The siblings eagerly awaited Roy Lewis’s performance.
However, in the first month after taking over, Roy Lewis managed to double the net profit compared to when they took over. Although it had not yet reached the original level of the Lewis Group, this result was enough for Roy Lewis to become famous within the Lewis Group and outside.
As a result, the rumors about the end and the decline of the Lewis Group gradually changed.
People began talking about how the new leader of the Lewis Group, who was not even twenty years old, worked magic just like a wizard. As soon as he took office, he signed an exclusive agency agreement with the number one international energy group, which directly led to a surge in the Lewis Group’s profits. At the same time, the previously slow-rising stock price hit the daily limit for several consecutive days.
In the second month, Roy Lewis announced that he had signed the Federation’s total energy pipeline renovation and maintenance project. This time, the Lewis Group’s profits soared again, and its stock price went straight up. The stock price had recovered to its original level before the two months were over.
By this time, the Lewis Group was no longer Mr. Lewis’s old Lewis Group. Instead, it was a brand-new Lewis Group led by the new President Roy Lewis.
As a result, Roy Lewis became a hot figure. By the end of the third month, he was officially appointed by Mr. Lewis as the Chairman and President of the Lewis Group, as well as the new head of the Lewis family.
That day happened to be Roy Lewis’s twentieth birthday.
It was also on that day that many people in Kindur began to call the young Roy Lewis by the respectful Master Lewis.
Now, with Mr. Lewis bringing up old matters, Sebastian Lewis and his siblings’ faces did not look good.
However, they didn’t dare to be too presumptuous in front of Mr. Lewis because after all, the old man still held a lot of shares in his hand.
“Dad, things were different back then. Weren’t we still immature? The Lewis Group was always in your and big brother’s hands. We had no management experience, and you only gave us three months…”
Mr. Lewis sneered disdainfully, “With your abilities, even if I gave you another month, the Lewis Group would have no chance to survive. At that time, not even a deity could save it!”
Sebastian Lewis snorted, feeling wronged, “Dad, you just don’t trust us, do you?”
Mr. Lewis nodded his head, “That’s right, I don’t trust you. You said you had no experience, and you said I didn’t give you time, but look at the businesses and investments you’ve run in the past ten years. Which one of them hasn’t ended in a loss? If it weren’t for Roy’s achievements, you would all be penniless by now, with the huge dividends you received every quarter!”
The siblings’ faces grew uglier as Mr. Lewis blatantly despised them.
Aldo Lewis couldn’t help but shout, “Dad, you’re obviously protecting that kid, Roy! No matter how capable he is, he’s now dead meat. If someone doesn’t take charge of the Lewis Group soon, it will also be a dead end.”
Mr. Lewis almost spat out blood at Aldo Lewis’s words, “You guys are causing trouble before there’s even a rumor out there. If anything really happened to Roy, I would suspect that all of you were in on it.”
Seeing that their true colors had been exposed, Sebastian gave a cold snort.
“Dad, if we had the ability to take him down, do you think we wouldn’t want to? That fucking kid, not even twenty years old yet, acting all high and mighty like a big shot. You don’t know, Dad, ever since that brat took over, we’ve been treated like fucking grandsons and useless trash by outsiders!”
Mr. Lewis shook his finger, cursing at his children one by one, “Aren’t you all just grandsons and useless trash? That nephew of yours has been making money for you for the past ten years. Have you ever thought about what would have happened to you all without him in the past ten years? You wouldn’t have been living the good life, being pampered and catered to everywhere you went. All of you are a bunch of ungrateful, heartless bastards!”
Sebastian and the others exchanged glances and then stood in front of Mr. Lewis together.
“Dad, you must give us an answer today! We are also descendants of the Lewis family. We can’t just watch the Lewis Group and family decline.”
Mr. Lewis was both angered and amused by their shamelessness and arrogance.
“Fine! Since you want an answer, I’ll give you one now. Tomorrow, I’ll go back to work at the Lewis Group as acting Chairman. As for you, go away, all of you, right now, immediately!”
At Mr. Lewis’s words, Sebastian and his siblings, as well as the other younger generation, were shocked.
You see, Mr. Lewis was already ninety years old!
He was actually going to personally take charge of the Lewis Group again?
“Dad, what’s the point? Won’t people laugh at us anyway? At that time, they will definitely say that the Lewis family has no one left after Roy Lewis’s death!”
Mr. Lewis was so angry at his son’s use of the word “death” that he almost had a heart attack. Thankfully, he had just had a video call with his good grandson Roy Lewis yesterday; otherwise, he might have believed their nonsense.
The old man scoffed and swept a cold glance over everyone in the hall.
“Hmph, isn’t our Lewis family already lacking successors besides Roy’s family? Counting on you? Let alone developing the Lewis Group and family, you would bankrupt it in less than half a year!”
Fortunately, there were still three capable youngsters in Roy’s family; otherwise, relying on this ragtag bunch, even with a hundred more, they would only end up dead!
