It Is Settled
"Exactly, " Boris added. "Don't fall into her trap, everyone. She is holding a grudge against me for kicking her out of the company. After all, her children aren't mine. And now, she has even caused my subordinates to turn on me so that she can seize the Giblo family's assets."
"Boris, you really are a shameless b_stard!" Freda couldn't help but curse.
"Shut up!" Boris snapped back arrogantly.
"Since everyone finds the agreement suspicious, let's just get it verified." Carla was already prepared. "If you don't trust Naya, we'll get doctors from Serene Hospital to conduct the verification."
"The staff at Serene Hospital are, obviously, in your pocket too, " Boris countered at once. "After all, Thompson is now on your side after being bought by you."
"Shut up." Newton glared at him.
He really is an idiot. How can he doubt Thompson at a time like this?
Given that more than half of the board members were groomed by Thompson, they naturally trusted him unconditionally.
Unaware of that fact, Boris was puzzled as to what he did wrong.
"The agreement is genuine." Holding the document up, Rodney showed it to everyone. "This debt repayment agreement was written two years ago by Mr. Giblo for Ms. Lierger. As for the supplementary agreement, Mr. Giblo himself handed it to me before his accident."
He continued, "At that point in time, the eight lawyers from Divine Corporation and I were present. All of us watched Mr. Giblo draft the supplementary agreement in person. In fact, he even engaged a public notary to bear witness to it. Consequently, the authenticity of the agreement has been put beyond doubt."
Finally, Rodney added, "The four public notaries present that day are right outside. If you need further evidence, we can get them to come in here."
Boris was shocked by the revelation. Even though he wasn't familiar with commercial hostilities, he was cognizant that eight lawyers and four public notaries were more than enough to attest to the authenticity of the agreements.
Suddenly, Newton's expression drastically changed. After glaring at Carla with murderous intent, he turned and left.
"Mr. Gold? Mr. Gold…" Panicking, Boris ran after him and asked softly, "You're leaving? What am I going to do?"
"Zayn sure is a shrewd man indeed, " Newton murmured under his breath with gritted teeth. "I didn't expect him to leave a trump card behind in his absence!"
"Does this mean there's nothing we can do to change it?" Boris grew anxious. "In that case, I—"
"The boat has sailed, " Newton seethed through his teeth. "Now, you should just shut up!"
"In that case—" Just before Boris could say anything, Newton had left in a huff.
Furrowing his brows, Boris didn't know what to do. After pondering Newton's intentions, he figured that the law was on Carla's side. Hence, he had no choice but to allow Carla her stated share of Zayn's assets.
Nevertheless, considering that Giblo Group had been established for more than a century, he figured that it would not be a big deal to give her just two and a half years' worth of profits.
Feeling a sense of relief, he returned to the conference room and held his forehead with his hand. With a grimacing expression, he lamented, "Well, after that terrible bout of sickness, I can barely remember anything anymore."
Now that the agreement had been proven to be genuine, he had no choice but to blame it on his poor memory.
"Perhaps, I was blinded back then to have made such a stupid decision, " Boris fumed.
"Do you mean that you're no longer doubting the authenticity of the agreement?" Rodney probed.
"To be safe, let's get the public notaries to come in here and verify it, " Thompson suggested. "Given the gravity of the situation, I wish for everyone's patience as we clear the accounts."
