Chapter 305 You Disappoint Me

"M-Mr. Jefferson!"

When Liam saw Alex's face, the former quickly bowed down politely.

The security guards turned pale upon that sight. They couldn't believe their eyes.

Who the hell is this man? Why is the chairman being so polite towards him?

"Liam, you have become so proud. Have you grown to ignore me in the eight years that I have been gone?" asked Alex as he glared at Liam. Liam's heart trembled, and he was on the verge of peeing himself.

Eight years ago, Liam was trained by Charlie. With his intelligence and wisdom, he was soon put in an important position by Charlie.

*****

The Jefferson family had a huge power shift at the time. Their master went missing, and so did the second son of the family, Alex. Charlie led a few loyal subjects and changed their names to flee the Jeffersons' grasps. They later founded the Forteshire Group outside the Jeffersons' territory.

Still, both Charlie and Liam were aware that Forteshire Group was founded to help Alex rise back up to the top.

"Mr. Jefferson, I was stupid and couldn't see things clearly. Please punish me for it."

Liam bent his knees and knelt in front of Alex.

The security guards were flabbergasted, and their jaws dropped.

The chairman regarded the guy as a superior? Holy sh*t, who is this unremarkable man?

"W-who is he? How did he get the chairman to be so respectful?"

"Damn! Did we offend some sort of VIP?"

"Shit. We're toast. What do we do? What do we do?"

The security guards were sweating and they looked terrified. They never thought that a young man who seemed so ordinary could be so powerful.

"You really are stupid. How could you hire these pieces of trash to guard the entrance? You disappoint me," scolded Alex before he turned and walked into the building.

Liam got up quickly and glared at the security guards before growling, "Go collect your last paychecks and leave right now!"

After that, Liam chased after Alex.

Inside Liam's office.

Liam stood like he was on thin ice as he followed Alex.

Charlie had called Liam the day before to inform him that Alex would be there that day. Liam had prepared to go welcome Alex, never would he expected that Alex would show up before he even got back. D*mn it, I can't even get such a small matter right and let the security guards humiliate Mr. Jefferson in public. I deserve to be punished!

"Mr. Jefferson, I wasn't informed when you would arrive..."

Bang! Alex turned around and kicked Liam in the chest before Liam even got to finish speaking. That got Liam to back away a few steps and fall onto the floor.

"Sorry, Mr. Jefferson, I am so sorry," said Liam as he knelt on the floor.

"Do

you

know why I kicked you?" asked Alex calmly.

"Because I didn't welcome you in time..." murmured Liam.

"Y-you are truly disappointing," scolded Alex as he pointed his finger at Liam.

"Mr. Jefferson, I..." said Liam, who looked extremely troubled. Is Mr. Jefferson not mad because I didn't pick him up at the airport?

"Charlie handed Forteshire Group to you because he trusted you, but look at the security guards you have hired! They represent the company and are the first to be in contact with others. They determine the company's reputation, and you hired those idiots to do that job?" roared Alex angrily.

"I've learned my mistake, Mr. Jefferson, I will look through the company's hiring process and readjust it within a few days," promised Liam quickly.

Alex scoffed. He turned around and looked out the French window. From Forteshire Group's top floor, the crowded street looked as if it was filled with crawling ants. Alex added, "I hope you'll bear in mind that I am the one who gave you everything you have. It doesn't matter how strong or how proud you have become. I can take everything away if you upset me. It wouldn't matter even if everyone in the company stood by your side. They can't stop me from taking it all away."

Liam was terrified, and he quickly nodded. He couldn't be bothered about the stinging sensation on his chest anymore. "I will keep your warning in mind, Mr. Jefferson, and will never be too proud," said Liam quickly.

Alex changed the subject then. "Rumors is that Shane had been complacent over the past few years?"

"In the eight years that you have been gone, Shane had become even prouder and wasted even more money than he did in the past," confirmed Liam.

"Hmph, that useless piece of trash will always be useless. He will never grow to be anything else. The Jefferson family will end sooner or later under him and his mother's control," scoffed Alex.

Liam's eye twitched when he heard that. Did Mr. Jefferson return because he had made all the preparations to exact his vengeance and claim his rightful place?

"Mr. Jefferson, in the eight years that you and your father had disappeared, the Jefferson family's value had dropped significantly. It is no longer a first-class elite family and can barely reach second-class."

"I expected that," replied Alex calmly before he turned around and instructed, "Deliver a message to Shane and tell him that I have returned to Lumenopolis. Invite him to come to my party and tell him blatantly that it is a trap."
