Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 387

The tension in the conference room was palpable as normalcy returned, leaving a silence that was

almost deafening. The mood, however, remained grim.

Several shareholders, who once had close ties with Kemp, shivered involuntarily, shrinking back in their

seats as if they were desperate for the long-awaited shareholders' meeting to conclude.

Bennett cleared his throat and spoke with an apologetic tone, "Sorry to keep you all waiting! I promised

we'd wrap this up in an hour, and time is up..."

Those who felt as if a great weight had been lifted straightened their spines, allowing themselves a sigh

of relief and daring to look up at last.

But the moment they raised their heads, they were met with Bennett's piercing gaze that seemed

omnipresent, turning their faces ashen with fear.

Bennett scanned the room decisively and continued, "However, an hour is only enough to expose

Kemp's true color. Now, it's time to address the recent turmoil within VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals."

His words hit the room with such force that some people became breathless with palpable alarm. I

couldn't help but sneer with disdain. It was clear they knew exactly what they had done.

And my respect for my father grew; he truly was an old fox. He had used Kemp as a bait to lure those

betrayers within VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals. Then, under the guise of introducing a new product, he was

cleansing the ranks. Brilliant! Bennett’s next words confirmed my thoughts.

"It saddens me to say that among us sit the remnants of Kemp and Claud's lackeys, still skulking about.

As the saying goes, 'What goes around comes around,' and today, it's time for a housecleaning at

VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals."

After his declaration, Bennett raised his hand like a conductor's baton, and his secretary promptly

distributed a stack of documents.

I watched as some resisted taking the papers, while others, curious and eager, grabbed them without

hesitation.

Bennett's resonant voice filled the room. "Your actions have threatened the healthy progress of

VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals. Mr. Wilburn has always been patient, tolerating your shameful behavior

because you were the pioneers who built this company with him.

But today, I, Bennett, as the sole technical shareholder of VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals, must declare that

my team and I can no longer tolerate such individuals within our company, nor choose them as our

partners. Since you've decided to join forces with the likes of Kemp, I'm afraid the only option is for you

to leave VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals."

Emmett stood up, slamming his hand on the table. "At last! This is exactly what we needed! Mr.

Wilburn, we started with the ambition to build something great, but these turncoats have forgotten their

roots, only concerned with lining their own pockets. How much money have you made for them over

the years? Yet, their greed knows no bounds; they even plotted to kick you out, the very benefactor

who lifted them up. Such treachery is intolerable, and we must excise these cancers from our midst!"

His words stirred a chorus of agreement, the room echoing with loud endorsements.

The few who had matters to settle fidgeted uncomfortably.

Emmett continued, "If they had invested their shares elsewhere, they would've likely gone bankrupt by

now. Yet they have the audacity to reach for more money here. They've contributed nothing, yet have

the gall to act against our interests. By giving them so much, you've been more generous than they

deserve, and still, they show no gratitude—worse than ingrates! Mr. Richardson is right; we cannot

tolerate their greed any longer!"Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Ungrateful wretches! They must go! Clean them out!"

Bennett revealed his first smile of the day. "Then let me formally announce that the new anti-tumor

NT11, will soon be in production on our very own lines." Reаd at

Cheers erupted from the crowd.
