Chapter 582 Termination
“I agree!” “So do I!” The moment Jax voiced his suggestion, nineteen other directors quickly chimed in.
Cunning as always, Antonio held himself back from taking a stance. After all, he knew it was only a matter of time before Donald was kicked out of the company. “Why are you doing this, Mr. Campbell? Everyone here is a distinguished member of the board of directors. They aren’t inferior to you in terms of position and power.”
“Is that so?” Donald said with a chuckle. “Who else agrees with him? Raise your hands if you do.” “Fine! Do you think we’re afraid of you?”
With that, the nineteen directors raised their hands, and Donald quickly snapped a photo of them with his phone. When he realized he had left Antonio out of the group picture, he turned to the latter.
“Mr. Winzark, what do you think about this proposal? Are you for or against it?” Antonio’s lips curled into a sheepish smile. “Does my opinion matter? Hasn’t the outcome already been decided by the votes?”
“Of course, it matters. Tell me, are you for or against kicking me out?”
Antonio cleared his throat and replied, “Well, I’m against it. I know you’ve always been impatient and straightforward, Mr. Campbell. However, since the majority of our directors have already passed the vote, there’s no way I can change the outcome.”
“You sure are a slimy rat,” Donald said as he patted Antonio on the shoulder. “For that reason alone, I shall let you remain in the company for a couple more days.”
Needless to say, those words left Antonio dumbfounded. Huh? He’s the one who’s about to be kicked out of the company, yet he’s still claiming to let me stay on for two more days? What right does he have?
“I think there’s one thing that everyone here has failed to realize. I was the one who proposed the Dragon Fide Project, and I was also the one who suggested rebuilding the Dragon Fide Villa. More importantly, I’ve never asked any of you to invest in these projects. Your bosses were the ones who approached me and expressed their desire to work with me. They wanted to get Dragon Fide Villa up and running again,” Donald said as his gaze swept the room. “Therefore, I’m giving all of you one last chance to repent.”
Furious, Jax slammed his hand on the table. “The voting result is already out, so what right do you have to give us another chance? As far as the board of directors is concerned, you’re no longer a member of Dragon Fide Corporation, Donald Campbell! Get out!”
“That’s right. Get out!”
Donald snickered and sent the photo to Dragon Fide Corporation’s WhatsApp group, along with a summary of what had been discussed.
Seeing that Donald still refused to budge, Jax picked up the office landline and called for security backup.
Alas, the security guards had just entered the conference room when Jax’s phone suddenly rang.
Wynter Lowe? Huh? Why is my boss calling at this time?
Without further ado, Jax toned down his voice by a few notches and answered the phone.
“Ms. Lowe, what can I do for you?”
“Jax Barrera, you’ve been fired. Leave Dragon Fide Corporation immediately.”
“N-No, Ms. Lowe. I—”
Before Jax could explain further, Wynter hung up the phone on him.
As it turned out, he wasn’t the only one to have experienced that.
Charles, Arnaldo, Holton, Hannah, Eleanor, and Lana, had also called the other directors and fired them on the spot.
There were no reasons given, and the directors’ track records didn’t matter, either.
As long as they had raised their hands, they were all stripped of their positions in Dragon Fide Corporation.
Naturally, Antonio and the other nineteen directors were shell-shocked.
They had always seen Donald as a good-for-nothing and believed that Jennifer was the only threat they needed to get rid of to gain control of the company.
However, after seeing how things had played out, it finally dawned on them that Donald was the real head honcho. Otherwise, how would he have the power to terminate all of them in one go?
