Chapter 1696

“You…”

“Besides, as the president, you refuse to follow the director’s orders, and you go against us instead. I
even suspect that you want to take over the company. Look at Hill Corporation’s top brass.

They’re all your people. Do you think any Tom, Dick, and Harry can come here and do as they please?”
Catherine enunciated each word with a tone so cold that it made Wade’s facial muscles twitch and
tremble.

Shaun had never seen Catherine so cold before, but this only made her look even more attractive. She
was simply a cold beauty.

Wade sneered. “Ms. Jones, not only do you want to dismiss me, but you want to get rid of all the
executives I hired as well, right?”

“What if I do? Will you get lost?”

Catherine mocked, “People like you will stay here shamelessly anyway.”

Wade clenched his fists in anger.

“I know you won’t leave.”

Catherine said, “But from tomorrow onward, Shaun will return to the company to assume the position of
president. You’ve been demoted, but you don’t have to feel unhappy about it. When the board of
directors exercises its powers, a worker like you has no qualifications to say no.”

Then, she held Shaun’s hand and walked away.



When they got to the door, the sound of a cup smashing came from the inside.

Catherine gave Shaun a look.

Shaun immediately understood her. With that, he clenched his fists and turned around.

It was just in time for him to see Wade glaring at their backs ferociously and the shattered cup on the
ground.

“Wow. Not bad. ” Shaun raised the eyebrows on his grim but handsome face. “It’s the first time I’ve
seen a president daring enough to smash a cup and glare at the board of directors.”



“No, I accidentally knocked the cup down, ” Wade said coldly. “What? My facial muscles are twitching
out of control too. I didn’t do it on purpose. Did you see me do it?”

“It’s my first time seeing a worker who’s more arrogant than the boss. Fine, you can get lost now. You
don’t have to come to the company tomorrow.”

Shaun snorted in disgust and pulled Catherine away.

However, along the way, the thought of Wade’s face still disgusted him. “Do you think he’ll leave
tomorrow?”

Catherine smiled. “Haven’t you heard the saying that it’s easier to invite the devil in than it is to send
him away?”

“No…” Shaun shook his head firmly.



Catherine was speechless. She forgot that he had lost his memory. “He won’t leave. Wesley must’ve
bribed him and given him a lot of benefits, so he doesn’t even need his dignity anymore. If you come to
the company tomorrow, he’ll definitely make the top management refuse to work with you. Even if you
become the president, it’s just an empty seat.”

“They can dream on if they want to make me a figurehead.” Shaun’s eyes flashed with anger. “ Cathy, I
think you have it too hard. Do you have to deal with these kinds of scum often? Don’t worry. Sooner or
later, I’ ll trample over them and make them respect and revere you.”

Catherine turned around, and when she saw his serious expression, warmth filled her heart. “ Shaunny,
don’t take it too seriously. After all, as long as Uncle Titus recovers the shares and stops Wesley and
Jeffery from succeeding, Wade will be helpless. He’s just a scoundrel.” “Okay. Cathy, I think Uncle Titus
is quite impressive. ” Shaun suddenly looked at her with a complicated gaze. “Do you admire him very
much? You kept staring at his back when he left. It was as if you were reluctant to look away from him.”
