Chapter 1808 Settle The Score

Vinson’s gaze turned cold when he realized the investors who had pulled out their investments were now in the waiting room.

Upon seeing his icy expression, the receptionist hurriedly explained, “Mr. Nightshire, I’ve already told them you weren’t around, but they…”

To her surprise, Vinson merely nodded and strode toward the elevator while pretending not to have noticed the men. One of them, however, had already spotted him and hastily stood up. “Mr. Nightshire…”

The four other men quickly followed suit, and the sight of Vinson sent them making a beeline for him. “Mr. Nightshire!” they shouted in unison.

“What’s the matter?” Vinson replied, narrowing his eyes as he stared at the men. For a moment, the group could only exchange sheepish glances. They knew they had gone overboard with their actions, but no matter how embarrassing it was, they needed to stand up and face the music.

Of course, if they had known Vinson could make a comeback, they wouldn’t have withdrawn their investments in the first place. “Mr. Nightshire, we truly had no choice back then but to pull out our funds. We—”

“I don’t see the need to bring up the past, and neither will I act against you people. However, there’s no way we can work together again,” Vinson replied as he coolly surveyed the five men in front of him. “Anyway, I still have a lot of work to do. Have a good day.”

With that, he stepped into the elevator, leaving the few men looking at one another dejectedly before dragging themselves out of Nightshire Group.

They had to give up any hopes of having a business partnership with Nightshire Group again, but as long as Vinson promised not to seek revenge, that was good enough for them.

Nightshire Group might not be as impressive as before, but it still had significant influence and power in the business world. If Vinson wanted to, he could always take them down in the blink of an eye. Therefore, as much as the men were disheartened at Vinson’s words, they also felt relieved that he had chosen to let the matter slide.

Not long after Vinson returned to his office, he ordered Rayson to gather their company’s shareholders for a meeting.

As a matter of fact, the company directors had been on tenterhooks ever since Vinson’s return. After all, they were the ones who had pressured Susanne into relieving the latter of his position.

Even though the sudden turn of events let Vinson end up with twenty percent more of the company shares and foiled their plan, the truth remained that they had coerced Susanne, and no one knew if Vinson would punish them for it.

Hence, when the directors learned about the meeting, they quickly started a discussion in their chat group.

What should we do now? Does Vinson want to settle the score with us?

At the rate my heart is racing, I can’t help but have a bad feeling about this.

Oh, how I wish we hadn’t been so forceful with Susanne. It feels like everything’s beyond our control now.

Even my son thinks we’ve gone overboard. He said we shouldn’t have forced Susanne in Vinson’s absence.

Before long, everyone in the chat group was airing their grievances and bemoaning their actions. Having read the entire conversation, Oswald whipped out his phone and immediately dialed a number.

I have to report our situation to that person and hear what suggestions he has for us.

As soon as the call went through, Oswald spoke up. “During the last meeting to replace Nightshire Group’s chairman, someone suddenly transferred twenty percent of the company shares to Vinson, which ruined our plan. Now that Vinson is back, he’s calling for a meeting with all of us. I have no idea what he’s up to, and that worries me.”

Upon hearing him, Gaspar narrowed his eyes and began drumming his fingers on the table. “In that case…”
