The Cherished Wife

Wife 115

Charles’s long fingers moved across the papers as he narrowed his eyes, focusing on the information in the documents. They contained details about the Shaw family and some issues involving Winter.

After a moment, Charles tapped the papers, gathered them up, and texted Ronald back. “I’m on my way!”

He straightened his tie and headed for the conference room.

Everyone in the room was getting restless, especially Robert and his friends, who all stuck together. They all knew a bit about what was going down today, but none of them could really believe Charles would have the guts to go against them. Their shares might not be a lot, but if they sold them, it could really rock the boat for the Colossus Group. They just could not see Charles actually taking them on today.

However, they guessed wrong. Charles was not just ready to make a move, he was ready to pull out his trump card.

The moment Charles walked into the meeting room, he slammed his papers down on the table and took his seat like he owned the place, a small smirk on his face. “Mr. Harris, didn’t you have something you wanted to tell us all today?”

Robert’s face turned sour. “Charles, are you serious about this?”

Charles just shrugged. “Robert, you know what I’m like.

“And what if I don’t? You know my shares might not be the biggest, but…”

Charles cut him off with a wave of his hand. “No ‘buts‘ about it. I’m not one for bargaining, especially when the other party is at a disadvantage.” He glanced over at Ronald, who quickly pulled out another document from his briefcase and handed it over to Robert.

“Jenson’s shares aren’t my last play. This is!” With a small laugh, Charles teased, “Want to take a look at what I’ve got here?”

Robert paused for a moment when he heard those words, but then he puffed up his chest bravely. “I don’t buy that you have anything left to scare me with. Sure, Jenson’s stuff might get me in trouble, but I sold my share ages ago. You think you can still push me around, Charles?”

“Sold them?”

“No way!”

“That can’t be true!” The other shareholders were shocked, hardly believing Robert had actually sold his

shares.

A few of Robert’s friends chimed in, “Exactly! The tiny dividends from Collosus Group barely amount to anything. We’ve all had it rough under you. We’d rather sell our shares and live happy lives than work for you!”

Robert gave Charles a smug look. “The shares aren’t ours anymore, so we’re not part of Collosus Group. Your threats don’t mean a thing to me now, do they, Charles?”

However, Charles just gave him a little smile that seemed to say he knew something Robert did not. Robert felt uneasy, not sure what Charles was up to. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Ronald, watching his boss with a knowing look, handed a document to Robert. “Mr. Harris, don’t you

want

to take a peek?”

Robert’s heart sank as he flipped through the documents Ronald handed him. His face drained of color, and he collapsed into his chair. “Y–you actually did this…”

Charles’s long fingers drummed on the desk. “Had you handed in your resignation earlier, I wouldn’t have needed to reveal this.”
