BXBX NOVEL Chapter 457 Clown
Harrison was surprised by Liam\'s anger. Well, he was also annoyed by Casper. Endurance had limits. He held his breath, wishing for them to calm down.
Casper wasn\'t oblivious to Damon\'s motives. Damon was just a tool to him. The tool appeared at the right time to get Liam back from Alvin\'s hold.
Even if Damon successfully keeps Alvin away on the weekend, Casper had no plans to include a pest in the top management of the company.
Even if Casper would never voice it, he needed Liam. He hoped for Liam to be capable enough to run the business after him.
Thus, how could he just bear Liam talking rubbish about the company?
Liam had worked at the company for more than six years. He couldn\'t bring himself to think of the consequences if Damon becomes the CEO.
So he demanded the response without holding back, "Will you take responsibility when he misuses his power against the management?"
Damon hissed, irked by Liam relentlessly speaking against him, "Liam Matthews, you are going overboard." He almost got the CEO position.
How could he just stand and watch Liam ruin it?
"Shut up." Liam snarled Damon and turned back to Casper, "Will you take responsibility when he bullies employees?" Damon was capable of making his subordinates\' life a living hell at the company, destroying the healthy work environment.
Liam paused, recalling his teenage years. He snickered, "You didn\'t care when your wife was bullying your son, why would you care about your employees?" He scorned Casper.
Damon and Harrison: "..."
They felt like Liam venting all his pent-up frustration over years and exploded at once. They glanced at Casper\'s murderous gaze and swallowed hard.
Liam was determined to get Damon out of there. If he doesn\'t stop them now, it would be too late. Thus he fearlessly continued to voice all his opinions. "Let\'s talk about business."
His voice turned cold and hard, "Will you regret your decision when he sells the company projects to another? Not to mention, he could leak company information." Being CEO just makes Damon an employee. The company wouldn\'t belong to Damon thus Damon would continue to scheme against them.
Casper clenched his teeth and stared at his son. Only if Liam had the same concern towards the company and the position as he was worried about the employees.
He snorted after Liam. He knew Liam wouldn\'t be able to accept Damon becoming the CEO. Thus he used Damon, spreading the rumors of electing the new CEO. While he planned to keep Liam, he planned to lure the shareholders to his side using the same rumor.
"Don\'t act like you care when you are resigning." Casper taunted Liam to continue provoking Liam. "If you don\'t want Damon to be the CEO, then fight him."
Damon: "..."
His lips arced to a cold lopsided smirk making him look vile. He challenged Liam, "I will see who will succeed."
On the surface, Casper pretended to be supporting Damon but he never said even once that he would make Damon the CEO.
"If not, get out of my face." He snapped at Liam and changed his focus to his laptop. He continued to delete the emails which had recommendations and reviews of profiles for the post of CEO.
Liam: "..."
Liam indeed wanted to live his life peacefully with his wife and daughter. If his father\'s choice was Damon, he was ready to struggle to keep Damon away.
Casper extended a black folder to Damon, "Damon, why don\'t you start on this proj…" He paused when Liam snatched the file and stormed out of the office.
Damon was gritting his teeth when Harrison caught Casper smirking watching Liam resume work. He grasped Damon was a clown to get Liam back and Casper succeeded.
"Err…" Clearing his throat, Damon awkwardly smiled at Casper, "Uncle Casper?"
Casper picked up the intercom and pressed two numbers. "Get them to my office."
Standing up, Casper went around the desk and stroked across Damon\'s face. "Damon Matthews, did you think I won\'t find out the money you stole?" He scoffed.
Benjamin wasn\'t brave enough to go against Casper. He was afraid of getting caught and losing everything. If not anybody, Benjamin knew about the consequences of going against Casper.
Benjamin was a fool who used a company vehicle to kill Alvin under Cordelia\'s pressure. How could such a man embezzle money right under his nose?
Casper was angered at first due to Benjamin listening to Cordelia. Thus he hadn\'t cared about Benjamin.
When he was going through Benjamin\'s photocopies of signed cheques, he came across a leaflet that was signed in black ink pen. Whereas Benjamin signs every file or cheque using his green ink pen.
On closer inspection, they found out the sign was forged. After investigation, they found out who used the money.
Casper was focusing on Liam and Alvin when Damon contacted him to land himself in the prison.
Damon\'s eyes were wide and frozen in shock. He needed time to process what just happened. Casper invited him, used him to contact Carozza, and used him to get Liam back. \'Stole money?\'
He had practiced every stroke of his father\'s signature and how to hide the tracks from his father and others to steal the money. He was there to become CEO. How was he caught?
"I-I don\'t know what you are sa-saying, Uncle Casper?" He tried to act innocent. "Let me go... I didn\'t do anything..." Anyway, he was taken under custody and the matter was under wrap to keep the news away from Liam.
After getting rid of Damon, Casper\'s other headache returned. "What is Alvin up to?" He oddly hoped Mr. Carozza to keep Alvin busy and away from Narnia.
Harrison processed what just happened. He was glad Liam wasn\'t leaving the company and he was inarticulate because Casper had a very awful way of controlling people.
Why couldn\'t Casper communicate like a father with Liam? Liam was sensible, he would have forgiven Casper and resumed work.
Sighing internally, Harrison grabbed his Ipad and downloaded the recent pictures they received. His expression changed looking at the picture. He didn\'t dare to show it to Casper.
