Chapter 405

Chapter 405:

He didn’t like the uncertainty, regretting the hasty promises he’d made in the past.

In the conference room…

“Colson, what did you say? The meeting is postponed?”

“No way! This meeting is crucial. What’s going on with Mr. Green?”

As word of Aiden postponing the meeting spread, disbelief rippled through upper management. They knew Aiden was in the building and had been actively engaged in work. What could be so urgent to require his immediate attention, especially given his pivotal role?

“Everyone, please remain calm.” Colson stood up, commanding silence with a gesture. His authoritative presence quickly settled the room. “Understand this: Mr. Green holds the ultimate authority in decision-making. His decisions are not to be questioned. Furthermore, I will take charge of this meeting, analyze the current situation, and assign tasks to ensure every process is executed flawlessly.” His words, clear and authoritative, brooked no doubt.

Colson, known as Aiden’s right-hand man, wielded substantial influence. His involvement effectively acted as an extension of Aiden’s will.

“I’ve just heard Mr. Green postponed the meeting for a woman. Isn’t that a bit frivolous? With the merger of Forest Corp and Green Group, there are many critical issues requiring Mr. Green’s direct input.”

“Maxwell, you hold five percent of Green Group’s shares, correct?” Colson asked, catching Maxwell Archer off guard with his direct approach.

“What are you implying?” Maxwell responded, visibly uneasy.

“I am here on behalf of Mr. Green to initiate the buyback of your five percent stake. Naturally, you will not be at a loss; we are prepared to offer twice the market value for your shares.”

“No, you can’t do this!” Maxwell exclaimed, rising abruptly from his seat, his face a mask of disbelief. “I have been a loyal supporter of Green Group for many years, giving my all to the company. How can you just dismiss my contributions without any valid reason? I cannot accept this!”

Colson unleashed a cold sneer as he approached Maxwell, his gaze intensifying with each step.

He placed his hands firmly on Maxwell’s shoulders, forcing him back into his chair. The piercing look in his eyes sent a shiver through Maxwell.

“Why? Simply for disobedience. Do you think being a shareholder grants you the right to challenge Mr. Green’s decisions? Unfortunately, you’re mistaken.”

Colson’s gaze swept across everyone in the room, his voice steady yet commanding.

“Understand this: your seats at this table exist solely because Mr. Green respects the trust his grandfather once placed in you. Should he choose, he could take full control of both Forest Corp and Green Group. His word is final.”

Silence enveloped the room, so profound that no one dared even breathe loudly. The veterans among them had long accepted this harsh truth. Their positions here hinged completely on Aiden’s goodwill. With his significant power and influence, replacing any of them would be as simple as issuing a single command.

Yet Maxwell, oblivious to the current dynamics, had audaciously questioned Aiden’s decision. Was he unaware of who Aiden was? A titan at the helm of two major corporations was not to be underestimated. Challenging him was a direct invitation to disaster.

“Maxwell, offloading your shares at double the market value represents no loss for you.” Colson clapped Maxwell on the shoulder and signaled to two security guards. At his cue, the guards advanced to escort Maxwell from the room. Henceforth, the meeting would include one fewer shareholder.

This action wasn’t just about getting rid of Maxwell; it was a message to everyone else. It sent a clear signal that challenging Aiden would have consequences, putting an end to any thoughts of defiance.
