Chapter 135 The Difference

The executives at Royden Group called for an emergency board meeting. Andy Shaw turned up late for the meeting and, on the way to his seat, gave a few of the directors that he was familiar with a knowing look.

The directors immediately brought up the topic to discuss, “Mr. Royden, I think it is time we take back the funding for the Racing Association. There has been much commotion with the Thunderbolt Cup, and the Racing Association is slow with giving us a response.”

Many people started to agree with them as it regarded finances. “They’re right, we’re just going to be the butt of the joke. We should retract our funding before things get worse.”

“The fund has already been transferred, and we’ve even signed a contract. If we were to retract our funding now, what would happen to our reputation?” Edgar asked in a nonchalant tone as he sat in the president’s seat.

No use crying over spilled milk.

“We won’t have to deal with Ben Ludwig’s hospital fees, will we? I was just at the finance division this morning, they…” One of the directors started to say but was shut up by a glare from Edgar.

Andy frowned and pretending as though he had no idea what was going on said, “Mr. Royden, I think Mr. Jameson is making some sense. No one can be sure about what happened on the race course, but since the company has already invested in them, we don’t have to foot anymore than what we have given. What if people started to spread rumors about you pretending to be nice to curry favor?”

“What do you mean?” Edgar’s expression changed suddenly.

“Well, we all trust you are a man of your word, but there are people out there who would manipulate your actions. Isn’t your ex-wife dating Ben Ludwig? I think we should avoid the complications.”

“Mr. Shaw is right. The Ludwig family can deal without the funds anyway!”

Edgar’s gaze turned frosty, and he slammed the documents in his hands down onto the table, “We’ve approved this during the last meeting; you are all just wasting everyone’s time.”

The corner of Andy’s lips lifted as his smile deepened.

“All Mr. Royden means is that we should think about the company. Right?” Andy said, and chaos broke out in the meeting room.
