Chapter 305: Let me formally introduce myself
After the media left, the conference room fell into pin-drop silence. Though no words were spoken, tension clung to the air like smoke.
Subtle glances darted between board members, uneasy and watchful, as though the storm had passed but the debris remained.
Aaron sat stiffly in his chair, jaw clenched tight. His eyes drifted to Vera,noting that her gaze was still glued to Davis unwavering, felt his blood boil, rage rising in his chest. His embers of jealousy stoked into a full blaze.
But with the members of the Board surrounding him, there was no better option than to swallow the bitter pill.
Davis, ever composed, the air around him calm, his face expressionless shifted slightly in his seat.
Then, without looking away, he asked quietly, "Uncle, do you still think I’m just here to oust you from your seat?" His voice is calm but piercing.
Desmond leaned back, taking in a deep, slow breath. He exhaled deliberately before responding, his voice steady.
"I think there is something wrong here, Davis. And it’s high time we correct it." He smiled coldly, but with the confidence of a man who thought he’d already won.
His words caused ripples of unease among the members, some of whom exchanged wary, knowing looks.
"What exactly are we correcting, Uncle?" Davis asked, his smirk deepening. "Isn’t it right that after standing in for someone temporarily, you hand it back when they return?"
He was certain that Desmond wouldn’t step aside easily. In fact, he had anticipated that this uncle of his would have schemes lined up, especially as the one who had orchestrated the meeting.
