Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 846: 256: Abusing scum, Viola who is both A and cool! _6
 

“Is President Thompson in there?”

Brian Fitzell approached the door and looked at the secretary.

The secretary nodded and lowered her voice, “President Thompson is in there having a video conference, Director Fitzell please wait for a moment.”

“Alright.” Brian Fitzell nodded.

Brian Fitzell waited outside for half an hour, and the video conference finally came to an end. The secretary came over and said, “Director Fitzell, you can go in now.”

Brian Fitzell nodded and walked towards the office.

“President Thompson.”

Sawyer Thompson, who had been in a video meeting for three hours straight, looked exhausted, “Brian, you’re here. Sit down.”

Brian Fitzell looked at Sawyer Thompson, “President Thompson, is everything alright?”

Sawyer Thompson smiled and said, “I’m fine. What hasn’t the Thompson Group seen over the years? What does a little difficulty count? Anyway, what brings you here?”

Brian was unsure how to broach the subject. After all, the blow was huge for Sawyer Thompson.

After mulling over his words carefully, Brian said, “President Thompson, have you heard about Mr. Pakes?”

“What about him?”

Brian continued, “He has rallied 100 shareholders and is preparing to withdraw their shares and investment.”

Upon hearing this, Sawyer Thompson slightly furrowed his brow, an eventuality he hadn’t considered.

After all,

Avery Pakes had been by his side through thick and thin.

“Could there be a misunderstanding?”

As soon as the words left his lips, there came a knock at the door from the secretary, “Mr. Thompson, Mr. Pakes is looking for you.”

Hearing this, Sawyer Thompson looked up at Brian Fitzell.

He had a bad feeling.

“Let him in.”

Brian said, “Mr. Thompson, I’ll step out for a moment.”

Sawyer said, “You don’t need to.”

Brian nodded.

Soon enough, Avery Pakes walked in.

He wasn’t alone.

He was accompanied by several shareholder representatives, including James Harper and Charles Clinton.

It seemed that what Brian said was true.

Sawyer squinted his eyes.

“Mr. Thompson.”

Avery Pakes came over to Sawyer Thompson and handed him a file, “Could you please sign here?”

Sawyer Thompson took the file.

It was the share withdrawal agreement.

The room fell silent.

Brian Fitzell was furious, looking at Avery Pakes he said, “Mr. Pakes, you’ve gone too far!”

Would there even be an Avery Pakes now without Sawyer Thompson?

And this is how he repays him!

By kicking him when he’s down.

Sawyer Thompson didn’t speak, he looked at Brian, opened his mouth slightly, “Sherry.”

Unexpectedly,

Sawyer Thompson was not angry, nor did he show any rage. He was surprisingly calm. He then looked up at Avery Pakes, “Are you sure about this?”

Just one sentence.

Avery Pakes was stunned for a moment, then said, “Yes, Mr. Thompson, I’ve made up my mind. Moreover, this is everyone’s wish. It’s not that we don’t want to work with you, but we can’t afford to offend the people you have angered. Please sign the document, we will surely meet again.”

“What a nice way of putting it, ‘we will surely meet again’,” Sawyer Thompson picked up the pen, but didn’t sign, and said, “Old Avery, if I remember correctly, we’ve known each other for twenty years, haven’t we?”

Avery Pakes knew that Sawyer Thompson was playing the emotion card. He wasn’t going to fall for it. “Mr. Thompson, no matter what, we are friends. Rest assured, if you are ever truly in need in the future, I will not stand idly by!”

“Well, I thank you for that.” Thanks to time, he had clearly recognized someone’s true colors.

Avery Pakes laughed and said, “No need to be so formal, Mr. Thompson. If you’re wise, I advise you to sell the Thompson Group at a low price soon, or else, you might become homeless.”

Sawyer Thompson didn’t say anything, he just signed the document.

Brian Fitzell frowned deeply.

After finishing signing, Avery Pakes satisfiedly took the document, “President Thompson, I should leave first.”

The next time they met, Sawyer Thompson will have been stripped of his prestigious role.

Thinking about this, Avery Pakes felt extremely delighted.

Having acquired the signed document, Avery Pakes contentedly left Sawyer Thompson’s office.

James Harper and Charles Clinton followed him.

After leaving the office, James Harper frowned, “I have this inexplicable feeling of unease. Don’t you think something unexpected might happen?”

Charles Clinton had the same feeling, “I also think that Sawyer Thompson signed it too quickly.”

Could it be that Sawyer Thompson still has some tricks up his sleeve?

Nevertheless, Avery Pakes was not at all flustered. After all, he had already successfully signed a contract with Nako Garcia. “Both of you overthink too much. Just quietly follow my lead and make money!”

James Harper continued, “Avery, don’t you feel anything at all?”

Avery Pakes laughingly said, “He is desperately out of tricks now!”

First, the Will Family terminated cooperation, and now, more than one hundred shareholders have collectively pulled their stocks and investments. The current Thompson Group was almost an empty shell.

Even if Sawyer Thompson wanted to oppose their withdrawal, he was helpless.

What other alternatives did Sawyer Thompson have aside from compromise now?

Avery Pakes turned to James Harper, “Have you chosen an address for the new company?”

James Harper said, “Yes, it’s chosen. Is it okay to decide on the Walfu Building?”

“Okay.” Avery Pakes nodded.

At that very moment,

With her resignation file in her arms, Lisa Donovan came out of the elevator. Seeing Avery Pakes and the others also coming out of the elevator, she smiled and came forward, “President Pakes, President Charles, President Harper ….”

Avery Pakes looked at Lisa Donovan, “Lisa, your fiance didn’t resign with you?”

Lisa Donovan said, “He is an obstinate person, he would rather break up with me than leave Thompson Group.”

Avery Pakes narrowed his eyes slightly.

James Harper laughingly said, “I can’t believe there are such stubborn-headed people in this world. Lisa, your taste in men doesn’t seem to be very good.”

Lisa Donovan sighed and didn’t say anything.

Soon, news of the termination of cooperation between the Will family and Thompson Group spread to the outside world.

This directly led to a cliff-like fall in the stock value of the Thompson Group.

Three days later.

Pakes Corporation was officially established.

Avery Pakes, along with two secretaries, appeared below the Thompson Group’s building.

The Thompson Group, as it stands today, still seemed glamorous on the surface, but in truth, it wouldn’t hold out much longer.

If it wasn’t for the strong foundation of the Thompson Group, it would have declared bankruptcy long ago.

Sawyer Thompson insisted on holding out up till now, in the hopes of waiting for a turnaround.

Unfortunately,

That turnaround would never come.

Avery Pakes looked at the towering Thompson Group building, his eyes full of smug satisfaction.

Sawyer Thompson probably never dreamed that one day, he would be defeated at his own hands.

With these thoughts in mind, Avery Pakes felt extremely pleased.

“President Thompson, here’s a check for two million. Those goods of yours will end up as nothing but garbage. Why not transfer them to me directly? At least you can earn two million.”

Two million?

Sawyer Thompson looked up at Avery Pakes, “A deal worth eight hundred billion, and you are offering me two million?”@@novelbin@@

“Two million is not a small sum,” Avery Pakes crossed his arms over his chest, “I’m only offering this much because of our friendship. Otherwise, even two hundred thousand would be too much.”

“Who is Uncle Avery insulting?”

Just then, a clear and light voice echoed in the air.

Avery Pakes looked back and saw a slender figure, exuding an extraordinary elegance, seemingly around seventeen or eighteen years old. Against the light, it was a little hard to see her face clearly.

“Viola.”

Seeing Viola, Sawyer Thompson was somewhat surprised.

Upon knowing that it was Viola, Avery Pakes’ eyes were full of disdain.

A greenhorn girl, could she really turn the tide?

“Listen to me, Avery Pakes,” Viola picked up the check on the table and threw it directly onto Avery Pakes’ face. Lifting her chin slightly, her demeanor was both audacious and bright, “In less than three days, I shall ensure that you and those shareholders that betrayed Thompson Group will face ruin.”
