Evelyn thought she had threatened him successfully, but seeing that the man in front of her didn’t care, she wasn’t that confident all of a sudden.
Of course, she didn’t dare tell Valeria now. If she told her, Valeria and William might fight about it, but he would never have anything to do with her no matter whether they would get a divorce or not. Besides, if she offended him, it would be terrible if he wanted to harm her.
At the thought of this, Evelyn realized that what she had on him was not useful at all as she didn’t dare to offend William. Evelyn immediately softened her tone and said, “I was just joking with you. I like you a lot. How could I harm you?”
However, Leonard said coldly, “It isn’t funny.”
“Are you seriously mad right now? I was just kidding! Are you that petty?” Evelyn tried to coax Leonard sweetly, but he pushed her away. “I’m not kidding with you! Today is the last time we meet. I won’t see you again in the future.”
“Why? We were fine just now? I’ll do whatever you ask me to do. Why are you doing this to me?”
“I’m tired of you!” Leonard said coldly. “Look at you. You’re neither particularly beautiful nor have a good body. I can only endure someone like you only for a month. That’s it. We’re done!”
“Leonard! Are you really going to be this heartless?” Evelyn was so angry that she burst into tears.
What could be more hurtful than the man she liked saying that she was not beautiful?
“Yes! I am this heartless! You can do whatever you want, including revealing our relationship to your parents, family, and my wife!”
Leonard got up and left after he finished speaking with Evelyn following closely behind him. After chasing him for some distance, she saw people approaching from not far away and she didn’t dare follow after him anymore. How could she let others see her like this? She had dignity too!
Evelyn was squatting on the ground, weeping and sobbing like the world was about to end. When Leonard heard Evelyn’s wailing, the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile as he left with his bodyguards and assistant without looking back.
After getting into the car parked outside, the assistant asked Leonard, “Mr. Floyd, has the trouble maker been dealt with just like that?”
“Yup! She won’t tolerate such humiliation. I think she’ll send the video to Valeria after crying for a while.”
“Would she believe in that video?”
“Of course, she won’t believe in the video. I don’t want her to believe in the video either. I want Evelyn to tell all of this to her family.” A cold smile appeared on Leonard’s lips.
As long as Evelyn told the Gurney family about her affairs, her family would definitely hate it a lot and would think that William was playing with Evelyn. By then, the Gurney family and William would become enemies.
At nine o’clock in the morning, the Davis family and Wayne, accompanied by Stanty, pushed open the door of the conference room.
As the door opened, Wayne saw Francis sitting on the chair in the conference room.
Today was the board meeting held by the Davis Family. What was Francis doing here?
Before Wayne could say anything, Francis spoke first. “Mr. Davis must think it’s strange for me to be here, right? I came here today to hold a board meeting!”
“This is not funny. Mr. Gurney is already an old man, so you should know what can be done and what cannot. Please leave immediately!” Wayne said with a cold face.
“I’m not joking. Mr. Davis, take a look at this.” Francis opened the file in front of him and let Wayne read the document inside.
Wayne frowned as he took a look, and his face suddenly darkened when he saw what was inside. “What’s going on? How could you have the shares of the Davis family?”
Francis smiled smugly. “Let me tell you what’s going on. Michael has transferred all the shares under him to me. I am now a legal member of the board of directors of the Davis Group.”
“What did you say?” Wayne suspected that he had heard wrong.
Francis repeated it again with a smile, and this time, Wayne opened his mouth and widened his eyes. “You… you… Hurry up and call that b*stard Michael over!”
He roared as Michael’s slow and lazy voice came from behind him. “Grandpa, are you looking for me?”
Wayne turned his head and stared at Michael, who was acting nonchalantly. “He is joking, isn’t he? This is a joke, isn’t it?”
“Of course it isn’t. It’s true. I did transfer all my shares to Mr. Gurney. Now I have nothing to do with the Davis family.”
“Why? Why did you do that?” Wayne covered his chest. “Why did you betray the Davis family?”
“Grandpa, how can this be considered as betraying the Davis family? What’s the difference between the shares being in my hands and in Mr. Gurney’s?”
“Nonsense! How can there be no difference? An outsider like him has so much of the Davis family’s shares. You are luring a wolf into the house!” Wayne was all worked up.
Michael’s expression became cold suddenly. “Grandpa, what you said is wrong. How could Mr. Gurney be a wolf? He came to help the Davis family flourish and develop. The Davis family will become greater in the future under his leadership.”
“B*stard! You b*stard! What’s the purpose of letting outsiders in like this? Why did you do this?”
“I told you, Mr. Gurney is not an outsider! He and I are family! Grandpa, didn’t you want me to marry Azalea? Mr. Gurney is Azalea’s biological father. If I marry Azalea, he will be my father-in-law. A son-in-law is almost like a son. What’s the difference between mine and Mr. Gurney’s shares?”
Wayne was so angry that he trembled, and as he raised his hand to slap Michael, Michael turned his head to avoid it as the smile on his face widened. “Grandpa, you know what? I have been waiting for this day for a long time! Didn’t you want me to develop the Davis family? If you hadn’t been a part of killing Abbie, I will definitely follow your instructions and carry on, but you are too vicious! Because of that, I have always wanted to give you a big gift, and Mr. Gurney helped me! Grandpa, are you satisfied with the gift you received?”
“You… you…” Wayne pointed at Michael with trembling fingers, his whole body shaking.
“What? Grandpa! You created all this, didn’t you? When you schemed against others back then, you should have thought of today. I’ll give you a heads-up. After Mr. Gurney joins the board of directors, the Davis family may not be able to hold out for long, because Mr. Gurney has purchased some of the Davis family’s shares through other means. Now he is the biggest shareholder of the Davis family!”
When Wayne heard Michael’s words, his eyes widened. His company, his hope…
It was over! Looking at the proud smile on Francis’ face and Michael’s nonchalant expression, Wayne wondered how could things have become like this?
It shouldn’t have happened! His mind was a mess, and countless sounds exploded in his mind, buzzing and murmuring. Wayne couldn’t bear it anymore and finally fell backward.
Seeing Wayne faint, Stanty panicked and shouted at the top of his voice, “Call an ambulance! Hurry! Michael, do you want to see your grandfather die?”
