Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 358

No way!

Trenton objected: "Mr. Stiller, you can't do this!"

"Why?" Mr. Stiller looked at him coldly, making no secret of his ridicule in his eyes.

"Because I'm still the chairman and the largest shareholder. It's preposterous to kick me out of the board!" said Trenton with a red face.

"There's nothing unreasonable. The chairman and the largest shareholder of a group aren't necessarily the same person. There's no conflict between the two," said Mr. Stiller.

Other shareholders also nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Gardner, why don't you give way to someone more capable? You'll still be the largest shareholder. Isn't it good to get yourself a cushy job?"

"Exactly. Mr. Gardner, how do you manage the company well if you can't even handle your family affairs? For months, you've run the Group into the ground and we shareholders have suffered a lot. Last time, for the sake of your establishment of The Trident Group, we forgave you and let you continue to be the chairman of the board. But this time, we have no reason to forgive you."

"Have you heard it? Trenton Gardner, we all don't want you to be our chairman anymore. This shareholders' meeting must be held. This time, you have no choice. Otherwise, we will withdraw our capital and leave the Group go bankrupt directly. Anyway, the Group will go bankrupt sooner or later in your hands."

Upon finishing his words, Mr. Stiller packed up his belongings and walked straight out of the conference room.

Other shareholders followed.

Soon, Trenton was left alone in the large conference room.

Trenton was cold throughout the whole of his body. He stared at the computer screen with dull eyes, wondering how things got like this.

In his efforts, The Trident Group had already stabilized, but he never expected the happening of this new situation

Moreover, his chairman's position would soon be removed.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the conference room.

His assistant came and anxiously said: "Mr. Gardner, there are a lot of journalists downstairs, they cried for an interview with you. They want to know your opinions on your daughter's news."

"My opinions?" Trenton sneered with scarlet eyes: "They don't give a damn about my opinions. They just want to chase my clout!"

Just then, his cell phone rang.

Trenton took out his phone after a deep breath but then hung up directly when he saw it was his foe.

He knew exactly what his opponent was calling to do— just to laugh at him.

That was the case last time.

The last time Makenna was arrested, this guy called him and made fun of him, and he never felt so humiliated.

Even if Trenton hadn't answered the phone, his foe didn't intend to miss the chance to laugh at him. That guy sent a text message to him, saying: "Bro, your family tradition and genes have got me beaten. Tut-tut, A family of criminals! Now that your daughter has been caught in, I'm wondering when is your time to pay for killing Hugo Reed six years ago.

.."

Clank!

Before he finished reading the text, he stormed all the things on the table to the ground to vent his anger.

His assistant took a few steps backward so as not to get himself in trouble.

Trenton breathed heavily, with his eyes dark and gloomy.

How did this man know he murdered Hugo Reed six years ago?

Trenton had done this in secret, and not to mention the outside world, even people who were close to him didn't know anything about it. Everyone just thought that Hugo committed suicide by jumping off the building because he couldn't stand the capital collapse of Goldstone Co.

But this guy asserted emphatically that he murdered Hugo. He seemed to know something.

But even if he truly knew something, he must have no evidence.

Or this man had already taken it out to attack him. After all, they were sworn enemies in the business world.

With this in mind, Trenton thought that there was nothing to worry about. He closed his eyes and said coldly: "Prepare the car and go to the police station."

He had to know what his daughter had done this time and whether he could save her or not.

If he could still rescue her, it meant that the situation was not that serious and the Trident Group could also regain a normal condition.

But if he couldn't...

Having made his resolution, Trenton clenched his fists.

Then, don't blame him for being cruel!

...

Night fell.

Amber turned off the computer after she finished reading the trending news about Makenna online. She was going to get ready for bed.

All of a sudden, the doorbell rang.

She frowned as she walked towards the hallway. Turning on the visual access control system, she wanted to see who was outside.

A lovely and enlarged face appeared on the screen. "Aunty!"

It was Jayden!

So Hayden was outside too?

Amber turned off the system and opened the door.

Outside, Hayden stood there with Jayden in his arms. "Good evening, Amber," he smiled.

He knew she'd definitely open the door if he brought Jayden with him.

If he came alone, she would just ignore him.

"Give me a hug, aunty!" Jayden held out his hand to ask for a hug from Amber.

In the face of his loveliness, Amber didn't have the heart to refuse him. Just as she was about to reach out to take him, Hayden pressed his hand down: "Jayden, don't be naughty. Your aunt...

"

Feeling Amber's sharp eyes, Hayden corrected himself: "Miss Reed isn't feeling well. She can't hold you."

"Are you feeling sick?" Jayden asked with a tilt of his head.

Amber touched his head and smiled softly: "Just a little bit. But it's fine."

The discomfort in her belly had already eased.

"Then you don't have to hug me, aunty. It's fine." said Jayden obediently.

Amber's heart was melted by his cuteness and couldn't help scratching an itch on him playfully.

Jayden giggled with his arms twined around Hayden's neck.

Amber's mood was gradually lightened because of Jayden and her manner towards Hayden was less aloof than before.

She took back her hand and asked: "Why are you bringing Jayden here at this hour of the night?"

"Well... nothing special actually. It was Jayden who clamored to come here. Since I failed to make him change his mind, I just took him here. By the way, I'd like to leave the child with you for a couple of days," said Hayden expectantly.

"Leave him with me?" Amber raised her eyebrows.

"Yes." Hayden's expression became serious: "Something happened. My parents have already gone to the capital for a meeting. My elder brother and sister-in-law are not able to come back from the army, and I'm going to pay a visit to Kongham. There's no one left to take care of Jayden."

"Wait a minute. Why is there no one to take care of the child? Where are the servants?" Amber looked at him intensely, trying to figure out whether he was lying or not.

Unnerved by her gaze, Hayden was about to let the cat out of the bag.

Luckily, he had a strong mind to keep himself calm: "The butler returned to his hometown to visit his grandson. There are indeed servants and babysitters at home, but I don't feel easy about letting them take care of Jayden. You know, news about servants and babysitters beating children are not rare nowadays."

"That's true," Amber nodded, for she had read a lot of relevant news.

Even she herself had been through such experiences.

Her mother passed away when she was three.

And her father married a stepmother when she was four. At first, though her stepmother was not close to her, she never bullied her. However, everything changed when her stepmother got pregnant. In front of her father, the stepmother was gentle and considerate to her, but as soon as her father left, that woman began to make difficulties for her.

The servants were also on her stepmother's side, helping to give her a hard time. It wasn't until her father caught the servants bullying her that she ended the nightmarish days.
