The shocking display of power left everyone in the boardroom stunned and speechless.
Mr.
Lloyd, you ... Marcus scalp tingled as words falled him completely.
Eunice stared in disbelief.
She mumbled, This is terrible.
We finally had things under control, and now hes ruined everything.
Mr.
Lloyd, do you realize how serious it is to assault a board member and disrespect a company veteran ? Even Lauren had not expected Andrew to make such a bold move.

What the hell are you doing? How dare you assault our company veteran ! Are you trying to land yourself in prison? Is there a problem withslapping this old fool? Andrew asked calmly.
He repeatedly targetedas a director and showed zero respect, constantly insulting me.
Mr.
Rhodes, with my current shareholding, dont you think Im entitled to collect sinterest on that disrespect? Michael gritted his teeth.
Andrew- As Rhodes Corporations fifth major shareholder, Andrew cut him off, my shareholding and my dignity absolutely cannot tolerate any insults.
Insultingis equivalent to insulting the company, so I believe that slap was completely justified.
One executive burst out angrily, Even so, you cant just hit people! Others chimed in, Violence is bad enough, but you hit him so hard that he passed out.
Even if youve got money and are now a director, well never accept such lawless and arrogant behavior . Immediately, several other company veterans spoke up in support of Edward.
As veterans themselves, they were used to commanding respect even the CEO had to show them consideration Yet, this upstart, who had been a director for mere minutes, had openly attacked Edward in broad daylight.
To them, this was a clear sign that he held no respect for their senior status.
Lauren said firmly.
I believe Mr.
Lloyds actions were completely justified.
Everyone witnessed, and the surveillance cameras recorded, that Mr.
Hills disrespected Mr.
Lloyd first.
Mr.
Lloyd controls such a large portion of our companys shares that his reputation is the companys reputation.
Mr.
Hills overstepped his bounds he brought this on himself .
Andrew laughed coldly.

But consider this Im a company director, and If I get arrested it's the companys reputation that suffers. Plus, I can file lawsuits about Mr.
Hills previous actions.
And those managers and executives who just spoke up? Ive taken note of every word.
None of them will escape consequences.
Immediately, Michaels supporters panicked, their faces turning pale as faces they looked to him him for help.
With Andrews current share percentage, dealing with a few m employees would not take much effort at all. Michaels expressions fluctuated between rage and forced composure.
Finally, he shot Andrew a hateful glance and said icily, Mr.
Lloyd, I hope this kind of barbaric behavior wont be repeated in our company.
