Chapter 1954 Get Even
In the conference room of the castle, Danrique looked out the window for a long time before retracting his gaze. He had noticed a familiar figure.
She eventually wants to leave. Even though I have risked everything to be with her, she still chooses to abandon me.
Danrique heard that one could not force another person to feel love for the other party but didn’t understand that back then. However, he comprehended its meaning now.
No matter what I do, it would be futile since she doesn’t love me. Her heart would not get wavered, nor would she be moved. This woman could even walk out on me like that. She neither cares about my feeling nor the consequences.
As these thoughts went through his mind, a trace of anger bubbled up in Danrique’s heart. His hand that was holding the cup started trembling.
“You better think it through, Danrique. After all, there’s a limit to your power. If you let me be a shareholder in Lindberg Corporation, I can provide you with tremendous resources while we work in unity in the future. It would be such a beneficial deal to you…” Frank tried to convince him earnestly.
“Beneficial?”
Danrique had remained silent while watching the man put on an act with the other three great families before having to hear him beat around the bush. He couldn’t tolerate it any longer now.
“Do you mean it would be beneficial to you instead?” Danrique’s voice sounded as if it had gotten soaked in an icy abyss.
Following that, the surrounding air temperature dropped. Everyone wanted to hold their breath and watch the situation unfold cautiously.
The smile on Frank’s face stiffened. Nevertheless, the man quickly reverted to his tranquil state. He grinned while looking at Danrique. “What do you mean by this…”
“Lindberg Corporation is operating just fine. We don’t lack finances and resources. Also, we do not need new shareholders. So what right do you have to get a share of the company?”
Danrique didn’t want to waste more time talking to the man and even forsook his basic manners.
A ball of rage was burning in his heart, waning out his patience.
“Danrique, how could you speak to Mr. Adams like that?” Gerard hurriedly stopped him. “Even though Lindberg Corporation doesn’t lack anything, having Mr. Adams join us would help bring in more resources.”
“That’s right…”
“How so?” Danrique directly snapped. “I have all the resources that he has. So why must there be another person taking part in the share allocation? Relying solely on the title of a vice president to invest but lacking the financial resources to do so? Isn’t that robbery?”
“Danrique, you’ve gone too far!”
Gloominess shadowed Frank’s face, and his eyes no longer showed traces of warmth.
Harrier let out a dry cough while drinking alcohol without saying a word.
The anxious Gerard was the first one to speak. “Danrique, your words are truly too outrageous.”
“I agree…” Kevin also chimed in.
“Fine.” Danrique raised his brows and chuckled coldly. “Then why don’t the three of you divide your shares with him?”
“Um…” Kevin’s and Gerard’s expressions fluctuated upon hearing that.
“I’m not involved in this.” Harrier hurriedly spoke up.
After that, he glanced at Frank, whose face flushed with anger. Hence, he immediately added, “I’m a minor shareholder who doesn’t qualify to make any decisions. Danrique, you are the major shareholder, so I’ll listen to you. However, I wouldn’t object to Mr. Adams joining us too. Isn’t it a blessing to earn money together?”
Danrique glanced at Harrier.
This fellow is pretty clever for trying not to offend either side.
On the other hand, it was apparent that Kevin and Gerard were on Frank’s side.
“I’ll concede since you refuse,” Frank replied with a sneer. “However, I’d received reports stating you violated the law in M Nation. Not only are people complaining to me, but they also reported this to the relevant departments. I have to give them an explanation concerning this matter. Therefore, please go with the people from the military to undergo an investigation.”
Frank had put the excuse across in a justified manner as if it was the truth.
In reality, it was a threat in disguise.
Kevin and Gerard stared sheepishly at Danrique. An apprehensive look appeared on their face as the two men felt extremely uneasy deep down.
On the contrary, Harrier seemed relatively calm. He only observed the situation in silence.
Danrique smiled mockingly. He sat on the sofa and gave Frank a chilly look. “Mr. Adams, you are using your position to get even!”
