Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 270

Buzz, buzz.

Horace's phone suddenly rang. He took the phone and found it was Russell.

"Hello, grandpa?" Horace answered the call instantly. His grandpa wouldn't call him in the morning if he had nothing to tell him.

"Tell me why client's information was leaked, Horace," Russell said quickly.

"I…" Horace didn't know how to explain to Russell.

"Fine. You have to come to Kirkland Group now to attend an emergency meeting. I will tell you the details when you arrive."

"I know, grandpa. I will be there soon," Horace knew the meeting must be something tricky to deal with.

And Horace knew it must be Sean who was behind it.

He hung up the phone and said to Clara, "Grandpa needs me to attend a meeting at Kirkland Group. I must leave now."

Clara nodded without looking up at him.

Horace knew she was still angry at him since he refused her last night. But he didn't know how to explain and he didn't want to tell her the truth. He didn't want Clara to remember what happened that day.

He still said gently, "Have a good rest at home."

Clara nodded silently and Horace sighed in his mind. Then he turned away and drove to Kirkland Group.

Staring his back and then at the dishes on the table, Clara continued to eat in silence.

When he arrived at Kirkland Group, Horace found Sean had led all the board members to wait for him in the meeting room.

Sean sneered as he saw Horace. He thought, "I will force you to give me all your shares of Kirkland Group, my brother!"

Russell was looking at Horace worriedly. He wanted to say something but Horace looked at him, hinting that "there was no need to worry".

He sat on his seat and didn't say anything.

Horace knew Sean wouldn't miss the chance to force him hand out his shares.

To be exact, Sean kidnapped Clara to threaten Horace and his ultimate goal was to get Horace's shares. Horace sneered. If Sean thought his evil plan would work, then he was wrong.

Sean finally opened his mouth, "Well, well, well, now our prince is here. Now let's get started."

Sean then looked at Horace with a provocative smile on his face, "I think you know why we hold this board meeting, don't you?"

Horace crossed his arms before his chest and said in a calm voice, "Actually, I don't."

A sense of cruelty flashed in Sean's eyes and he said, "The information of Solrace's clients has been leaked. I gathered you all have known it."

All the board members began to talk with each other. Everyone knew what happened to Solrace. Then suddenly all the people present turned to Horace.

Sean was quite satisfied with their reaction and he continued, "Now I want to ask you a question, Horace. How could I trust you? Do you think you will be a competent manager of Kirkland Group?"

"Actually, I think I will," Horace leaned back on his chair and said calmly.

Seeing his move, a board member who had always been supporting Sean suddenly stood up and pointed at Horace, "You can't even protect your clients' information! How could I trust you? I think you'd better give up your shares of Kirkland Group!"

Nice! Sean cheered in his mind. He had helped the board member a lot and now he didn't fail Sean.

All other members began to blame Horace.

"How could we trust you, Horace?"

"Maybe one day the internal information of Kirkland Group will be leaked too."

"I think you'd better hand over your shares."

"Sean will be a better leader of our company!"

…

Actually, Sean had informed those board members he would bring them some benefits if they cooperated with him. That's why the board members were all standing on his side.

Russell was indeed angry at this moment. But the board members were right. It was Horace's fault and they were justified to doubt Horace's ability.

Horace stared at those people cautiously as he saw all of them were asking him to give up his shares. He knew what Sean did before the meeting. Sean was the one who would benefit the most if he gave up his shares.

After they had finished, Horace finally said with a sneer on his face, "So, you mean that I couldn't hold my shares if I make some mistakes?"

"Of course," Sean quickly replied, "I won't let you destroy our company. I don't think our board members will agree to let you continue to be in charge of Kirkland Group."

"We won't let that happen."

"We are also the shareholders of Kirkland Group. We don't think Horace should hold such a large proportion of shares!"

" Sean is right. Horace shouldn't be in charge of our company anymore."

…

The board members all supported Sean.

Hearing their words, a sneer climbed on Horace's face and then he looked at Sean. Seeing the expression on his face, Sean suddenly got a bad hunch.

"If so," Horace took out his phone and put it onto the table, "Then please check the latest news."
