Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 313

It was only seven in the morning, yet the top–floor conference room of the Wade Group was already buzzing with activity.

As the convener of the shareholders‘ meeting, Sean shamelessly occupied the CEO’s chair, Ashton’s rightful seat. To make matters worse, he even had an additional chair brought over for Justin, seating him as an equal at his side.

Watching their display of arrogance, the other shareholders around the massive conference table merely exchanged glances in silence.

In their minds, Ashton had already been written off as CEO of the Wade Group.

What truly preoccupied them was not whether Ashton belonged to the Wade family, but rather who would seize control of the CEO position next.

Under Ashton’s leadership, the Wade Group had become his personal stage. The shareholders had long grown accustomed to staying absent from meetings, simply waiting for their annual dividends.

While pocketing dividends without effort was comfortable, the emptiness of it eventually gnawed at them.

Many harbored the uneasy suspicion that Ashton might one day sell them all out.

Meanwhile, in the secretary’s office, Jalen sat in silence at his desk, his face unreadable. Behind their computers, his two assistants worked nervously, their hands trembling over the keyboards.

One of the secretary whispered, “Jalen must be angry.”

Another replied, “Definitely. He hasn’t said a word since he sat down.”

The first secretary frowned in response, “But is he angry at the shareholders, or worried about Mr. Wade? Do you think the people in that conference room will actually force Mr. Wade out?”

The other responded, “He’s angry at the shareholders, no doubt. After all, Jalen is a shareholder too. Everyone was discussing this in the company chat this morning–he must have seen it. Of course he’s upset.

“But if Mr. Wade really gets pushed out, what happens to us? Will we be fired too? New bosses always bring their own people.”

“Who cares! We’ll just follow Jalen,” the first one said.

The other agreed, “That’s right. All we have to do is follow Jalen.”

The two thought their voices were low, but Jalen overheard every word.

His foul mood unexpectedly lightened after hearing their exchange.

“They’ll follow me wherever I go?
