Chapter 406 Remember
Angela watched the scene and thought that if she didn’t know the inside story, she would have thought the bodyguards were loyal.
But in fact, all these people were watching her and James.
“Put him down!” Ralphie’s face turned pale as he shouted at his bodyguards, but no one even listened to him as they took Raylan straight to the lift and down.
The whole floor is silent.
After a few moments, Ralphie’s face eased a bit, but it was still ugly, “What does Sango mean by this? As soon as Grandpa passed away, you want to eliminate the dissidents? What do you want grandpa to think of in his nine corners of the earth if you do that?”
He had put emphasis on the words eradicate dissidents, clearly warning Rouco that if James could do the same to their third house today, he could do the same to their first house tomorrow!
Rouco was thoughtful and whispered something to the Harvey family’s eldest and second daughters, none of whom made a sound in the end.
“You threatened me with Grandpa when he was alive, and you’re still threatening me with him when he’s dead?” James raised his eyebrows slightly, smirking.
Growing up, Ralphie had it better than he did, and it was only because of his grandfather’s favours.
Ralphie’s face stiffened and he didn’t face James with the same intensity as before.
He is not as popular and influential as San at home or in the company. If he fights San now, he will not be able to gain any advantage.
“I don’t like people threatening me, remember?” James gave Angela a careless warning as he tightened the clothes on his body.
Ralphie clenched his fists and tried to tug at his lips, “Sango misunderstood, I didn’t half mean to threaten you, I was just worried about the damage to your reputation and warned you.”
“Crowning words can be said by anyone, what exactly do you mean, we know each other by heart, and you don’t have to play this word game with me. I said I don’t want to hear you threaten me in the future, remember?” James’ voice was faint, but extremely oppressive.
Everyone followed and looked at Ralphie.
Ralphie was so overwhelmed by their stares that he had the feeling he wanted to run away immediately.
Answering James’ words would have embarrassed him, but he had to answer, “Remember.”
“It’s so low I can’t hear it.” James said.
Ralphie’s face was so red it looked like it was bleeding. He clenched his fists hard and opened his mouth several times before finally giving in and saying out loud, “Remember that!”
This shame he has given him today, he will never forget!
James then nodded in satisfaction, “Now that you’ve remembered, don’t make the same mistake again.”
Ralphie clenched his fists tightly, but didn’t even dare to say a word except to nod his head.
If he upset Sango and was taken away and thrown out like his dad, he would have no face to see anyone again!
Seeing the consequences of him provoking James, no one dared to let loose again and responded in kind. The juniors were all desperate to please, while the elders were worried about other things.
“James, with your grandfather gone, you are the backbone of the Harvey family from now on. But you see …… the Harvey Group’s involvement with human experimentation is all over the place, and people are saying that our Harvey family is about to end, do you have any good solutions?” Rouco asked politely.
Everyone looked to James and waited for his answer.
No one is happy with James as the new head of the Harvey Group, but when things go wrong, everyone instinctively relies on him.
Angela didn’t think Rouco was simply asking for James’ advice, the first big thing to come up since Mr. Lawson’s death.
If James has a solution now, fine, but if he doesn’t, then Rouco and the others will surely take the opportunity to deny his competence and try to pull him out of his position as President and Chairman.
“It’s a bit hard for Big Brother to ask that, isn’t it?” Denise said, “The human experimentation thing, James doesn’t even know what’s going on, and you’re a bit too hasty to ask him to give a response.”
Rouco said, “I don’t mean to be difficult for James either, but the market is like a battlefield, it changes rapidly and doesn’t give people time.”
Harvey family’s eldest daughter was less polite, “The weak are stronger, that’s the truth, if James can’t even solve this little problem, then he should give up his chairmanship before it’s too late!”
With the old man, the chairman, gone, it was time for James to take over, after all, he had the most shares in his hands.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
They don’t care about the presidency, and James is capable of being the president of Harvey Group, but they will never give up the chairmanship!
If James is both chairman and president, he will be in charge of the company and the family from now on!
Denise frowned and was about to speak when James beat her to it.
“Great aunts and uncles don’t want me to be the chairman that much? In that case, the positions of president and chairman will be given to you, and the human experiments and other matters will be settled by yourselves, and I will just take the dividends as a shareholder.”
His voice was cold and did not appear to be fake.
Seeing this, Rouco and the others hesitated.
They can manage a few small companies under the group, but if they are asked to manage such a large group, they think they are no match for James.
If this matter is not resolved properly, I am afraid that the whole Harvey family will be finished, the chairman, the president and the shares of Harvey Group will be of no use!
Rouco smiled sarcastically, “James, that’s not what we meant. It’s just that you’re too young now and prone to being impulsive, and if you were both chairman and president, there would be no one to bind you.”
“Let’s put it this way, we’ll start by electing someone to be chairman and discipline you a bit. When a few more years pass and you’re calm enough, then ……”
A sneer crossed the bottom of James’ eyes and he raised his hand to interrupt him, “Eldest uncle doesn’t need to make so many grand excuses. If you want it, take it all, if not, don’t whisper in my ear so much about shady things. It’s too noisy, and it’s annoying.”
He admired them if they dared to take on this hot potato.
But I’m afraid they’re all so adept at infighting that no one has the guts or the ability to take on such a burden!
As James had expected, his words fell long before anyone, including Rouco, raised any half-hearted objection.
Ralphie would like to take it, but I’m afraid no one here would agree to it except him.
Even if he didn’t want to admit it, the gap between his and James’ abilities was too great, and with the Harvey Group now behind bars, there was no way he could fix the situation!
“I’m surprised you’re so confident in your abilities, so I can’t say anything else.” Rouco intoned, “The Harvey Group is in your hands, if you have any difficulties you can talk to us as elders and we will do our best to meet your requirements.”
He tapped James on the shoulder.
