Chapter 608
It caused a huge uproar. The cameras flashed non-stop. The major drama that everyone was eagerly anticipating
had arrived surprisingly quickly.
Renee and Xavier also stopped chatting to focus on the stage.
Jovan did not panic. His thin lips curled into a smile as he bowed and gestured an invitation to Alexander. "You're
right, Uncle Alexander.
Although you only have shares but no real power in H Group now, you still have the highest status in the entire Hunt
family outside of grandpa's generation. Since you're here, of course you should take this seat instead.’
Alexander had no intention of putting on an act with Jovan. He accused Jovan in front of all the reporters. 'Do you
think I'm only referring to that seat? You did so many dirty things while the H Group was in chaos. In ancient times,
you would be like a thief usurping the throne. It's a crime punishable by execution!”

so I rushed back from overseas as quickly as I could to stabilize the situation. As for the subsequent
decision made by the board of directors, I'm sure It was made after careful consideration. For the sake of the big
picture, I can only comply."
Jovan spread his hands helplessly, as if he usurped the throne out of kindness.
If Alexander's anger level was at seven out of ten before this, it had now jumped to ten out of ten. "You cunning
bastard, still trying to act like you're the good guy. In that case, tell everyone whose decision it was. You must have
spent every penny you had on bribes."
Jovan smiled and said no more. Instead, he looked over at several board members.
The oldest one among them was Barry Brown.
His father had served under General Everheart on the battlefield and later assisted General Everheart in founding
the H Group. He also joined the H Group and was one of the six members of the board of directors. He had always
been loyal to Stefan and held a high position in the company.
But today, he did not behave as he usually did. He told Alexander," Alexander, since you've already retired, you
shouldn't interfere in the H Group's decisions anymore. You have plenty of shares, so just sit back and wait for the
dividends."
‘There are a lot of reporters here today. Be more considerate of the H Group's image. How can you, as an elder,
argue with your nephew like this? It's unsightly. Sit down and stop making a fool out of yourself."
Alexander snorted and said, "Barry Brown, now that's a surprise. You used to be the Uncle Barry that Stefan trusted
and respected the most. He entrusted you with so many important business matters, but now you..."
'Things are different now. Pursuing benefits and avoiding harm are merely animal instincts. I merely made the most
logical choice. There's no use trying to persuade me. It wouldn't change anything."
The conversation between them conveyed a large amount of information. Watching from below the stage, Renee
was initially angered, but she then sighed with emotion.

"These things are normal. Even lizards would sever their tail to survive. Humans have to learn to protect
themselves too. Stefan is already a thing of the past. You would be a fool to still remain in Stefan's faction."
Xavier said without much emotion.
Renee became even angrier. "I don't agree with your nonsense. If you have to pick a side in order to survive too,
would you betray Stefan and choose to collude with a villain like Jovan?"
Xavier shrugged with a smile. "It's hard to say. I've never been in such a situation before, so I'm not sure what I
would do.”
"Hmph, Stefan would be stirring in his grave if he knew that. If it were me, once I chose someone, I would always
be loyal to them and I would never betray them, even if it might endanger my life!"
"Are you feeling indignant on Stefan's behalf? Of course you're taking your husband's side... Looks like you still have
feelings for him. If he knew, he would definitely feel so happy that he would come back to life."
Xavier joked.
