Chapter 1220 Hadfield Group’s Board Meeting

Nicholas was currently in his study, working overtime. Soon, Andrew knocked on the door

before entering with Edward Nicholas saw Edward and asked coldly, “Who is it?”

“It was Oliver,” Edward reported truthfully. Nicholas wasn’t surprised, but his face turned

sullen at the namedrop. Oliver! Him again!

“Considering how the fool still has the free time to provoke us constantly, it seems like the

Hadfield Group’s situation isn’t as dire as we thought. If that’s the case, let’s give him

something to do!”

Although his tone was cold, it was filled with fury. Edward looked at the angry president

and quietly marked a plot for Oliver’s grave in his heart.

This man really won’t stop unless he’s dead.

Nicholas didn’t know what Edward was thinking.

Nicholas’ eyes were half-lidded as he recalled something. “Come here.”

He motioned for Edward.

Edward walked over obediently.

Then, Nicholas murmured a few instructions in his ears and said coldly, “Do you

understand?”

“Yes, sir. I’ll get it done now.”

Edward shoved his surprise into a box, nodded, and left to fulfill his orders.

…

The Hadfield Group, who finally had some peace, made the news again.

‘Shocking! The president of the Hadfield Group had been stealing and embezzling public

funds to satisfy his own needs!’

‘Behind Oliver Hadfield’s hedonism is the Hadfield Group, which is in financial crisis.’

‘Hadfield Group’s fake accounts have been exposed!’

The citizens were in an uproar as soon as the news headlines came out.

‘Tsk tsk tsk, I always thought Oliver was wealthy. It turns out he was just embezzling the

public’s funds.’

‘Making fake accounts is illegal. So, it’s over for Oliver and the Hadfield Group now.’

‘It’s for the city’s betterment for companies like these to be shut down sooner.’

Meanwhile, the Hadfield Group’s scandal also caused massive waves in the Southend

business district.

The ones who were the most enraged and bewildered were probably the directors of the

group.

After all, Oliver’s embezzlement undoubtedly harmed their profits.

Therefore, all the directors arrived at Hadfield Group to hold a board meeting that

morning.

Even Oliver’s father, who was semi-retired at home, was summoned.

The meeting was filled with a sea of displeased and infuriated faces.

Oliver’s face didn’t look any better since he had an earful of accusations and insults hurled

at him from the directors when he arrived.

“And here I was, wondering why the shareholders were still getting the same amount of

money, although Hadfield Group seemed to have expanded their business the past two

years. It turns out that there’s a rat among us!”

“Oliver, you’re really something else. You got us all fooled!”

“I demand a thorough investigation of the annual accounts to see the amount of money

you stole from us!”

“Chairman Hadfield, as Oliver’s father, don’t you know anything about what Oliver is

doing? Or were you also complicit?!”

The directors immediately directed their sharp tongues at Francis. It would be the

understatement of the century to say that he was angry.

He didn’t expect Oliver to be this brazen to embezzle the company’s funds and even

tamper with the account books.

Unfortunately, Oliver was still his son at the end of the day. So, even if he was angry, all

he could do was defend him for now.

That was because if Oliver had been sacked from his position, coupled with his semi-

retired status, it would be difficult for the Hadfield Family to have the final say in the

Hadfield Group.

“Everyone, Oliver has grown up amongst us. You all know how he is. I think someone is

pulling the strings behind the news,” he tried to reassure the directors at the table.

Regrettably, those words did not affect the people attending the meeting.

One of them snorted coldly, “That doesn’t matter. People change.”

“There wouldn’t be a scandal if there was no such situation. Chairman Hadfield, you

shouldn’t be speaking in tongues here.”

“We came here today to ask for a thorough investigation of the accounts of the Hadfield

Group over the past few years. We also want to revoke Oliver’s position as president.”

“Hadfield Group has had accidents occurring one after another under Oliver’s poor

management. Now that something like this has happened, it’s better for the company if it

was managed by someone better suited to the position.”

Francis didn’t know how to turn the tides in the face of their unyielding stances.

As for Oliver, he was utterly flummoxed.

He had just solved the situation that those two women caused. Yet, the instant the storm

had settled, another issue had broken out, catching him off guard.
