Chapter 181: Secrets
The three of them sat frozen, tension thick in the air as Harry’s voice cut through the silence. He held their eyes, one by one, before finally speaking.
"I had a conversation earlier... with someone unexpected," Harry began, his tone low and resolute. "A man named Mr. Takahito Saimori."
Greg’s brows furrowed. "Saimori? Isn’t he our client from Japan? The CEO of Fujimoko Industries?"
Harry gave a slow nod. "Yes. But there’s more. He told me he’s here in the country because Duncan Veston personally invited him—urged him—to reinvest in CorEx. Said he was one of the original shareholders back when the company had a different name."
Cammy leaned forward, eyes narrowing. "Wait. Different name? What do you mean? CorEx has always been CorEx."
"I thought the same," Harry replied. "But Saimori claims otherwise. He said the company was originally called Veston-Watson Logistics. That is, before Jonas Veston was... removed."
A heavy silence fell.
"Removed?" Greg echoed. "You mean—"
"Thrown out," Harry confirmed grimly. "According to Saimori, Jonas Veston was stripped of everything—his position, his shares, even his legacy. Then CorEx rose from the ashes, quietly assuming all the assets of Veston-Watson Logistics: buildings, people, resources.
They gave original shareholders a choice—stay, or cash out. Saimori chose the latter and used the money to start Fujimoko."
Cammy looked stunned. "But... the founding date of CorEx is older than me. That doesn’t make sense."
