Martin i$aw that everyonr had their own ideas, chuckled a few times, and said, *I admil that I have somr opmions on August because of some of my personal atfairs. So. I want a belter person to lead the Lion Group. Whoever I support, only repnesent my own vievvs I will not slop you. but as long as we have the same Vision and the same opinion, we are good iriends" A*s he said, he picked up the wme glass, got up and toasted everyone. and drank it all in one gulp.
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere at the scene gradually eased up a lot Only the stubborn shareholder, Karl, who had been angry With Martin after seelng Martin'3 purpose, He didn't have any good looks anymore. Soon, the party came to an end, and everyone left Karl couldn't wait to get up and was about to leave. but before he walked a few steps. Martin chased after him, "Karl, I have something to tell you."
Karl snorted coldly, "I have nothing to say to you August IS the only President I'm optimistic about. Bishop. hmph' What the hell is hef As he spoke, he rolled eyes on Martin, He turned to look at his subordmates, and reprimandcd him in a cold voice. Trom novv on, you must push away such indecent occasions’ What the hll'*
vvhat he said was obviously intended for Martin. Martin stood at the same place, and his face lurned cold Merlin leaned over irom the side, and said indignantly, "This stubborn old man’ It is said that the one who worked with Ehot before vvas notoriously ditticuli to deal with I didnt expect him to be so loyal* Bahi*
Martin*s face rcmained unchanged,and he was still looking at the direction Karl vvas leavmg Seeing Ihat Martin didnt speak, Merlin asked, "Dad. they are not vvillmg now, and Ii we ask them to give up shares in the future, they will deiimtcly be even more unwilling. Othervvise, we will directly report the names of those who are not willmg to Bishop and let him deal with it?"
Hearmg this. Martin snorted coldly, glanced at him, and said coldly, "Ii you leave everything to Bishop, then v/hat does he want us to do? Don't forget how much he spent on our family!’
Merlin frovvned, “Then... what should we do’ Karl Shaw is an old guy with a stubborn temper. The shares he holds in his hand are not small among the shareholders! When he creates a dislurbance in front of the shareholders, what v/ill our plan's result be?"
Martin was silent, and hesitated for a long time. A gloomy light suddenly flashed in the bottom of his eyes, “Smce he is stubborn, lets make him unable to be stubborn’
Now, August pushed the Kelly family to a dead énd, and Bishop helped them. They must seize this opportunity, to develop with all their strength, to gain a firm foothold in the business circle of Austos City! Such an opportunity was only once. if they failed to grasp it, The Kelly Group might not be able to stand up! Martin made up his mind, and gradually made plans in his heart.
The next morning, there was bad news. Karl Shaw, a shareholder of the Lion Group, accidentally drowned by the Austos River vvhile doing moming exercises. When he was found, he had no vital signs and died at the age of 65. The police mtervened in the investigation, and it was fmally determined by the forensic doctor that the deceased indeed died by drovvning.
When August got the news, he was having breakfast in the apartment. The news was so sudden. That when he first heard about it, his hand holding the coffee cup shook slightly. and some of the black coifee in the cup spilled out. Burton, who had just arrived at the door, vvas also shocked. Soon, he thought of something, and said with a serious face, Mpresident Adams, Karl accepted Martins invitation last night, and I heard that they seemed to have a conilict at the dinner table.”
Hearing this, Augusts eyes suddenly darkened. He put down the coffee cup in his hand,and his expression was a httle scary. “Does his family know?’
"It is said that aiter the body was examined in the police station, t was cremated by the family.” Hearing the vvords. August immediately got up and picked up his suit jacket and walked out, “Ok. let*s go there.’ This happened so suddenly that even he was surprised. The most urgent thing now was to appease Karis family first. Karl used to be Eliots capable subordinate. and he had agood relationship with August. Karl had taken up most of the pressure for August for several time when he faced the condemnation and attacks from people in the company several times. His kindness. August always remembered. And this sudden accident made August alvvays feel weird.
When he arrived at the funeral home. Karis wife vvas out of breath from crying. and his daughter and son were far away, and they hadn't had enough time to come over aiter heanng the news. August stepped forward, looked at Karls wife who had fainted tvvice. felt a little sore and guilty, “Aunt Shaw, I am so sorry for your loss.” At this tirne, he couldni do anything bul comfort.
'Augusl, tell me why he leit so suddenly? He was iine when he went out this morning...he was also in good health, and why did he suddenly drown? He has been exercising by the side of Auslos River for more than a year. Why did he suddenly slip mto the vvater today”
Aunt Shaw held August s hand, crying miserably that she almost lost her breath.
August was silent (or a moment, then suddenly thought of somethmg. and asked. “Aunt Shaw. was Uncle Shaw unuaual last nighp’
“What's wrong” After drinking. he complained to me as usual when he came back from dnnkmg, and then he went <0 sleep”
“What dtd he complain abouP"
"The Kelly Group has evil intentions and vvants to win peopie’s hearts He said he IS firmly on your side or something August, he has alvvays been loyal to you and the Lion Group. I don't believe this is an accident. You musl investigate It for me It IS impossible for him to die so suddenlyl” Aunt Shaw held August s hand and said non-stop until her children arnved loter She was so excited that she fainted.
August (rovvned, thinking twice about what Aunt Shaw said just now. The doubts in his heart became stronger He also didn t believe that the cause of Karl dying just like that. He was alvvays in good heallh and he was used to doing morning exercises by Austos River. If it was judged to be an accident, it was be unconvmcing. It vvould be more believable if It was said to be an accidental murder disguised. Aiter leaving the funeral parlor, August immediately ordered Burton, 'Go and find out vwwho went to Martiris party yesterday.”

Arriving at the Lion Group from the funeral home. August stood in front of the wmdows of the oitice with a senous expression on his face. He looked at the dark clouds in the distance and was silent ior a long time. In the past two days, he had always had an uneasy premonition in his heart, as if something was slowly conceiving and fermenting in the darkness. and would eventually devour everything.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Burton walked in quickly, presentmg a list, “This Is the list of shareholders who went to Mar1in’s party yesterday.” I
August glanced approximately, and knew something He was silent for a moment, and said coldly, “Now, according to the order on the list, call them to the office. and I want to have an interview with them.’ Taintly, he felt that what happened this
B time had something to do with Bishop, and now ft was the time to prove it.
At the same time, in an airport of Austos City. Lucia waited in the waiting room with Timothy and Janet. After a while, Mandy walked over quickly and said, Lucia, Mr. Thomas has made arrangements, Bram will tae Ms. Thomas on the special plane first, and afte receiving the notification of the route application over there, can we board.”
Lucia nodded in response, “Okay * As she spoke. she hugged Timothy and Janet tightly, but she felt a litle unspeakably uncomiortable, Today was the day when they let Austos City and accompanied Paula to go abroad for treatment. Paul arranged a special plane to escort them directly to leave Austos City and arrive a their destination.
I the waiting room just now, she accidentally found the news on the mobile phone about the drowning death of a shareholder of the Lion Group, and she was nervous for no reason.
