Chapter 624
While the discord between the two men was going on, the others had already split into two groups, standing with the person they supported.
It was as if they had discussed doing so beforehand. The voting hadn’t even started yet!
Although Darrell was an illegitimate child, Kenneth showered him all of his love. After Kenneth divorced Ethan’s mother, Darrell officially held the title of Mr. Miller.
Still, Ethan’s grandfather wouldn’t acknowledge Darrell as his grandson. He didn’t even want to acknowledge Kenneth! Ethan’s grandfather went as far as removing Kenneth’s name from the family tree!
Since it was the Millers’ family matter, it wasn’t something everyone could intervene in.
But now, the future of the company was depending on it.
Everyone stepped away from the duo, who were fighting for the right to be the president of Miller Group, not wanting to get
into trouble.
No one expected Ethan’s public display of affection would cause this.
The top company was cornered by competitors and suffering from internal conflict at the same time.
Everyone thought that they would be able to witness something unprecedented with their own eyes.
Considering that it was a fight for the throne between the two sons, the others were sensible enough to keep their mouths shut. They didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
It was a duel between two great men! They wouldn’t want to get into trouble by joining the fray.
Now that Ethan was driving Darrell out of the room, Darrell said calmly, “It’ll be my place soon. I just wanna know what it feels like to sit here beforehand. Do you have an opinion about it, Ethan?”
Despite his gentle demeanor, his formidable aura didn’t lose one bit.
“It’s either you get out of here yourself, or I’ll help you with it. Which one do you choose?” Ethan gave Cyril a look.
Cyril cracked his knuckles intimidatingly.
Darrell read the room and stood up. “Fine. It’s nothing to rush anyways.”
He then sat on Ethan’s right, and Ethan frowned. It seemed like Ethan didn’t like the close distance between them.
The others took their seats. An untrammeled Darrell played with the water bottle in front of him.
He lowered his voice. “Ethan, I dare to sit here because I can guess what your trump card is. But you might not know what’s mine.”
Ethan was uneasy for a second upon hearing that, wondering if there was a variable to the situation.
Darrell continued, “Your trump card is the shares Grandpa gave you. But Ethan, you’re foolish for transferring them to others to maintain the deceptive peace within the company.
“People change their minds very easily. Do you think that things will go according to your expectations?”
“It looks like you’re confident that it’ll be your win.”
“Ethan, do you still remember what I said when I was young? I said I will steal everything from you. I’ve poured so much effort into this.
“Why are you the successor of the Miller Group when no one likes you? That should be me.
“Grandpa is stubborn as a bull. Since he didn’t want to give it to me, I might as well steal it myself. You think that you own 45 percent of the company shares, don’t you?”
Ethan was taken aback at how unexpected Darrell was.
“It looks like I guessed it right. I know that you were aware of me buying the company share in secret. And you were relying on Grandpa’s confidant. I can tell you that you’ve lost this game.”
Ethan’s gaze
landed on one of the people. That person’s gaze was wavering as he was embarra*sed. “I’m sorry, Mr. Miller. I have my reasons…”
“Jeez, let this younger brother of yours teach you a lesson, Ethan. About why the trick is always the opted method in situations like this.” Darrell grinned as though he was confident that he would win.
“Let’s start the voting.”
Right then, the door was opened. Standing by the door, Olivia looked at Ethan. “I’m not late, am I?”
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
