Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

Chapter 2167

Never in their wildest imagination had they expected the rumored Mr. Bright to be Roland this entire time! He was the mastermind behind the scenes since the very beginning!

They were entirely appalled, thrown off, and befuddled by this monstrous revelation.

Roland was only in his late twenties. He was several years younger than Decker.

How was it that someone as young as him possessed such wealth and talent in business?!

After an extended silence, one of the older shareholders, who was known for having a remarkably cordial relationship with Roland, asked in a careful tone, "President Roland, were you Mr. Bright this entire time?"

Roland confirmed their suspicions, "Yes."

After a pause, he directed his calm gaze to Master Rockwell and Decker, both of whom were hardly in control of their wits at this point. "Master Rockwell, President Decker, are we going to finalize our contract as we agreed?"

He had come here today not only to reveal his true identity but also to finalize the contract that would grant him half of Decker's shares in Rockwell Corporation.

Master Rockwell suddenly felt weak in the knees and nearly stumbled over. Fortunately, one of the shareholders held him steady.

He had barely regained his balance when he jabbed his crutch in the direction of Roland, his hands trembling all the while. "You... What a presumptuous brat!"

Roland already owned 10% of the shares in Rockwell Corporation. If he was taking half of Decker's shares which came to 40%, it would effectively legitimize him as the majority shareholder of Rockwell Corporation with 50% of its shares. With that, he would fundamentally have control over the corporation.

His intentions could not be any clearer than that. He wanted to take Rockwell Corporation from Decker!

What further infuriated Master Rockwell was the fact that his grandson, who he had slighted the entire time, who he had tried to have banished from the family, had been Mr. Bright the entire time! The legendary figure who was greatly revered in the industry was his own grandson since the very beginning!

Decker's had grown unimaginably sullen by this point. He shot a vehement glare at Roland and pushed out the hateful words between gnashed teeth, ‘Roland, you're a lot more cunning than | thought you were. You b*stard, don't you dare think about taking my shares in the corporation!"

So long as he refused to sign and finalize the contract, Roland's plans would never come to fruition!

Roland barely acknowledged Master Rockwell who looked like he was on the verge of a mental breakdown. He regarded Decker with complete indifference and spoke in a harsh, dispassionate voice that only added to its oppressive tone, "Are you not going to sign the contract as previously agreed, President Decker?"

As Decker clenched his fists tightly, his words were suddenly caught in his throat. This was because he had suddenly recalled the terms of the agreement he had signed with Roland's lawyer previously.

The terms were rather cut and dry: so long as Mr. Bright was able to fulfill his end of the deal and save Rockwell Corporation from bankruptcy, Decker Rockwell would transfer half of his shares in the corporation to him within three days. If not, he would have to repay double the amount of funds Mr. Bright had injected into Rockwell Corporation within a matter of three days.

Rockwell Corporation had only just been steered into financial stability, it had no significant capital to speak of at the moment. Forget about paying back double the amount that Mr. Bright paid, he could barely afford to pay back a tenth of the amount!

That was unless he mortgaged Rockwell Corporation to him.

In which case, he would have completely yielded over Rockwell Corporation to him without putting up a fight! Decker was livid with rage when he considered this factor.

The atmosphere in the room was tense until at one point, Master Rockwell, who had to be held steady by someone else, sighed tiredly and gave in. "Decker, sign the contract."

This was checkmate. Roland’s plans were impeccable and they had no choice but to yield.

Decker had no choice but to relent as well. He clenched his jaw so hard that his teeth could crack. "Alright."Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He turned around and sat at the table where the contract papers were laid out neatly.

Clarice and his lawyer joined him at the table.

Master Rockwell cast a troubled look at Roland, then he had a shareholder walk him to the table to join Decker.

Roland was not in any rush at all. He turned to Isabel, who stuck by his side the entire time, and motioned, "Come, let's go inside."

Isabel smiled and offered her hand. "Sure."

Roland took her hand and led her into the room with him.

Upon seeing this, the face of Decker, who already wore a look of defeat, somehow darkened by yet another shade. Master Rockwell's eyes sank into their sockets and darkened yet again.

Roland barely looked at them as he led Isabel to the table, and they assumed their seats directly opposite Decker.

There were three copies of the contract, each of which was promptly signed by the parties and verified by the lawyers, so it did not take long at all.

Roland put down his pen and prepared to leave.

That was when Decker suddenly said with a contemptuous sneer, "Roland, don't get too excited to celebrate just yet. | was the one who chased you out back then, so watch your back because | will do the same thing to you again!"

Roland was not intimidated at all. He mocked him without pulling any punches, "In your dreams, perhaps." Decker grew red.

"Pfft..." Isabel could barely stifle a laugh upon witnessing this interaction.
