What Separates Me and You

Chapter 150 All Is Lost

“I’d like to see you try!” Robert’s gaze, filled with rage, swept across the room, locking eyes with everyone seated in the conference hall.

Everyone was gauging his and Lewis’ expressions, but the rage Robert was exhibiting now seemed more or less like the desperate struggles of a man meeting his end.

As soon as Lewis finished speaking, the white-haired shareholder who’d spoken up for him immediately raised his hand without hesitating.

Then, one by one, everyone else in the room raised their hands.

Lewis placed his shares on the table. It was obvious who really was in charge of the company.

Apart from a handful who firmly stood on his side, everyone else was a fence-sitter. They had only raised their hands after seeing everyone else doing the same. It hardly mattered, though. The vote was 12 against one.

And the one person who objected was none other than Robert himself.

Robert stood unmovingly, his face a picture of disbelief. He couldn’t believe that he would get kicked out of the board just like this.

Lewis smiled. “Chairman-oh, wait, I apologize. Dad, the results of the vote are apparent. At this age, you should be resting at home and enjoying your retirement. Don’t you worry. After this, you won’t have to deal with the company’s matters anymore.”

Robert stared at him, his gaze penetrating, as if he wished nothing but to cut Lewis into a thousand pieces with his glare.

Lewis glanced sideways at Kiran and continued, “Earlier, you mentioned handing your shares to Mr. Alvarez here. I think it’s a wonderful suggestion. It seems like you’ve long thought about retiring from the board.

“In that case, let’s not delay matters anymore. The shares will be transferred today.”

“Bullshit! Who said I was going to give my shares to him?!”

Then, someone spoke up, saying, “You were the one who said it just now. It’s all recorded as well. Mr. Alvarez, you were once the chairman of the board too. You can’t be thinking about going back on your word, can you?”

Robert was rendered speechless.

His previous actions had solely been aimed at getting Kiran on the board of directors. Now that the company was under Lewis’ control, allowing Kiran to join the board would pave the way for the merger with the overseas holding group.

No matter how he looked at it, Lewis had profited from the entire situation, having solved the

company’s crisis without sparing a breath while also seizing control of the overseas holding group of the corporation.

This plan of his was indeed ruthless and cunning!

“I disagree. Earlier, I said that I would only give him my shares if Kiran becomes the president

Lewis replied, “That’s fine too. Mr. Alvarez should be the president of the company.”

Robert fell into silence.
