Chapter 845
If they followed Vanessa… who knows what kind of chaos the company will face!
“Uh, can I say something?” One of the minor shareholders stood up and said, “Look, I don’t care if it’s the White family or the Costello family in charge. As long as I make money and get my dividends every year, I’m good. So, for this vote, I’m neutral…I’m neutral.”
Another shareholder stood up, “Yeah, I’m neutral too…”
“Me too, sorry Johns…”
Several others who had promised to back Johns also stepped back.
Colby spoke slowly, “By the way, your old buddy, Dominic, has just been kicked out of the company. If anyone else here wants the same fate, feel free to stand up.”
Hearing this, Johns’s face turned dark, “Colby! Dominic was one of our major shareholders. What gives you the right to fire him?”
Colby replied calmly, “I own sixty percent of the shares, which gives me absolute authority. If anyone wants to leave Costello Corporation, just say the word. I have plenty of
money to buy back your shares, and more ways to make you want to leave voluntarily. If you don’t want your shares, there are plenty of people out there who do.”
Everything Colby said was the harsh truth. Those who had been pushing for Colby to step down were now too scared to even breathe loudly.
“Colby… I’m sorry. My family depends on these shares to live. It was all Johns and Dominic’s idea! I had nothing to do with it! I know I messed up!”
“Colby! I realize my mistake too… I won’t do it again! Please, Colby, have mercy!”
The shareholders who had been reprimanded were now kneeling on the ground, begging for forgiveness.
Everyone in the room knew about Colby’s ruthless methods. They had just forgotten the sting after their wounds had healed, forgetting how Colby had dealt with those who were on the fringes of the White family.
“Anyone else want to leave? I’ll count to three.”
Just as Colby was about to count, the remaining shareholders‘ defenses completely collapsed, and one by one, they hurriedly stepped forward to beg for mercy.
Soon, only Johns and Vanessa were left standing against Colby.
Vanessa hadn’t expected that the uncles who had asked her to stand up and had kindly advised her were now cowering.

Johns, with a dark expression, pointed at those traitors and gritted his teeth, “You, you guys!”
“It’s not that we’re disloyal, Johns. There’s just no winning against Colby! You should come over too!”
“Yeah, Johns, I told you so, but you wouldn’t listen!”
With a grim face, Johns said, “You may lack spine, but I don’t! Whoever wants the Costello family’s shares can have them!”
Johns dragged Vanessa, intending to leave the conference room.
Colby raised an eyebrow but didn’t have anyone stop them, letting Johns leave the conference room.
Colby stood up, taking Sophie’s hand as they walked toward the exit of the conference room. Before leaving, he left a message for a man in black, “Take them to the hospital.” “Yes.”
The man in black escorted the shareholders who had their fingers cut off to the hospital: They were so frightened that they were trembling and didn’t dare to bother Colby’s people any further.
At the company’s entrance, Colby popped a piece of candy into his mouth, and Sophie couldn’t help saying, “You seemed like you were about to explode earlier.”
“Honey, it was hard to hold back.”
If Sophie hadn’t been there, he might have really lost control and unleashed havoc.
