Victoria also chimed in:
“That’s right, Mr. Thompson, he even wants to interfere with our cooperation with Titan. It’s truly outrageous.”
Director Mr. Hayes added fuel to the fire:
“Mr. Thompson, we hope you can help us uphold justice. If this kind of person continues to cause trouble, it will be detrimental to the entire business community.””
“The contract we’re about to sign with you, it concerns hundreds of millions in profit.”
Mr. Thompson’s gaze swept across the room, finally landing on me, his expression complex.
Then, to everyone’s surprise, he walked directly up to me and bowed ninety degrees:
“Mr. Sterling, you’re back! Titan Enterprises is at your disposal anytime!”
The entire conference room fell silent.
Everyone’s faces shifted from smugness to shock, then to utter dread.
I scoffed softly:
“Mr. Thompson, thank you for your hard work. It seems you’ve done a great job expanding Titan’s business in the East Coast region.”
Mr. Thompson respectfully replied:
“It’s all thanks to your guidance, Mr. Sterling. I only came to discuss this cooperation today because I knew Sterling Group was your family company.”
At his words, the entire room was even more stunned.
Mr. Hayes stammered:
“Mr. Thompson, you… you know Alex Sterling?”

Mr. Thompson gave him a contemptuous look:
“Titan Enterprises is Mr. Sterling’s property. I’m just an employee.”

“Titan is just one of many subsidiaries Mr. Sterling owns.”
This news dropped like a bomb, stunning everyone present.
Titan Enterprises was a giant in the domestic business world, with a market value of hundreds of billions. And it belonged to Alex Sterling?
They had thought Alex Sterling had lost real power after passing on Sterling Group to
Clara.
But who would have thought that he didn’t care about Sterling Group at all; it was just a place for his sister to work and have fun!
Victoria’s face turned pale, her legs weak, barely able to stand.
Mark was too terrified to speak, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
The directors exchanged bewildered glances, finally realizing the immense trouble they
had caused.
I looked around, speaking calmly:
“Today, I announce the termination of all of Victoria’s positions within Sterling Group and the freezing of all assets held by Mark and Victoria that are related to Sterling Group.”
“All employees hired by Victoria and Mark will go through standard dismissal procedures!”
“Furthermore, the board of directors is hereby dissolved and will be re–formed. Everyone involved in this incident will pay for their actions.”
elling to their knees begging for mercy:
“Mr. Sterling, we were forced!”
Mark threatened us, saying he cut off our financial resources if we didn’t cooperate!
“the had videos of your sister and hospital certificates! We truly believed she had mental problems!”
“We were also thinking about the company. Ms. Clara’s condition really wasn’t good.
Me Thompson scoffed:
