Chapter 429 Edward the company veteran , the CEOs right hand man , the head of corporate security , and a board member had just been knocked out cold with a single slap .

The shocking display of power left everyone in the boardroom stunned and speechless .

Mr.

Lloyd , you … Marcus scalp tingled as words falled him completely .

Eunice stared in disbelief .

She mumbled , This is terrible .

We finally had things under control , and now hes ruined everything .

Mr.

Lloyd , do you realize how serious it is to assault a board member and disrespect a company veteran ? Even Lauren had not expected Andrew to make such a bold move .

Slapping Edward across the room was something she had not dared to consider , even when she was CEO with absolute authority at Rhodes Corporation .

Michael jumped to his feet , his face dark with anger .

What the hell are you doing ? How dare you assault our company veteran ! Are you trying to land yourself in prison ? Is there a problem with me slapping this old fool ? Andrew asked calmly .

He repeatedly targeted me as a director and showed zero respect , constantly insulting me .

Mr.

Rhodes , with my current shareholding , dont you think Im entitled to collect some interest on that disrespect ? Michael gritted his teeth .

Andrew- As Rhodes Corporations fifth major shareholder , Andrew cut him off , my shareholding and my dignity absolutely cannot tolerate any insults .

Insulting me is equivalent to insulting the company , so I believe that slap was completely justified .

One executive burst out angrily , Even so , you cant just hit people ! Others chimed in , Violence is bad enough , but you hit him so hard that he passed out .

Even if youve got money and are now a director , well never accept such lawless and arrogant behavior .

Immediately , several other company veterans spoke up in support of Edward .

As veterans themselves , they were used to commanding respect even the CEO had to show them consideration .

Yet , this upstart , who had been a director for mere minutes , had openly attacked Edward in broad daylight .

To them , this was a clear sign that he held no respect for their senior status .

Lauren said firmly .

I believe Mr.

Lloyds actions were completely justified .

Everyone witnessed , and the surveillance cameras recorded , that Mr.

Hills disrespected Mr.

Lloyd first .

Mr.

Lloyd controls such a large portion of our companys shares that his reputation is the companys reputation .

Mr.

Hills overstepped his bounds he brought this on himself .

Andrew laughed coldly .

Mr.

Rhodes , you can call the police right now if you want to arrest me 20 BONUS Chapter 429 .

for assault .

But consider this Im a company director , and If I get arrested , Its the companys reputation that suffers .

Plus , I can file lawsuits about Mr.

Hills previous actions .

And those managers and executives who just spoke up ? Ive taken note of every word .

None of them will escape consequences .

Immediately , Michaels supporters panicked , their faces turning pale as they looked to him for help .

With Andrews current share percentage , dealing with a few employees would not take much effort at all .

Michaels expressions fluctuated between rage and forced composure .

Finally , he shot Andrew a hateful glance and said icily , Mr.

Lloyd , I hope this kind of barbaric behavior wont be repeated in our company .
