Chapter 428  Andrew stood up, and his previously friendly smile had vanished, reced by an icy demeanor.


    The shift in his expression sent chills through the boardroom, making everyone uneasy.


    He stated coldly, Since my shares now exceed both the CEOS and Mr.


    Hills, doesnt that give me the greatest authority and priority in todays lunch meeting? Michaels face twitched


    In principle, yes, thats correct.


    Edward was not having it, his face contorted with anger.


    Kid, I didnt expect you to pull something like this


    But five billion in funding you must have misappropriated it from somewhere


    With your position and background, even if your family saved for generations, they couldnte up with that kind of astronomical sum.


    Many heads nodded in agreement around the table.


    Edwards logic seemed sound, as instantly injecting fifty billion dors to be the fifth major


    shareholder was suspicious.


    However, Andrew could not care less about their suspicions.


    He slowly walked over to Michael, his footsteps echoing in the tense silence.


    Michael flinched.


    Mr.


    Lloyd, what are you doing? Rx, Andrew replied nkly.


    Youre the CEO of the group, and Im just a board member.


    What could I possibly do to you? Im simply exercising my rights as the groups fifth major shareholder.


    ! Edward shouted angrily, Mr.


    Lloyd, get back to your seat! You might have lucked into bing the fifth director, but you still need to follow basic protocols


    Andrew nodded calmly


    Youre right basic protocols must be followed


    He paused before saying, So when a minor shareholder like yourself shouts at me, the fifth director,


    arent you overstepping your bounds? Edward froze, his lips moving to deliver an angry retort before catching himself


    He mocked, Well, well, Mr.


    Lloyd.


    Youre showing your true colors on your first day.


    Id love to see what you n to do about it.


    He leaned back in his chair with contempt.


    As a founding member who had built thepany alongside Laurens father, he did not view this new shareholder as a threat.


    Meanwhile, Lauren, Marcus, and Eunice watched Andrew with confusion, wondering what his next move would be.


    Mr.


    Hills, you were quite bold earlier, threatening to have me arrested and even making me disappear from this world, right? Andrew asked with a deceptively pleasant smile


    Edward lifted his chin haughtily.


    So what if I did? Though now that youve shown your deep pockets and be a major shareholder, I suppose I cant touch you anymore


    Chapter 428  Andrew nodded.


    Im d you understand that, Mr.


    Hills.


    Now its time for me to settle the score.


    Mr.


    Lloyd, thats enough, Edward scoffed.


    Ive been plenty patient with you.


    Settling scores? Arent you being childish? Andrew shook his head.


    Not at all.


    Without warning, he delivered a powerful p across Edwards plump face.


    The impact was explosive.


    Edwards 200 pound frame, along with his chair, went flying across the room.


    The chair shattered against the wall, while Edward let out a painful groan before his eyes rolled back, and he passed out.


    The boardroom fell into a deathly silence.
