Chapter 4

Ten minutes later, Kimberly returned to her room.

Just as she locked the door, she saw me behind the door in surprised. "You ...."

She almost screamed and I covered her mouth.

I squinted at her and asked, "You want me to die? Revenge? Tell me more, do you have a grudge against me?"

Hearing what I said, Kimberly was so shocked that she was speechless.

However, she was clever, she had guessed that there were surveillance cameras in every corner of the house.

"If you want to have a good talk, just blink your eyes," I said with a smile.

She blinked. Wow, these big, pure and watery eyes look so beautiful when they blinked.

I let her go, walked to the bed and sat down, then patted the bed and said, "Come on, let's talk in detail."

She twitched at the corner of her mouth, but she did not get angry. Instead, she calmly said, "From your reaction, what you just said doesn't seem like a lie, so you really don't know why I wanted to kill you?"

"I have no idea," I said with a nod.

She nodded and said calmly, "That means your dad lied to me. He said that it was you who caused my mom's death."

"My motive for attacking your mom could only be to vent my anger for her, but as you can see, I have no feelings for my parents."

"And you're not my dad's daughter, you don't pose any threat to me."

I smiled and asked, "Then guess who benefited the most from your mom's death?"

"After my dad passed away, most of my family's business was done with your dad's help," she replied.

"Even though the shares of the company are in my hands now, several of the company's main projects are in your dad's hands."

"So that's why he arranged for me to join your company. On the surface, it seemed like he was giving me a chance to take revenge, but in reality, he was also trying to sideline me?"

After her brief analysis, her eyes were full of hatred, but she still said to me, "I will investigate it myself, I can't believe everything you say!"

"Just let me know if you need help anytime."

I reached my goal, got up and left.

What a joke, how could my dad, a man who only did things for the sake of profit, dare to take the risk of getting hit by me to bring Kimberly home?

There must be a profit in it.

The next day.

I arrived at the company early and half an hour later, the board of directors came one after another.

They asked me how I had been doing in the past six months and I just answered them casually.

Since everyone was gathered, the board of directors's meeting had officially begun.

"In the second half of the year, I plan to launch several projects for the company."

I got straight to the point.

But at this moment, Garvin Agler, who had always been at loggerheads with me, said, "Lucian, you are the chairman, but you are rarely in the company. This is irresponsible to the company and to our shareholders."

Oliver Winston agreed and said, "Yes, Lucian. If this continue to happen, the company will be in trouble in your hands. Why don't you resign and let your father manage it for you?"

"Those who agree raise their hands," Garvin said as he raised his hand.

It seemed that it was a planned meeting to dismiss me as the chairman.

Oliver also raised his hand and the other directors who were on good terms with them also raised their hands to vote.

My mother added. "Dear all board of directors, as the mother of Lucian Hartnett, I can responsibly say that he is a super male, cunning, cruel and inhumane. He is not suitable to sit in this position."

Harper cried bitterly and said, "Yesterday I just took the dishes in front of him during dinner and he beat me. How can such a person manage the company well?"

Harry pointed at Kimberly and said, "And as soon as he got home, he immediately targeted Kimberly. If we hadn't stopped him, she might have been ruined. Such a person is simply a criminal. How can we let him manage the company?"

Everyone's gaze was on Kimberly.

It seemed that as long as Kimberly nodded, they would vote to remove me.

The rest of the people, except for those who support me, were just waiting and watching.

At this moment, the door of the meeting room was pushed open.

My parents came in, followed by Harper and Harry, as well as Kimberly.

The swelling on Harper's face should have been better, but it looked even more swollen, like a pig's head.

My father said with some grief, "Lucian, you are really not suitable for this position. Yesterday you beat your brother just because you're unhappy. If you get stronger one day, will you also beat your partner?"
