Chapter 423
“Security, arrest him immediately!” came the shouts from around the room.
“Take him away and hand him over to the police—use the company’s connections to make sure he rots in jail!”
Michael’s loyal followers on either side of him jumped to their feet, looking at Andrew as if he were already dead. This was their chance to prove their loyalty to Michael, and in their eyes, this foolish young man was nothing but dust to Rhodes Corporation.
“Well, well, Rhodes Corporation’s executives are supposed to be sophisticated, high-income individuals,” Andrew said calmly, not moving an inch. “But right now, all I see is a pack of dogs barking.”
Marcus nearly fell out of his chair in shock. He figured Andrew had given up and decided to antagonize the entire executive board since he was headed for jail anyway—a reckless and foolish move, in his opinion.
“Take him to the police,” Michael ordered, his eyes cold as ice. “As CEO, I have only one demand—make him disappear from this world.”
Edward cheered, “That’s exactly what we should do, Mr. Rhodes! For someone who dares to defy your authority so brazenly, there’s only one path—straight to hell."
“Kid, don’t blame us for being cruel. You brought this on yourself by messing with the wrong people.”
Several other executives grinned, already imagining Andrew being destroyed by Rhodes Corporation’s influence and connections. To them, a nobody fighting against Jayrodale’s premier company was pure suicide.
Dozens of Rhodes Corporation security guards stormed into the room menacingly. Suddenly, a cold, sharp aura emanated from Andrew’s body.
The two muscular ex-special forces men at the front felt suffocated and did not dare take another step toward Andrew. Something about this man gave them the terrifying feeling of being stalked by an apex predator.
Edward shouted, “What are you waiting for? Get moving!”
Andrew raised his hand and commanded, “Stop! Since when did mere security guards have the authority to manhandle a corporate director?”
Everyone froze in confusion, while Edward scoffed. “Corporate director? You must be so scared you’ve lost your mind.”
Marcus shook his head, disappointed at how clueless Andrew was being. The Rhodes Corporation directors were all powerful figures. Yet, a mere doctor was claiming he was one too—it was too ridiculous.
Lauren, understanding the situation, smiled. “Michael, you’d better not touch Andrew—because he is, in fact, our corporation’s director."
“Lauren, have you lost your mind too?” Michael mocked. “What makes this nobody qualified to be a Rhodes Corporation director?”
“If you don’t believe me, check the corporate website right now,” Lauren replied coldly.
