One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 206 Victor’s Justice

Bill still had matters to deal with in Eldham Town. Therefore, he promised Courtney that he would finish everything he needed to do and head to Melrose City within a week. After that, Courtney and Alexander left Eldham Town.

Inside the car, Courtney suddenly asked, “You mentioned before that a part of the control rights of Sunhill Enterprise was held by another person five years ago. Is that true?”

Alexander had both hands on the steering wheel as he looked to the front attentively. When he heard her question, he didn’t get distracted and casually responded to her question. “James is one year younger than me. At the time, he was already working in the company after finishing his undergraduate degree at a local university.

It was based on the premise that he gave up the chance to continue his master’s degree at Yale University. Therefore, he was already the vice president of Sunhill Enterprise before I even came back to the country. Grandpa cherished him very much at the time.”

Speaking of James… James left a deep impression on her when she met him at the Duncan Residence the other day. The man was in his thirties. He looked rather similar to Alexander and was quite effeminate. Moreover, he was always smiling at everybody. However, it was hard to read his true intentions clearly despite how friendly he seemed.

“So, your return made James feel threatened.” Courtney looked at Alexander unflinchingly.

“Yes.” Alexander nodded. His gaze was quite cold as he continued, “In the beginning, I only participated in the board of directors’ meetings as a shareholder of the company after my return. I later raised some questions about the company’s financial affairs. After Grandpa investigated the matter, he arranged for me to participate in the management of the company. At the time, my authority was not as great as that of James.”

Regardless of whether Alexander had participated in managing the company, his return, in and of itself, presented the greatest threat to James. After all, the entirety of Sunhill Enterprise belonged to Scott. As the largest shareholder in the company, Scott held absolute authority over the company. Furthermore, Alexander was Scott’s one and only grandson. As such, the company would be handed over to Alexander, sooner or later, so long as nothing major occurred.

“What did he do?” Courtney continued asking.

Alexander sneered, “You’ve got the right idea. What did he do? If he had not done anything, he would still be managing the company up until today. He is part of the Duncan family after all. Besides, the company fared pretty well under his management during those years he was working there. Unfortunately, he is too suspicious for his own good.”
