Chapter 1073: Good night, Chairman.

Later that day...

"Those fools—ack!" Chairman Bennet clasped his chest dramatically, his blood pressure rising at the news on the television. "Ugh... those brats. They really- aren't they going overboard?! How could they do this to our Bennet family!? Oh, good lord!"

Grace, who had just entered the ward, paused when she heard Chairman Bennet's grumblings. A shallow breath slipped past her nostrils, and she dragged her feet inside.

"Good evening, Chairman Bennet." A smile took over her face as soon as she stood close to his bed. Glancing at the business news report on the television, she quickly understood what had made the old man angry.

"I was hoping you wouldn't see it before I could tell you, but it seems... my work took up so much of my time today." A wry smile crossed her face again as she walked over to the chair beside the bed. She placed her purse down, her eyes scanning the chairman. "How are you, Chairman?"

"Hmph! How dare you ask how I am?! Can't you see?!" Chairman Bennet pointed at the television, his eyes on her. "My son is trying to bring down our Bennet family's hard work. What am I going to tell our predecessors if they find out I let Global Prime Logistics fall under my watch?"

"..." Grace opened her mouth but then closed it again.

"Why are you closing your mouth?! Did you just change your mind about telling me the details, young lady?!" Chairman Bennet gasped in disbelief, watching Grace slide her eyes to the corner. "Fine! If you don't want to tell me what's going on, I'll just leave and fix it myself!"

With that, Chairman Bennet reached for his IV drip pole and flung his legs out of the bed. As soon as he was seated on the edge of the bed, he slipped his feet into his indoor slippers. He didn't waste a second as he stood, fueled by anger. This couldn't go on.

Charles was obviously making a move on Global Prime Logistics. Worse, he had joined forces with the Miller family! Even if Stephen had his talents and skills, Chairman Bennet knew the latter wouldn't stand a chance. Not to mention, Atlas was now a part of the Pierson Corporation as its new COO! Even if Charles messed up, the fact that Atlas was second in command at Pierson Corporation meant people would turn a blind eye to it.
