Chapter 958
Maja heard him answer the phone, but she didn’t give enough thought to its meaning. She turned to look out the
window, her heart filled with worry for Holden, However, lan drove her back to Star Movie Group, cautioning her in
the process, “You need to take care of your company affairs. The Raymond family is going to be a bit busy.”
He was clearly referring to the matters of Dennis and his cronies.
Unable to help him out with that problem, Maja could only nod in agreement.
With a heavy heart, Maja entered the company building while lan received a message from Dennis, asking him to
come to Raymond Corporation.
So, lan hit the accelerator to reach there as fast as possible.
On arrival at Raymond Tower, he directly headed to the top floor.
The atmosphere at the top was a bit eerie, as Dennis had been dealing with various documents lately. The top
executives, having not seen lan for a while, wanted to say something but didn’t dare to utter a word as Dennis and
his gang had just entered the conference room. Everyone expected a big event at Raymond Corporation that day.
Standing aloof in the center of the lobby, lan scanned the crowd with a gloomy gaze before striding towards the
conference room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon opening the door, he’saw Dennis sitting in the main seat by the floor–to–ceiling window, a seat that used to be
lan’s. And at that time, Dennis sat there unabashedly with none of his top executives stopping him on his tracks.
The executives who had always trusted lan had suffered in his absence. Seeing him at that point, they felt a sense
of relief and stood up.
“Mr. Raymond, we’re glad you’re finally here.”
“Mr. Raymond, are you feeling okay?”
Two–thirds of the executives who stood up were still loyal to lan, while the remaining third had obviously switched to
Dennis’s camp.
That day’s conference room was especially lively. In addition to Raymond Corporation’s executives, there were also
a dozen members from the Raymond family.
Maureen and Ryan Elston were sitting together, with Ryan so ashamed that he didn’t even dare to look up at lan.
Maureen, on the other hand, held her head high, clearly having made up her mind.
Those members of the Raymond family were all supporting Dennis. They had come that day specifically to force lan
to step down as CEO and kick him out of the Raymond family.
Everyone had seen his disrespectful behavior towards elders last night.
Dennis, sitting in the main seat, rose courteously as lan entered.
“lan, it seems your health hasn’t recovered. How could you be late for such an important meeting?”
lan didn’t look at him but at a man sitting to Dennis’s left.
He was the CEO of EcoTraverse Group. It seemed Dennis had prepared thoroughly, even summoning the CEO of
EcoTraverse Group. At that point, if lan admitted on the spot that he lost the betting agreement, he would lose 20%
of his shares instantly.
Then Dennis, who held the highest shares in the room, would undoubtedly become the CEO after him.
Tall and burly, lan walked past those people, making them feel as if a cold wind had brushed by.
He approached Dennis and calmly called out, “Jeff.”
Jeff instantly came in from outside and quickly grabbed Dennis‘ chair. He appeared polite, but in fact, he was rather
rough as he pulled the chair back.
To avoid the embarrassment of sitting on the floor, Dennis had to stand, his face looking rather displeased because
of those embarrassing events..
Jeff took out a disinfectant wipe from his pocket, wiped the chair, and sprayed the area with disinfectant alcohol
before placing the chair next to lan and politely telling him,
“Mr. Raymond, please take your seat.”
Those series of actions darkened the faces of all the Raymond family members.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlan had disrespected the elders the previous night, and now, he dared to show off in front of Raymond
Corporation’s top executives. A man on the verge of leaving the Raymond family had no right to act like that!
Everyone felt angry, but nobody was brave enough to confront him. Instead, they all looked at Dennis as if they
wanted him to solve that problem.
They had all seen how lan operated over the years. Raymond Corporation’s stocks had multiplied several times
under his control. If they didn’t provoke him, he would not put any other members of the Raymond family in any
trouble.
But he was too dominant, never respecting his elders and only listening to Holden. He rarely communicated with his
father, Steve.
Since Steve’s location was confidential, he was not present. His communication had been cut off, and unless he
initiated contact, he probably didn’t know about the changes in the Raymond family.
After sitting down, the corners of lan’s mouth slightly curled up.
“It seems our elders have something to say?”
The faces of the others turned red, but none of them had the courage to speak up first, so they all looked at
Dennis.
The anger in Dennis‘ heart deepened. Those people didn’t even dare to rebut lan!
