Chapter 1591
The First Heir
This damned Philip dared to threaten them like this!
Abominable!
How hateful!
After Philip left, Bernard breathed a sigh of relief and asked his second brother, âMartin, what should
we do now? Weâve really landed ourselves in trouble. I donât think Philip will let it go. Who would have
thought that he actually has a black card from the Swiss Bank? This id simply unbelievable!â
Bernard was very uneasy. How could they deal with Philip, a person who owned a black card from the
Swiss Bank?
It was impossible!
Such a person could make all of them bankrupt and homeless just by lifting his finger.
Martinâs face was very unpleasant. Standing with his hands behind his back, there was a mess of
emotions on his face.
Several members of the board also looked worried and sorrowful at this moment. They looked at Martin
and asked, âMr. Johnston, what should we do now? Weâre stuck in a rut with you now.â
âThatâs right, Mr. Johnston. We withdrew our capital from Beacon after listening to your advice. Now,
we can only rely on you. You mustnât abandon us at this time.â
âMr. Johnston, say something. What on earth should we do? How about talking to the boss behind you
to see if thereâs a way to deal with Philip?â
Several members of the board of directors had very complicated emotions right now.
One wrong move and everything would be ruined.
Since things had reached this point, they had no choice but to tie themselves to Martinâs boat.
âEveryone, donât panic. Things have not reached the point of no return. Iâll take care of it. I just ask all of
you to support me at tomorrowâs shareholders meeting,â
Martin said with a smile as he wiped away the gloom on his face.
Several board members glanced at each other and said, âOkay then, weâll choose to believe in you and
hope that you wonât let us down. Our lives are all in your hands now.â
Martin nodded and said, âUnderstood. Everyone, donât worry too much. Philip only has some money. I
donât even know where he got the money from, so donât panic. Iâll contact the boss behind me and ask
for her opinion.â
The directors nodded and left the room.
Once everyone was gone, Martin breathed a sigh of relief. He sat on the sofa and took a large gulp of
tea before smashing the teacup in his hand to the floor. He shouted coldly, âThat damned Philip dared
to do this to me! I wonât take this lying down!â
On the side, Bernard quickly asked, âMartin, I think Philip is well-prepared this time. Are we really going
to continue with this?â
Martin raised his eyebrows, glared at his third brother, and roared, âWhat else can we do? If we choose
to surrender now, do you think Philip will let both of us go? Weâve already done this and thereâs no
retreat. Put away all family affection. Maybe in the eyes of others, weâre nothing!â
Bernard nodded and said nothing.
After a while, Martin said, âTomorrowâs shareholders meeting is very important. We must get the
majority of votes. Now that these directors are on our side, we donât have to worry about anything. The
others are easy to deal with. Weâll just give them some benefits. Philip has a lot of money, right? I want
to see what heâll do if we all withdraw our capital in tomorrowâs shareholders meeting.â
When Bernard heard this, he understood immediately and said with a smile, âMartin, are you thinking of
poaching all the people from Beacon?â
Martin nodded, cold intent appearing at the corner of his eyes as he said, âThatâs right. I want to see
what Philip is going to do when thereâs no one in Beacon!â
When Philip returned to First Palace, his face grew more and more unpleasant. He said to Theo next to
him, âContact all the shareholders of the company and inquire about their situation. Allow them to
choose. If they choose to stay, I wonât treat them badly. If they want to leave, I wonât stop them. But
give them a warning. Anyone who betrays Beacon at this time will face the consequences!â
Theo received the order, nodded respectfully, and said, âYes, Mr. Clarke, Iâll arrange it right away.â
This night quickly passed as all the parties secretly made their moves.
