Life at The Top novel Chapter 634

After some time, the door to the dimly lit conference room opened.

A man with a tall frame walked over and placed his palm on Conrad’s shoulder. Conrad had stayed in the same position in the conference room for more than ten hours now.

“Dad! It’s you…”

Conrad called out with trembling lips.

“It’s time to go home.”

In the dark, the man’s voice was heard.

“You’re still young. There’s no harm in suffering some setbacks. The finest diamond must be cut.”

“I refuse to accept this.” Conrad clenched his fists.

“It’s right to feel that way. If you refuse to accept this result, then find a chance to strike back.”

“If you keep being so low-spirited, then you don’t deserve to be my, Steven Monty’s, son.”

…

News about what had happened in Skyward Aluminum’s shareholders meeting spread like wildfire.

Southeast Province was in turmoil.

No one had expected Jasper to gain victory with such incredible ease in the shareholders meeting.

Meanwhile, Conrad, whom the people of Southeast Province held in such high regard, had fallen from his throne after this incident.

As it turned out, a genius that only appeared once every half a century was nothing but a load of bullcrap. The glory he basked in back then was also how bad of a fall he had taken this time. Those who jeered at him grew in numbers as well.

The turmoil in the outside world did not stop Jasper from carrying out his original plan.

After the shareholders meeting, the first thing Jasper did was transfer all the shares to Gale.

These assets had fallen into Jasper’s hands as a form of compensation from the Hanks for breaching the contract.

“Sure enough, robbing is the best way to get rich fast.”

Dawson was in such a good mood that he joked with Jasper.

Jasper said with a smile, “Actually, the Hanks are much more capable than this, but their family members have taken away all that could be taken away when they escaped. Also, my guess is that they’ve robbed their own hidden reserves.”

Dawson said, “This explains exactly why I dislike family-run management. Even if they’re related by blood, there will be rotten apples when there are too many people. Rotten apples like that, even if just one or two, are enough to turn the entire family bad in a short period of time.”

“What we need to do next is exercise caution,” Jasper said.

Dawson nodded to agree and then said with a frown, “I just received news that Steven Monty will be reappointed as the chairman of Monty Enterprise’s board of directors after nearly ten years of retirement. This shows that he’s planning to intervene to handle the repercussions that this storm has brought.”

“They’re not going to let this drop so easily.” Jasper massaged his temples, and Conrad’s face popped up in his mind.
