Chapter 289 Arthur's tenderness
Even though Jacob was guilty to this extent, Lucia was not going to let him off the hook. She gave Jacob a cold look, then turned to the executives and exclaimed,
"When I first joined Jibillion, I received a case related to JTP. Jacob bribed CTD to give Jibillion false account, causing the company to miscalculate its estimate. If it hadn't been found out at the time, Jibillion would have paid CTD out of default. Jacob, do you remember?"
Jacob would not speak again, and Lucia did not expect him to respond. She went on to tell the crowd,
"I'm sure you're used to this kind of method in the JTP. I returned to the Webbex Group to clean up this kind of malevolent and insidious way of doing business. Starting tomorrow, I'm asking you to provide me with evidence of Jacob's illegal business practices. Of course, you can do it anonymously. I will definitely pursue this matter and clean up the atmosphere!"
Jacob had thought that Lucia was only here to snatch back the Webbex Group, but he didn't expect her to say in front of him that he was going to be held accountable for his illegal operation. All of the people present were the senior management of the company, and they were all under his usual orders! Whether it was legal or illegal, they carried out after all. If they were really against him, would not he be completely exposed?!
With that in mind, Jacob slammed the table so hard that it made a loud noise. He gritted his teeth and confronted Lucia,
"Lucia, what are you doing?!"
"Finish what Poppy started," Lucia replied flatly, without any hesitation.
"Are you going to..." Lucia had already made him lose so much after she inherited the property and status from Poppy that Jacob can't believe she was going to carry on her unfulfilled wish
?!
"That's right," Lucia replied quickly again, before Jacob could finish his words.
"You're crazy!" Jacob lifted the papers hand and the papers flew off. He glared at Lucia,
"You already own more than half of JTP! If you continue to do what Poppy did, you will only lose the reputation and market value of the company. Ask everyone in the room if they want to shut down the company!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, I can assure you that if I continue to report Jacob on Poppy's behalf, it will affect the development of the JTP Group. But when the dust settles, I will give the company a new lease of life. This company is my father's life's work, and I will not let it get hurt easily!"
Lucia made a solemn promise to the executives.
Arthur was no longer silent. He leaned over to Lucia and said aloud,
"As president of Branch of Davonnis, I can assure you that I will not allow Webbex Group to remain silent. As long as Jacob is brought to justice, Davonnis Corp will treat Webbex Group as its closest partner and support each other and grow together."
Lucia gave Arthur a grateful glance, and his words will no doubt bolster the confidence of executives whose future was at stake.
"Lucia, at the end of the day, are you really going to rely on Arthur?" Jacob saw Arthur come forward and immediately attacked Lucia.
There was a flash in Lucia's eyes. She was about to say something when Arthur pulled her to his side and said with a smile, "Lucia is my woman. It's my duty to help her. Why, are you envious?" Arthur's words nearly made Jacob choke.
Lucia pursed her lips slightly and felt relieved. She had never wanted to make use of Arthur when she was with him, but the public did not seem to see it that way. Since that was the case, she would let them continue to misunderstand. She was confident that she can handle the development and future of the entire Webbex Group.
At this point, the executives had already made up their minds. Although everyone had their own thoughts, their ultimate goal was for the JTP to develop better. Given the current situation, it was obviously more advantageous to side with Lucia.
Secretly communicating their opinions, the senior management sent their leader to stand up and said, "Miss Webb, we already understand what you mean. As employees of the company, our goal is to make the company better. As for the equity dispute, we don't participate and have no right to participate. When the shareholders' meeting is over tomorrow, we will naturally do what we should do."
"Alright, I've wasted everyone's time just now. You can leave now." Lucia nodded and announced the end of the meeting. Everyone stood up as soon as they heard that. Since Jacob was still here, so no one dared speak to Lucia and filed out of the conference room.
As soon as the executives left, the room fell silent. Lucia glanced at Jacob and turned to Arthur,
"Arthur, let's go back too."
"Wait!" Jacob shouted as soon as he heard Lucia's words.
Lucia looked over and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"I need to talk to you alone," Jacob said, emphasizing the word "alone".
Arthur was so resistant to this suggestion that he took Lucia's hand and said, "Lucia, let's go back."
Lucia thought for a moment, then looked up at Arthur and said, "Arthur, just a moment. Wait for me." Lucia also had something to say to Jacob.
Arthur looked into Lucia's eyes, sighed a long time later, and nodded.
He knew all about Lucia.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing Arthur nod, Jacob said to Lucia, "Let's go to my office."
Lucia grunted and wanted to follow Jacob as he walked out of the meeting room. However, her arm was gently held by Arthur. Lucia turned around and smiled at Arthur, who reminded her worriedly, "Lucia, be careful."
"I know. Jacob is no threat to me," Lucia said with a confident smile. She was not shy about saying that ten Jacobs weren't even her opponents.
"I know. I'll cripple him if I have to," Arthur said bluntly. Lucia laughed at his words. She patted Arthur's arm and followed Jacob away.
As soon as Lucia left, Arthur turned to Kane and said, "Kane, where are the papers I asked you to prepare for me?"
"Here it is," Kane said, handing Arthur a document he kept in his briefcase. "I thought you were going to take it out in the meeting."
"Lucia has a high self-esteem," When Arthur said of Lucia, his eyes were gentle. He did not take the document, but said, "Jacob just made a point of saying that she depends on me, so there's no need for this document. You can just destroy it."
