Chapter 848: The Domineering Connor
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Originally, the shareholders of the Empire World Corporation thought that as long as they joined forces and threatened Connor by withdrawing their shares, they would be able to change Connor’s mind.

However, they never expected that Connor’s style of doing things would be so overbearing. He actually chose to withdraw the shares with money!

The shareholders were all dumbfounded. Each and every one of them stood rooted to the ground with their mouths agape, looking at Connor in a daze, not knowing what to do.

After all, when these people said that they wanted to withdraw their shares, they were only threatening Connor. No one really wanted to withdraw their shares.

However, Connor’s move directly left everyone hanging. If they really withdrew their shares, it would be a situation where both sides suffered.

Although these shareholders could get the money, from today onwards, they would have nothing to do with the Empire World Corporation. The conveniences and benefits that were received from the Imperial Group would also disappear. Their losses would definitely not be less than Connor’s!

At this moment, Connor wanted to use the most direct method to solve the most difficult problem.

Because while Connor lacked everything now, the only thing he did not lack was money. Even if he lost the money, Connor could still afford it.

However, the shareholders were different. If they really withdrew their shares, their losses would be unimaginable.

This was also why everyone looked so surprised.

Clyde stared at Connor and could not help but sigh in his heart. Connor’s style of doing things was really unfathomable.

Whether Connor wanted to compete for the subway project or withdraw the shares of these shareholders, it all seemed very absurd. However, all of this felt like it was within Connor’s control. It was as if he had already known that these things would happen before the shareholders’ meeting even began.

Clyde’s guess was not wrong. In fact, Connor had already expected that these shareholders might not agree, or that they might threaten him by withdrawing their shares.

However, Connor still chose to do so. The reason was very simple: he wanted to use this shareholders’ meeting to tell everyone who was the real owner of the Empire World Corporation!

Connor had two goals for this meeting. The first goal was to let everyone in the company win the subway project at all costs. The second goal was to let everyone in the company know that he, Connor McDonald, was the Chairman of this company and not just a decoration. There were some things that Connor could ignore or not ask about, but once he wanted to interfere, you could only choose to obey!

Perhaps this was Connor’s domineering side. This was also the change in his personality after experiencing so many things!

Previously, Connor’s character had always been very weak, but now he understood that weakness could not solve any problems at all.

Connor’s words made the shareholders present feel uneasy because they did not expect him to really agree to withdraw his shares.

“President Morgan, go and prepare the contract. Let’s settle this matter today!” Connor said to Thomas expressionlessly.

“Alright…”

Thomas quickly nodded and got up to leave.

“President Morgan, wait!”

But at this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly reached out and stopped Thomas.

Thomas looked at the middle-aged man and asked, “Is there something you need?”

“About that, President Morgan, I think I wasn’t thinking about it carefully just now. I won’t withdraw my shares. I support Mr. McDonald’s decision!”

The middle-aged man laughed nervously as he looked at Thomas.

“That’s right, I also support Mr. McDonald’s decision…”

“I’ll also support…”

Some of the shareholders who were not very firm in their stance immediately put down their hands and shouted at Thomas when they saw that Connor really intended to withdraw his shares.

In an instant, nearly half of the shareholders gave up on the idea of withdrawing their shares.

Connor looked at these people with a disdainful smile and sat quietly on the spot without saying a word.

The shareholder who had wanted to threaten Connor with withdrawing his shares earlier also withdrew his right hand awkwardly after seeing that so many people had given up. After all, everyone else had given up. There was no point in continuing!

Just like that, a dramatic scene happened.

The shareholders who were originally shouting to withdraw their shares changed their minds at the same time. They obediently put down their right hands and sat back down.

“Mr. McDonald, it seems that no one wants to withdraw their shares now…”

Thomas whispered to Connor.

After hearing this, Connor smiled faintly, then stood up and asked,”Weren’t you all crying and shouting that you wanted withdraw your shares previously? What’s happening now? Why don’t you want to withdraw your shares?”

Everyone looked at Connor, and their expressions were as awkward as they could be. No one dared to meet his gaze at all.

“Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. You’re just trying to use this method to threaten me and make me give up competing for the Metro Line 9 project. However, I am not as easy to deal with as you think. Although I don’t know how to manage a company, I know that this company belongs to me, so you have to listen to whatever I say. You’d better not play any tricks on me. If you can stay in this company well, then stay here obediently, and I will not give you anything less. If you don’t want to stay here anymore, you can leave at any time. I will also give you the money that you need. Do you understand what I mean?” Connor shouted loudly.

Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

Quenna stood behind Connor. She seemed to be shocked by Connor’s domineering aura. Her expression was one of disbelief.

She felt that the Connor standing in front of her was very different from the Connor she knew!

If it wasn’t for what Connor had told her, she wouldn’t have believed that the person standing in front of her was the poor kid she knew back then!

In Quenna’s eyes, Connor was just a very ordinary poor student. Moreover, his personality was very easy-going and even a little weak. However, at this moment, Connor seemed to have changed into a different person. The aura e gave off had also changed greatly.

“What has Connor experienced in the past few years?”

Quenna could not help but sigh in her heart.

“Didn’t you hear me when I was talking to you?”

Connor asked coldly.

“Understood, Mr. McDonald!”

Everyone was shocked by Connor’s words and hurriedly replied.
