“Embezzlement, project diversion, corporate sabotage. Howard eyed Jarvis and Bainbridge with a steely gaze as he said, “Billions at stake. How many years behind bars do you reckon that’s worth?”
Bainbridge and Jarvis had plotted to set Gwendolyn up to take the fall. But now it seemned they were the ones headed for a stint in jail
Bainbridge and Jarvis tumed as pole as ghosts, their pupils shrinking in sheer panic.
“It’s all fake, these documents are forgeries! Bainbridge exclaimed desperately.
Howard kept his cool, his lips delivering icy words, “The evidence is irrefutable. You were planning to bleed Chadwick Group dry and start afresh”
“Larkin, show them the paper trail.”
“Sure.”
Larkin cast a pitying glance at Bainbridge and Jarvis before tossing the dossier onto the table before then.
Bainbridge snatched it up and as he read, his shoulders slumped in defeat.
Every transaction was meticulously recorded with Jarvis‘ signature to seal their fate
Jarvis clenched his jaw, a fierce look in his eyes. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“I did all of this. It’s got nothing to do with Bainbridge. Every single transaction was signed by me and he didn’t know a thing” Jarvis was ready to throw himself under the bus to save his son
“Dad” Bainbridge’s voice faltered.
With sums like these, Jarvis was looking at a decade or more.
“One of you needs to take
the
fall.”
Howard seemed to have anticipated Jarvis‘ sacrifice, but all for a good-for–nothing chump.
“The cops are downstairs, Jarvis. Are you going down yourself, or shall they come up to escort you?” Howard lounged in his chair, nonchalant
Jarvis felt a stab of pain in his chest as he stood, reining in his age. “I’ll go myself.”
“Dad!” Bainbridge followed him out, “Dad, we can pay back the money, maybe lighten the sentence.”
Jarvis whispered fiercely, “Don’t let that 30% stake fall into Howard. Otherwise, we will never recover.”
“Dad, Howard is too vicious!”
Fear crept
tinto Bainbridge, Howard’s moves were cunning and unpredictable.
“Remember! The shares!” Jarvis didn’t have time for more words as the police took him away.
Bainbridge, his face a twisted mask of rage, leaned against the cold wall, a murderous rage consuming
The shares!
He seared that word into his memory, heading straight for the underground parking and driving back to Chadwick Manor
“Mr. Bainbridge. the butler, Zack, hesitated, holding a bowl of medicinal concoction.
Bainbridge eyed the bowl, struggling to speak, “Give it to me, I’ll take it to Warren.”
He needed those shares, and Warren had to die.
Zack gave a side glance, and pushed the bowl forward, “Well then, it’s all on you now, Mr. Bainbridge.”
Bainbridge stared at the dark, thick brew and steeled himself.
‘Forgive me, Grandpa
In the boardroom of Chadwick Group.
After the dramatic turn of events, the shareholders unanimously agreed to oust Bainbridge and Jarvis from their positions to appoint Larkin as the new president of Chadwick Group.
They had witnessed Howard’s decisive action and were thoroughly convinced.
“Well, that concludes today’s meeting. Thank you all for making the time.”
Larkin rose to his feet, playing the gracious host to perfection.

He politely showed each shareholder to the door before turning back to report to Howard, “Sir, I’ve already called Chadwick Manor to pass on your message.
Hmm.
Howard responded noncommittally. “You better get familiar with Chadwick Group operations now.”
“Yes, sir.” Larkin was dizzy with the sudden good fortune that had landed in his lap. Sticking by Howard definitely had its perks. He chuckled to himself as he stepped out of the boardroom, carefully closing the door behind him.
