Reborn on Wedding Night: Flirting the Cold Bigshot into Blushes-Chapter 463: Godfery Shaw’s Decisive Action

Godfery Shaw gave a few instructions to Manager Vance, then walked out of the conservatory.

He waved towards Nancy Allen, his tone becoming gentle once again: "Nancy, I’m heading to the company first."

Nancy Allen waved back at Godfery Shaw.

After Godfery Shaw left, Nancy noticed Manager Vance’s pale face and explained: "Manager Vance, don’t mind him; his temper isn’t great, and his words might not sound pleasant."

Manager Vance took a deep breath and smiled, saying: "No, Mr. Shaw just asked me to take good care of Miss Allen."

Nancy thought about it, considering Godfery Shaw’s stern face might be intimidating, and since Emma Lewis sent this person, Godfery Shaw wouldn’t go too far.

Nancy exchanged a few words with Manager Vance and, feeling a bit tired, leaned against the hammock chair and dozed off.

Manager Vance covered Nancy with a blanket, quietly sitting beside her, sticking to Godfery Shaw’s instructions to not leave her side.

Godfery Shaw arrived at Cloudglow, checked the surveillance videos first, ensuring Nancy was sleeping soundly with Manager Vance by her side, before proceeding with his tasks.

Recently, Cloudglow indeed experienced a few incidents.

Perhaps Godfery Shaw hadn’t managed the company for too long. Since Julius Shaw’s appearance, from now four or five months ago, some people couldn’t hold back and started taking action.

In the conference room, Godfery Shaw, Basil Smith, and all the senior executives of Cloudglow were present.

This time was unlike the last; last time Julius Shaw had briefly wielded the authority, and everyone calmed down.

This time, everyone wore a serious expression.

Godfery Shaw put down his phone, leaned back in his chair leisurely, and said in a calm yet authoritative voice: "Alright, if you have something to say, say it."

Upon Godfery Shaw speaking, the senior executives exchanged glances, and someone began speaking.

"Recently, businesses across all sectors of Cloudglow are being targeted; someone is deliberately attacking."

"We unanimously believe someone has leaked the company’s secrets."

"Boss Shaw, the company can’t continue being held by Basil Smith."

The rumors circulating Cloudglow suggest that Basil Smith leaked company secrets, betrayed from within, continues placing his own people within the company, eliminating dissidents, and sidelining Godfery Shaw.

At this moment, Basil Smith let these people slander him, standing quietly behind Godfery Shaw.

After these people fervently expressed their views, Godfery Shaw slightly raised his head and looked at one person in the conference room, saying: "You stand up."

The person being stared at by Godfery Shaw was taken aback, then stood up nervously, sweating at the forehead, yet still stubbornly said: "Boss Shaw, though truthful words may be harsh, if I said anything unpleasant earlier, it was solely for the company’s good."

No matter how vehement someone previously was, they’d break into a cold sweat under the oppressive gaze of Godfery Shaw.

Godfery Shaw didn’t respond to the person’s words but instead addressed Basil Smith behind him: "You sit there."

Normally, Basil Smith would be seated; though merely a special assistant, whenever the Young Master asked him to manage the company, he represented the young master, naturally sitting at the main seat. Now the Young Master is here, his role is as a special assistant, standing beside Godfery Shaw.

Godfery Shaw asked Basil Smith to take a seat, and without hesitation, Basil Smith went over and sat in the previous person’s position.

At this moment, those in this conference room were all Cloudglow’s senior executives, either holding shares or managing a major sector of Cloudglow.

For Godfery Shaw, this was a public slap in the face.

The person whom Godfery Shaw asked to stand up turned red with anger, unable to remain calm as everyone in the conference room sat, while he stood.

"Boss Shaw, we old-timers here have worked hard for Cloudglow for so many years. Are you humiliating us just to back Basil Smith?"

These people, having reached this status, have prowess.

Basil Smith, frankly speaking, is just an errand assistant by Godfery Shaw’s side. Normally, they respect him due to his representing Godfery Shaw, but now he is standing above them, which they couldn’t accept.

Thus, the crowd in the conference room collectively voiced agreement.

"Boss Shaw, usually Basil Smith, acting as your agent, sitting in this conference room is fine, but now he’s just an assistant. Isn’t it inappropriate for him to sit here?"

"Moreover, in the past few months, apart from the jewelry custom block, all other departments’ performance has declined. This all stems from issues since Basil Smith managed the company."

"Boss Shaw, it’s commendable if you manage us personally, but Basil Smith, beware of the farmer and the snake."

These statements openly or implicitly suggested Basil Smith was untrustworthy.

If Godfery Shaw insisted on protecting Basil Smith, it would be easy for him to lose people’s support.

Godfery Shaw remained composed, his index finger gently tapping on the conference table, the tapping carrying a rhythmical pressure, gradually halting the dissenting chatter.

Once the conference room was completely silent, Godfery Shaw glanced at the few documents Basil Smith prepared before the meeting, took one, and casually tossed it on the conference table.

He looked at the sole standing executive, saying with indifference: "As someone who has harmed company interests, do you think you still have the right to sit here? What’s the point of sitting here, waiting for me to settle accounts?"

Everyone hurried to pass around the document Godfery Shaw threw, their expressions complex after reading it, looking towards the standing person.

The document eventually landed in the hands of the standing person, who turned pale upon reading it.

Godfery Shaw, like looking at an ant, emotionlessly announced: "The one who leaked company secrets is dismissed, never to be rehired. Considering your ten years with the company..."

This person staggered, grasping the wall to keep from falling, interrupting Godfery Shaw, pleading: "Are you willing to let me off? Boss Shaw, I was wrong. If you spare me, I’ll change and dedicate another ten years to Cloudglow."

Godfery Shaw continued from his interrupted speech: "Considering your ten years with the company, I give you three days to fill the gap; if not, see you in court."

A decade of camaraderie meant only three days of time to raise funds to Godfery Shaw.

Someone daring to betray him wouldn’t warrant a second glance from him.

Silence enveloped the conference room.

Godfery Shaw hadn’t appeared for a long time, and once he did, it was striking.

Months of absence made them realize again that Godfery Shaw was always that decisive figure in the business world, daunting and should not be provoked. How long had Cloudglow’s senior management been unchanged!

Listening to Godfery Shaw’s resolute words, the betrayer seethed with rage.

"Godfery Shaw, by driving us old-timers away, you will face retribution."

"I did leak the company’s secrets, but doesn’t anyone think about why this happened? Isn’t it all because of Godfery Shaw! Cloudglow reaching today’s heights wasn’t easy, but Godfery Shaw lets Basil Smith oversee it. On what grounds? Just because he married into the Lewis family? This freeloader has no right to lead Cloudglow!"

"Just wait, every one of you present, sooner or later, will fall at Godfery Shaw’s hands. A man who can die for a vixen, would he really care about Cloudglow? But to us, Cloudglow is more important than life."

Godfery Shaw suddenly stood up, stepped forward, and grasped the person’s throat.

The rage belonging to Julius Shaw, rampant and spilling out: "Don’t let me hear disrespectful words from you about her again. I’m not acting against you because I can’t, but because I can’t be bothered."

No one expected Godfery Shaw to suddenly resort to physical action.
