In other words, you’re useless too
If thats the case, your person doesnt deserve the role.
The position goes to Mr. Chapman
Humiliated, Michaels face turned crimson
His fists clenched so tightly that his nails almost pierced his skin.
Kingsley, you bastard! Everything youve taken from me, I’ll take back tenfold ! Michaels mind roared with fury.
His blood red eyes burned with rage, like those of a feral beast.
Tiana sneered.
Kingsley, youve been incredibly persuasive, talking nonstop like this.
So, how about ending it by singing your own praises now?
Kingsley maintained his composure and said, I wouldnt call it singing my own praises, but if theres merit, then rewards must follow.
Troys leak of the formula, and the Weller familys previous schemes against Rhodes Pharmaceutical if I may say so, I contributed significan’tly to resolving those issues.
Pausing briefly, Kingsley dropped a bombshell, I don’t dare ask for much, but Madam, why not make me the CEO of Rhodes Corporation? The moment those words left his mouth, it wasnt just Michael and his loyal supporters who were stunned- Lauren herself was left speechless.
Kingsley wanted to be the CEO of the corporation? Wasnt that an ambition far too bold? Michaels face twisted in fury
Kingsley, you really have no shame, do you? CEO of Rhodes Corporation? Why not go all the way and just rename the company to Baldwin Corporation while you’re at it? Kingsley replied earnestly, Mr. Rhodes, while that idea is brilliant, it doesnt align with ethical principles.
So I’m afraid I must decline your suggestion
Michael was so furious he almost coughed up blood on the spot.
His remark had been sarcastic, rhetorical a figure of speech
But Kingsley took it literally? How thick skinned could one man be? If nothing else, Mr. Baldwins shamelessness is truly unparalleled.
I bow before his audacity
Theres an old saying: Clear waters have no fish, and the shameless has no equal.
Mr. Baldwins art of shamelessness surpasses even that of the legendary poet! Kingsley, do you even hear yourself? Asking to be CEO of Rhodes Corporation? Do you think thats even remotely possible? No matter how you rank it, itll never be your turn! Executives and veteran employees chimed in with sneers and laughter, mocking Kingsleys seemingly outlandish request.
The idea of Kingsley becoming CEO? It would only happen if the sun rose in the west.
Tianas voice was icy as she spoke, So this is Marvins pawn.
I see the game is unraveling faster than I expected
Unfortunately for you, Mr. Baldwin, the CEO position of Rhodes Corporation is reserved strictly for family members. So don’t even think about it.
What shocked everyone was Kingsleys calm reaction.
Instead of anger, he smiled and said, You’re absolutely right, Mrs. Rhodes
The CEO position is for family members only.
So, since I’m not eligible, Ms. Rhodes is the most suitable choice.
Michael immediately shouted, I object! Kingsley remained unfazed.
Mr. Rhodes, please remember that your position as vice CEO is still in question.
On what grounds are you objecting to this? Michael roared, You- ! Tiana cut in sharply.
Enough! Everyone, shut up.
The CEO position, she declared, will remain with me for now.
There wont be any other appointments.
Kingsley shrugged.
So, Mrs. Rhodes, after all this talk of merit and rewards, you’re telling me theres nothing to Yeward? Even Tianas typically calm demeanor faltered under Kingsleys relentless pressure
Irritated, she snapped, I’d naturally reward those who contribute to the company.
But how I choose to reward them is my business, Mr. US Baldwin.
You have no say in it.
Kingsley countered, I’m not interfering.
Im just asking.
When will you reward the contributions? And with what? Tiana frowned.
Kingsley, thats enough
Ive already given you plenty of what you want.
don’t push your luck.
The other executives exchanged glances, some annoyed but others secretly impressed.
Kingsleys boldness might seem reckless, but to push Tiana his far? That took guts maybe even a stroke of foolish luck.
Kingsley shook his head and chuckled coldly.
At the end of the day, all this talk boils down to one thing : Mrs. Rhodes is only interested in punishments, not rewards.
I see that clearly now.
I’m an outsider, so its fine if Mrs. Rhodes doesnt reward me, Ms. Rhodes hasnt even been promoted in the slightest.
It seems the corruption within Rhodes Corporation is quite thorough, Kingsley said.
Tiana was truly enraged this time.
Kingsley, watch your tongue! Do you even realize that not even Marvin, the man behind you, would dare speak to me like this? Kingsley replied indifferently, If Mrs. Rhodes can do as she pleases, why can’t others speak their minds ? If you want to shut me up, then just go ahead and distribute the rewards fairly.
Give Ms. Rhodes what she deserves without delay.
Tiana, clearly exasperated, gritted her teeth.
Lauren is my biological daughter.
What shes due, I’ll never withhold from her.
Fine
I’ll satisfy your little scheme
Lauren will be the first priority candidate for the CEO position.
Is that enough for you now? Kingsley smiled.
Mrs. Rhodes is fair and just, as expected from the matriarch of Rhodes Corporation.
Im impressed.
Tiana snorted coldly
This little troublemaker actually claimed to admire her? What nonsense.
It was nothing but an act of smooth talking! Michaels face turned pale
Aunt Tiana, what about me? You can’t be biased! At the very least, it should be fair competition between Lauren and me.
How can you give her priority? Tiana snapped in frustration.
Enough! don’t you think youve embarrassed yourself enough already? Not demoting you to a department manager is already my greatest mercy.
Michael dared not push further.
His face was ashen, his fists clenched tightly, and he looked as though he was about to collapse.
The executives who had sided with Michael were also devastated, sighing heavily.
If they had known this would happen, they wouldnt have thrown their support behind Michael so quickly. Now it was clear.
With Lauren having Kingsley as her formidable ally, even if Michael had the numbers and controlled more than half of the corporations departments it wasnt enough to win.
Kingsley Baldwin … What a troublesome figure to deal with! At this moment, Tiana let out a cold laugh. Marvin taught you how to be sharp tongued and relentless when you’re on top
But it seems he never taught you the importance of knowing your limits, understanding reason, and knowing when to advance or retreat.
Thats how you survive longer
Her face was full of contempt as she looked at Kingsley, her expression mocking
It was the look of someone in a position of power, gazing down at someone she considered a mere nuisance
She stepped closer to Kingsley, sneering.
Do you think that as a nobody, stirring up trouble and giving orders within Rhodes Corporation, youve achieved something great? Kingsley shrugged.
Honestly? Its not bad at all.
Tianas face turned icy as her tone grew colder.
Your smooth talk proves nothing.
All it shows is that you’re a petty man with a little wit, trying to act clever.
Once a small man gains power, he seizes on others mistakes relentlessly.
Meanwhile, his own abilities are hardly worth mentioning.
