At this time, the injured security guards at the warehouse had already been conveyed to the hospital. And the movers had returned to their stations and started working in an orderly manner. They moved the boxes of goods to the forklifts and then to the cargo trucks at the entrance.
Before long, the goods of the important order were quickly loaded onto the trucks. After a final round of checks, the goods were dispatched.
Seeing the trucks gradually vanishing out of sight, Louis, who had been all tensed up, finally felt relieved. As long as they fulfilled the large order and rushed to complete the other orders, the company would basically not suffer any losses.
Louis secretly glanced at Lucas and thought to himself in amazement, The chairman is indeed very impressive!
Unfortunately, William, the general manager, had been forced by Franco to go to pick up Adrian and still hadn’t returned yet.
Louis sent William a text to tell him about what had happened over here. He also informed William that the chairman had resolved the issues at the warehouse.
Unfortunately, William was now rushing to the warehouse with Adrian in his car, so he didn’t notice the text.
There were more than twenty people kneeling on the ground in front of the warehouse, all of whom were injured. Each of them either had a broken arm or a broken leg as they kneeled with twisted bodies. Cold sweat covered their foreheads, but they didn’t dare to wince or groan in pain at all.
A muscular man with all four of his limbs broken was lying on the ground a distance away from them, and his face was deathly pale. It was none other than Franco, who was currently completely different from his arrogant and domineering self more than half an hour ago. At this moment, he was lying motionlessly on the ground like a piece of trash, with horror written all over his face.
When Preston arrived at the warehouse and saw the scene before him, he flew into a rage.
Without saying a word, he rushed forward and kicked Franco twice. “Damn it! You bastard, didn’t I tell you to work in Snowflake Entertainment? Why did you bring your underlings here and create so much trouble for me?!”
As soon as Franco saw Preston, he received a tremendous shock. He was already in agonizing pain after having all four of his limbs broken by Lucas, and Preston’s kicks against his wounds made the pain worsen. He immediately let out several shrieks as the pain overwhelmed him. “Ah! Mr. Taylor, please… stop! I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong!”
Still unsatisfied, Preston kicked him twice more before hollering in exasperation, “Tell me! How did you end up here? What have you done to Mr. Gray? Hurry up and give me a clear explanation of everything that happened!”
Only then did Franco realize that Preston appeared because of Lucas.
Although Franco was notorious, and many people were afraid of him, he was still working for Preston after all. Now that his limbs had been broken and he was rendered immobile, he was no longer as confident as he used to be.
He didn’t dare to hide it from Preston and told him honestly how Adrian had approached him and promised to pay him $550,000 in return for his help. He also told Preston that Adrian had requested him to bring his subordinates with him to the warehouse to block the exits and entrances, as well as the fact that they had beaten up the security guards.
As Preston listened to his explanation, his face turned even more sullen, and he kicked Franco hard a few more times. “Bastard! Have the Taylors not been paying you well? How dare you take on private jobs behind my back and do such a stupid thing for merely 550 grand? You even offended Mr. Gray! I’m going to kill you, you dimwit!”
He lashed out at Franco and reprimanded him furiously, but Franco was his subordinate and had indeed offended Lucas badly. No matter what, he had to give Lucas an explanation.
Preston walked up to Lucas and said with a fawning smile, “Mr. Gray, I’m so sorry. I failed to take my subordinate in hand and ended up offending you. It’s indeed my mistake! How do you think this matter should be settled?”
Preston was extremely polite to Lucas. In fact, he even seemed to be fearful of Lucas and was trying to please him.
Lucas merely glanced at him indifferently. “There are still a few other culprits who haven’t arrived yet, so stand by and wait for the time being!”
Preston’s face stiffened, but he nonetheless complied obediently and stood at the side quietly.
Franco’s jaw dropped when he saw this!
He had always thought that no one dared to mess with the Taylors because they were one of the four most powerful families in Orange County. So despite knowing that the Solar Corporation was under Stardust Corporation and that he was going against the Stardust Corporation by blocking the entrances and exits of the warehouse, he didn’t take Lucas, the chairman, seriously at all.
But Preston, the direct descendant of the Taylors most likely to be the next helmsman, was actually so… subservient toward Lucas. It was an immense shock to Franco!
Upon seeing this scene, Louis, who was standing near them, was also amazed and surprised. The chairman seems to be far more impressive than I imagined!
Even the shoo-in helmsman of the Taylors, who has his nose high up in the air, seems deferential to Mr. Gray!
Mr. Gray is so terrifying!
At this moment, several expensive cars drove over from the other side of the warehouse, and a few familiar figures opened the doors of their respective cars and stepped out of them. With gleeful expressions, they began striding toward the main entrance of the warehouse smugly.
Louis immediately recognized them to be the former senior executives who had been fired from the company alongside Adrian just yesterday. He immediately went forward to stop them. “You people have already been fired from the company. What are you doing here now?”
“The general manager, Mr. Adrian Hill, has asked us to come back to work for the company again. Aren’t you aware of that?” one of them said conceitedly.
Louis frowned and said in bewilderment, “Wasn’t Adrian Hill also fired from the company? The general manager is now Mr. William Carter! What nonsense are you spouting?”
These former executives were instantly displeased.
“Damn it. You’re just a lowly secretary who knows nothing! Let me tell you, that Mr. Carter of yours is facing the end of his career and will soon be kicked out of the company! And you, his secretary, will also have to pack your things and scram soon!”
“That’s right! Adrian will soon become the next general manager, and you’re going to be kicked out because you defected to William Carter.”
“Hey Reece, aren’t you the director of the human resource department? Issue an order now to have this clueless secretary fired immediately! Anyway, Adrian definitely won’t like him!”
The few of them were extremely displeased with the fact that Louis was standing on William’s side and treating them with so much disrespect. So they were clamoring about having him fired right there and then.
