Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 662

Under Sophie's stunned gaze, Colby walked to her side.

Sophie lowered her voice and asked, "What exactly are you playing at?"

Colby simply smiled without a word. Instead, he took Sophie's hand directly. To onlookers, this scene was no different than a public display of affection.

Nichole said, "Mr. Colby, I know you and Ms. Sophie are engaged, but surely the matters of S Corporation are beyond your intervention, right?"

Colby didn't even bother to lift his gaze as he said, "Tricia, show her."

"Yes, Mr. Colby."

Tricia placed Colby's appointment letter right in front of Nichole.

Upon seeing the letter, Nichole's face turned pale instantly.

Tricia stated, "Mr. Colby invested eight billion into S Corporation a year ago. He owns twenty-five percent of the company shares, granting him absolute decision-making power."

"What? Mr. Colby invested eight billion a year ago? Is this true?"

"The appointment letter is right here. How could it be false?"

"My goodness, an eight billion investment a year ago? He's practically a founding shareholder!"

...

Hearing this, Nichole's face grew even uglier. "This is impossible! S Corporation has been operating for a year! I've never heard of Mr. Colby investing! I don't accept this appointment letter!" Sophie watched Nichole's disbelief, amused internally.

When she had initially borrowed eight billion from Colby, she had explicitly mentioned mortgaging Russell Enterprises' properties and shares to Colby. Following Russell Enterprises' bankruptcy and its merger into S Corporation, Colby logically acquired his share of the stocks.

Moreover, at the time of S Corporation's establishment, she had also given some shares to Colby as a form of interest repayment.

She hadn't thought then that it would come in handy at such a moment.

Tricia said, "Ms. Nichole, this appointment letter is legally binding. If you disagree, you may file a lawsuit, though I doubt that would be fruitful."

The argument was going nowhere, so Nichole said, "Even if Mr. Colby holds twenty-five percent of the shares, I am still the General Manager Burke International dispatched. Mr. Colby has no right to force my resignation."

Gaining some confidence, Nichole continued, "I unknowingly had a minor disagreement with Director Tredgold. I've apologized, and it was a trivial matter, which I believe Director Tredgold wouldn't mind." "Oh, please, don't! I do mind, very much so."

Adler's comment turned Nichole's face sour as he said, "I particularly dislike subordinates who lack discernment. Ms. Nichole is sent by Burke International, so Mr. Colby, please be kind and just send her to pack her belongings and leave."

Colby seemed to ponder for a moment before nodding in agreement, saying, "That makes sense."

"Mr. Colby!"

"Someone, pack up Ms. Nichole's things from the upstairs office. Within twenty minutes, I want to see a clean and tidy office, free of any clutter." "Yes, Mr. Colby."

The secretaries of the Costello Corporation, all elites from the Costello family, immediately went upstairs upon receiving the order.

Nichole quickly realized that she had been outmaneuvered by Colby and Adler. Their visit today was clearly intended to drive her out!

"I get it now. Mr. Colby, you're here

today just to help Ms. Sophie," Nichole sneered, "I thought she had some real capability, but it turns out she just relies on her man! Sophie, you can't handle being fired yourself, yet you resort to using power to drive me away! Such despicable tactics!"
