Chapter 313
That night, in a private room of the Earl Hotel’s club. Alex changed into a sleek black outfit. With a cigarette dangling from his lips, he lazily sat on the leather couch. There were three other people in the room–Barry, Chns, and a lawyer
The door opened and Alex glanced at the person who entered, frowning slightly
Barry and Chess exchanged a quick look. The man entering suddenly fell to his knees and begged. I’m terribly sorry. Mr. Warren. Please, have mercy and ipuine mie this time!
“Mr. Goldsmith, what are you talking about!” Alex flicked the ash off his cigarette with his slender fingers as he casually looked down at Minos with sharp glance:
“Mr. Warren. I’ve already cut ties with Mr. Clark and his son, Hamilton‘ From now on, I’ll only listen to you. As long as I’m on the board. I’ll be completely loyal to you” Mines swore, nung his hand and promising unwavering loyalty to Alex
Alex ficked the cigarette butt and slowly stood up. He walked around Minus who was still kneeling and turned toward the pool table ‘Mr. Goldsmith, don’t you think is a bit late to show lovalty now?” Alex said, his back still to Minos.
Mr. Warren, I’ve been a loyal servant to the Warren Group, helping build it alongside your grandfather. Even if I’ve made mistakes, you can’t just
ne out completely Minos turned around while sull kneeling.
Alex casually wiped down his pool cue with a cloth, speaking slowly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Goldsmith. I’m not the type to burn bridges once I’ve crossed them. I’ll give you three days to transfer your shares in the Warren Group to your eldest son, Jasper.”“”“
Of couter. Jasper is my son. My assets will definitely go to him,” Minos replied, nodding
Im not asking you to give him a share. I’m telling you to give him all you have,” Alex interrupted before Minos could finish speaking
Minos face instantly turned pale when he heard Alex’s words.
wife is the only daughter in her family. If I remember correctly, after your father–in–law passed away, she trusted you enough to transfer the rex to you, letting you enter the Warren Group, Alex said, slowly leaning forward with his cue in hand.
His posture was flawless, exuding confidence. “However, you kept it a secret from your wife, had a mistress, and fathered an illegitimate son. Every
you’ve been sending 10 million dollars to your mistress and your son.
“And now, you still have the nerve to talk about passing down your wealth to your eldest son. Do you have any shame?”
With a crop of the cue ball striking. Alex stood upright, his gaze sharp and unwavering “You have three days to transfer all your shares to Jasper. If you do. III in you go. Otherwise, I’ll take everything.
“And don’t blame me for
Praving anything to your illegitimate son
Alex, mud: “Get him out of here” He had no patience for him tonight–he wasn’t here to play games.
Warren, pleair spare me. I’ve worked hard for the Warren Group my whole life. You can’t just wipe me out Minos begged.

Without beating around the bush. Alex said, “The one who wants to buy your shares is me?
Claude looked embarrassed. “Sir, what do you mean by that?”
Alex’s tone was blunt Trust interested in the shares you’re holding, and I’m asking if you’re willing to sell.
Trude hesitated. “What if I say no!”
Alex exchanged a glance with Barry, who sent something to Claude right in front of everyone. Claude opened the message on his phone, and his face immediately went pale.
Alex leaned back and casually said. “Mr. Sheppard, I’ve already prepared the contract and brought my lawyer here. If you cooperate, you can walk away without any problems.
You’re threatening me” Claude’s face turned palle with embarrassment as he turned to Carl for help. “Mr. Lancaster!”
Carl shrugged nonchalantly, “Sorry, Mr. Sheppard, but I really can’t help you with this”
Seeing no way out, Claude turned to leave.
Alex’s voice, calm but with an unmistakable edge, rang out. “Once you walk out that door, you won’t have another chance.
Claude grip tightened on the door handle. After a moment of hesitation, he relented.
Less than an hour later, he sold his shares in JR Group to Alex at an 8% discount from the market price and was coerced into handing over an additional 600 million dollars, a so–called compensation for Ellie’s kids.
After Claude left. Chris left with the lawyer.
Carl raised his glass. “You really are ruthless, Alex. Cheers to a pleasant cooperation.
Alex shot Carl a glance and elegantly took a sip of his drink. “How many times do I have to remind you? Don’t be so annoying
Carl chuckled, unfazed. “So, Mr. Warren, you just kicked Claude out. Are you stepping in to replace him as the Executive Principal?”
Alex casually pointed at Barry. “Let him do it”
Barry froze. “Wait, what? I handle security, not this! I can’t do it!”
“Just a figurehead” Alex casually replied, “Leave the school management to someone else. Your job is to make sure the two kids aren’t getting beat
up at school”
Barry paused, a bit taken aback.
“If anyone dares to bully them again, I’ll hold you responsible! Alex added, giving Barry a pointed warning
Barry froze again, unaire whether to respond.
Just then, Alex’s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID- Ellie. Quickly setting his drink aside, Alex answered. “Hi, why are you still up so late
Hearing the unexpected gentleness in Alex’s voice, Carl leaned in, curious, like he had just stumbled upon a discovery. He tried to listen in on Alex’s Convenutita but was swiftly showed away by a well–placed kick,
“Alex” Carl protested as he tumbled onto the couch, but his curiosity only intensified. Lying on the couch, with Alex’s leg casually resting on him, Carl couldn’t help but ask. Is that your girlfriend?
On the other end of the phone, Ellie hoord “Mr. Warren, it it’s inconvenient, we can talk tomorrow.”
Alex quickly covered thar phone’s speaker,
