Chapter 296 A New Representative
Leah recognized the man who spoke just now. He was the second largest shareholder in the Ford Group.
She remembered he was close to Shawn before. How could he request Shawn to step down at such a critical time?
Leah squinted her eyes and forced a smile.
“Mr. Barr, Shawn is only under investigation. He will be back.”
Finally, Leah understood how crafty businessmen were. No wonder Han was set up before.
Clenching her fists, Leah’s face darkened. However, she had to hide her emotions. She did not want to give up before Shawn was released.
Nonetheless, Davis did not agree with her. He still thought Shawn should step down.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Ford is only stepping down for the time being. He can come back to the company again after he is released.“
Hearing that, Leah could not help but remain silent. She knew once Shawn stepped down, it would be difficult for him to return to the company again.
Before Leah could speak again, Davis continued, “I happened to know someone who could replace Mr.
Ford for the time being. He can become Mr. Ford’s representative, but of course, with high pay.”
Seeing Davis’s smile, Leah finally understood why Davis wanted Shawn to step down. He wanted to appoint his man as the new representative.
“He should be here soon. Let us welcome him together.”
Right then, the door of the meeting room was pushed open.
Han, dressed in a black suit walked in slowly. However, as soon as he met Leah’s eyes, his face darkened.
Leah is here for the shareholders’ meeting on behalf of Shawn? Damn! She’s really good to him!
Immediately, Davis stood up with a smile. “Ethan, you’re here. I’m sorry to keep you waiting in the lobby."
However, Han ignored him and walked straight to the center of the meeting room. “I hope I’m not wasting my time.”
Han was the one who set Shawn up. However, his intention was to stop Shawn. As for the Ford Group, he was not a bit interested at all.
“You’re the one who set him up, right?” Leah asked, clenching her fists.
Han did not deny it. He smiled and nodded.
“Do you think it’s funny?” Leah asked. She was enraged.
Hearing that, Han walked over to Leah slowly. “Well, isn’t it interesting to see Shawn losing everything? Do you think he can turn the table like me in the end?”
Leah was stunned. It seemed that Han came back to Linkville for revenge.
Leah was confused. However, she could not betray Shawn. He was good to her in the past two years.
“Let’s vote since we can’t make the decision.”
Leah came back to her senses when Davis suddenly spoke up.
"Please raise your hand if you agree to let Ethan become Shawn’s representative.”
As soon as Davis finished his words, all the other shareholders raised their hands. These shareholders used to fawn over Shawn but now, they could not wait to see Shawn step down. They only cared for their own benefits.
Leah glanced around. The majority raised their hands. It was useless for her to oppose. Han would become the new representative no matter what.
With that, Leah picked up her bag and left the conference room without looking back. She did not want to waste more time.
However, Han’s face darkened seeing Leah leaving the meeting room. Immediately, he rushed out to
chase after her.
Outside the lift, Tom reached out his hand to protect Leah when he saw Han was trying to catch up with her.
“Are you going to give up so easily?” Han sneered. He knew Leah would not give things up easily.
“You set everything up, and I can’t fight you. So, I gave up. As for Shawn, I believe there is justice. If he’s innocent, the tax department is going to release him sooner or later!” Leah could not help but scowl.
Ding!
Right then, the lift door opened. Leah quickly went in. However, Han followed in as fast as he could. He then pressed the close button before Tom got in.
Inside the lift, Leah was standing right opposite Han alone. Subconsciously, she stepped back. She was worried. “What do you want?” she blurted.
Han smirked and stared at Leah’s beautiful face. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Leah could not help but glare at him angrily. She was not a fool. How could she not know what kind of person Han was?
“I can help Shawn. But it depends on you.”
“Don’t beat around the bush and say what’s on your mind.”
Leah thought it was time for her to repay Shawn. She owed Shawn too much in the past two years. If she could repay his kindness, she would take Carlotta and leave.
“Can you stay with me for two months? I need someone to accompany me while I’m in Linkville!” In the end, Han said.
For a long time, Leah remained silent.
Did Han come back to humiliate me? Did he think I’m a commodity?
Leah gave Han a slap angrily.
“Who do you think you are? And what do you take me for?”
However, Han remained silent. He touched his left cheek gently. In fact, he did not feel anything at all.
Nonetheless, Han’s face darkened, and he stared at Leah ferociously. He was not mad because Leah slapped him. He was mad because Leah rejected him, and it was obvious why she rejected him.
Han squeezed Leah’s chin and stared into her eyes. “You’re going to destroy your future, especially Shawn, you know?”
