1338 Going Overboard
Weston and Gregory had been friends for over a decade, yet when something happened, Gregory fled. It made Weston furious!
“Bastard!” Weston scolded furiously, but there was nothing he could do.
Seeing Weston almost stomp his feet in anger, Lucas said, “Mr. Barlowe, I mentioned acquiring the Glory Group previously. Have you considered it properly?”
“Don’t even think about it!” Weston hollered angrily. “Do you think you can force me to give in just by creating some minor troubles for the Glory Group? You’re dreaming! I can resolve all the troubles. You can forget about threatening me!
!!
“On the contrary, you should be worrying about yourself, Lucas Gray. Without the building materials supplied by the Glory Group, the construction of your Stardust City will have to be suspended, and you’ll face massive losses every day. I’ll see how long you can last!”
Lucas smiled. “You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll definitely last longer than you, Mr. Barlowe.”
He turned around and instructed Flynn, “Since Mr. Barlowe thinks they are just minor troubles he can easily resolve, it seems the intensity isn’t enough. In that case, give him some more to satisfy him.”
Flynn nodded with a smile. “Yes, Mr. Gray!”
He made another call and instructed, “Take it up another notch!”
Weston stared at them furiously, wishing he could get someone to chase them out immediately.
In less than two minutes, the director of the HR department ran in and shouted in panic, “Bad news, Mr. Barlowe! Just now, several senior and mid-level managers of the company suddenly turned in resignation letters together and left. We couldn’t stop them at all!”
The director of the HR department anxiously pulled out a large envelope of resignation letters and handed them to Weston.
Weston took it with shaky hands. Seeing so many resignation letters from staff holding key positions in the company, including production managers, transportation managers, project managers, finance managers, and so on…
Weston dropped the resignation letters, and his footing became unsteady.
The people who resigned were all the backbone of the Glory Group!
Without these managers, everything in those departments would become disorganized and chaotic.
Moreover, the large-scale resignation of senior and mid-level managers was bound to cause shock and panic among the employees. Who would be able to work with peace of mind?
It was now the most difficult time for the Glory Group, and everyone needed to work together to tide over the crisis. Yet these managers decided to leave at the same time, leaving their subordinates anxious and panic-stricken. In this case, it would be difficult for the company to keep revolving, and the consequences were bound to be dire.
Weston suddenly had a premonition that if things went on like this, the company would collapse before the stock price fell to the point of bankruptcy.
Weston suddenly pointed at Lucas and questioned furiously, “Lucas Gray! Is this your doing?!”
Lucas spread his hands. “Have I denied anything? On the contrary, Mr. Barlowe, you have been refusing to believe that I did it. Now, are you willing to sit down and discuss the acquisition with me?”
“You… you’re going overboard!” Weston’s fingers were trembling incessantly as he glowered at Lucas menacingly. “You’re just doing those things to suppress the Glory Group. You’ve caused the Glory Group’s market value to plummet and even caused my company’s operations to be in jeopardy! I… I’m going to sue you for unfair competition!”
“I’m going overboard?” Lucas sneered at Weston. “The Stardust Corporation wanted to work well with you at first, and we signed a contract. We’ve never owed you half a cent of payment! Who was it that terminated the cooperation unilaterally without any prior notice and breached the contract?
“Who deliberately stopped supplying building materials to the Stardust Corporation to try and disrupt my project?
“Who spread rumors that the Stardust Corporation is facing cash flow problems and tried to shake the stock price to make my company go bankrupt?
“Mr. Barlowe, tell me who’s the one going overboard!”
As Lucas questioned, his voice became louder and louder, and Weston turned pale and speechless.
The fact that Lucas called him out on methods he hadn’t had time to implement yet made him absolutely horrified.
How does Lucas Gray know about these things?
Lucas stood up and stared at Weston coldly. “If you think I’m bullying you, go ahead and sue me. Let’s see if you can do anything to me!”
With that, Lucas strode out of the office.
Flynn glanced at Weston and sneered. “Mr. Barlowe, hold yourself together. I’m waiting to see the good news of the Glory Group’s stock price falling again tomorrow morning! I hope you can last a few more days and not go bankrupt so soon!”
Then Flynn hurriedly left to catch up with Lucas.
Watching the two of them leave arrogantly, Weston wished he could kill them right on the spot!
But Weston couldn’t worry about taking revenge now. The most imperative thing to do at the moment was to resolve the crisis the Glory Group was facing!
With a pale face, Weston made a call. “Mr. Hamilton, something has happened to the Glory Group, and I can’t handle it on my own. Please help me quickly!”
The other party seemed to have long known what was happening and didn’t ask him about it. Instead, he reprimanded coldly, “What a good-for-nothing! You swore that you would destroy the Stardust Corporation, but what’s happening now? You’re about to lose your own company! A good-for-nothing like you isn’t fit to be my follower!”
Weston’s blood instantly turned cold, and he was furious and ashamed. At the same time, he was so scared that he didn’t even dare to refute him.
The person on the other end was definitely not someone a small fry like him could afford to offend.
After a long time, the person said, “Forget it. On account that you’re working for me, I’ll get someone to help you. The Glory Group will be fine for the time being.”
Hearing this, Weston was overjoyed. “Thank you, Mr. Hamilton! Thank you so much. With your words, the Glory Group will be saved!”
