Chapter 958 Accusing Raymond Selena was on the phone with him, but she didn't really pay attention to what he was saying. Instead, she stared out the window at the sunlight, her mind racing with worry about William's safety.
Raymond drove her back to S.M Corporation and gave her a heads-up, "Handle your company's stuff. The Montague family is gonna be tied up for a bit." By "tied up," he definitely meant Elbert and his crew.
Selena knew she couldn't do much to help, so she just nodded and walked into the company building, feeling pretty down. Meanwhile, Raymond got a text from Elbert, telling him to head over to the Montague Group. Raymond didn't bother replying and just drove straight there. When he got to the Montague Group Building, he went right up to the top floor.
The vibe on the top floor was super tense. Elbert had been dealing with a bunch of documents, and the employees hadn't seen Raymond in ages. They wanted to say something, but with Elbert and his crew in the conference room, it was clear something big was going down, so everyone kept their mouths shut.
Raymond stood in the middle of the hall, his dark eyes scanning the room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen he made his way to the conference room.
When he opened the door, he saw Elbert sitting at the head of the table by the big window, a spot that used to be Raymond's. Now Elbert was sitting there like he owned the place, and none of the senior execs around him did anything to stop him.
The senior execs who were loyal to Raymond had been having a rough tsince he hadn't been around. When they saw him, they all stood up.
"Mr. Raymond Montague, you're finally here." "Mr. Raymond Montague, are you feeling okay?" About two-thirds of the senior execs stood up, while the rest had already switched sides to Elbert.
And today, the conference room was packed. Besides the senior execs, there were a bunch of Montague family members too.
Grace and Carter were sitting together. Carter couldn't even look Raymond in the eye, while Grace held her head high, clearly having made up her mind.
All these Montague family members were backing Elbert. They were here to force Raymond to step down as CEO and kick him out of the family.
Everyone had seen Raymond's behavior last night, showing no respect for his elders.
Elbert, sitting at the head of the table, stood up when he saw Raymond. "Raymond, looks like you're not fully recovered. How could you be late for such an important meeting?" Raymond ignored him and looked at the guy sitting to Elbert's left.
That was Eric, the owner of Vertex Automotive Group. Elbert had clearly done his homework, even bringing Eric into the mix. If Raymond admitted he lost the bet, he'd lose twenty percent of his shares. In that case, Elbert, with the most shares, would definitely becthe CEO.
Raymond, being tall and imposing, walked past everyone, making them feel a chill.
He walked up to Elbert and called out, "John." John quickly cin from outside, grabbed Elbert's chair, and pulled it back. It looked polite, but it was actually pretty rude.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElbert, not wanting to sit on the floor and embarrass himself, had to stand up, looking pretty pissed.
John took out a disinfectant wipe, cleaned the chair, sprayed sdisinfectant, and then placed the chair next to Raymond, saying, "Mr. Raymond Montague, please." This whole scene made all the Montague family members' faces darken.
Raymond had shown no respect to them last night, and now he was acting all high and mighty in front of the execs. How could someone who was about to be kicked out of the family act like this? Everyone was fuming, but no one dared to say anything to Raymond. They all looked at Elbert.
Everyone knew how Raymond had run things over the years. Under his leadership, the Montague Group's m no stock had skyrocketed. As long as no him, he never made ope messed with h things hard for the other family members. But he was too domineering, never respecting his elders, only listening to William. He barely even talked to his dad, Donovan.
Donovan wasn't here today. His whereabouts were a secret, and om communication was cut off unless he reached out. He probably didn't know about the shake-up in the family. After Raymond sat down, he smirked a bit, "Looks like you have something to say." Everyone's faces turned red, but no one wanted to be the first to speak up, so they all looked at Elbert.
Elbert's anger deepened, 'You don't even dare to retort!'
