Chapter 602: Claire Kidnapped Bradley

Ethan rolled back into the Douglas Group, and the first thing he did was clean house.

Over the years, Claire and Howard had stuffed the place with their cronies. After Ethan got booted, they kicked out all his loyal folks, which messed up the company big time.

"Ethan, you sure about axing so many people at once? Howard's probably laughing his ass off right now," the VP said, sweating bullets, thinking Ethan was going too hard, too fast.

Even though they had solid reasons to fire those people, losing so many experienced hands at once was a nightmare for day-to-day operations.

"Michael, chill. I got this," Ethan said, trying to calm him down.

The VP wiped his forehead. How could he not freak out? By backing Ethan, he'd totally pissed off Howard. If Howard and his bastard son Bradley made a comeback, he'd be out on his ass along with Ethan.

Meanwhile, Howard was lounging on his office sofa, chatting happily on the phone.

"Awesome, with your help, I feel way better," Howard said, clearly having found a way to mess with Ethan.

After hanging up, Howard looked at Bradley. "Relax, Ethan's been smart for too long, but now he's screwed up. By firing all these people, the company's gonna take a hit. Keep repeating the same lies, and people will start believing them. It won't be easy for him to stabilize things."

All he needed to do was stir the pot a bit, and Ethan's position would be shaky. The same way he climbed up, he'd fall.
