A Replacement Bride

has become! Although it's still the top company in Hovington, it's living off the previous profits we

earned! Do you know how much money the Levisay Group has lost over the years and how corrupt it

has become? Look at the documents in your hands; you may not be familiar with everything written

there, but you certainly should be with the more significant matters! You even consented to it! Don't you

have a guilty conscience after doing such things? Do you think you can still face Old Mr. Levisay in the

underworld after you die?"

John was enraged by Arlo's words, and he barked at him, "Arlo North!" Afterward, he slammed his

hand so hard on the table that the sound reverberated throughout the room. Then, with a more high-

pitched voice, he questioned, "Who do you think you are to accuse me of such things?"

On the other hand, Arlo wasn't afraid of him. "My words are insignificant, and my status isn't as great

as the others, but I vowed to protect the foundation Old Mr. Levisay worked so hard to build!"

At that moment, a raspy but deep voice sounded inside the conference room. "Indeed, Arlo doesn't

have a high status, but… I do have the right to speak up, don't I?"

Once that was said, everyone looked at the person speaking and took a sharp breath. The one who

spoke was the stern-looking Donovan Gallant. Even though he was a middle-aged man with wrinkles

on his face, his domineering personality remained as overbearing as it had been for years. His hawk-

like gaze swept across the faces of everyone in the room before finally landing on John's shocked face.

Then, Donovan calmly stood up.

In the meantime, John was obviously in a state of disbelief. "Donovan, you—"

Before he could ask, Donovan cut him off. "John, are you done wrecking Levisay Group? When are

you going to stop? After Levisay Group is completely destroyed and goes bankrupt?"

After hearing those words, John was stunned until he finally realized what was up. "So, it was you. It's

you!" He said it twice, and his tone changed from shock to anger. "Donovan, you were the one I trusted

the most when I became the president! In the end, you're the one who took the lead in betraying me!

All of these people must have gotten orders from you. That's why they dare to do such a thing!"

After that, Donovan glanced at John unhurriedly. "Don't give me so much credit. They chose to go

against you not because they listen to me but because they're unsatisfied with how you run things.

Most of them are seniors who had worked beside Old Mr. Levisay. Why don't you ask them why they

chose to betray you?" After saying that, he changed topics and smiled. "Come to think of it. They aren't

betraying you because they chose to stay loyal to Levisay Group from the moment they joined. The

real betrayer in this room is you and your group of henchmen. You betrayed the company. That is why

you're not welcome here anymore!"

"That's right." At that moment, Joaquin, observing from the sidelines, came forward and stood beside

Donovan at the front of the conference table. His handsome face didn't show any emotion as he looked

at John like he was a stranger. "The situation when grandpa was in charge is entirely different from

when you were in charge, Mr. Levisay. Your men are too greedy, and you are also full of greed. I'm sure

you know very well how many deficits there are in Levisay Group and that the company will cease to

exist if we don't fill in those deficits."

"You—" Suddenly, John was so furious that he felt like exploding. He couldn't form a complete

sentence and kept repeating the word "you."

Without giving him any time to take a breath, Joaquin questioned, "So, what's your decision, Mr.

Levisay? How are you going to deal with these documents?"

While gnashing his teeth, John stared at the files before him and realized he was already a tied-up

criminal with no chance of escaping. He finally spoke up after a long silence and asked unwillingly,

"What do you want?"

Seeing how John was reacting, Joaquin smiled as his eyes were filled with mockery. "It seems like

you're quite sensible and decided not to go head-to-head with us."

John heard the mockery in Joaquin's voice and became even more furious. "Head-to-head? What's the

use of that?" He knew there was no opportunity for a turnaround when these documents had fallen into

Joaquin's hands. Once Joaquin turned over these documents to the police and had them investigated,

it would implicate many of Levisay Group's shareholders, all of whom were his men. Also, he knew that

Joaquin must have leverage over him but wanted to use it as a trump card but didn't reveal it. As he

had anticipated, no one in the world was more cunning and devious than his son. "Say it. What do you

want?" He asked impatiently.

With a raised eyebrow, Joaquin didn't beat around the bush. He looked at the crowd and announced,

"From today onward, Mr. Levisay shall become Levisay Group's chairman. He will no longer participate

in any matters at the company."

When that was said, some people in the room immediately lost their cool.

"No way! If Mr. Levisay becomes the chairman and no longer participates in any matters at Levisay

Group, who will be in charge of this large cooperation? Are you going to keep this position vacant?"

"That's right, or would you want to take that position? Joaquin, you don't even know how to run a

company. How can you take up the position of company president?"
