All the board members had their opinion about what Clarence said, but they didnât dare to voice out.
People only got to know about Justin recently. Plus, he didnât seem fit to be the director of Conrad Group, considering his health condition.
The board members werenât doubting Justinâs capabilities, but they didnât want to put Conrad Group at risk.
After a while, one of the board members voiced out, âMr. Conrad, Mr. Justin had never been involved in any of our projects before. It didnât seem reasonable to put him in the position for now.â
âNathan and the assistants will spare no efforts to assist him.â
âBut...â
The door of the meeting room was pushed open before any of the board members could say anything else.
Justin was sitting in the wheelchair and got pushed into the meeting room.
Nathan walked to Clarence and stood beside him, âMr. Conrad.â
Clarence nodded and stared in front.
Justin wore a warm smile, âLong time no see, Clarence.â
Clarence stood up and pushed Justinâs wheelchair next to his seat.
None of the board members dared to speak.
Justin asked, âClarence, can I speak with you privately?â
Clarence replied, âWait till this end.â
âCla...â
âDid Nathan tell you about it?â
Justin sighed, âYes, but I didnât think itâs a wise decision.â
Clarence said, âMany people thought it wasnât a wise choice when I first stepped on this position.â
Clarence took the documents on the desk and put down them in front of Justin one by one.
âThis is the Company Equity Transfer Agreement.â
âThis is the Financial and Capital Turnover Report of the company in these ten years.â
âThis is the companyâs development plan for the next two quarters.â
âThese are the ongoing projects.â
âNathan is going to explain the other documents to you after the board meeting.â
The atmosphere of the meeting room got gloomier as Clarence spoke. In the end, Clarence was the only one talking in the meeting room.
Clarence looked up as he put down the last document file. He glanced at everyone in the room, âAlright, Iâm no longer the director of Conrad Group from this second onwards, and I will never step foot in the company ever again. Best of luck to you all.â
Then, Clarence turned and left without hesitation.
Justin stopped Clarence when he was about to walk out of the room, âClarence.â
Clarence didnât turn around. Instead, he told Justin directly, âIâll wait for you in the office.â
Soon, Clarence walked out of everyoneâs sight.
Justin looked around the meeting room and said, âHello, fellow board members. Iâm very new to managing a company. I would appreciate it if you could help me out in itâ
âAh, Young Master Justin. Itâd be our pleasure.â
âYes, yes. Weâll definitely help you out if you need us.â
The board meeting ended after the socializing session.
There was nothing Clarence wanted to take away other than a photo frame.
Clarence stood in front of the window and looked outside. He seemed expressionless. No one knew what he was thinking based on his expression.
After a while, Justinâs voice rose from behind, âClarence.â
Clarence turned around. He walked toward the couch and sat down, âHowâs life in Canada?â
âItâs fine for me, but father hadnât gotten used to the weather there. He had rashes all over his body, but heâs getting better.â
Clarence said, âItâs not easy to get used to another place when heâs been staying in City N for so many years.â
Justin said, âItâs good that we came back. The doctor said itâd be better for his health when heâs at a place he felt familiar. It seemed like I made a bad choice back then.â
Clarence smiled, âBad choice or not. Youâll only know it after you made it.â
âWhat are you going to do next?â
âIâll travel around with Stella and propose to her at the right time. Iâm planning for a wedding before year-end.â
Justine smiled relaxingly, âYou guys stick together after all these years and after everything you guys have been through. Let me know whenâs the date for your wedding reception. Iâll be there to witness it.â
Clarence looked at Justin, and he seemed cold, âI donât think so.â
Justinâs smile froze, âClarence, you...â
âIâve told you this when Joanna died. Weâre even now. Iâm giving back the Conrad Group, and that should be the end of everything.â
âI donât understand what you mean.â
âIt doesnât matter if you understand or not. I will not dig further into what happened in the past, and I wonât look into the plots and conspiracies. All I wanted for the rest of my life is to live without all these events. I want my wife to stay beside me, and my son to grow up healthily.â
Justin paused and forced a smile, âWhat do you think I did?â
âI donât think you did anything, but we should know what Joanna meant before she passed away.â
âClarence, sheâs dead. You...â
âYes, sheâs dead, but these kinds of stuff would never end,â Clarence replied calmly, âWhich is why I hope that we could put this to an end today.â
Justin frowned and remained silent.
Clarence continued, âYouâre the reason Joanna did what she did.â
Justin sighed, âI know what you meant now. Donât worry. Iâll find those people. Iâll deal with whatever she had left behind.â
Clarence stood up and took the photo frame with him, âThe Conrad Group is in your hand now.â
âClarence, do you still see me as your big brother?â
Clarence stopped, but he didnât turn around.
He replied, âYouâll always be my big brother if you still think of me as your little brother.â
Then, Clarence left the office.
Justin got himself together and moved his wheelchair to the window.
What a strategic location the Conrad Group was located. Justin could oversee the whole city from the office.
After a while, Nathan knocked on the door and walked into the office. He brought some documents with him, âYoung Master Justin, these needed your approval.â
Justin turned his wheelchair around and looked at Nathan. He smiled warmly at Nathan and said, âYouâve been working with Clarence for quite some time, right? I might need to trouble you pretty often in the future.â
âPlease don't say that, Young Master Justin. Itâs my job to assist you,â Nathan paused and continued, âIs there anything you need? If not, Iâll...â
âPlease bring me the Financial Report and the files of the ongoing projects.â
âSure.â
Justin continued, âHowâre the branches doing?â
Nathan replied, âMr. Clarence had asked them to come back and report on their data and statistics before. Iâll go and get you the files now.â
âItâs fine,â Justin said, âGet all the person-in-charge of every branch to come back to Conrad Group for a meeting at three oâclock later.â
