His usually composed expression was starting to crack.

Shareholders were equally at a loss for words.

"What on earth? Do you even hear yourself right now?" they thought.

Their expressions were a sight to behold, all eyes on Lucas, waiting to see what else he might say.

Wasn't he usually the one doing the bullying?

"There is something, really!" Lucas quickly insisted, trying to keep her on the line. "After this incident, the executives at Tudor Group are holding a board meeting. They want to remove me from my position and send me packing. I'm about to be unemployed!" Shareholders were speechless.

This was getting more and more ridiculous.

Aveline paused for a moment and said, "This process sounds oddly familiar."
