Chapter 209
"This is indeed the Wynn Family's fault," Francis said, giving the final verdict immediately. "They have to pay the price for this!" If someone had to be made a scapegoat, a small family like the Wynns would be the best ones to take the blame, of course. Not only would everyone at the scene be appeased, but he wouldn't suffer any losses because of this either. Most importantly, even if the Wynns wanted to fight back, they wouldn't have the ability to do so. Instead, they could only be at the mercy of others.
Upon hearing this, a middle-aged man in a gray suit next to him promptly replied, "A subsidiary company under our group has a collaboration with Clark Corporation. Since they have a death wish, I'll have the contract terminated!"
The others chimed in one after another, saying, "I'm acquainted with Matt Fox, the Chairman of Roseland Chamber of Commerce. I'll give him a phone call to have him kick Clark Corporation out of the chamber of commerce!"
"It occurs to me that my brother-in-law seems to have invested over 20 million in Clark Corporation. If he withdraws his investment, the company will be left an empty shell!"
"Clark Corporation sells daily necessities, right? I'll have the sales department cut off all its resources tomorrow so that they won't get even the least of those!"
…
By joining in one after another, the bigwigs mercilessly plunged Clark Corporation into the abyss of misery right away.
After hearing their words, the Wynns were all thunderstruck, as if they had been struck by lightning.
Henry collapsed to his knees with a thud while bursting into tears, pleading, "No, please don't do that! If Clark Corporation collapses, our family will be finished—"
Someone snorted coldly, saying, "Do you think your family can still continue to survive now that a younger member of your family has caused such huge trouble?"
Clarence gave Elijah—who sat slumped on the ground—a shove with all his might. He urged in a hoarse voice, "Say something, Elijah! You're the one who brought us here today! Aren't you President Kean's ex-classmate?"
"Yes, that's right…" Elijah suddenly snapped out of his trance-like state. He implored Stanley, saying, "President Kean, please let my family off for old times' sake. We used to be classmates, after all…"
Stanley's face was livid. "Would it be of any use for me to let you guys off?! You guys have offended Ares, the God of War!"
At this, the Wynns were devastated. Not even Stanley, the only person associated with them at the scene, could help them. Wouldn't that spell the end of the Wynn Family?
A ghostly pallor came over Henry's face. "It's over… Everything's over… We're totally finished…" Spitting out a large mouthful of blood, he instantly lost all vigor like a person on the verge of death.
"Dad!" Clarence immediately held Henry up. Then, he yelled at Alex, "You unfilial son! Your grandpa's dying from anger, and our family's gonna be finished because of you!"
Staring in a daze at the blood spat out by Henry, Alex felt his ears buzz as though they were being drilled. Covering his ears, he crouched down and cried, "I didn't really run Ares over! Kingsley saved
him, so he wasn't injured!"
Everyone was astonished upon hearing this. To think there was someone else involved in this!
When Kingsley's name was mentioned, Francis instantly recalled the shocking scene at William's funeral. He mumbled, "I'm indeed not mistaken; Kingsley really is a man with exceptional talent. To think that he saved Ares' life! What a huge feat that is!" Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
The other bigwigs at the scene thought of this as well. Wouldn't the man who saved Ares' life be a walking military medal?! In other words, any powerhouse that got involved with him would indirectly associate themselves with Ares, the God of War, right?
For a moment, everyone secretly decided to immediately start looking for that Kingsley guy once the matter was over. They had just mocked him for being a good-for-nothing earlier, but now, they were only too eager to roll out the red carpet for him!
Despite their inner anxiety, these bigwigs kept their countenance, their expressions giving nothing away. All of them wanted to outwit the others by winning Kingsley over and bringing him under their command before the others did!
The scene was silent for a moment. Then, Francis said, "Since Ares isn't able to attend our dinner, let's go our separate ways. As for the Wynn Family, as discussed just now, we'll grind their Clark Corporation down into bankruptcy as punishment. Any objections, anyone?"
As everyone was inwardly anxious to look for Kingsley, none of them was in the mood to stay around. Therefore, they all agreed, saying, "Okay, let's do as Mr. Stein said!"
"No problem, we'll go back and deal with Clark Corporation right away!"
