The shift in his expression sent chills through the boardroom , making everyone uneasy .
He stated coldly , Since my shares now exceed both the CEOs and Mr.
Hills , doesnt that give me the greatest authority and priority in todays lunch meeting ? Michaels face twitched .
In principle , yes , thats correct .
Edward was not having it , his face contorted with anger .
Kid , I didnt expect you to pull something like this .
But five billion in funding you must have misappropriated it from somewhere .
With your position and background , even if your family saved for generations , they couldnt come up with that kind of astronomical sum .
Many heads nodded in agreement around the table .
Edwards logic seemed sound , as instantly injecting fifty billion dollars to become the fifth major shareholder was suspicious .
However , Andrew could not care less about their suspicions .
He slowly walked over to Michael , his footsteps echoing in the tense silence .
Michael flinched .
Mr.
Lloyd , what are you doing ? Relax , Andrew replied blankly .
Youre the CEO of the group , and Im just a board member .
What could I possibly do to you ? Im simply exercising my rights as the groups fifth major shareholder .
! Edward shouted angrily , Mr.
Lloyd , get back to your seat ! You might have lucked into becoming the fifth director , but you still need to follow basic protocols .
Andrew nodded calmly .
Youre right basic protocols must be followed .
He paused before saying , So when a minor shareholder like yourself shouts at me , the fifth director , arent you overstepping your bounds ? Edward froze , his lips moving to deliver an angry retort before catching himself .
He mocked , Well , well , Mr.
Lloyd .
Youre showing your true colors on your first day .
Id love to see what you plan to do about it .
He leaned back in his chair with contempt .
As a founding member who had built the company alongside Laurens father , he did not view this new shareholder as a threat .
Meanwhile , Lauren , Marcus , and Eunice watched Andrew with confusion , wondering what his next move would be .
Mr.
Hills , you were quite bold earlier , threatening to have me arrested and even making me disappear from this world , right ? Andrew asked with a deceptively pleasant smile .
Edward lifted his chin haughtily .
So what if I did ? Though now that youve shown your deep pockets and become a major shareholder , I suppose I cant touch you anymore .
Chapter 428 +25 BONUS Andrew nodded .
Im glad you understand that , Mr.
Hills .
Now its time for me to settle the score .
Mr.
Lloyd , thats enough , Edward scoffed .
Ive been plenty patient with you .
Settling scores ? Arent you being childish ? Andrew shook his head .
Not at all .
Without warning , he delivered a powerful slap across Edwards plump face .
The impact was explosive .
Edwards 200 pound frame , along with his chair , went flying across the room .
The chair shattered against the wall , while Edward let out a painful groan before his eyes rolled back , and he passed out .
The boardroom fell into a deathly silence .
