Jasper was planning to return to the US at the end of the month, and Peace had to go with him then.
Although Anna didn’t officially reconcile with Karl, she always visited his house afterward. Moreover, Anna often cooked for them when she was not busy. Because Peace was also there, Anna and Karl were not awkward getting along.
Someone once called Karl when they were having lunch. He rarely seemed slightly serious, but he did as he hung up the phone.
“What’s wrong?” Peace felt worried and asked.
Karl glanced at Anna and replied, “Oh, nothing. The board of directors of the Carousel Group asked me to vote.”
“Vote?” Peace and Anna both looked surprised.
Wayne had complete control over the Carousel Group because it was his family’s business. Therefore, rather of having everyone cast a collective vote, he would make each significant choice on his own. Wayne rarely got everyone on the board to show up for a vote.
“They’re removing Wayne from his position.” Karl looked displeased.
He want to say something more, but he left without saying anything after glancing at Anna.
The majority of family business conducted equity meetings to choose their managers. People would rate the top five employees inside the company according to their respective shares at those meetings, and the board of directors would then vote on it.
If they wanted to remove someone from their post, they had to follow the same procedure.
Karl was the only one who showed up late to the meeting. So, he was also the last to vote.
Before he cast his vote, there was a 50/50 split between those who supported and opposed the proposal.
Karl, of course, cast his vote against it without hesitation.
Immediately after the meeting finished, Wayne left the company. He didn’t even have time to say a word to Karl.
Karl immediately stopped Gabe, who was following Wayne, and asked, “Hey, what’s going on? Why do they want to remove him?”
Gabe sighed and said, “Gee, it’s all because that project at Leeds was canceled. The board made a huge thing out of it, and Mr. Wright’s grandfather wasn’t happy about it. They suggested changing the family business model and hiring a president with more experience. So, that’s why they wanted to do it.”
“How did that happen? Where is Wayne going to go?”
Gabe clutched the folder and said, “He’s probably going to his grandfather’s house. Excuse me, I have to drive him, so I’m going to go now. Bye!”
With those words, he immediately left at a fast pace and took Wayne to Peter’s house.
Wayne looked extremely gloomy, and he appeared to make the space even chillier when he stormed into Peter’s study.
“Grandpa, did you agree with that?”
“Yeah, what’s the problem?” Peter was reading a book. Hearing Wayne’s words, he answered calmly.
Wayne said angrily, “Oh, there isn’t a problem at all. However, why do you want Richard to take my place? Have you forgotten what happened three years ago?”
Peter’s face turned pale at mentioning what happened three years ago.
At that moment, they heard Natal shouting from outside the window, “Hey, Matthew, wait for me! Don’t run so fast.”
However, Matthew didn’t answer her.
Peter froze as he heard Wayne questioning him and clenched the book he was holding.
Wayne then firmly said out loud, “Richard wouldn’t have done those evil things if you hadn’t put too much faith in him three years ago. That way, he wouldn’t have harmed Matthew either. When it first happened, you didn’t want to penalize Richard because he wa s a part of our family. Well, I did nothing at the moment because it had already happened. I didn’t expect you’d let him run for president once more!”
After he was done, he looked disappointed in Peter.
Peter was a tough person who had a strong sense of right and wrong. Since Richard was a member of their family, Peter didn’t think he should be held accountable for that incident. However, Wayne thought that was improper.
Wayne had looked into who had harmed Matthew three years ago. In fact, he had almost known the truth. If Peter hadn’t stopped him from pursuing the probe back then, he would have sent Richard to prison.
“But Wayne, you didn’t have concrete evidence before. So, it wasn’t necessarily Richard who did that.” Peter stated while frowning and making an effort to control his anger.
“Huh? What do you mean by that? Honestly, I have the proof and have already shown it to you. You were the one who told me not to look any further and that you already knew the truth and who did it. So, why on earth did you say something like that in the first place! Don’t you remember that you said that belore? Is it because you’re too old?” Wayn e said. ”
With a heavy “bang”, Peter slammed the book in his hand on the table. He replied angrily, “Yes, it’s true that I’m old. But, it’s not like that I’m confused! Wayne, do you really want me to spill the beans? I am fully aware of who injured Matthew.”
Peter’s voice sounded husky, but it was very firm and powerful. Wayne frowned and asked, “What? What do you mean?”
Peter’s expression was grim, and his imposing aura seemed could take people’s breath away. He said, “You rejected me when I said I wish you could get married and start a family. And, you even let a surrogate give birth to Matthew just to annoy me. Do you actually consider yourself to be Matthew’s father? To be honest, there are many shady things about that incident. Richard wasn’t the only person who communicated with Matthew’s nanny back then.”
This happened a long time ago. For various reasons, no one knew the truth. However, it baffled them all.
Wayne had never anticipated that his grandfather would suspect him of hurting his own son.
