After receiving the folder, Butler Martinez nodded at the middle-aged man. The tough middle-aged man immediately saluted Butler Martinez and walked out of the meeting room as if there was no one else around.
"Pa!"
After the middle-aged man left, Butler Martinez didn't open the folder he had just received to see what was inside. Instead, he directly threw the folder on the table in front of Jack Ferguson in front of everyone. Then, he said faintly to Jack Ferguson, who had fallen into silence, "Mr. Ferguson, Mr. Ferguson.
'Jack, if I'm not mistaken, it's your birthday in five days. This is the birthday present I prepared for you, but since you've convened the family elders' meeting, I'll pass this present to you in advance while everyone is present! '
"Jack, you can choose to take this present home and see it now, or you can choose to show it to everyone here. I'll give you one minute. I hope you can make a choice that won't disappoint me or yourself!"
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Before Butler Martinez could finish his words, Jack Ferguson's expression changed abruptly. Although Butler Martinez didn't say clearly what the birthday present in the file bag was, everyone, including Jack Ferguson, was a shrewd person who could become a senior member of the Ferguson Family. Who didn't understand what was in the folder that Butler Martinez took out under such circumstances?
There was no doubt that the folder contained something that could be used against Jack Ferguson!
Butler Martinez had long expected that Jack Ferguson would challenge him on the issue of Connor inheriting the position of the head of the family during the family elders' meeting today, so he had already prepared for it. Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Old ginger was spicier than young ginger. The family elders' meeting that Jack Ferguson had painstakingly prepared for had become a trap that he had spun himself into.
Now, the situation was simple. Since Butler Martinez didn't take out the folder, it meant that he was willing to give Jack Ferguson a chance. If Jack Ferguson was willing to give in, the folder in front of him might really be his birthday present. However, if he continued to be stubborn, the folder in front of him might become a bomb that could blow him into pieces!
Staring at the folder on the table in front of him, Jack Ferguson's heart was filled with bitterness and regret. He thought that he was willing to give up part of the power of the family to Bernardo and Domenech, and with their support, he would be able to defeat Martinez in the family elders' meeting and become the new head of the Ferguson family, which was also the new Earl Ferguson. That was why he was so arrogant at the beginning of the meeting and dared to covet the position of the head of the family in front of so many people!
However, to his astonishment, Domenech and Bernardo, who had promised him that they'd support him to fight against Martinez last night, were defeated by Martinez with a few words in the meeting. They didn't even dare to say a word now.
As the seconds ticked by, Jack Ferguson sighed in his heart. He didn't doubt that Martinez was trying to trick him by taking out the folder. What was inside wasn't something that could be used against him!
Jack Ferguson clearly knew what he had done. With Martinez's power in the Ferguson family, he would be able to find some clues as long as he put in some effort.
In addition, Jack Ferguson also knew that Martinez could have found him with this folder before the meeting. With this information, Martinez could have stopped today's meeting from happening. However, this old man didn't do so. Instead, he waited until now to throw the folder in front of him in front of so many people!
Martinez's purpose in doing this was to slap his own face in front of all the family elders! He wanted to make him admit his mistake in front of all the elders of the family and let him do whatever he wanted. At the same time, he wanted to use him as a warning to all the elders of the family that if anyone dared to disobey him in the future, they would end up like him!
Although Jack Ferguson knew Martinez's plan, he didn't think of any way to resist. After a moment of silence, when there were only ten seconds left before the one-minute time limit given by Martinez, he walked out of his seat under the watchful eyes of the family elders in the conference room. He came to the side of Martinez, then bowed deeply to the old steward who had served the Ferguson family for decades, and said, "Steward Martinez! "Mr. Martinez, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. "Hearing Jack Ferguson's apology, Martinez, who was sitting in his seat, didn't change his expression. He didn't say anything, and just let Jack Ferguson keep bowing beside him.
Seeing that Martinez didn't say anything, Jack Ferguson, who was still bowing, naturally understood that Martinez was humiliating him in front of everyone. However, even though his heart was bleeding, Jack Ferguson didn't dare to take the initiative to straighten up.
After letting Jack Ferguson bow beside him for nearly half a minute, Martinez said faintly, "When you go back later, take a good look at the gift I gave you. Take a look at the good things you have done in the family!"
Although Butler Martinez's voice was flat, it was like a clap of thunder in Jack Ferguson's ears. After a few seconds of silence, he stood up, lowered his head, and said to Martinez, "I understand. I'll look at it carefully when I get back!"
Seeing that Jack Ferguson had given in, Martinez coughed softly and waved his hand. Jack Ferguson immediately picked up the folder on the table and sat back in his seat. Unlike the insolence ten minutes ago, Jack Ferguson, who had returned to his seat, lowered his head and remained silent like a defeated rooster.
Although Jack Ferguson was miserable at this time, Martinez didn't seem to want to let him go. He cleared his throat and looked around at all the family elders in the meeting room. Wherever he looked, no one dared to look at him directly. They all lowered their heads to show their respect.
