“THAT kid… Wanted to kill you?” Ren asked, looking at Sabrina in disbelief. “He is just a college student. Are you being serious right now?”“If he takes after his father, which he probably did, then yes, I’m serious,” Sabrina answered, remembering the information she dug about Carter, the eldest son. “But I know that he’s not after me, but Damian.”Hearing the confidence in Sabrina’s tone, Ren’s brows furrowed. “How can you be so sure?”“Because the announcement for the next heir is just around the corner, and I believe that Carter would like to take everything under control by killing my son.” Sabrina clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. “I won’t let that happen, so we are going to lure them away
AS DAMIAN heard the panic in Francesca’s voice, he suddenly became attentive. “Why? What happened?”“I just heard it from the other directors, who were passing by earlier, that they will have an emergency board meeting anytime by now,” Francesca informed, her tone low, preventing anyone from hearing her. “I believe they will request your presence later.”“An emergency board meeting? What for?” Damian asked, his brows furrowed.“For your removal as the temporary CEO, Sir…”Upon hearing Francesca’s report, Damian almost let go of his phone. He had just recovered from his headache due to remembering his past, yet there was something that he needed to address again.“Did you hear any news on why they wanted to remove me as the current CEO?” inquired Damian, making Anya look at him with her eyes widening in shock.“It was Ma’am Sarah who initiated the emergency board meeting, Sir. But I wasn’t able to hear why they wanted to conduct it,” said Francesca in a low tone. “They already walked p
“THE people in this company,” Damian said, his gaze laced with unwavering determination.“What bullshit is this I’m hearing now, Damian?” Sarah asked, raising an eyebrow. “Do you think we have time for your jokes? If you don’t have a proper plan to make this work, then just tell it to us right now, and stop spouting nonsense.”“Nonsense?” Damian’s forehead creased, and the annoyance was evident in his tone. “Believing the skills and talent of the people who have built this company into what it is today… You call that nonsense? Did you even think how Sir Veron would react to it if he just heard what you said?”The room fell silent, and it was immediately charged with tension. Sarah could only clench her fists under the table and look
“What is it, young master?” asked Leo on the other line.“About Penelope and Carter’s upcoming engagement,” answered Damian in a low tone. “As of now, do you have any news about it?”“Young master Carter wanted to rush the wedding preparations, but the Hellion family wanted to take things meticulously since the Ferremento and Hellion Corporation will merge,” Leo explained.“Do you know their target wedding date?”“Three months from now,” Leo replied, his tone lower than usual. “It will be hard for me to investigate it since Young Master Carter was being attentive when I’m around him; Maybe it is because everyone knows his real identity now.” Upon hearing those words, Carter raised an eyebrow as he stopped slicing his steak. “What the hell are you talking about?”“Before we can even buy shares, we are already beaten up to it. I heard that the existing shareholders bought additional shares at a discount,” Luther said, clicking his tongue as he looked at Carter again. “Didn’t you hear anything about it?”“No, I didn’t.” Carter took his phone and looked at his email. “I wasn’t notified by it, either. Our plan could have been compromised.”Luther looked away. “Yeah. I told Damian about your conversation with Penelope when I visited the Ferremento Corporation.”“You did what?” In a flash, Carter was already in front of Luther, holding Luther’s collar tightly. “I told you before that Damian can’t know about our plan until we execute it, didn’t I?” he muttered, his voice deeply low so no one could hear it.“W-Well, what can I do? Damian looked surprised when I told him about that, and it was satisfying…” Luther tried to reason outThe Fallen Son-In-Law's Retaliation Chapter 309: Poison Pill Strategy
Sarah looked at the document Damian gave her and gasped in shock upon seeing what it was. “M-My removal as a member of the board? Are you joking with me right now?” Sarah asked, carefully looking at the documents by flipping them one by one. “I know that you lack work experience, but are you going to show it like this? There is a proper way of removing someone from the board, and this isn’t like this!”Before she could even finish reading the whole document, Sarah threw it on the table—Specifically in front of Damian.But despite being desperate to intimidate Damian, the latter only smirked and held the document.“Of course, I know that this isn’t the proper way, but if everyone knew here that you are taking bribes from the Hellion Corporation to gain crucial information in this company, do you think they would be in opposition to your removal?”Everyone gasped in shock upon hearing Damian’s statement. The tension filled the air, and all members looked at Sarah with dismay and contemp
“I need help,” Damian said to Leo, as soon as the latter answered the phone. “I’m sure that it was Carter who released that information to the press. This can make the stock prices plummet in an instant, and I just made a move to prevent that from happening.”“We are taking action now, young master. I hired a team to debuff the articles, and I’m also sorting things out with the reporters to take the article down,” Leo informed while instructing his team at the same time. “Hera was also in the process of removing the articles?”“Did you just say, Hera?” Damian asked, his forehead creasing. “She should be in the warehouse. Why would she even help us here?”“Because the articles were intended to reach even the international countries, young master,” answered Leo. “Master Veron was planning to create strategic alliances with the other countries before the accident. Without Hera’s help to clean all the mess, the plan would be destroyed.”“I understand. Just make sure to bring Hera back to
THE reporters were twice as shocked after hearing Damian’s revelation. Damian smirked because he knew that Carter would also feel the same thing.‘He thought that I would not share something like that with the press, especially since it could affect me, Veron, and the market confidence we have in the company, but I guess he underestimated me that much,’ Damian thought, his teeth clenching. ‘I’m more determined to take him down than hide my past down the grave.’“Torture?” asked one of the reporters, his eyes widening—the same as his colleagues. “Could you share more details about it, Sir Damian?”Damian nodded, smiling. He took a deep breath before telling everyone about his past. “Before, I had a huge scar on my back. It was horrible. Even my father was shocked, and he cried after seeing it.” He laughed sadly, remembering the first time he met Veron. “I couldn’t remember anything about it, but recently, I remembered my past. My back was intentionally burned with a gas lighter.”Ever
