Henry returned to his office with the thinking that Mr.Johnston Sr.could no longer speak for Jared.
"Castor, spread the news about your grandpa's accident right away.The sooner, the better."
Henry wanted to teach Jared a lesson for being arrogant all this time.He then called all the directors of
the company.
The next day, Jared was on his way to the company when Max sent him the news of Mr.Johnston Sr"s
accident.
[Johnston Group's chairman died in an accident.] Jared stared at the headline on his phone.
Just then, acall came in, and it was Henry.
"How long before you arrive at the company? The board members have something to discuss with
you."
Henry sounded excited on the phone.
Jared seemed to have guessed what was going on.
"Max, drive faster."
"Yes, Mr.Johnston."
Max sped up the car at once and soon arrived and stopped in front of the Johnston Group building.
Jared strode ahead toward the conference room.He came to the front of the conference table and sat
down, his eyes scanning everyone at the table, where no one dared to meet his gaze.
Henry saw everyone lowering their heads, and he took the lead by saying, "Jared, all the board
members are here today because they are concerned about Mr.Johnston Sr"s condition.You were the
last to leave yesterday.So why don't you tell everyone?"
Jared swept a glance at Henry, who was speaking, and then looked at everyone else.
"On behalf of the chairman, I would like to thank you for your concern.You should have seen the news
today.I assume you are all here today not only because of the news but also because you were
compelled to come."
Speaking of this, Jared glanced at Henry.
"The news is not true.The chairman's condition has been effectively controlled, now placed under
observation, so you don't need to be overly nervous," Jared said pointedly.
Hearing what Jared said, Henry was instantly wide-eyed.
‘That is impossible.I clearly saw Dad was about to breathe his last yesterday.No way he would get
well.What happened?' He sat in his chair, thinking, and did not hear Jared talking to him.
"Henry, what are you thinking about?" Jared called his name.
Henry now came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly.
"Nothing.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмThis is just clickbait to get attention.I will deal with them good and proper."
"Since you have said so, I will leave the matter to you."
Jared took this opportunity to pass on the PR damage control task to Henry.
The chickens had come home to roost for him.
"Jared, we are sorry to hear about the unfortunate incident, and we are relieved to hear that the
chairman is fine.But someone must carry out the chairman's duty in his absenceSo perhaps we should
first appoint an acting chairman to carry out the chairman's duty and ensure the company can run
smoothly until the chairman fully recovers and can preside over the board of directors again."
A director, a senior-aged man, proposed.
As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room was abuzz with discussion, and voices of
agreement abounded.
Jared looked at the people in the conference room and knew that Henry was determined to win this
time.
"What is everyone's opinion?" Jared asked.
"I agree with Mr.Holden's suggestion.After all, the board of directors can't function without someone
presiding over it."
Mr.Pearce looked at Jared and said calmly.
"Yes.I also agree with Mr.Holden.The board can't function well without someone presiding over it."
