CHAPTER 381 ARREST WAYNE IN FRONT OF EVERYONE
Wayne almost couldn’t hide his joy. Previously, he could never trust Charles Sawyer completely. But
now he was sure of Charles’ abilities by witnessing what he taught him to crack Hannah down.
Therefore, Wayne firmly believed that he would win the Cooper Group sooner or later
He suddenly stood up from his seat and said, “I’m not qualified for this position yet. And I never thought
of taking up it.”
He was taking his stand.
Hannah glanced at him, thinking that it must be Charles who told him to say so—that was taking one
step back today for two steps forward tomorrow, and he could be trusted more easily for that.
As expected, Simon Moss quickly praised, “Wayne disappointed us before, but he grew up a lot after
what happened with his father. Now he has become much more responsible and stable, and he can
clearly know who he is. Instead of thinking big, he starts working in a down-to-earth way. I believe that
he’ll make something for himself one day.”
“I’m very grateful for your instruction.” Wayne seemed to be humble. He won Simon’s favor by using
language skills.
“You may sit down. If you develop well, the board can see your change.” Simon said to him earnestly.
“Yes.” Wayne sat back on his chair, and his heart how indescribably happy. Because he was hardly
ever praised for all that time, but he was recognized now for Hannah’s failure this time. So he attributed
all the credit to Charles.
He felt lucky that he had ignored Jane Cooper’s prejudice against Charles but chose to trust him. Now
thinking about it, he suspected that Jane’s death had only herself to blame. She must have tried to
seduce him. Otherwise, as such a tough man, Charles would never have something with that stupid
girl.
In the conference room, Wayne was secretly pleased, which was all noticed by Hannah.
Simon added, “So, you cannot take people at face value. Before, we all thought Hannah was a dark
horse in front of us, bringing a lot of interest to our company. But actually, she couldn’t afford any
setbacks and just ran away when getting into trouble. She’s never gonna do anything great after this, I
bet. Wayne, in contrast, is willing to learn from lessons after experiencing failures. A man like him will
accomplish great things sooner or later!”
Hannah didn’t refute him. Some executives were saying something agreeing with him, while others just
waited and saw.
Simon affirmed, “I’m not gonna say I’m one hundred percent sure, but I’m still eighty percent sure that
based on my experience over these years, he’s going to do better than Hannah does in the future!”
Hannah just looked at him. She did not suspect that there was a secret relationship between Simon
and Charles. Because he might not be so eager to carry out his plot just yet, and he would give himself
away if he didn’t succeed in colluding with Simon. He was never a fool, and he was stroked by her just
because of his self-conceit most of the time. So as long as he woke up to reality, he was not an easy
man to deal with.
And now Simon was putting her down like this, just because he wanted to get off his chest as losing an
important project on her. He deliberately used Wayne to deny her, to find a reasonable excuse to vent
his anger. However, Wayne seemed to take what he said seriously.
“I don’t want to say too much.” Simon said directly, “My own feeling is that I certainly don’t approve her
to be the future vice-president of the Group, cause she has no capacity to up to such an important
position. We haven’t hired an external vice-president before, cause it’s usually a member of the Cooper
family. But rules are fixed, not man. Currently, it’s difficult to single out a Cooper family member to take
responsibility. So I personally suggest that we should recruit a vice-president.”
“I agree.” A shareholders said. Others started to vote by raising their hands.
“I agree, too. The company shouldn’t shut down just because the Cooper family has no abilities!” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Yes. You shouldn’t be the dog in the manger.”
The people in the conference room kept talking loudly, and Simon was the loudest of them all. The
atmosphere was kind of out of control. Obviously, Miguel’s face took on a bad-mood expression.
When he was gonna get mad, Hannah spoke.
“I disagree,” Hannah suddenly stood from her seat and said. Her intonation was determined, and even
forceful.
“You disagree? You just rely on the identity that you’re the president’s daughter...”
“You’ve just said a lot, is it my turn to speak now?” Hannah cut him short with a straight glance.
The one who talked paused again because of Hannah’s tough attitude. After all, Hannah was the
president’s daughter, so he didn’t dare to offend her too much.
“About the project, I apologize for nothing. I have utilized the best plan and calculated the most
accurate offer, so I haven’t done anything wrong!” Separating every word to emphasize, Hannah said,
“If you wanna say something is wrong...”
“If that’s not your mistake, then whose mistake is that? You wanna say the competitors are the ones to
blame? Sawyer Group is the one to blame?” Simon stated in a loud voice, sarcastically.
“Will you just hear me out!”
“I don’t want to hear anything! I can’t accept a person as irresponsible and arrogant as you running the
whole Cooper Group! Even if our company doesn’t allow both presidents to be external employees, I
would rather recommend Wayne for this position than trust you again!”
“Did you just mention Wayne?” Hannah smiled slightly with sarcasm.
“What is your look!” Simon looked green, “Now you look down upon him, actually, you’re not qualified to
look down on anybody like that! At least he has learned his lessons, what about you? You’re so
haughty!”
“You think he’s better than me to be Cooper Group’s vice-president?” Hannah asked.
“At least he’s better than you. What I want to say is that we should either hire an external vice president
or let Wayne fill this position. I can’t accept you anyway.” Simon said and turned to walk away. He didn’t
afraid to disappoint anyone at all and seemed a bit unruly. Obviously, he was determined to bring her
down.
Hannah just looked at how he turned away, looked as he flung open the door of the conference room.
Outside the room, three men in police uniforms suddenly showed up and said, “We work for the
supervisory department of Kensbury City, this is my badge, and this is the warrant for Wayne’s arrest!”
Not only Simon but all people in the conference room were rendered shocked.
“He’s facing charges arising from revealing trade secrets, now we need to detain him for investigation.”
After saying this, they walked straight into the meeting room without asking anyone and approached
Wayne, “Wayne, Please come with us for the investigation.”
Wayne didn’t even know what happened and numbly looked at the policemen in front of him.
He had no idea what law he broke to get arrested!
