain Chapter 74

Liam put down the phone and sat on his chair, feeling upset.

After a long time, he called out to his secretary with a bitter expression. “Notify the major shareholders to attend an emergency board of directors’ meeting.” The secretary left to notify the major shareholders while Liam tidied up his outfit, composed himself, and walked to Boardroom.

A little over an hour later, the major shareholders from the board of directors arrived.

Trevor and Miles looked at Liam and Sadie, their faces dull and gloomy.

Trevor said coldly, “Mr. Wolfenden, I heard from Miles that the six bank presidents were here to seek repayment of debts. What’s going on with that?” The shareholders’ expressions changed drastically! ‘The banks are pressing for payment of debts? Why?’ Sadie’s expression was slightly unpleasant, but she brought herself to say, “They were here to seek repayment of debts indeed.” Miles said in a sarcastic tone, “I only wish to know if you’ve agreed to them, Ms. Wolfenden.” All the shareholders looked toward Sadie in unison, and their expressions changed drastically again at the sight of her keeping quiet. “Sadie Wolfenden!” An aged man could not contain his anger. “Did you agree for real?” They were the shareholders, so they had dibs on every single penny of the company’s account!

‘If the company’s money is used to pay the banks, what will the company use to run its business? How are we going to profit from the company?’

Sadie said, “We can’t not pay the debts-”.

“B*llsh*t!” growled the old man.

The old man was Chandler Irvin, and he had invested a few hundred thousand dollars when the company was initially established.

“That’s very bold of you to agree to pay the banks without any meeting prior. Do you really think that your Wolfenden family solely owns the company?” Quincy’s father, Daryl Dunn, had also pulled a long face and said while suppressing his anger,” You’re still too young for this role, Ms. Wolfenden.” Trevor asked coldly, “Ms. Wolfenden truly lives up to her reputation of being the general manager of this company. That’s very impressive of you, huh? You executed your decision without prior approval from the board, and you’re trying to comfort us now? “Aren’t you being a little naive, Ms. Wolfenden?” Liam said in a deep voice, “I supported Sadie’s decision.” Upon hearing that, Trevor sneered in contempt and said, “That’s very impressive of you, Mr. Wolfenden! Don’t forget that the company’s money is not all yours!” Chandler’s expression was gloomy, and he angrily said, “I would like to withdraw my investment. I invested in the company for profit and not to end myself!” ‘If I don’t pull out now, it’ll only be a matter of time before Wolfenden Corp.’s downfall due to the capital chain’s fracture. ‘The right thing to do now is to cut the losses in time!” Sadie’s expression changed drastically. ‘Isn’t the disinvestment going to make the situation worse?’ Trevor’s eyes were glistening. Soon afterward, he took a glance at Miles. Both of them understood each other without speaking. “The Lawson family is pulling out as well.” Upon saying that, Trevor looked toward the major shareholders and said smilingly, “Fellow friends, why don’t we pull out together? I’m planning on establishing a new construction company. “I have Westcity’s Plot No. 8 project assigned to me, and my company will most certainly flourish with the project. You’re welcome to join, everyone.” Liam and Sadie’s expressions changed. ‘Trevor… The Lawsons are really quite something! Chandler’s eyes lit up as he asked, “Are you serious, Mr. Lawson?” “Of course, I have Westcity’s Plot No. 8 with me, and it will definitely bring profit,” said Trevor confidently. Chandler said instantly, “I shall invest in Mr. Lawson’s new company then! I won’t sustain Wolfenden Corp.’s losses!” Daryl appeared to be struggling inwardly, but soon, another shareholder took up Trevor’s offer.

He exhaled slowly and said, “Count me in, Mr. Lawson.” “Uncle Daryl!” Sadie looked at Daryl in disbelief. Daryl had a rather close relationship with her father.

Daryl disregarded Sadie and Liam. ‘I’m doing it for a living, friendship… We’ll talk about friendship when I have money.’ “If I don’t have money, friendship is useless.” Other than Liam and Sadie, 8 out of the 15 shareholders expressed their wish to pull out of Wolfenden Corp. with Trevor!
