Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 346

"Why is there suddenly a worker jumping off the building? Who is in charge of this project?"

The board members of Burke International were seething with anger, hurling expletives in the boardroom.

Just then, James pushed the door open and entered, silencing everyone.

"Mr. Burke! You need to replace a solution quickly. The finance department cannot come up with the funds needed to support this project at the moment. If something happens now-"

"Burke International can afford it." James spoke in a calm voice, and everyone around him immediately quieted down.

One of the directors couldn't help but speak up, "Mr. Burke, are you using your personal funds to cover the company's shortfall?"

In the past, no one would dare to say such a thing in front of James, but what James was doing now made it increasingly difficult for his subordinates to understand.

"Mr. Burke, Mrs. Burke is causing so much trouble, and you're not going to manage the situation?"

"I think it's better to divorce at this point. Now that the Russell family is part of S Corporation, who would remember us?"

"Mr. Burke, this woman is so cunning. You should divorce her quickly!"

The people around him spoke one after another, painting Sophie as a venomous woman who turned her back on everyone.

James frowned slightly. "Since when do my personal affairs need to be discussed in the boardroom?"

The directors who had just spoken fell silent.

"Mr. Burke, we didn't mean that. We're all for the good of the company-"

Colt caught James' gaze and immediately spoke up to stop them, "Enough. Mr. Burke has said he can handle it, so stop arguing. Let's end today's meeting. Dismissed!" James turned and left, but the murmurs among the directors grew even louder.

"Such a big incident has happened, and Mr. Burke seems not to care at all!"

"These emergency meetings lately only last five minutes! Does Mr. Burke no longer want to be the one in power?"

"For the sake of a woman, Mr. Burke is simply neglecting our well-being!"

One of the directors stood up and said to James, "Mr. Burke, if you don't divorce that woman, I'll resign!"

James stopped in his tracks.

Colt frowned and said, "Mr. Ford, are you serious?"

"Since you don't care about our well-being anymore, I might as well sell my shares now! I'll resign, and from now on, Burke International's affairs will have nothing to do with me!"

Mr. Ford was the first to speak, and several other shareholders stood up as well.

"Mr. Ford is right, Mr. Burke. You clearly don't care about our interests and are refusing to divorce that woman, so I'll also resign!"

"Yes! You must divorce and cut ties with that woman!"

The clamor around them grew even louder, something that would never have happened in front of James before.

James' eyes turned cold. He raised his hand, and immediately, security rushed over, restraining the directors who had been shouting.

"Anyone else who wants to leave Burke International, stand and leave now. Let's clear this up once and for all today." James' voice was as chilling as if it came from an ice cellar, making everyone shiver. The directors who were previously eager to act before didn't dare to speak, and Mr. Ford's face turned pale. He had been at Burke International the longest, but James dealt with him without any leniency.

James said coldly, "Take away their director seals, have them go to the finance department to settle their accounts, and leave. Within a day, strip them of all their positions. I don't wish to see them at the company anymore."

"Yes, Mr. Burke."
