As Luke read the verbal abuse the netizens were hurling toward Julian, his eyes glimmered with a sense of satisfaction.
Naturally, they were the ones who made up the receipt. However, the order came out from Julian’s account.
Nobody forced Julian into trusting Skyler Chantier and leaving everything into him. At this moment, he had gotten himself into a situation that was beyond any form of dispute.
Lanyard Construction's reputation had been dragged through the mud and so was Julian’s.
Luke leisurely skimmed through the comments.
"No freaking way! I don’t believe that Julian Shaw is such a person, he’s so kind and accommodating to his wife! How could he be a traitor!" One of the netizens argued.
Luke’s eyebrows puckered instantly as he glanced at the name of the netizen.
"A member of the JuSan Fan Club."
Luke’s expression turned grim immediately.
‘These people actually started a fan club for them.
Where do these people get their senses? Susan and Julian clearly aren't a match at all.'
He scrolled downward and continued reading. Among the cybercitizens who were debating about Julian, there were quite a number of people whose names were linked to the fan club.
When he saw that, he took on a more formidable look.
He then realized that once those people appeared, their arguments for Julian would be rebuked all the way by the other netizens. When Luke saw how it happened, his mood brightened up.
After a couple of days of this, Julian Shaw would be completed doomed! At that time, he'd let the whole world know that he and Susan were the ones who were destined to be the best couple.
"Let's see... I’d like to see what Julian's expression was like right this moment?" Joseph laughed enigmatically.
"My guess? I think he'd be grimacing miserably right now," Luke suggested unconcernedly.
"Let me give him a call and ask." Joseph picked up his cellphone and called Julian.
Julian glanced at the screen of his cellphone and smiled unfathomably.
He picked up the call. "Hello?”
"Hey cousin, it's me.” Joseph started the conversation with a chuckle. "Knowing that you might be in a gloomy mood, I’m calling to comfort you a little."
"Thanks man, but I'm feeling fine," Julian replied.
"Fine?" Joseph smirked. "Nah, don't fake it. I'm here to offer you an opportunity. Ten million per share, just sell all your Lanyard Construction shares you're holding on to me."
Julian laughed. "And if I refuse?"
'Ten million per share? That was a joke. Lanyard Construction's market value was upwards of a hundred billion so its net asset value per share should be around a billion dollars.
"You’re refusing? The whole country is now boycotting Lanyard Construction, the company is literally useless in your hands, Julian Shaw. Selling it now is the only way to revive Lanyard Construction.” Joseph tapped the desktop with his knuckle. "It seems that you don’t have much choice. I'm still willing to acquire the company at ten million dollars per share but if this drags on, it might not be worth this much later on.”
Joseph was very certain, but his certainty seemed ridiculous in Julian's eyes.
The corners of Julian's lips raised into a curve and he claimed faintly, "I'm going to attend Marshal Wright's banquet."
Joseph sneered, “Are you planning to restrain me with Marshal Wright? He's in big trouble and can't even take care of himself now."
Julian ignored his provocation, and continued slowly,"
This banquet will be broadcasted live on internet television. You can watch it with Luke if you're free later."
Julian hung up the call after inviting the two to witness the broadcast.
Joseph creased his eyebrows.
"What did he say?" Luke asked.
"He said he's going to be attending the Marshal banquet at the Wrights. He even invited us to watch the live broadcast." Joseph still couldn’t believe it.
Julian's reactions were overly composed.
"Watch it live?" Luke frowned.
"He's probably mystery mongering." A hint of disdain flashed through Charlotte's eyes. "Since he wants us t o watch, let's watch it. We can get the chance to watch him being flustered."
Charlotte gritted her teeth while making her suggestion as she truly hated Julian to the very core right now.
Julian picked up all the calls that came in one after the other but declined to explain anything, merely asking the callers to watch the live broadcast this evening.
