Chapter 129

but what you all have done is despicable!”Those who were berated by Hamish got upset.“Hamish, what right do you have to blame us?” “Back then, if you did not play favoritism and married that retarded Winnie off to the Fairchild family, we wouldn’t have been ostracized by them.”“Garland Group had been going downhill for these few years, and it was made worse when you infuriated the Fairchild family.” “Not to mention the investment projects which you injected a huge amount of funds into. All your investments were loss-making ventures; we didn’t even get to enjoy any dividends.”“If we don’t sell off our shares now, we’ll end up being debt-ridden like you.”“Before you blame others, take a good look in the mirror first. Look at yourself; you’re truly a good-for-nothing inside and out!”“I guess we can’t expect much from an illegitimate child. Old Mr. Garland must have been blind when he passed the company to you.” “If your older brother hadn’t passed on so early, Garland Group definitely wouldn’t have landed in the hands of an illegitimate child like you.”It had been a long time since anyone brought up the matter of Hamish being the illegitimate child of the Garland family. It was an emotional trigger and remained a thorn in his flesh.Hamish gave a deadly stare and shouted, “D*mn it, I dare you to say it again!”“I will! You’re an illegitimate child, and everyone here knows about it! Bore by a lowly hostess, you’re a worthless person!”Bang! Enraged, Hamish took a chair and threw it toward the person opposite him.The person did not take it lying down, either. He climbed onto the table and advanced toward Hamish.Nathaniel did not expect that Garland Group had fallen to such a pathetic state. He just watched on nonchalantly as the drama unfolded before him. Although he brought along two security guards, he did not ask them to stop the fight.That was because Nathaniel knew Winnie was watching outside.Hamish was her father and enemy. If Winnie did not intend to stop him, Nathaniel would not poke his nose into it.At this moment, Winnie was sitting on a couch in the outer section of the conference room. She was sipping coffee relaxingly as if watching a show.The female assistant, Jasmine, who was standing beside her, started to worry.She asked softly, “Ms. Garland, a fight has started inside. Do you want me to get the security guards?”“No need.” Winnie frowned slightly. Scenes of this man abusing her mother when she was young started to flash across her mind once again. Her lips curled slightly. “I should be thankful for that person who’s getting his hands dirty on my behalf. Why would I rush to stop him.”But the drama ultimately ended.There was not a single person in the conference room who was on Hamish’s side.Furthermore, they did not wish to leave a bad impression in front of Garland Group’s new owner. Thus, some people quickly broke up the fight.After all that, Hamish was still disgruntled. He banged the table and shouted at Nathaniel, “I am the major stakeholder of Garland Group. I own forty percent of the shares, and including my wife’s ten percent, I have a fifty percent say in the company. Even if you buy the shares from the market and the traitors here, you can’t possibly own fifty percent. Hence, Garland Group is still under my control.”“Shut up!” A bespectacled man who got into a fight with Hamish earlier sneered at him. “You must have gone mad. After the restructuring last year, you’re only left with thirty percent, while your wife only has eight percent now! Plus the fact that you used your shares as mortgage and collateral, you have long been debt-ridden! Even a security guard in Garland Group is wealthier than you! Stop embarrassing yourself here!”Hamish immediately fell into despair as the cold hard facts poured over him.Yes, he was well aware that he had been debt-ridden for a long time.Seeing that these people finally settled down for a
