My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！-Chapter 298 - 297
Chapter 297
The head of the project department was bewildered.
….
It was actually the latest research plan for Hydrogen Fuel!
He immediately snatched the project book from Keira’s hands and began to read.
The project book didn’t detail the specific content of the research, but the topic was hot, something all companies wanted to engage in but were blocked by technological and capability barriers.
He flipped through a few more pages, then became excited. “You’ve already developed results?”
Keira nodded. “Indeed.”
The project department head was instantly thrilled, and he eagerly grabbed Wayne’s arm, whispering, “Mr. Davis, our company must not sever ties with Keera Technology! You have no idea how rare this project is! Right now, many are desperate to break through this technology…”
Before he could finish, Wayne frowned and interrupted coldly, “Brian, are you confused? Have you also been bought by these two?”
Director Brian immediately waved his hands. “How could that be, Mr. Davis, don’t say that!”
“Then why are you speaking on their behalf? A breach is a breach! Davis Corporation has always been fair and just, and we won’t bend the law for personal gain! They must compensate the twenty million!”
Director Brian panicked. “Mr. Davis, you don’t understand. The value of this plan in my hands far exceeds twenty million! Currently, no one on the market has solved this problem! If other companies found out, they would surely rush to pay the twenty million for her!”
Wayne didn’t believe it, thinking he was making a mountain out of a molehill. “Keera Technology is just a small company. Where did they get such an excellent plan? If they had the capability to develop it, then we surely have it too! At worst, we’ll spend twenty million to poach their entire research department!”
Today, Wayne had made up his mind to teach Mary a lesson.
There was no other choice.
This niece of his was extremely pretty; if she could obediently assist him in socializing in the future, there wouldn’t be a man in Clance who could resist her charm!
Director Brian was anxious. “Mr. Davis, this plan might not have been developed by their research department. Their core team has resigned, and they haven’t even hired new people yet… The only one who can solve this bottleneck is Dr. South, currently available on the market.”
Wayne scoffed. “Don’t exaggerate here. How can it only be Dr. South? Didn’t Keera come up with it? Brian, in this matter today, we absolutely must not show favoritism. She must be treated severely!”
“But…”
“There’s nothing to discuss!”
Wayne banged the gavel, then looked at Mary, his lips curving into a smile that smacked of victory. “Mary, this is just a lesson for you. If you disobey, your best friend could be completely ruined. And if there is a next time, it could be your father, mother, or even your grandmother who gets hurt!”
Mary clenched her fists. “You…”
Wayne turned to Director Brian. “What are you dawdling for? Call security and have these two thrown out!”
Director Brian reluctantly looked at the plan in his hands. He wanted to speak, but Wayne immediately glared at him. “What are you looking at? If you don’t obey, do you believe I can also kick you out?!”
Director Brian believed it.
Wayne was now the person in charge of the second branch of the family, and to show that the first branch didn’t resent the second branch entirely, the company had given Wayne a high position.
Therefore, Wayne had a lot of say in the company.
He furrowed his brows tightly, but finally couldn’t help saying, “Shouldn’t we consult Director Davis about this?”
Ken Davis, the chairman and the person in charge of Davis Corporation, was from the first branch of the family and Wayne’s elder brother.
Wayne sneered. “Brian, it seems you really don’t know your place, do you? Does such a small matter need to bother my brother? I’m beginning to seriously doubt that you’re in league with them. Since you’re so ungrateful, submit your resignation immediately!”
Director Brian’s expression turned bitter. He tried to explain, “Mr. Davis, I…”
“What about you? Don’t try to pressure me with my brother! You think I’m scared of him?!”
Wayne picked up the phone and dialed HR. “HR? Process Mary and Brian’s resignation immediately. Also, notify the legal department to expedite the lawsuit against Keera Technology with the court!” Hearing this, Director Brian’s face turned pale.
Mary immediately stepped forward. “Uncle, you…”
“Is this a place for you to speak?! Mary, you should know that whether it’s in the company or at home, the more power you have, the more say you get! Without capability, all you can do is obey!”
Wayne approached Mary and pinched her chin. “And another thing… women must understand their worth. Do you think that by entering the research department you can become a scientist? I advise you to obediently go home and be your decorative vase!”
Mary tried to break free from his grip, but her chin was pinched painfully, and she glared hatefully at Wayne.
Keira immediately stepped forward. “Let go!”
She pushed Wayne away, freeing Mary from his grasp, then looked at her chin. “Mary, are you alright?”
Before, Keira thought Mary was carefree every day and believed she was just a simple-minded young lady. She had no idea her family situation was so complicated!
She brought an even better solution to discuss a partnership, all the while aiming to get Davis Corporation to drop the lawsuit. Yet, she hadn’t accomplished her goal!
She scoffed and took Mary by the arm, facing Wayne. “Are you sure you don’t want the plan, then? If that’s the case, I’ll seek other companies to partner with, and you’ll regret it!”
Wayne sneered again. “A worthless plan and you still want to talk about a partnership with other companies?! A project worth billions—think I’ll regret it! What kind of grand claims are you making here?!”
Keira looked down. “Alright, Mary, let’s go.”
She could take the plan to other corporations and demand a price in the hundreds of millions; it would be doable because conquering this challenge would lead to many collaborative opportunities! It would place the corporation’s new energy ventures far ahead of other corporations! The benefits it would bring in the future couldn’t even be measured in billions. Anyone who knew a bit about technology would understand this very clearly.
That was why Director Brian kept pleading with Wayne, but to no avail. Wayne even fired him!
Director Brian didn’t pack up his things but followed the two women out.
Meanwhile, Ellis’s car had already arrived at the corporation’s building. Ken, a middle-aged man around fifty with a refined and scholarly air, personally came down to welcome Ellis into the building after he got out of the car.
