chapter 62
“I am guessing everyone had made their choice by now?” Grandpa Matthews inquired.
James was not worried because he had bribed all of the shareholders. He knew he would win the
favors here today.
Before the numbers could be counted Christopher speak out, “I have something to say.”
Everybody was surprised to finally hear him speak.
“Son, you can speak all you want after you are appointed as CEO of the company.” James
lectured him. He did not want his son say anything to spoil his plans.
John scoffed at his brother. It is such a pity that he ended up with such a worthless power hungry
father.
“That is the thing dad. I don’t want to be the CEO of this company.” He retorted seriously.
James almost fainted in anger while there was loud gasps throughout the room.
“Then James, I guess this is final. The boy speaks.” Grandpa Miller told him with finality.
“This is impossible. He doesn’t know what he speaks of.” James roared.
“My grandson is twenty-eight years old. How can he not understand what he speak of?” Grandpa
Matthews cursed at his son.
James snapped in anger, “He is my son, I know what he needs best.”
“Father, I don’t want this company because I have my own. I never told you before but I have been
developing my company over two years secretly and since I am back in the country, I will be running it
as a full-time CEO.”
James was having mixed feelings but happy was not one of them. He doesn’t believe whatever
company his son develop can be as good as the Matthew’s Group. His son has just ruined all of his
hard work.
The entire room was quiet for a Minute. Grandpa Matthews was the first to break the silence,
“Congratulations my grandson. I am proud of you. You are different from your father and you have my
full support.”
Suddenly there was congratulations all over the room and the only person he needed it from
haven’t said a word. When he finally did it was nothing good. He had been developing his company
while he was overseas. He would secretly visit whenever he got the chance to.
James slapped his son across the face, “Did I raised you for nothing? You are worthless just like
your mother. She left the world early and I had to take care of you myself and this is how you repay
me? Ungrateful bastard.”
“Are you this power hungry you can’t even take time to appreciate the hard work of your own son?”
John glared angrily at his brother. He was proud of his nephew for his achievements.
“James, you are so unbelievable. You are going to regret your decision if you don’t appreciate his
work from now.” Dave Miller pitched in.
At this point Grandpa Matthews had nothing to say to his son. He still can’t believe they actually
share DNA.
Christopher got up to leave. When he almost got to the door his father shouted, “Where do you
think you are going?”
Christopher only glare daggers at him.
At this moment Michael walked in with a thumb drive and Christopher stepped aside to allow him
in.
He sat down at his head chair and look at his angry Grandfather but he did not say anything.
“You are lucky that your cousin refused the CEO position because you might have lost it.” Grandpa
Miller scolded him.
Michael only smirked.
“Uncle James, how have you been these past two years? Michael asked with a smile.
People around the room was curious and confused.
Michael looked up at everyone and said firmly, “Everyone who is not family can leave.”
Persons was still sitting. He shouted this time with a changed expression, “Leave now!”
The minor shareholders scurried away as quickly as possible.
The only persons left in the room was the Matthews and Miller family.
“Now let us begin.” He said coldly. The room was so quiet you could hear a pin fall.
James started sweating profusely. He had a bad feeling about this.
Michael gave the thumb drive to Alex so it can reveal what is on it.
Firstly, it was the evidence of his attack two years ago at the bar. It also shows all his recent
transactions, recordings and bribing of the votes.
“How can I produce a son like you? You are cruel. You even tried to kill your own nephew.”
Grandpa Matthews cursed angrily.
John did not say anything because his son never kept secrets from him when it comes to these
important matters. Dave Miller was also enlighten about few things earlier so he wasn’t that surprised.
“This doesn’t prove anything. It is all made up stories.” James was only trying to convince himself
because no one believed him.
“That is not all uncle.” Michael looked at him coldly but he was burning with anger.
James wanted to get away. He looked at his son for help but he turned away not looking at his
father.
“You are also responsible for the kidnapping of baby Sienna Miller. My rightful wife since I was
three.” Michael stared at his now pale uncle who is drench in sweat.
Dave got up in a flash and slammed his fist in James left eye, “Where is my daughter bastard? I
will kill you. You are responsible for my family suffering.”
Grandpa Miller did not want to jump to any conclusion a yet so he asked, “Do you have proof?”
“In fact, I do.” He simply stated and made a phone call. “Come to the conference room.”
Five minutes later, four figure walked in.
Ariana went next to her husband and he pulled her into his lap to be seated. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Samantha took a seat and placed it between her father and Grandfather.
Lovette accompanied her husband while Malcolm kept standing.
“What does these people have to do with the evidence and who is the young lady?” Grandpa
Matthews questioned curiously.
Grandpa Miller jaw dropped and his tears started flowing. Samantha hugged him to comfort him
instantly because he knew what he was thinking.
You could say the same with Dave Miller, “Si… Sienna, is that really you?”
“She looks just like her grandmother when she was that age.”
