“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
“Someone is looking for you,” Diana informed, her tone angry, as she pointed at Damian. “I never thought that a trash like you still has friends, huh? Are you using your free time to make friends instead of making more money? Is that why you can’t buy the limited-edition Chanel bag I want?”“No, Diana. That is not the case,” Kane answered, shaking his head. “It is just so hard to earn money nowadays, and I… I don’t have friends,” he said, glancing at Damian. “Maybe he just mistook me for someone else—”“No. I’m not mistaken. I’m really looking for you, Kane Hopkins,” Damian interjected as the side of his lips rose.“Hah. And you were still trying to deny it,” Diana scoffed.Damian looked at the angry woman. “I’m here to offer your husband a job to work for me. I was impressed by his sculptures online, so I personally went here to negotiate with him.”“You? You will offer a job to this guy?” Diana asked, looking at Damian from head to toe. “Aren’t you just scamming us? You don’t even l
Bryan’s mouth widened as he couldn’t believe what he just heard. Damian trusts him? He couldn’t even trust himself, which is why he immediately hid away from the spotlight after the company faced troubles upon their parents’ death.And that is not the only evidence of his cowardness.“I was the one who told Sabrina about Correl’s plan before, but instead of solving it, I begged for her to come back, even if it meant forgetting about all of you.” Bryan forced a laugh. “I don’t want her to be involved with the Ferremento family’s issues. But you know what? If only I had helped her back then, maybe she is still alive…”Damian smiled sadly, shaking his head. “There are also many what-ifs in my mind, too, but thinking about the past can’t do anything right now. We could only focus on the present and stop those two from doing their evil deeds.”As he said those words, Bryan remembered something from his statement earlier. “Wait, did you just mention Carter? Correl’s eldest son?”“Yes. He is
Cielo left the room afterward, and Helena, who had a disappointed look on her face, did the same thing.Ethan, who was usually silent in times like this, also showed emotions for the first time.His eyes were cold, showing hostility toward Carson, thinking a useless man like him ruined Ava’s life.“Aren’t you going to leave as well? I heard that you are taking care of some work by now,” Ethan asked, referring to the pending proposal in the Medivien Corporation’s subsidiaries. “Come with me. I will accompany you.”“No thank you, Ethan. I need to talk to Carson,” Ava answered, her gaze moving toward her husband. “Can we talk for a minute in private?” she asked, yet she had a commanding tone.But instead of answering, Carson stood up and slammed his hands on the table, causing the fork to fall on the floor, before leaving the dining room without saying a word.“That son of a bitch. Is he just adopted? Because I couldn’t see even a small similarity to the other members of the Ferremento f
