All the board members had their opinion about what Clarence said, but they didn’t dare to voice out.
People only got to know about Justin recently. Plus, he didn’t seem fit to be the director of Conrad Group,
considering his health condition.
The board members weren’t doubting Justin’s capabilities, but they didn’t want to put Conrad Group at risk.
After a while, one of the board members voiced out, “Mr. Conrad, Mr. Justin had never been involved in any of our
projects before. It didn’t seem reasonable to put him in the position for now.”
“Nathan and the assistants will spare no efforts to assist him.”
“But…”
The door of the meeting room was pushed open before any of the board members could say anything else.
Justin was sitting in the wheelchair and got pushed into the meeting room.
Nathan walked to Clarence and stood beside him, “Mr. Conrad.”
Clarence nodded and stared in front.
Justin wore a warm smile, “Long time no see, Clarence.”
Clarence stood up and pushed Justin’s wheelchair next to his seat.
None of the board members dared to speak.
Justin asked, “Clarence, can I speak with you privately?”
Clarence replied, “Wait till this end.”
“Cla…”
“Did Nathan tell you about it?”
Justin sighed, “Yes, but I didn’t think it’s a wise decision.”
Clarence said, “Many people thought it wasn’t a wise choice when I first stepped on this position.”
Clarence took the documents on the desk and put down them in front of Justin one by one.
“This is the Company Equity Transfer Agreement.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“This is the Financial and Capital Turnover Report of the company in these ten years.”
“This is the company’s development plan for the next two quarters.”
“These are the ongoing projects.”
“Nathan is going to explain the other documents to you after the board meeting.”
The atmosphere of the meeting room got gloomier as Clarence spoke. In the end, Clarence was the only one
talking in the meeting room.
Clarence looked up as he put down the last document file. He glanced at everyone in the room, “Alright, I’m no
longer the director of Conrad Group from this second onwards, and I will never step foot in the company ever
again. Best of luck to you all.”
Then, Clarence turned and left without hesitation.
Justin stopped Clarence when he was about to walk out of the room, “Clarence.”
Clarence didn’t turn around. Instead, he told Justin directly, “I’ll wait for you in the office.”
Soon, Clarence walked out of everyone’s sight.
Justin looked around the meeting room and said, “Hello, fellow board members. I’m very new to managing a
company. I would appreciate it if you could help me out in it”
“Ah, Young Master Justin. It’d be our pleasure.”
“Yes, yes. We’ll definitely help you out if you need us.”
The board meeting ended after the socializing session.
There was nothing Clarence wanted to take away other than a photo frame.
Clarence stood in front of the window and looked outside. He seemed expressionless. No one knew what he was
thinking based on his expression.
After a while, Justin’s voice rose from behind, “Clarence.”
Clarence turned around. He walked toward the couch and sat down, “How’s life in Canada?”
“It’s fine for me, but father hadn’t gotten used to the weather there. He had rashes all over his body, but he’s
getting better.”
Clarence said, “It’s not easy to get used to another place when he’s been staying in City N for so many years.”
Justin said, “It’s good that we came back. The doctor said it’d be better for his health when he’s at a place he felt
familiar. It seemed like I made a bad choice back then.”
Clarence smiled, “Bad choice or not. You’ll only know it after you made it.”
“What are you going to do next?”
“I’ll travel around with Stella and propose to her at the right time. I’m planning for a wedding before year-end.”
Justine smiled relaxingly, “You guys stick together after all these years and after everything you guys have been
through. Let me know when’s the date for your wedding reception. I’ll be there to witness it.”
Clarence looked at Justin, and he seemed cold, “I don’t think so.”
Justin’s smile froze, “Clarence, you…”
“I’ve told you this when Joanna died. We’re even now. I’m giving back the Conrad Group, and that should be the end
of everything.”
“I don’t understand what you mean.”
“It doesn’t matter if you understand or not. I will not dig further into what happened in the past, and I won’t look
into the plots and conspiracies. All I wanted for the rest of my life is to live without all these events. I want my wife
to stay beside me, and my son to grow up healthily.”
Justin paused and forced a smile, “What do you think I did?”
“I don’t think you did anything, but we should know what Joanna meant before she passed away.”
“Clarence, she’s dead. You…”
“Yes, she’s dead, but these kinds of stuff would never end,” Clarence replied calmly, “Which is why I hope that we
could put this to an end today.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJustin frowned and remained silent.
Clarence continued, “You’re the reason Joanna did what she did.”
Justin sighed, “I know what you meant now. Don’t worry. I’ll find those people. I’ll deal with whatever she had left
behind.”
Clarence stood up and took the photo frame with him, “The Conrad Group is in your hand now.”
“Clarence, do you still see me as your big brother?”
Clarence stopped, but he didn’t turn around.
He replied, “You’ll always be my big brother if you still think of me as your little brother.”
Then, Clarence left the office.
Justin got himself together and moved his wheelchair to the window.
What a strategic location the Conrad Group was located. Justin could oversee the whole city from the office.
After a while, Nathan knocked on the door and walked into the office. He brought some documents with him,
“Young Master Justin, these needed your approval.”
Justin turned his wheelchair around and looked at Nathan. He smiled warmly at Nathan and said, “You’ve been
working with Clarence for quite some time, right? I might need to trouble you pretty often in the future.”
“Please don't say that, Young Master Justin. It’s my job to assist you,” Nathan paused and continued, “Is there
anything you need? If not, I’ll…”
“Please bring me the Financial Report and the files of the ongoing projects.”
“Sure.”
Justin continued, “How’re the branches doing?”
Nathan replied, “Mr. Clarence had asked them to come back and report on their data and statistics before. I’ll go
and get you the files now.”
“It’s fine,” Justin said, “Get all the person-in-charge of every branch to come back to Conrad Group for a meeting at
three o’clock later.”
