Chapter 260 An Unexpected Discovery 1
Before Troy officially goes to the police station to coordinate with the investigation, the netizens have been discrediting him, saying that he is a treacherous businessman who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. And as long as someone stands in the way of his fortune, they will all be driven to a dead end. And even their relatives won’t be spared.
The overwhelming reports cause a great negative impact on the Charlie Group, making its stock price plummet. But at this time, out of nowhere, someone begins to buy the Charlie Group's shares, which is the same as the situation when Troy and Lennon confronted each other.
Troy temporarily holds an emergency meeting, only to be faced with the condemnation of a group of old shareholders who have been with the company over the years. And he apologizes and says, "I'm sorry, I didn't consider this point. And someone else is taking advantage of the situation now."
Whether it is him or Lennon who is the supreme ruler of the company, the company is still surnamed the Charlie Group as well as the Charlie family's property. However, if the company was acquired by a person of unknown origin, then the situation would be quite serious.
Troy didn’t anticipate this problem at the time. Neither did he expect that others would follow his suits, collect the small shares, and then first become the largest shareholder before acquiring the whole company bit by bit.
"Now is not the time to say sorry. The company's stock price has fallen to three percentage points. And outsiders are lusting for the company. You have to tell us what you are going to do now!”
"I will be responsible to the end. Please don't worry. Give me some time. And I will take care of everything."
“Bang!” The door of the conference room is pushed open. And Troy’s third and fourth uncles walk in.
"Why are you here for discussion? Just replace him."
Troy's third uncle looks straight at the shareholders with a gloomy look on his face and says, "As you can see, he, who is now entangled in a lawsuit, can no longer take care of himself. So how can he have the energy to care about the company? Now the situation is so serious. We can no longer trust him. We should push someone else out to be in charge. Stabilizing the situation of the company is the wise thing to do!"
Troy asks coldly, "Then who will you recommend? And who do you think is more suitable, Third Uncle?"
"Of course I recommended someone more capable and more responsible with a clear family background to take care of the company."
"No matter who this person is, it has to be surnamed Charlie, right? Then please tell us, who is the suitable candidate in your mind now?"
Originally, Troy’s third and fourth uncles were standing up for their brother, Lennon. However, unexpectedly, Lennon was accidentally killed. Although the murderer has not yet been determined, the two of them have ascertained that it is their nephew, Troy, who is the murderer. After a brief panic, they certainly agree that they should strip him of power. Otherwise, sooner or later, they will also end up in the same situation as Lennon.
"There are many people in the Charlie family, including Lennon’s son, my son, and your fourth uncle's son. Although your Uncle Emmanuel doesn’t have a son, his ability is not worse than yours. So all these people are candidates. And they are more suitable than you to manage this company now."
Troy laughs sarcastically, "Regarding First Uncle's son, Simon Charlie, I gave him a subsidiary company, naming him its general manager. And three years have passed. The company always has a negative turnover. Third Uncle, as for your son, he was expelled from the school before he finished his
study there. As for the reason for his expulsion, I think we don’t need to say it in front of so many people, right? As for Fourth Uncle's son, a man who is afraid to go out when it's dark, can he hold up the heavy responsibility of managing a company?"
After he finishes his words, he looks askance at the shareholders, "Everyone, the way you see it, are you willing to let such a person take over the company?"
The crowd is silent. And Troy's third uncle glares in exasperation, "Even if these people you mentioned are unsuitable, what about your Uncle Emmanuel? Is he unsuitable too?"
"Does Uncle Emmanuel know that you are championing him like this? I advise you to ask him first. Although people's desires are like bottomless pits nowadays, not everyone is overwhelmed by the desire for profit. Uncle Emmanuel and the two of you are not the same. He can't do things to kick me down when I am broke."
Troy's third uncle’s face turns red as he taunts him, saying, "Everyone, think about it, my elder brother died for no reason. Finally, who surely has something to do with it? If you want to destroy this company with your own hands, then continue to support a person who is tied up in lawsuits!"
Troy's third uncle throws open the door and leaves. And the shareholders who are originally silent get up and say "For the sake of working with your father back then, we will trust you for a few more days. If the situation is still not reversed at all or even worse than now, then sorry that we can only make other plans."
Robert walks out of the conference room with Troy and says in exasperation, "The old fox, Lennon, finally stopped making troubles. But I didn't expect two more foxes to emerge."
"Pay attention to your words. If your words were heard by others and became evidence to accuse me of the murder, then however hard I tried, I surely wouldn’t clear my name."
Robert looks around warily and lowers his voice, saying, "I got angry for a moment, okay? And I didn’t think that much..."
The two of them go into an office and close the door tightly. Troy asks, "Have any new clues been found out about the cause of my uncle's death?"
"The new clues are all unfavorable clues to you. I heard that Simon recorded a statement with the police, saying that your uncle had told him before he died that if he had any accidents, he should sell his assets and go far away, saying that you surely wouldn’t let him go."
“Bang!” Troy slams his fist on the desk, "Damn it
"When he said this, it looks even more likely that you murdered your eldest uncle. So I guess the police department notified you to go under interrogation because of such a statement."
"No, there surely is more important evidence." Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
"It is clear that he wasn't killed by you. How come there is important evidence to prove that you are a murderer?"
Robert roars in anger, feeling eager to find the one hiding in the shadows and skin him alive. Only after that will he be relieved.
"This is a long-planned trap, at least, it has been planned for several years. Otherwise, how can I be in such a passive position? It seems that this person has been eyeing me for a long time. And he surely isn’t an ordinary person."
"Then shouldn't we take any action now? We can't just sit around and wait for death, right?"
Troy nods, "Let's solve the company's problems first. Go and find out the nameless guy who acquired the shares and check who he is?"
"I'm angry when it comes to this! When I went to acquire the company, those shareholders refused, saying that the shares are their lives. But now it is good. As someone of unknown origin came to acquire their shares, they sold the shares to him easily. They are deliberately making things difficult for us!"
"Now is not the time to get angry. Stabilize the situation first. In the future, when we solve all the issues, as for these people who are against me, I will make them regret it!"
A haze flashes across Troy's profound eyes. And he clenches both fists tightly. And he is as angry as Robert.
"Then will you go to the police station tomorrow?"
"Yeah. If I don’t go there, I will look guilty instead."
"Good..."
In the evening, Troy drives back to Ziteng Garden. Before getting off of the car, he tries to put on a relaxed smile so that Karin who became his wife yesterday won’t be worried about him today. In his opinion, a good man isn’t supposed to make his wife worry about him.
"Mr. Troy, you are back."
Yuma comes forward and takes his coat over, "Dinner will be ready soon."
Seeing that Karin isn’t downstairs, Troy asks in surprise, "Where is Madam?"
"She is reading in the study. I wonder whether the books are so fascinating. She doesn’t come downstairs all day. I sent lunch up for her. And she didn’t eat much."
Troy smiles, goes upstairs, and quietly arrives at the door of the study. Then he opens the door slightly and takes a look inside, only to see Karin is busy reading books as she wrinkles her beautiful and willow-shaped eyebrows. It seems that she is thinking about something.
He pushes open the door and walks in. As Karin intends to put down the book, he grabs the book in his hands, "The Essence of Business Enterprise Management?"
Troy raises his eyebrows, "Are you, who aren’t going downstairs all day, reading this all day?"
She nods her head in embarrassment. Originally, she wanted to wait until she officially reported to the company before telling him. But she doesn’t expect to be discovered by him so soon. She, who has been absorbed in learning, didn’t pay attention to the fact that it was time for him to go home.
"Well..."
"Did you do so for me?"
"Yes."
She nods again. Troy reaches out and hugs her into his arms, saying with a long sigh, "It's very touching. But if you don't even have the food well because of my thing, I would rather you shouldn't do anything for me."
