Chapter 1836
"Grandpa, you're the best at weighing pros and cons. I've laid out everything here. You should consider carefully before making a choice."
As he finished his sentence, Ryan slowly stood up and put out his cigarette directly on the conference table.
"Wait!" Logan suddenly called out to stop Ryan, his voice trembling as he spoke. "Okay... I agree to your terms!"
"Dad! I've contributed so much to the Hoffman Group. How can you do this to me just to get yourself out of trouble?!" Liam's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in his agitation. "Enough! Stop flattering yourself!"
Logan shouted angrily, "Both you and I know who truly contributed to the Hoffman Group. It was Finn, Ryan's father and your elder brother! Even without all this, I would've eventually kicked you out of the Hoffman Group! Do you think I'm unaware of your shady dealings behind the scenes? I just turned a blind eye to them because I couldn't be bothered to deal with you!
"Today, I'll take this opportunity to rid myself of you. You don't have to come to the office from tomorrow onward. You can stop attending the board meetings and shareholder meetings too. Everything to do with the Hoffman Group is now irrelevant to you."
The old man certainly knew how to find a way out for himself.
"You're abandoning me after you've achieved your goals!" Liam stomped his foot in frustration. He looked like a foolish child throwing a tantrum in front of his father, despite his age.
It seemed he was truly desperate.
Logan roared, "Get out! Get out of here right now!"
Knowing that continuing to cause a scene would be pointless, Liam could only glare fiercely at Ryan's expressionless face before storming out like a defeated dog.
"When will you issue the notice of Liam's dismissal?" Ryan asked indifferently.
"Within this week..."
Upon hearing this, Ryan's eyes narrowed dangerously.
Logan immediately corrected himself, "I'll do it tomorrow morning!"
"Good. I'll await your good news."
Ryan turned and walked away, with Dean following close behind.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
"Ryan, I've watched you grow up. In the entire Hoffman family, no one knows you better than I do, not even your mother!"
Logan's hoarse voice came from
behind. "You're not suitable for that
girl from the Salvador family. In terms of family background or personality, you two are simply not compatible! That girl is too meek and timid. She can't manage the Hoffman family, let alone control
you. Without a strong wife tool
keep
you in check and help you manage the Hoffman Group, you'll have it tough in the future. Eventually, reality will wear your so-called love away!"
Ryan paused but did not turn around. "I'll only love who I choose, and I'll choose who to love. As for your concerns, they're unnecessary. My shoulders are strong enough to bear everything. All Carrie needs to do is hold my hand. That'll be enough."
Meanwhile, at the KS Group's headquarters, Bella sat in her office, having spent the entire afternoon reviewing documents.
After finishing the last one, she let out a sigh and stretched lazily, easing her muscles.
Just then, her phone rang. It was Axel calling.
"Ax, I thought you forgot about your little sister now that you're dating Roza. What made you think of calling me now?" Bella asked lazily, sprawled out on the sofa. "Bella, I need to ask you something." Axel paused before continuing in a low voice, "Did Carrie and Ryan break up?"
Bella's eyes widened slightly. "Why are you asking that out of the blue? How did you know?"
"They really broke up?!" Astonished, Axel sighed. "It seems that the incident hit them hard."
"Ax, stop beating around the bush. Just say what you want to say."
"This morning, attended the wedding of the Chief Prosecutor's youngest son. It was quite an event. Even Mayor Solloway and his wife were there. That was when I heard Mayor Solloway mention that his son is getting engaged to Carrie Salvador."
"What?!"
Bella shot up from the sofa like a fish leaping out of water, her eyes wide open. "Who?! Who's getting engaged to Carrie? Mayor Solloway's son?" Just then, there was a knock on the door. With a grim expression, Steven quickly made his way inside.
"Ms. Bella, there's something I need to report to you."
