Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1143

It was true—Peak held a mere two percent. The vast majority of the Porter family's wealth remained firmly in Chairman Porter's iron grip.

Peak's face twisted into an ugly grimace.

"I might not hold much personally, but my dad—"

He started to yell, but Lynn flawlessly cut him off.

"So, you still haven't been weaned yet? Relying on 'my dad' this and 'my dad' that in a corporate boardroom? You don't seem much better than a housewife yourself."

Peak's face flushed a deep, mottled purple. His chest heaved, and he was about to slam the table again when Chairman Porter shot him a lethal glare.

Evidently deciding his son was making a fool of himself, Chairman Porter spoke in a low, authoritative voice.

"Sit down, Peak. Since Ms. Shen has an objection, waiting another two minutes won't hurt. Mr. Madden has ability, but he's young. Occasional tardiness is understandable. As veterans of this company, we need to show a little patience."

"Yes, Chairman."

Grateful for the out, Peak quickly nodded and sank back into his chair.

Chairman Porter then turned his gaze to Lynn. "Less than two minutes left. Would you like to step outside and give Mr. Madden a call?"

Lynn had tried calling Jerome earlier that day, but he hadn't answered.

Her expression remained tight as she stared coldly ahead. "When my husband passed away, Chairman Madden took care of me and my children. If it weren't for his kindness, we never would have kept these shares. I only know that a person shouldn't lose their conscience. Almost everyone sitting at this table has been mentored or helped by Chairman Madden. Mr. Zhu, if I recall correctly, it was Chairman Madden who flew in a top specialist for your dying mother last year. Now that he's lying in a hospital bed, you've already found a new master to serve. Don't you feel any shame?"

Mr. Zhu had been the one hovering eagerly around Chairman Porter, ensuring his comfort.

Being publicly called out made Mr. Zhu flinch. But he quickly recovered, his brows knitting defensively.

"Let's keep things objective, Lynn. I respect Chairman Madden. I've been doing everything in my power to find him the best doctors these past few days. If he needs me by his bedside, I won't hesitate. But the company can't remain headless forever!"
