Chapter 147 End-of-Year Meeting
Holden’s words made most of the people at the table frown slightly This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Holden, it seems that the loss the Kenneth family has suffered over the past week is not enough to
make your heart ache Leandro smiled and said, “No problem! The game is still on!”
Hearing Leandro s words, Holden almost rolled his eyes.
His heart was aching as fuck!
As the head of the Kenneth family, he was receiving a lot of objections from the family If Caspian
wasn’t there, who knew what would happen?
They insisted on coming to the end-of-year meeting just to tell these companies in Sacramento that the
Kenneth family was still strong, and was roping in other companies to help them.
overcome this hardship.
Indeed It was too hard!
Of course, he must not look weak. He smiled and said, “Our family business is big. The loss is nothing
but a drop in the bucket. But your Universe Group? You’ve suffered a great loss. The shareholders of
your company must be going crazy right now
Leandro chuckled. “Our shareholders trust me very much. They will have no problem even if I fuck
up the Universe Group”
Holden sneered. He turned to Mason and Gerald, as if he was fed up with quarreling with Leandro,
and said, “Now, go to the table at the back immediately. Don’t you feel embarrassed sitting here?”
Gerald looked up at him. He smiled and did not say anything.
He couldn’t wait to see Holden s expression when Stephen showed up later!
“Let’s go to the back!” Gerald said to Mason.
Leandro got up and said, “You work for my Universe Group. Naturally, we must stay together Since Mr
Kenneth looks down on the Universe Group, I will go to the back with you. Mr. Kenneth will
regret it sooner or later”
Holden smiled and said, “No worry!”
At this time, Sterling also stood up and said, “Mr. Hanson, New Bank will stay with you.”
Holden was stunned
New Bank was very influential. Most companies would not want to be enemies with banks, let
alone the darling of the rich like the New Bank
However, what was said couldn’t be unsaid Holden would not humiliate himself, so he just smiled and
said nothing.
“Then I’ll go to the back too!” At this time, Jessica also smiled and looked at Gerald
Holden glanced at Jessica. He did not understand why Jessica had to take sides right now He did
not think that Universe Group and Goldsun Group had business dealings with each other
Was it because of New Bank?
In a moment, a group of people also stood up and walked towards the back!
Many people saw this scene. They did not know what was going on, but they talked about it
The group of people went to the back and sat down.
“What s going on? New Bank, Universe Group’s Mr Hanson, and Goldsun Group’s Ms. Lange, they
actually sat in the back.”
“I don’t know The Universe Group and the Kenneth family have been battling lately
“I heard their quarrel just now It seems to be because of Gerald and Mason Mr. Kenneth said that they
are not qualified to sit at the front!”
In the midst of people’s talking, the group walked to the back. The man with the gold-rimmed glasses
said a few words to Holden with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Holden frowned, looked at Gerald and others, who walked to the back, and nodded.
Immediately after, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses also went to the back!
At the back of the place, Gerald sat down. Daphne sat down beside Gerald and whispered, “Don’t mind
those people’s nonsense. They don’t know the truth.”
Gerald smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter You’ll soon see a fun show!”
“What do you mean?” Daphne asked with her eyes shining.
“You will know soon. It will be so good. Gerald licked his lips and then asked, “Who is the man with
the gold-rimmed glasses? He seems to have a high position.”
Yes. When Gerald sat down just now, he saw there was fear in Holden’s eyes when the
gold-rimmed glasses guy talked to Holden.
“He “Daphne pursed her lips and said, “He is my father. But he and my mother have divorced, and he
rarely comes back to see us.”
Gerald was speechless. He looked at the middle-aged man in surprise. At the same time, a voice
reached his ear
“Why is Cale Thornton from Washington s Thornton family also walking towards the back?”
“No way! Is he going to sit at the back too? He is the boss of Kiloud Group!”
When Gerald heard this, his expression changed slightly.
The Thornton family, the richest family in the country, was also one of the top families in the
country
No wonder Holden was so polite to Cale Since Holden had even invited Cale here, he probably
wanted to talk about cooperation with Cale
Gerald did not expect that Daphne and Jessica would actually have relations with the Thornton
family
No wonder Jessica did not take the Kenneth family’s threat seriously earlier
Cale came to Gerald’s table, smiled at Leandro and others, and then sat down. He said with a
smile, “Mr Hanson, actually, nobody will win if you compete with the Kenneth family like this.”
“Holden asked you to come over and talk to me?” Leandro asked.
“Sort of “Cale smiled and said, “I think it’s enough. You’ve also made the Kenneth family suffer a
loss. I’ve told Mr Kenneth the same thing before I came here I want you to get along well and
make money together”
Leandro narrowed his eyes and glanced at Gerald. Then he asked, “What if I don’t want to? Are you
taking the Kenneth family’s side?”
Cale pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled. “Maybe. The business world is like a
battlefield. I’ve wanted to expand my business to Sacramento, but I left later and gave the Goldsun
Group to Jessica.”
“If you want it, take it back. It’s not like I want it,” Jessica sneered.
Cale smiled helplessly and said, “But this time, I feel that it is an opportunity. You two business titans
are competing, and I can indeed take advantage of it.”
“So, you’re standing with the Kenneth family and swallowing our Universe Group?” Leandro sneered
and asked, “You sure you can?”
“That’s not a nice way to put it. We are friends. Just do me a favor Enough is enough,” Cale said. “Of
course, if you want to continue, I may really help Holden a little After all, we used to go to school
together. And when I was doing business in Sacramento, the Kenneth family had helped me.
a lot!”
Leandro stretched out his only arm, licked his lips, and said, “I have only one word for you. I will fight
the Kenneth family to the death!”
Cale pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses again and smiled, “Then let’s wait and see! But we are
businessmen, and it’s all business. So no matter what will happen, I hope that things will not become
personal!”
Cale’s words gave Gerald some thoughts.
Obviously, Cale was a cunning old fox He was very diplomatic and took care not to offend anyone
Usually, this kind of person was also the most terrifying.
Gerald was somewhat uncertain about his character!
Time passed, and more and more people entered the hall. There were hundreds of people
At the front were some of Sacramento’s big shots. Gerald and his fellows who were sitting at the
furthest table in the back were a bit eye-catching. Many people looked at them strangely
These entrepreneurs were mingling and talking with each other
The main topic was the Kenneth family’s recent crisis, the Zumthor family’s crisis a while ago, or the
appearance of Gerald and Mason.
However, what they did not know was that what happened to the Kenneth family and Zumthor family
was both Gerald’s doing!
At twelve o’clock in the afternoon, Holden walked to the center of the stage. He bowed to everyone and
then took the microphone and said, “Thank you for coming to the Kenneth family’s end-of-year
meeting. I am honored. In the past year
He said a lot of things, all showing off the Kenneth family’s achievements during the past year. After he
talked rubbish for seven or eight minutes, he finally changed the topic, “And recently? Because of some
reasons, the Kenneth family has encountered a little trouble. Of course, it is just a small trouble.
Speaking of this trouble, I want to take the opportunity to announce a few things!
“First! The Kenneth family will soon do business together with the Thornton family’s Kiloud Group in the
real estate industry!”
His words caused an uproar in the audience.
“The Kenneth family is amazing. They are actually able to do business with Kiloud Group. After their
partnership is formed, I am afraid that the companies that are messing with the Kenneth family will
have to think twice!”
“I’m afraid the Universe Group will have a very tough time!”
When people were talking, many of them looked toward Cale!
Cale smiled and did not say anything.
Some people looked at Leandro. Leandro was sitting there with a calm face
Holden smiled and said, “Everyone knows the background of my family If you want to mess with
us, you have to make sure you can afford the consequences. Of course, this is our end-of-year
meeting. I’d like to welcome the entrepreneurs and companies in Sacramento to discuss cooperation
with the Kenneth family.
Seeing the reaction of the crowd, the people of the Kenneth family sitting at the front breathed a sigh of
relief, including Cole. He sneered and turned to look at Gerald in the back row
There, Holden sneered and looked at the back row. “By the way, I have to mention one thing here. That
is Mr. Hanson from Universe Group!”
Leandro frowned slightly
Holden continued at this time, “Mr Hanson, you can’t just put anyone into your company!”
Beside Leandro, Gerald frowned slightly
Holden continued, “Let me introduce the two people beside Leandro. This gentleman is the one who
drugged and raped Bree, the young lady of the Cousy family, nine years ago. He has been in prison for
nine years and has just come out Mr. Hanson’s Universe Group has actually recruited such a horrible
person. It is so disgraceful!”
