Frank gave a brief, mocking smile and said, "Why don''t you ask the people present if you''re still the chairman of the Smith Group?"
Luke gripped his cane tightly.
Thest time he was so angry that he spat out blood, though it didn''t threaten his life, it did affect some of his nerves, making his limbs less agile. That was why he was anxious and had teamed up with Simone to help Ben take control of the Shaw family, and then cooperate with him.
With control over both the Smith and Shaw families, he would have more power than Frank.
He could also control thetter.
But he didn''t expect that Frank woulde to the Smith Group early in the moming and convene a senior executives meeting without notifying him.
That wasn''t exactly true.
That brat knew someone would inform him.
He hade as quickly as possible, only to find that he was still toote.
"Earlier, I spoke with Mr. Shaw on the phone. He haspletely taken over the Shaw family and is now in charge. He is interested in cooperating with the Smith family, but this cooperation can only be discussed and signed with me.
"Everyone here is also aware that with the development of the times, the Smith family is undergoing a transformation, which inevitably requires arge investment. I believe that aside from the Shaw family, there is no other suitable partner willing to cooperate with us." The people present remained silent.
The cooperation between the Shaw family and the Smith family was not something Luke could achieve alone.
The most troublesome part was that Frank was even more ruthless than his father.
He had taken control of their lifelines.
They had no choice but to submit.
A director who had followed Luke for many years said, "Luke, since you''ve mentioned that the Smith Group needs to undergo a change, then we old-timers should retire gracefully. It''s the era of the younger generation now. "Besides, your son is quite excellent, having established apany like the SZ Technology on his own. Since he returned to the Smith family, thepany has developed well. Considering your health, you should let go." Luke couldn''t believe what he was hearing. The person speaking was an old general who had helped him elevate the Smith family to new heights.
"Do you know what you''re saying?"
"Of course, I do. Luke, you and Frank both share the same surname. Regardless of who manages the Smith Group, it will always belong to the Smith family. Why make such a fuss?" "You!"
Smack!
Frank threw the document onto the conference table, leaned backzily, and casually propped his long legs up.
He tapped the table with his slender finger, his gaze sweeping over the crowd with a cold, detached expression. "Let me see, who else wants Mr. Smith to continue managing the Smith family?" No one spoke.
Even the teammate who had fought alongside Luke fell silent.
Frank smiled at Luke''s furious, pale face and chuckled.
He said calmly, "Let''s vote. Those who agree to remove Luke from the position of chairman, raise your hands."
After a few seconds, everyone raised their hands.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Luke struck the ground hard with his cane.
He red at Frank, his face contorted with rage. "You ungrateful bastard!"
"I shouldn''t have let you return to the Smith family!"
Frank sneered. "What you shouldn''t have done is team up with outsiders to bully Charlotte."N?velDrama.Org content rights.
Once again, it was all for that woman.
Luke, enraged to the point of convulsions, finally lost consciousness, his eyes rolling back.
Frank raised his hand, and n called in the bodyguards to carry Luke out.
Frank stood up, buttoning his suit as he said, "Everyone has made the right choice."
The crowd could hardly hide their distress.
They forced smiles as they watched him leave.
As noon approached, Yasmin still hadn''t returned from Grandma''s ward, and I was extremely anxious.
Jane initially tried tofort me, but as she saw that I was growing increasingly restless and unable to sit still, she decided to check on the situation quietly. Unfortunately, as soon as she opened door of the ward, she ran into Yasmin.
