Everyone was taken aback. No one expected William Cole to utter such words.
"William Cole! Stand right there!"
Kirk Cole angrily stood up, shouting at William Cole's departing figure.
But William Cole turned a deaf ear, continuing to walk towards the exit.
Kirk Cole was furious.
He thought that William Cole would beg for mercy, speak softly, and even demean himself by begging Kirk Cole to spare the Northern China Business Association. Kirk Cole had even considered the possibility that William refused to compromise and chose a head-on confrontation.
Even so, Kirk Cole had a hundred ways to take down William Cole.
What Kirk Cole had never anticipated was that William Cole would claim that he was ill. And audaciously claim that he would face a life-threatening crisis within three days? What a joke!
At this thought, Kirk Cole felt his head aflame.
The next second, everyone looked at Kirk Cole in horror.
