Philip shook his head.
He was being ridiculous.
Why should the look of the boy give him the chills?
He had an iron-clad contract with the three and the clauses were clear. He wasn't stupid enough to believe that the three would follow him so he had added this precaution.
Looks like his actions had truly saved him this time.
Yet, why did the boy not even look worried?
"Oh, you mean this old thing?" Kyle said, pointing at the contract and not even bothering to take it.
"Yes," hissed Philip, getting his breathing and temper under control, "The moment they voted against my desires, their shares became mine and your motion has become invalid. With my vote, your motion has failed."
"You really should learn how to read a contract properly, Philip," Kyle said, "And not trust your lawyers blindly."
Philip's brain went blank at that point and the fear that had started before came back.
"According to Clause 10, provisio (gg), it clearly states that everything under Clause 9 and Clause 10 regarding the effect of voting against your decision is null and void so long as I am still the Heir," Kyle said with a smile.
Philip stared blankly at Kyle.
First, he was shocked that Kyle already knew the contents of the contract without even touching it and secondly … what was all that gibberish he said?
If they did not vote as he told them to, it would mean that their actions caused the shares to be transferred to him. However, if Kyle was the heir, then that transfer was invalid because their act of going against him was valid?
His head spun.
He had read that clause, but he had been so confused with all the legal terminology and such that he missed the true meaning of what the clause actually entailed.
His face paled as he realised.
If they voted for Kyle to remain as heir, then their subsequent votes would be valid. The shares would not be transferred to him.
"Took you long enough," Kyle said with disdain, his cold eyes boring into him, "And you say that you're better than me? Deserve to be in my position?"
"How … when …" Philip stammered, seeing all the plans he had done for the past year go down the drain.
He turned towards the three.
"Don't all of you hate Kyle? Want to bring him down?!" Philip screeched, pointing a finger at them.
Ixora laughed, and said, "Why would I hate our founder?"
"Your … your … founder?" Philip gasped.
"Yes," Ixora said with a smile, "Kayla and her team created the medical drones. Kyle established the company and business."
"No, it can't be," Philip croaked, "His name is not on the list …"
"Of course he isn't," Ixora interrupted him, "He's the founder and our silent investor. We run the company, under his guidance. His name need not be on the list."
"You!" Philip then turned to Xuelin, "He was the one that caused Xing Han to break your engagement, bringing shame to your family. Why …?"
Xuelin put her chin on her hand and said, "Why should I detest the man responsible to give me my freedom? Not only can I now marry my boyfriend openly, I can run my company as I wish."
Philip couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Finally, he turned to the last.
How could this powerful mafia bow down to Kyle?
"I'm here just following orders," Vince said, "The boss supports Kyle."
"What? Why? I don't understand," stammered Philip.
Just then, the door flung open and Xing Han came striding in, "Sorry I'm late. Thank you, Vince, for holding the fort."
Vince got up, gave Xing Han a respectful nod and stood behind Xing Han as he sat down. Xing Han turned to Xuelin and nodded to her and she gave him a huge smile.
"Wait, wait wait wait," Philip said, not grasping the situation, "How can this be? Why are you..?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
"Why not?" Xing Han asked.
At that moment, he did not look like the childish, playful buddy of Kyle. He actually looked like a serious businessman.
Er, mafia man.
The image was beyond Philip's ability to grasp.
"It's very simple," Xing Han said, "Cosa Nostra is my MIL's family. As such, my fiancee made me their leader in Country Tz. He's too busy with his business here."
Philip didn't think he could be shocked anymore but shocked he was.
He didn't think the identity of Xing Han's lover was so powerful.
He gulped.
Why hadn't he insisted on finding out?
As for Xing Han, he was in his element.
After all, even though he didn't like it, he had been groomed from young to be the CEO. He knew how to act, what to say and the demeanour that he needed to portray. Right now, Kyle had a huge thing to settle, so Xing Han had to be serious.
Still, he couldn't help but think back on when he found out all about Nitocris's background.
It all happened at Hades.
Since Xing Han had rejected the engagement for him, there was no way that Nitocris was going to keep this part of his life from him. That was also another reason why he wanted the retreat at Hades.
To explain and show him the inner workings of his world.
Xing Han's love for Nitocris grew even more then. He saw how nervous the normally strong Nitocris was as he revealed everything.
Xing Han knew how hard it must have been, but he was still angry at his Cookie.
How could his Cookie doubt his love for him?
Did he really think this would scare him away?
Xing Han could hardly stop the smile on his face when he thought of how Nitocris spent the rest of their retreat trying to placate him. Maybe he should give Nitocris the silent treatment more often.
Still, he shouldn't let his mind wander now. There were things to be done
