The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 2397

The board members were stunned. All of them rose from their seats, bowing respectfully to Nigel as he entered.

Within the Salvador Corporation, Nigel was regarded as the supreme leader. Though he no longer made appearances in the company, his influence remained widespread.

His honorary directorship extended beyond the Salvador Corporation to other prominent corporations, and in the business world, he was considered a living legend.

His sudden arrival at the board meeting, coupled with his initial opposition, demonstrated his unwavering support and affection for Justin.

“Dad, what brings you here?!” Gregory exclaimed, hurrying forward to steady the frail elder, whose body trembled slightly.

Grant, seated calmly, narrowed his enigmatic eyes and slowly stood. He was the last to rise, his gaze inscrutable, like a deep, shadowy cavern.

One could never fathom what savage, bloodthirsty beast lurked within.

“Why am I here?” Nigel retorted angrily. “If I hadn’t come, chaos would have consumed the Salvador Corporation!”

He shot a sharp, furious glance at Gregory. His disappointment was so intense that he wished he could send his eldest son back to the womb to be reborn. “Who gave you the right to convene this board meeting without informing me, plotting to remove Justin so easily?!

“Without Justin, there would be no glory for the Salvador Corporation today. None of you would have the massive profits others envy! How could you lead this charge to remove him? Are you his father? Do you even have a heart?!”

Gregory was dumbfounded. His face flushed with anger, his jaw quivering.

As the chairman of the Salvador Corporation, he held significant authority, yet here was his father, reprimanding him like a child in front of all the board members. The humiliation was unbearable.

“Grandpa.” Grant’s smooth, polished expression remained calm as he slowly approached Nigel.

His voice was gentle, and measured. “You’ve misunderstood Dad. Justin’s accomplishments are acknowledged by everyone in the Salvador Corporation. But now, the company’s stock prices are plummeting.

“There’s a high likelihood of hostile parties taking advantage of the chaos to acquire large amounts of Salvador Corporation stock. The workforce is unsettled, and our public image has taken a hit. Negotiating the A5 project with the mayor will undoubtedly face roadblocks. These are immediate, pressing issues.”

“Justin has been framed!” Nigel roared, his voice trembling with fury, his eyes brimmed with tears. His unstable voice betrayed his declining health.

His words caused an uproar among the board members. The police investigation seemed complete, leaving little room for doubt. Justin’s drug use appeared undeniable.

Nigel’s hands trembled violently as he snatched the report, his reddened eyes scanning it repeatedly.

Beside him, Matt read along, his face pale with disbelief.

“The Salvador Corporation is not Justin’s alone. As the leader, you must prioritize the greater good. Blind indulgence will only harm the company. A wise leader must know when to sever ties and cut losses.”

Suddenly, Nigel clutched his chest, his heart seizing in sharp pain. Blood rushed to his head, and his body convulsed violently.

“Old Master Nigel!” Matt cried out, alarmed.
