The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 325 - Brazen Impostor

Chapter 325 - Brazen Impostor

"What? Fired?!"

As soon as everyone heard William's decision, their eyes widened in disbelief.

He wants to dismiss half of the senior executives, including the deputy general manager, Adrian Hill, all at once?!

That's too exaggerated!

Staring at William in disbelief, Adrian suddenly sneered. "William Carter, what nonsense are you spouting? Your position is only one level higher than mine, and you haven't even secured a foothold in this company yet. What right do you have to fire me?"

"On the basis that I'm senior to you and that I'm the general manager of the Solar Corporation, who has to be fully responsible for all the company's affairs! Since you don't want to obey my decisions, and you insist on going against me all the time, you people will only be unnecessary scourges of the company if I continue to let you stay. Am I supposed to be subservient to you instead of firing you?" William retorted hostilely.

Since these people had openly stood out to oppose his leaders.h.i.+p, there was no need for him to be kind to them.

Adrian and the others instantly choked in shock. They wanted to use this method to manipulate William, but they didn't expect him to suppress them using his position as the general manager.

But they thought, Who does William Carter think he is? How dare he dismiss so many of us at once?

"William Carter, you must have gone mad from being obsessed with being the general manager. We're all pillars of the company and long-tenured employees. It can be said that all of the achievements that the company has made in Orange County couldn't have been possible without us! Without us, the company will immediately fall into jeopardy! Can you afford to be responsible for this?

"Besides, we refuse to comply with you, so your dismissal has no effect! If you have the guts, come with us to see the chairman at headquarters, and we'll see who's going to be dismissed!" Adrian said adamantly and aggressively.

Given his personal qualifications and the contributions he had made to the company, he was certain that William would be the one who got dismissed once they got the higher-ups of headquarters involved.

"Exactly, without the chairman's approval, we won't leave the company! Who do you think you are?!"

"That's right. If you have what it takes, let's all go to the chairman and let him decide who's fired and kicked out of the company!"

The few senior executives standing on Adrian's side voiced their refusal to comply too.

William looked at these people and suddenly said, "Will you leave immediately once the chairman agrees?"

"Hmph, of course! Well, you have to get the chairman's approval before anything else!" Adrian said sneeringly with folded arms.

"Okay then." William immediately turned around and looked at Lucas beside him. He said seriously, "Mr. Chairman, can I dismiss them now?"

Lucas, who had watched the entire process from the side, naturally nodded. "They're arrogant, unbridled, sn.o.bbish, presumptuous, disrespectful, and defiant toward their superior. They're only going to be the scourges of the company if they stay behind. Of course they have to be dismissed!"

Adrian, Jimmy, and the rest were indeed astonished when they heard William calling Lucas the chairman.

But when they saw that the person standing opposite them was just a young man of around 27 or 28 years old, they simply felt that it was absurd.

"Hahahaha, William Carter, do you take us for fools? You found a random person to come here with you and tried to use him to deceive us. You must be dreaming! I can say that I'm the chairman's father. Would you believe me?"

The others immediately burst into laughter.

They were all aware that the Solar Corporation branch in Orange County was now under the Stardust Corporation. The chairman of the Stardust Corporation had always been very mysterious, and very few people had seen him in person.

But no matter what, he was still a big shot. While Lucas, the young man dressed in ordinary clothes in front of them, had been following behind William ever since he entered. They felt that it was impossible that he was the chairman of the Stardust Corporation.

Lucas narrowed his eyes threateningly as he exuded a cold aura.

But Adrian didn't detect the danger. He was now smiling smugly, as if he was holding a powerful piece of evidence against William.

"Haha, how dare you impersonate the chairman of the Stardust Corporation? You two are dead meat!" Adrian pulled out his cell phone impatiently and tapped on Flynn's number.

"Mr. Davis, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm Adrian, the deputy general manager of the Solar Corporation branch in Orange County. Just a short while ago, William Carter, the newly appointed general manager who joined us just a few days ago, brought a young man in his twenties with him to the office and tried to deceive us by making the young man pretend to be the chairman of the Stardust Corporation. He even misused the chairman's authority to dismiss us and kick us out of the company!

"This is absolutely intolerable. What do you say we should do about this?"

Flynn, who was still dealing with the work at hand in LA, was initially rather patient as he listened to what Adrian, the deputy general manager of a mere branch office, had to say. But after hearing everything, he received a great shock and sprung up from his chair in the office.

"What did you say?!" Flynn hollered furiously.

Adrian thought that Flynn was also enraged by the fact that someone had the audacity to pretend to be the chairman of the Stardust Corporation and a.s.sume his authority to dismiss the old-tenured employees. So he glanced at William and Lucas provocatively before explaining everything once more with additional details that he made up.

Afterward, he asked fawningly, "Mr. Davis, should I immediately call the police and have both of them arrested?"

"Obviously no!" Flynn's deafening roar came from Adrian's phone, and it was so loud that even those a couple of meters away could hear the obvious anger in Flynn's tone.

The deafening roar of fury immediately made the smile on the face of Adrian, who was waiting to claim credit, stiffen.

The rest of the people on his side also seemed bewildered and anxious.

At this moment, Flynn was almost frightened and angered to death by Adrian's words!

Flynn knew that William was Lucas's father-in-law, and he was also the one who informed his subordinates to announce the news of William being appointed as the general manager of the Solar Corporation's branch office in Orange County.

The young man in his twenties standing beside William that Adrian Hill mentioned is definitely Lucas!

Impersonate the chairman my foot. He's the actual chairman!

Based on the tone of Adrian Hill's voice, he must have offended Lucas terribly, and that must be why he's getting the sack!

Yet this idiot had the audacity to come complaining to me?

He even said that someone impersonated the chairman of the Stardust Corporation and is trying to throw the company into jeopardy?

This is absurd. The Stardust Corporation isn't that incompetent!

After not hearing Flynn respond for a long time, Adrian bit the bullet and asked, "Mr… Mr. Davis?"

He was confused as to why Flynn hollered at him just now!

"You dimwit! That young man is indeed the chairman of the Stardust Corporation, and he has the final say! If you dare to offend him, I'll get someone to kill you immediately! Do you hear me?!"

Flynn's deafening voice penetrated through the phone, making Adrian's eardrums tremble. Everyone else standing around also heard it clearly.

In an instant, everyone seemed to be in extreme disbelief as they merely stood in place and stared at Lucas with a deadpan expression.

In particular, Adrian and the six senior executives beside him had exceptionally interesting expressions.
