Will James was almost paralyzed upon hearing this voice.
This voice was so familiar to him!
Half a year ago, he could hear it almost every day at the Group!
This was the voice of Samuel Thompson!
The founder of the Summit Group!
The one who had the final say in the entire Summit Group!
However, later, because Samuel Thompson had an incurable disease, he never appeared in the Group again.
All the Group's directors believed that the Summit Group would soon be caught up in a battle for inheritance and that the position of president would likely be taken over by Samuel Thompson's children!
As for his position as the The Head Financial Officer, it was entirely earned through his father!
At that time, the Group was already in panic, and his father pushed him into the spotlight in order to secure more shares.
He was well aware that with his own abilities, he wouldn't have been able to secure this position!
Now that the rightful owner had appeared, his back was already drenched.
He slowly turned around, and upon seeing the man in the traditional Chinese outfit in front of him, he lost all strength!
It really was Samuel Thompson!
Wasn't he dead? How could he be alive again!
Is he a man or a ghost!
"Old Sam... what brings you here... I heard you were ill?"
He changed from his previous arrogance, positioning himself in the lowest posture, with a hint of flattery in his smile.
Samuel Thompson coldly snorted, "Humph! If I didn't come, some people would destroy my lifelong efforts!"
Will James's smile froze, but he still reached out and said politely, "Old Sam, you're kidding again. By the way, did you come here for an inspection of the Armani cooperation?"
He thought that outside, Samuel Thompson would give him some face, but unexpectedly Samuel directly slapped his hand away with a "bang!".
Then walked towards another direction.
Standing there were only three people.
David Johnson, Sarah Moore, and Kimberly Gibson.
Sarah Moore and Kimberly Gibson were a bit bewildered, wondering why the chairman of Summit Group would suddenly show up here?
Could it be to back Will James?
Kimberly Gibson saw Samuel Thompson walking towards her and mistakenly thought he was there to comfort her, immediately feeling somewhat honored, and rushed towards Samuel in small steps:
"Old Sam, I often hear Will talk about you, you really didn't need to come personally. These two guys, we can handle them, I'll have my family come over later, they won't be able to escape!"
After speaking, Kimberly Gibson gave Sarah Moore a vicious glare.
As if to say, this is power! This is status! You will never understand, you poor thing!
Sarah Moore's legs trembled slightly, she knew things had truly escalated, she never imagined Samuel Thompson himself would step in.
Once Summit Group declares them unwelcome in Brooksdale, she and David Johnson would truly be unable to survive.
While everyone was tacitly understanding what was going on, Samuel Thompson bypassed Kimberly Gibson and walked straight up to me, completely changing his usual stern demeanor, wearing a smile, and respectfully said to me, "Mr. Johnson, you have been hard to find. If you hadn't appeared, I might have been done for."
Samuel Thompson's words left the entire scene in deadly silence, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard!
Everyone's eyes were wide open!
Because Samuel Thompson's tone was actually humble!
As if he were trying to please me!
Moreover, he used an honorific!
Mr. Johnson!
You!
How could such a prominent figure address a young man like this?
And Samuel Thompson had been looking for David Johnson all along? He would die without finding David? That's too exaggerated.
"Gulp!"
This scene shook Sarah Moore to her core beside David Johnson, her face full of amazement, swallowing hard, utterly frozen on the spot.
She stared fixedly at David Johnson! She couldn't believe what was happening before her very eyes!
Wasn't this guy only just arrived in Brooksdale? How could he know someone as influential as Samuel Thompson?
What's key was that he could make such a person speak so humbly?
At this moment, she felt that David Johnson was shrouded in a layer of mist that she couldn't see through.
Kimberly Gibson instinctively stepped back, even rubbing her eyes to prove she hadn't imagined things.
But reality had slapped her hard in the face!
"How could this guy know Samuel Thompson? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Everyone was waiting for my reaction, only my reaction could explain everything!
After a few seconds, I finally looked at Samuel Thompson and said, "I offered the Thompson family a chance back then, it was you who did not cherish it!"
Samuel Thompson couldn't believe how tough I was being, cautiously saying, "Mr. Johnson, it's my fault for poor management, please wait, I will have that ungrateful brat come to apologize!"
After speaking, Samuel suddenly turned around and yelled at a man in the corner, "Sean! Get over here right now! Apologize to me!"
Butler Sean, though feeling humiliated, couldn't do anything but step out after this rebuke, standing before David Johnson, head down, not saying a word.
"Kneel down and apologize to me!"
Butler Sean clenched his fists, full of anger, but still with a "thud!" sound, knelt down!
"Mr. Johnson, I was wrong that day, please forgive me!"
He had to kneel, if not! He would surely die!
Seeing Butler Sean kneel, Will James was utterly shocked from a distance.
He knew Butler Sean's character all too well, as they had practically grown up together!
Butler Sean had never submitted to anyone, let alone kneel!
But now, how does one explain this?
His gaze slowly moved to David Johnson, suddenly having a bad premonition.
It seemed he had overplayed his hand, and offended a true magnate!
Could that guy possibly be from Northridge Province? Or perhaps an even larger family?
If that's the case, then he's finished too!
Thinking of this, Will James's legs were trembling.
And as for me, the person in question, I merely glanced indifferently at the kneeling Butler Sean before him without making any comment, instead patting the still-shocked Sarah Moore and saying, "Let's go, the third floor is women's clothing, let's pick some for you, today, I've got money!"
After speaking, I left both Butler Sean and Samuel Thompson standing in place and led Sarah Moore away.
The store clerk felt somewhat boggled; she had seen countless arrogant people, but at this moment, she found no one was as brazen as this man before her!
Who exactly was this man?
She couldn't imagine anyone in Brooksdale being more powerful than Samuel Thompson.
After David Johnson left, Samuel Thompson finally reacted, his face darkened, and gave his son a hard kick.
"Look at what you've done! Today, if Mr. Johnson doesn't nod, don't even think about getting up."
After that, he turned to Will James and furiously scolded, "Will James, did you offend Mr. Johnson just now? Martinez't think I don't know about the antics you and your father pulled! Pack your things and get out today, and your father Carl James! Even if I die, I won't let you get a single share of the company! Get out!"
Having seemingly vented, Samuel Thompson took a few deep breaths and pursued after David Johnson.
The rest wanted to follow, but Samuel Thompson directly swore, "No one follow me! You useless lot!"
