Chapter 147 End-of-Year Meeting Holdenâs words made most of the people at the table frown slightly âHolden, it seems that the loss the Kenneth family has suffered over the past week is not enough to make your heart ache Leandro smiled and said, âNo problem! The game is still on!â
Hearing Leandro s words, Holden almost rolled his eyes.
His heart was aching as fuck!
As the head of the Kenneth family, he was receiving a lot of objections from the family If Caspian wasnât there, who knew what would happen?
They insisted on coming to the end-of-year meeting just to tell these companies in Sacramento that the Kenneth family was still strong, and was roping in other companies to help them.
overcome this hardship.
Indeed It was too hard!
Of course, he must not look weak. He smiled and said, âOur family business is big. The loss is nothing but a drop in the bucket.
But your Universe Group? Youâve suffered a great loss. The shareholders of your company must be going crazy right now Leandro chuckled. âOur shareholders trust me very much. They will have no problem even if I fuck up the Universe Groupâ
Holden sneered. He turned to Mason and Gerald, as if he was fed up with quarreling with Leandro, and said, âNow, go to the table at the back immediately. Donât you feel embarrassed sitting here?â
Gerald looked up at him. He smiled and did not say anything.
He couldnât wait to see Holden s expression when Stephen showed up later!
âLetâs go to the back!â Gerald said to Mason.
Leandro got up and said, âYou work for my Universe Group. Naturally, we must stay together Since Mr Kenneth looks down on the Universe Group, I will go to the back with you. Mr. Kenneth will regret it sooner or laterâ
Holden smiled and said, âNo worry!â
At this time, Sterling also stood up and said, âMr. Hanson, New Bank will stay with you.â
Holden was stunned New Bank was very influential. Most companies would not want to be enemies with banks, let alone the darling of the rich like the New Bank However, what was said couldnât be unsaid Holden would not humiliate himself, so he just smiled and said nothing.
âThen Iâll go to the back too!â At this time, Jessica also smiled and looked at Gerald Holden glanced at Jessica. He did not understand why Jessica had to take sides right now He did not think that Universe Group and Goldsun Group had business dealings with each other Was it because of New Bank?
In a moment, a group of people also stood up and walked towards the back!
Many people saw this scene. They did not know what was going on, but they talked about it The group of people went to the back and sat down.
âWhat s going on? New Bank, Universe Groupâs Mr Hanson, and Goldsun Groupâs Ms. Lange, they actually sat in the back.â
âI donât know The Universe Group and the Kenneth family have been battling lately âI heard their quarrel just now It seems to be because of Gerald and Mason Mr. Kenneth said that they are not qualified to sit at the front!â
In the midst of peopleâs talking, the group walked to the back. The man with the gold-rimmed glasses said a few words to Holden with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Holden frowned, looked at Gerald and others, who walked to the back, and nodded.
Immediately after, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses also went to the back!
At the back of the place, Gerald sat down. Daphne sat down beside Gerald and whispered, âDonât mind those peopleâs nonsense. They donât know the truth.â
Gerald smiled and said, âIt doesnât matter Youâll soon see a fun show!â
âWhat do you mean?â Daphne asked with her eyes shining.
âYou will know soon. It will be so good. Gerald licked his lips and then asked, âWho is the man with the gold-rimmed glasses? He seems to have a high position.â
Yes. When Gerald sat down just now, he saw there was fear in Holdenâs eyes when the gold-rimmed glasses guy talked to Holden.
âHe âDaphne pursed her lips and said, âHe is my father. But he and my mother have divorced, and he rarely comes back to see us.â
Gerald was speechless. He looked at the middle-aged man in surprise. At the same time, a voice reached his ear âWhy is Cale Thornton from Washington s Thornton family also walking towards the back?â
âNo way! Is he going to sit at the back too? He is the boss of Kiloud Group!â
When Gerald heard this, his expression changed slightly.
The Thornton family, the richest family in the country, was also one of the top families in the country No wonder Holden was so polite to Cale Since Holden had even invited Cale here, he probably wanted to talk about cooperation with Cale Gerald did not expect that Daphne and Jessica would actually have relations with the Thornton family No wonder Jessica did not take the Kenneth familyâs threat seriously earlier Cale came to Geraldâs table, smiled at Leandro and others, and then sat down. He said with a smile, âMr Hanson, actually, nobody will win if you compete with the Kenneth family like this.â
âHolden asked you to come over and talk to me?â Leandro asked.
âSort of âCale smiled and said, âI think itâs enough. Youâve also made the Kenneth family suffer a loss. Iâve told Mr Kenneth the same thing before I came here I want you to get along well and make money togetherâ
Leandro narrowed his eyes and glanced at Gerald. Then he asked, âWhat if I donât want to? Are you taking the Kenneth familyâs side?â
Cale pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled. âMaybe. The business world is like a battlefield. Iâve wanted to expand my business to Sacramento, but I left later and gave the Goldsun Group to Jessica.â
âIf you want it, take it back. Itâs not like I want it,â Jessica sneered.
Cale smiled helplessly and said, âBut this time, I feel that it is an opportunity. You two business titans are competing, and I can indeed take advantage of it.â
âSo, youâre standing with the Kenneth family and swallowing our Universe Group?â Leandro sneered and asked, âYou sure you can?â
âThatâs not a nice way to put it. We are friends. Just do me a favor Enough is enough,â Cale said. âOf course, if you want to continue, I may really help Holden a little After all, we used to go to school together. And when I was doing business in Sacramento, the Kenneth family had helped me.
a lot!â
Leandro stretched out his only arm, licked his lips, and said, âI have only one word for you. I will fight the Kenneth family to the death!â
Cale pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses again and smiled, âThen letâs wait and see! But we are businessmen, and itâs all business. So no matter what will happen, I hope that things will not become personal!â
Caleâs words gave Gerald some thoughts.
Obviously, Cale was a cunning old fox He was very diplomatic and took care not to offend anyone Usually, this kind of person was also the most terrifying.
Gerald was somewhat uncertain about his character!
Time passed, and more and more people entered the hall. There were hundreds of people At the front were some of Sacramentoâs big shots. Gerald and his fellows who were sitting at the furthest table in the back were a bit eye-catching. Many people looked at them strangely These entrepreneurs were mingling and talking with each other The main topic was the Kenneth familyâs recent crisis, the Zumthor familyâs crisis a while ago, or the appearance of Gerald and Mason.
However, what they did not know was that what happened to the Kenneth family and Zumthor family was both Geraldâs doing!
At twelve oâclock in the afternoon, Holden walked to the center of the stage. He bowed to everyone and then took the microphone and said, âThank you for coming to the Kenneth familyâs end-of-year meeting. I am honored. In the past year He said a lot of things, all showing off the Kenneth familyâs achievements during the past year. After he talked rubbish for seven or eight minutes, he finally changed the topic, âAnd recently? Because of some reasons, the Kenneth family has encountered a little trouble. Of course, it is just a small trouble. Speaking of this trouble, I want to take the opportunity to announce a few things!
âFirst! The Kenneth family will soon do business together with the Thornton familyâs Kiloud Group in the real estate industry!â
His words caused an uproar in the audience.
âThe Kenneth family is amazing. They are actually able to do business with Kiloud Group. After their partnership is formed, I am afraid that the companies that are messing with the Kenneth family will have to think twice!â
âIâm afraid the Universe Group will have a very tough time!â
When people were talking, many of them looked toward Cale!
Cale smiled and did not say anything.
Some people looked at Leandro. Leandro was sitting there with a calm face Holden smiled and said, âEveryone knows the background of my family If you want to mess with us, you have to make sure you can afford the consequences. Of course, this is our end-of-year meeting. Iâd like to welcome the entrepreneurs and companies in Sacramento to discuss cooperation with the Kenneth family.
Seeing the reaction of the crowd, the people of the Kenneth family sitting at the front breathed a sigh of relief, including Cole. He sneered and turned to look at Gerald in the back row There, Holden sneered and looked at the back row. âBy the way, I have to mention one thing here. That is Mr. Hanson from Universe Group!â
Leandro frowned slightly Holden continued at this time, âMr Hanson, you canât just put anyone into your company!â
Beside Leandro, Gerald frowned slightly Holden continued, âLet me introduce the two people beside Leandro. This gentleman is the one who drugged and raped Bree, the young lady of the Cousy family, nine years ago. He has been in prison for nine years and has just come out Mr. Hansonâs Universe Group has actually recruited such a horrible person. It is so disgraceful!â
