Chapter 423
Linus’ tone was cold and permitted no refusal. “That was before. You’re not the general manager now.”
“How can you do this?!” Gordon was incensed.
What an ingrate, betraying him in the blink of an eye when Gordon used to take good care of him!
Smack!
Linus briskly slapped Gordon across the face right then and kicked him in the chest too!
“Oof!” Gordon was left rolling on the floor once before catching himself.
At the same time, Linus growled, “It’s fine if you don’t sign it. Grande Corp will be suing, and you’ll be in jail!”
“What bullshit agreement is this?!” Gordon snapped indignantly even as he scrambled to his feet. “When did I disrespect a shareholder and affect the company negatively?”
Linus pointed at his nose as he snapped, “You’re really stupid, aren’t you? Mr. Lawrence here is a shareholder of Grande Pharma and Ms. Turnbull’s partner! He’s your boss ‘boss!”
“What… That’s impossible !” Gordon was left staring at Frank in disbelief before turning back to Linus. “Did you make a mistake?”
“Do you think I would make a mistake here?” Linus growled through his teeth-how much of an idiot could he be?!
Gordon flinched in turn and promptly ran up to Frank.
“Please, Mr. Lawrence. I-I’m so sorry for not recognizing you… I can’t lose this job, I have mouths to feed! Please give me a chance…”
Frank kept his hands in his pocket as he shrugged. “Give you chance? I would’ve been beaten to a pulp by your
twentyish security guards if I wasn’t trained.”
“No way!” Gordon quickly cried. “I-I was just going to straighten you out… I’d never kill you!”
“Fuck off.” Frank sent him flying with a kick-the cheek he had to spout that crap!
Then, turning to Linus, he added, “I don’t want to see anyone like him in Grande Corp ever again, or you can leave too.”
His icy glare left Linus flinching, and the latter promptly bowed. “Don’t worry, Mr. Lawrence! This won’t ever happen again.”
Frank snorted coldly and left the theater with Winter and the others.
Aria was watching him worshipfully. “I didn’t know you were a Grande Pharma shareholder … Would you happen to need a secretary? Can Winter and I work for you once we graduate?”
Frank smiled. “Of course, if you have the qualifications .”
Aria giggled. “Can’t we get some leverage, since we’re such close friends at all?”
Frank chuckled. “I don’t own the place, and Ms. Turnbull despises opportunistic people like you.”
Aria actually froze at that.
Beside them, Winter was surprised Frank was a Grande Pharma shareholder as well, and he was not that much older than her.
The gap between them was so huge that there was no telling when she would ever catch up…
Meanwhile, Vicky Turnbull and Yara Quill were seated in an antiquated room at Rainfield Teahouse, savoring some Darjeeling tea.
Just then, Yara asked quietly, “Why did the Salazars suddenly invite you out for tea, Vicky?”
Vicky smiled. “Is there any other reason? They must have seen us making bank and wanted a cut too.”
“Huh…” Yara blurted.
