Chapter 973 Feeling Proud and Elated Raymond leaned back with a smirk, "Oh really? Then why don't you all act it out for me?" The executive quickly rounded up the others who'd been wronged alongside him these past few days, and they all started mimicking the triumphant poses of the earlier group.
Someone clapped until their hands were red.
Someone bragged about sending Selena to the Sky Gallery.
Someone said Raymond deserved jail time.
Raymond's face stayed indifferent. As the execs put on their show, the rest of the room felt too ashamed to even look up, their bodies trembling. The applause sounded more like a death knell to them. Their faces turned ghostly pale with fear.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOne guy even dropped to his knees on the cold floor, pleading, "Raymond, we didn't mean it. We were all just misled by Elbert. We actually support you as the CEO, and there's a special team investigating William's case now. If it has nothing to do with you, then Elbert must be framing you. We were all deceived by him." The guy was rambling, just trying to distance himself from the mess. But could he really clear himself of responsibility? When Raymond heard about sending Selena to the Sky Gallery to be a hostess, the faint smile on his face turned icy, and his eyes narrowed. "It's a bit late for you all to say this now." The man stammered, "Raymond, we are at least your elders. Can you give us another chance?" Raymond's gaze turned cold, "From now on, your monthly expenses are capped at four thousand dollars. If you go over, you're out of the Montague family." He didn't cut them off completely because William was still alive, and he didn't want him to be lonely in his old age.
Plus, even though these people weren't very capable, sof them and their kids made William happy.
If they left, the whole Montague family would be an empty shell.
Everyone's faces lit up with relief. Four thousand dollars was peanuts compared to their usual tens of thousands, but getting off the hook was a huge win.
So they quickly agreed and left the Montague Group, scared Raymond might change his mind.
Only Grace stayed behind. She didn't leave, just stared at Raymond.
Raymond didn't look at her, his eyes on the documents in his hand.
Grace's face was flushed, feeling utterly humiliated.
After a long time, she finally said hoarsely, "Carter supports you. At least for his sake." Raymond said indifferently, "It's too late for you to say this now." Grace started trembling all over, but knowing that pleading was useless, she left with trembling lips.
In an instant, only the executives were left in the conference room.
After dealing with the Montague family members, it was tto deal with these execs.
Two-thirds of the people supported Raymond, but one-third had already sided with Elbert. These folks were originally planted in the group as spies by other Montague family members. Previously, Raymond could turn a blind eye to them, not bothering to deal with them.

Those executives who supported Elbert quickly spoke up, "Mr. Montague, rest assured, we will submit our resignation letters immediately and never step into the Montague Group again." "Mr. Montague, we won't stay to trouble you." "Yes, the Montague Group will definitely develop better without us." As soon as these people spoke, the senior execs who supported Raymond unceremoniously began to mock them.
But they had to endure it, fearing that saying the wrong thing would anger Raymond.
Raymond didn't say anything but stood up. "John, you handle this."
John nodded, escorted him to the conference room door, then returned and said to the senior execs whion supported Elbert, "You have one hour to submit your resignation letters. As for the others, your year-end bonus will be increased by six hundred thousand dollars." Elbert had just rewarded his supporters with a two hundred thousand dollar year-end bonus.
Now Raymond was upping it to six hundred thousand dollars.
Cheers erupted in the conference room, and someone even clapped mischievously, shouting, "Don't let the door hit you on the way out!" "Haha, yeah, see yourself out!" "After a week of pent-up anger, we finally got to vent, haha."
Even though the execs were all over forty, this turnaround made them feel the joy of getting candy as kids.
