Suddenly, a cold, sharp aura emanated from Kingsleys body.
The two muscular ex special forces men at the front felt suffocated and did not dare take another step toward Kingsley.
Something about this man gave them the terrifying feeling of being stalked by an apex predator.
Edward shouted, what are you waiting for? Get moving! 1 Kingsley raised his hand and commanded, Stop! Since when did mere security guards have the authority to manhandle a corporate director? Everyone froze in confusion, while Edward scoffed.
Corporate director? You must be so scared youve lost your mind.
Marcus shook his head, disappointed at how clueless Kingsley was being.
The Rhodes.
Corporation directors were all powerful figures.
Yet, a mere doctor was claiming he was one too it was too ridiculous.
+10 BONUS Lauren, understanding the situation, smiled.
Michael, youd better not touch Kingsley- because he is, in fact, our corporations director.
Lauren, have you lost your mind too ? Michael mocked.
What makes this nobody qualified to be a Rhodes Corporation director? If you don’t believe me, check the corporate website right now, Lauren replied coldly.
Lauren addressed the executives with conviction You all remember how the corporation successfully acquired that large plot of land in West Ends development zone Edward frowned.
Ms. Rhodes, bringing up irrelevant matters wont help.
Were diswoning how to deal with this man right now.
Its not irrelevant, Lauren snapped That land deal was secured through Mr. Baldwins connections, and in return, the corporation granted him a director position.
The executives exchanged uncertain glances.
If Lauren was telling, the truth, they had to gir to touch a corporate director.
Have you found anything? Michael asked darkly.
His secretary shifted uncomfortably.
Mr. Rhodes… its true
Michael grabbed the laptop to check the corporate website himself, and his expression gr increasingly grim
He owns 1% of the company shares, Michael gritted out.
Now you have nothing to say, do you? Lauren said coolly.
Mr. Baldwin isnt just my daver hes a corporate shareholder, so you have no authority over him.
Marcus was stunned.
Although 1% seemed small in actual money, it amounted to hundreds of millions.
Lauren, you planned this quite thoroughly! Michael seethed.
Michael, when it comes to being underhanded, I’m nowhere near your level, Lauren said with contempt.
Kingsleys 1 % was rightfully his from the beginning -it just hadnt been made public until now.
Remembering Kingsleys earlier dismissive attitude, Michael exploded
So you think just because he got lucky and became a director, I can’t touch him? Michael sneered, I’m not just the CEO I own 15 % of the company.
I can still have him arrested for insulting his superior and major shareholder.
Edward chimed in with a smirk.
I also own more shares than this arrogant kid
Between M Rhodes and me, we have enough power to throw this one percent shareholder in jail for a te days
Michaels lackeys burst into laughter, and they all cheered.
Well done, Mr. Hills you’re a true role model
Kingsley, you should know Mr. Hills reputation in our company.
Hes known for his iron- fisted methods and absolute loyalty to Mr. Rhodes.
Anyone who dares to harm or even whisper about Mr. Rhodes faces serious consequences! The executives continued praising Edward while mocking Kingsley.
Even if he was a director, 1 % ownership was nothing, and they could still easily crush him.
Michael grinned with confidence
Lauren, I warned you before If you just quietly played your role as Vice CEO, no one would bother you. But if you challenge my authority as CEO, I’ll show you who really runs this corporation.
Michael, do you really want to take it this far? Lauren asked icily.
Michaels eyes turned bloodshot as he remembered how Kingsley had humiliated him in the past. No, you’re wrong
This bastard is the one who took things too far, making my life hell.
I wont rest until I see him behind bars! Edward sneered.
The police commissioner is an old friend of mine.
With just one call from me, Donald will make sure to give Director Baldwin special treatment.
Her He emphasized Director Baldwin mockingly, dripping with sarcasm
The executives continued their taunts
Your 1 % shareholding might save your life, but you wont escape punishment entirely! Though Kingsleys director status was confirmed, Michael and Edwards joint attack gave the executives new hope.
They all joined in verbally attacking Kingsley.
Marcus was speechless.
He finally understood that Kingsleys 1 % stake had given him the courage to speak out, but he had severely underestimated Michaels influence as CEO.
Kingsley, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Show us everything youve got, Michael smirked confidently.
Even if they go through legal channels, I wont let you touch Dr. Baldwin, Lauren gritted out
Anyone who dares touch him will lose their hands! Michael replied with disdain, Lauren, stop trying to protect your pretty boy
The laws are beyond our companys rules.
Do you think your influence will change the outcome? Eunice leaned close to Laurens ear anxiously. Miss, you should stop defending Kingsley.
Lauren was annoyed.
Are you also going against me? Eunice quickly waved her hands, saying, No.
I wouldnt dare.
Mrs. Rhodes is watching through the surveillance cameras.
Lauren cursed internally.
She was not afraid of Michael but of Tiana, who currently ran things.
in Jayrodale.
If Tiana saw Kingsley fail this first challenge, the ruthless mother would never give either of them another chance.
Just as Lauren was about to make emergency calls to Marvin and Mark for backup, Kingsley spoke up casually.
Ms. Rhodes, let me ask you something my 1 % shareholding doesnt carry much weight in your familys corporation, right? .
Dr. Baldwin, 1 % of Rhodes Corporation isnt cheap Lauren explained with a bitter smile.
Lauren explained, But according to corporate bylaws, shareholders with higher stakes have more authority and priority than you.
Since Michael is both CEO and has more shares than you, he technically can take legal action.
I see, Kingsley nodded
So if I had more shares than Michael and Mr. Hills, I could overrule them? Thats true, but even if we combined our shares, we still wouldnt match them, Lauren replied.
This is getting complicated maybe we should call Mr. Yates for help
Kingsley appreciated Laurens suggestion but smiled slightly.
No need for that.
If its just about having more shares than these two, I can simply buy more right now.
Laurens beautiful face showed confusion, while Eunice scoffed.
Kingsley, stop pretending
You want to buy more shares ? Michael and Mr. Hills together own 20% percent, which is worth about three billion dollars.
Do you think this is like shopping at a grocery store? Marcus could not stay silent anymore and moved next to Kingsley
Even if you could raise a few million, that would only get you a fraction of 1%.
Even 3 % percent would cost you half a billion dollars! He thought Kingsley would be shocked, but the latter was unfazed.
me Kingsley smiled and replied, Mr. Chapman, 3% wouldnt give me an advantage.
I’ll need at least 30% to overrule their combined 20 %.
Didnt you hear what I just said? Marcus asked desperately.
