Several people who were close to me on a normal day also chose to distance themselves from me.
Was this the quality of the Rose Family?
At that time, it seems that three years was too fast for the Rose Family to grow to its current size.
Seeing that I had enemies everywhere, Sergio’s face was broken with laughter and mocked, “Mr. Winod, do you even hear yourself?
“In all of San Francisco, the Rose Group stands at the very top. And you—just a lowly son-in-law—think you can bring down the entire Rose Family?
“What a laughable fantasy!”
I smiled and looked at him calmly as I challenged, “What if what I'm saying is true?”
Sergio raised his eyebrows with a look of contempt and did not take what I said seriously at all.
“Sir, even Miss Rose doesn't want you anymore, how can you still be so arrogant in front of the shareholders?”
I shook my head slightly, trying hard not to laugh out loud as I responded, “Sergio, I'm different from you. I work hard and never rely on women.”
Before I could finish my words, the place exploded.
“You stinking loser, who do you think you are? How dare you threaten our shareholders?”
“That's right, people who don't know you would think you're so awesome, but you're just a useless gigolo.”
“If you don't apologize to everyone today, don't even think about leaving the Rose Family alive!”
They were talking and mocking me at the same time and they seemed very excited.
Being a good businessman, keen insight was a basic skill.
The moment I stepped through the door, I could sense the undercurrent. Shareholders and assistants exchanging glances, whispering suggestively, deliberately fanning the flames of scandal between Amanda and me.
It was obvious. They had orchestrated this together well in advance.
Their real goal today was not about right or wrong, it was to drive me out of the Rose Family, replace me with Sergio and carve up the benefits among themselves.
It was a pity that the new chairman of the Rose Group was still in the dark and had no idea that her company was in crisis.
Even I, the boss behind the scenes, could not stand watching this scene.
“If I'm not mistaken, you guys should know Sergio, right?”
As soon as I finished speaking, someone in the crowd immediately confessed.
“What the hell are you talking about, you little bastard? We have nothing to do with Sergio.”
“That's right, we just think you're not worthy of Miss Rose, so we stand up to support him.”
“You're absolutely right. A loser like him who only knows how to live off others must not be allowed to stay in our Rose Family!”
I glanced at them coldly and spoke slowly, “Everyone, I fully understand your eagerness to kick me out of the Rose Family, but…."
Halfway through my speech, I suddenly raised my voice and my expression became much more serious, "I'm the kind of person who responds to kindness, not threats. If you’re willing to get on your knees and beg, who knows, maybe I’ll actually say yes."
My sudden burst of momentum frightened these shareholders and they were afraid to speak.
However, Sergio, who was standing nearby, relied on the chairman's favor and stood up bravely as he barked, “Mr. Winod, I already gave you enough face, didn’t I?
“You’re just a lowly son-in-law in the Rose Family, how dare you lecture the shareholders of our company? Don't you want to live anymore?”
As he spoke, he suddenly turned to look at Amanda beside him, his eyes shining.
“Miss Rose, if you love me, divorce this loser. I promise you that I will do my best to assist you and make the Rose Group flourish.”
