Stefan was too proud to admit defeat in this battle between men. Like Renee, he usually faced trouble head-on, and would keep fighting no matter what it cost him.

�Jovan, what is it you want?� He turned towards Jovan and asked sharply. Stefan knew this day would have come sooner or later. Jovan had compromised for so many years, waiting for the day Stefan would admit defeat. Stefan had not expected him to make his move now, and was somewhat curious as to what he was planning.

�Good, Stefan. I knew you were a man of integrity, and that�s why you�ve always been my role model since we were kids�� Jovan cracked a fake smile. �I didn�t come here alone. The eight members of the board of directors will be here soon. They�re very worried about your safety, so they hired a professional medical investigation team to evaluate your health.�

�A professional medical investigation team?� Stefan scoffed coldly. �It�s all just a pretence, isn�t it? Everything�s already been decided.�

�Stefan, why would you say that? The directors sincerely care about your health because the future of H Group lies in your hands. Nothing will go wrong��

Jovan held his hands out, looking remorseful. �Well, you know the rules of H Group��

Renee frowned and asked quickly, �What rules?�

�You�re close to Stefan, so I�m surprised you don�t know this. There�s a rule in H Group stating that whoever takes over the company must be physically healthy and have full civil power. If not, a new leader will be selected from the legal heirs.�

�So, you did all this to prove that he doesn�t have full civil power so you can replace him as the legal heir of H Group?� Renee sneered.

�No need to paint me as a villain, Renee, I�m just worried about my dear cousin�s health. As for whether I have to replace him as the head of H Group, it depends on the board of directors. I am just a pawn in their hands.� Jovan shrugged casually, his eyes glinting.

�Yes, clearly you�re innocent in all this,� Renee scoffed sarcastically, infuriated by Jovan�s words.

On the contrary, Stefan was very calm. He said expressionlessly, �That is indeed the rule of H Group. As the current leader of H Group, I have to set an example. If the board of directors makes a decision, I cannot say anything about it.�

�How very open-minded of you.� Jovan revealed a smug smile, delighted that his plan was falling into place.

At that moment, the eight members of the board of directors of H Group arrived with the medical investigation team.

Some of the directors were Stefan�s supporters, while some maintained a neutral stand.

However, all of them had only one goal in mind right now, and that was to confirm that

Stefan was blind and had brain damage like the rumours said. If it was true, they would have to vote him out for the sake of H Group�s future regardless of whether they were Stefan�s supporters or not. Undeniably, Jovan�s plan was working.

�Mr. Hunt, thank goodness we finally found you.� One of the directors, Leo Sanders, had always been loyal to Stefan.

When he saw that Stefan was safe and healthy, he burst into tears and said to the other directors, �I told you that the rumours were rubbish! Mr. Hunt is just tired so he came to Greenwood Sanatorium to relax for a while. He�s not blind or has brain damage. They�re just rumours!�

�How absurd! The people who spread rumours have gone too far. How could they curse Mr. Hunt like that? He�s clearly fine and healthy. What is the PR department of H Group doing? They should have issued lawyer letters to those who spread the rumours!� JrNovels.com
