I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 613

He looked at Mr. Winters as if grasping at his last straw.

“Mr. Winters, why aren’t you saying anything? You were furious when Mr. Lancaster missed the last shareholders' meeting. You said you were going to see the light. Mr. Lancaster and I believed you! He even had dinner with you, have you forgotten?”

Mr. Winters remained perfectly calm. “Oh, that money Mr. Thomas Lancaster gave me? I returned it to Mr. Lancaster right after the dinner. My annual dividends are more than enough; I don’t need to be bribed. Besides, I said it when Mr. Lancaster first saved Aether Studio: I only follow and trust Mr. Lancaster. If he quits, I quit.”

With that, he showed his phone to Mr. Lee and Thomas. The screen displayed an ongoing call with Steven, thirteen minutes long.

“See this? I’ve been in contact with Mr. Lancaster the whole time.”

Mr. Lee’s eyes widened. They had been on a call? Did that mean everyone had heard everything?

Mr. Winters chuckled.

“I’d stop staring if I were you. Today marks exactly three months for the overseas project. Instead of glaring at me, you should take a look at the quarterly report. So what if we didn't win one bid? It’s a minor issue. Compared to the overseas project, the money we lost before is nothing.”

“Furthermore, only Mr. Lancaster knows the true operational core of the overseas project. Even if the Brooks family knows the business model, it's useless without Mr. Lancaster at the helm. We’ve worked with him for ten years. Have any of you ever seen him lose in business?”

Gerald scoffed, “Ridiculous!”

“Trying to oust a business legend and replace him with a second-rate amateur. Are you out of your minds?!”

Harlan added, “Two morons!”

“You talk about seeing the reality of the situation. Why don’t you wash out your brains and see it for yourselves!”

After the verbal lashing, the partners who had previously shown interest in Thomas all sent messages canceling their dinner invitations for that night.

Thomas’s face was ashen, while Mr. Lee’s was livid. He immediately pulled up the financial reports.
