Alyssa's booming voice delivered a great shock to the meeting attendees. Her confidence and imposing air reminded them of Winston Taylor.
Dominic, whose legs were shaking uncontrollably, mustered his courage and slammed his hand on the table. He rose in anger to face off against Alyssa. "Alyssa Taylor, you have no right to sack me, even if you're the daughter of the chairman and the company president!
"Are you treating the board of directors meeting as your personal playground? You're out of control. You'll need to start a vote to remove me from my roles!"
He had taken a jab at Alyssa's previous remark of him treating the company as his private bank.
Alyssa thought him petty and snorted. "Yeah, right. That's why I convened this meeting to discuss your matter."
As Edward was Dominic's business partner-he had even been forced to invest in the two hotels-he could not possibly watch Dominic go down. Once again, he took Dominic's side. He began, "Alyssa..."
"She's Ms. Alyssa for you." Sean shot a frosty look at Edward.
Edward nearly choked. He quickly changed his way of address. "M-Ms. Alyssa, Dominic has made many sacrifices for the company over the years, and we bore witness to that.
"Besides, Dominic is your uncle and Winston's brother. He's family. To be honest, the misappropriation of funds isn't that big of an issue.
"Since Mr. Winston has settled the matter, it shows that he wants to put
everything behind him. If the public learns about this, that will negatively impact KS Group and the Taylors."
Alyssa put on a look of derision. "Oh, is it not that big of an issue? Fine, Mr. Bates. How about you pay up on Mr. Dominic's behalf?"
Edward looked upset when he heard the provocation.
"Dismissing Mr. Dominic from his company roles is me being kind because I consider him my uncle. Otherwise, he would be speaking to the police by now." Wiping away her smile, she warned, "I don't need anyone to worry about my family's reputation.
"All I have done is to rid the company of problematic employees on Dad's behalf. Even if this gets out, anyone with a moral compass will agree that I've done the right thing.
"They will perceive the upper management of KS Group as being fair and strict, as we are willing to take action against the family. If everyone here wants the best for the company, you will have to rid the company of problematic individuals."
The directors went silent. Edward looked stone-faced after Alyssa took subtle jabs at him for being evil and a bad judge of character.
"You don't have the final say in dismissing me." Dominic again tried to use Winston as his shield in a shameless attempt to save himself. "I'll call Winston and meet him. Your opinion doesn't matter!" Right after that, Sean interjected furiously in a low but intimidating voice, "Mr. Dominic, you cannot throw a fit at the board of directors meeting. Besides, Ms. Alyssa has the right to preside over meetings and make important decisions on Mr. Winston's behalf while he recovers.
"We are proceeding according to the rules of the charter. Are you against Mr. Winston's decision, or do you hold no respect for Ms. Alyssa at all?"
"You're just a secretary! You have no right to raise your voice at me!" Dominic pointed a finger at Sean with a vicious scorn on his face. At that moment, he did not behave like an esteemed director of a company or a member of a reputable, wealthy family. He looked more like a leader of a gang.
