The threat was self-evident, and it frightened a shareholder who was about to raise his hand so much that he dared not raise his hand anymore.
It was because Vincent was holding a bunch of photos in his hand, and they were all of their family members.
If they choose me, their families’ lives will be in danger.
"I'm sorry, Eleanor. We were forced into this situation. Please understand us."
I understand. I really understand their difficulties, so I won’t be angry.
"You're smart. In that case, you, Eleanor, will have nothing to do with the Kingston family from now on."
"So, are you going to walk out on your own? Or should I order someone to come in and carry you out?"
I sneered. Every bit of this place is almost the kingdom that I, Eleanor, built with my life.
How could I possibly leave this place and hand it over to others?
I pulled out a chair and sat down, lighting a cigarette.
"What if I don't leave? What can you do to me?"
Scarlett's lackey slammed the table and stood up.
"Who do you think you are? Do you still think you're the Eleanor who used to call the shots? Your time is over."
"What can I do to you? Then let your men come in, break your legs with their own hands, and then lift you up and throw you out."
The lackey's words represented Scarlett's words, and she smiled and acquiesced.
Then, several familiar-looking people rushed into the conference room. They were my trusted confidants who I had trained.
Scarlett actually bribed them to use this trick on me, which is the most bloodless punishment.
"You have also learned to rebel?"
"Yes, people die for money and birds die for food. This is the principle you taught me, sir."
"Hahaha, I never thought that the soldiers I trained with my own hands, the men I raised with my money, would eventually turn into swords and stab me."
Scarlett raised her hand and tapped the tabletop rhythmically, a smile on her face.
With my confidant dealing with me, everyone stopped panicking and became bolder.
"Eleanor, I've been dissatisfied with you for a long time. Who do you think you are? You always think you are the emperor and tell us what to do."
"You are doomed now. God has mercy on you!"
"It's no use sitting there calmly. What? Are you still going to pretend to be cool?"
It turns out that this group of people are really fence-sitters, they will support whoever is in power.
But, without me, how could they be where they are today?
