Chapter 309: Chapter 310

“Adam, call Abel and put the call on speaker,” Oscar commanded.

“Yes, Grandad,” Adam nodded hastily.

He was secretly delighted. This time, Adam believed Abel was finished. He took out his phone, turned on the speaker, and began to dial Abel’s number, but…

“Beep, beep, beep!”

The beeping was not exactly a ringing sound. It appeared that Abel’s call would not go through.

Oscar seemed awfully mad and questioned, “What’s going on?”

Adam explained, “Abel seemed to be having too much fun, and we couldn’t reach him.”

Oscar cursed angrily, “Rubbish that is good for nothing!”

Oscar then slammed the military order that Abel had signed onto the table. He declared, “This is a military order personally signed by Abel!”

Oscar furrowed his white eyebrows and stated loudly, “He had embezzled 300 million dollars from the company and caused a crisis in the cash flow. Now several overseas business partners have stopped operating. Our company is facing an unprecedented predicament.

“As per the military order, I now declare that Abel shall leave the group with nothing and resign from the position of Ryker Group’s CEO.”

“Wait a minute!” Rosaline exclaimed.

Rosaline had rushed to the office from the tea room. She was able to arrive at the conference room’s entrance on time. She panted heavily and pleaded, “Dad, wait a minute.”

Adam stood up from the seat and attempted to drive her away. He said, “Auntie Rosaline, Grandad is holding a meeting. Please don’t interrupt us. You should go home.

Rosaline hurriedly explained, “But Abel’s 300 million is in place, he didn’t violate the military order!”

Adam was stunned.

Abel’s 300 million dollars in place? Are you kidding me?

“Auntie Rosaline, I know you’re worried about him, but you can’t talk nonsense here,” Adam sneered mockingly.

“Grandpa is about to announce that Abel will resign as CEO of Ryker Group and leave the company with a clean slate. Just walk away. He’s done.”

Rosaline held up her bank card and stated, “I’m telling the truth. Abel didn’t mess around, he just left the company to raise money. I have the money in my possession. I just received a call from him, and I’m here to return the money to the finance department.”

Adam was speechless.

Damn! She truly meant it!

Oscar was taken aback. He felt a weight lifted from his heart.

I know my grandson. I had personally trained him. Abel wouldn’t disappoint me!

Rosaline said loudly as she entered the conference room, “The 300 million is in place. The military order can be voided.”

A cold voice suddenly came from behind Rosaline, “There’s more! Our overseas business partners had resumed operations. The Ryker Group is in excellent standing!”

Abel’s stout figure was visible at the doorway. He had a commanding presence due to his tall and upright frame. Everyone present in the conference room was shocked!

Oscar also stood up and yelled angrily, “Abel, you have been missing for three days. Where have you been?

Abel replied, “I went abroad to personally investigate the reasons for the suspension of operations with our business partners.”

“Did you discover the cause?” Oscar inquired nervously.

“Yes, I did,” Abel replied with a nod.

“Dark forces threatened them, but I was able to help them get through the crisis. I assured them that the Ryker Group would be there for them no matter what issues they faced.”

“Excellent!” Oscar nodded heavily.

He was reminded of his younger self by Abel’s decisiveness. Oscar was very pleased with his grandson’s performance.

Abel said sternly, “Something is going on within our group internally. Since Grandpa is holding this meeting, I’ll use the occasion to make a personnel announcement.”

Oscar said, “What is it? Say it, I’ll back you up!”

Abel declared in a loud voice, “The order to fire Douglas Gough, the deputy general manager of the finance department, and Pryce Powe, the deputy general manager of the human resources department, is effective right away. Ryker Group would never hire them again!”

Both Deputy General Managers collapsed in their chairs.

“Why?” Oscar was puzzled.

Douglas cried out, “Old chairman, you have to call the shot for me. I’ve worked with you for the better part of my entire life!”

Oscar said, “Abel, I disagree with this!”

Abel raised an eyebrow and disagreed with Oscar. He declared, “I’m the one that gets to call the shots here. I’m the Ryker Group’s top decision-maker!”

Oscar shouted, “Then give me a reason! Why did you fire Doug?”
