My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 607 - 189: A Slap



Ken was not one to wait around; he got straight down to business. So after his conversation with Diana, he gathered a few of his bodyguard friends and drove to Chapman's factory.

As a man who got himself into some tricky situations, sometimes, Chapman also had bodyguards that he kept with him for protection. However, they were all rather unprofessional. When they faced the group of menacing figures Ken had gathered, they were unable to put up much of a fight.

After Chapman's guards were all knocked out, he was terrified. He retreated back into his office chair and asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you?"

Ken glanced at one of his guys, who proceeded to take Chapman by his collar and drag him forward to where Ken was standing.

"What are you going to do?" Chapman was full of fear now, his usual bravado long gone.

The bodyguard kicked him in the stomach and made him keel at Ken's feet.

Back when Brian took over the company, most people had refused to obey him; he was young, and they had no idea about his ability.

It was Ken who had helped him to conquer the company, so clearly, he was not as kind as he looked.

With a gloomy expression on his face, Ken looked Chapman up and down.

"What is the relationship between you and Kyle William?" he asked in a cold voice.

Chapman wanted to conceal his panic and tried to defend himself.

"What? I don't even know him."

The more one tries to hide, the more one is exposed. That was what Chapman did. It annoyed Ken. He said again, in a more threatening manner, "I will say this once more. And you'd better tell the truth this time. What is the relationship between you and Kyle William?"

Chapman was scared by Kyle's icy tone.

"Nothing special, we just do business together."

His dishonesty drove Ken into a great rage. He grabbed the gun from one of the bodyguards, pointed it at Chapman's head, and yelled, "I told you to tell me the truth!"

"I'm sorry! Take it easy, please!" Chapman was trembling. Finally, he told Ken everything.

In the company, Kyle was sitting in his office, having an intense conversation with someone.

"Mr. William, it's Ken, he went to see Chapman," the man reported.

Kyle gave no reply, and his facial expression was completely blank.

The man added, "Chapman is weak. He will reveal everything. I think we need to make some preparations."

Kyle finally replied impatiently, "So what? Brian had his accident and is lying on his sickbed. He may never wake up. We don't have to be afraid any longer."

The man chuckled, "I don't think you should underestimate his fiancée, Diana."

Kyle glared at the man and growled, "It's none of your business. I will deal with Diana."

"Mr. William, you'd better not let me down," the man grunted before swiftly departing.

In the hospital, Diana was giving Brian a light wash, dabbing him lovingly with a damp cloth. She chatted away to him as she worked as if he could hear her.

"Brian, I had a check-up for the baby today. The doctor said that everything is fine and the baby is healthy."

Suddenly she felt Brian's finger move. She stared at him in shock. Was he about to wake up? However, after waiting several seconds, he was still lying there without any reaction. Diana cursed her stupidity for thinking she had felt something.

Someone knocked at the door. Diana wiped her tears and answered, "Come in, please."

It was Ken. He said to Diana in a low voice, "Chapman has confessed."

This was positive news, but she didn't want to disturb Brian, though she was not sure if he was even aware of anything.

"Let's go outside to discuss."

Ken nodded and walked out with Diana.

They went to a coffee shop next to the hospital, and Ken proceeded to tell Diana what Chapman had revealed.

"Did he tell you how Brian had his accident?"

"Sorry, Diana. I tried various techniques, but he insisted he had no idea about it."

"But he told you that he cooperated with Kyle to transfer the company funds, didn't he?"

"Yes, he did." Ken nodded.

It reminded Diana of the object she picked up in the car. Maybe that was the evidence. Maybe that was why Brian had his accident.

"Ken, I want to meet Kyle," Diana decided out loud.

"Diana, I don't think that's a good idea. If you go to meet him without any preparation, he will suspect you."

"Then what should we do?" Diana's distressed tone conveyed her anxiety about the situation.

"I will handle it. Don't you worry about that," Ken promised with conviction.

Diana had no choice but to agree to his plan.

As they were discussing what to do, Ken received a call.

"What? I will be there at once." Ken was shocked by what he had been told and got up to leave.

"What happened?" asked Diana, who was made nervous by Ken's reaction.

"There is a problem at the company," he said, as he headed outside. Diana followed him.

When they arrived at the company's meeting room, they found that Kyle was sitting in Brian's chair.

At seeing Ken march into the office, Kyle chuckled.

"Ken, it's nice that you are here now. I have gathered the company directors for a meeting. As we do not know if, or even when Brian will wake up, I am putting myself forward to run the company."

Kyle smiled with the kind of certainty one can only have in a rigged game.

Having heard enough, Diana then entered the room to stand beside Ken. Staring at Kyle, she said in an outraged voice, "Brian is only in a coma, he will wake up soon. And you, you rush to hold the meeting to oust him as president of the company. How long were you planning this?"

When Kyle saw Diana, he wavered slightly. But he just managed to keep himself in check.

"Our company has met with lots of problems recently. We should have a president to lead us."

"But you cannot decide who should take place," Diana said fiercely.

One of the directors stood up and asked, "Who are you? Do you think you have the right to decide who will take his place? You are just Brian's fiancée, are you not?"

Diana glanced at Kyle, but he kept silent.

"Yes, but I'm not only Brian's fiancée, but I am also the mother of his unborn child."

"What?" The news shocked the directors who were present.

Kyle stared at Diana, but he was not sure what to say. However, Antonette, who was also there, didn't have a problem voicing her opinion. She approached Diana and screamed, "We have no idea if you are really pregnant. And even if you are, you have no evidence to show that the baby is Brian's."

Diana gave her a brief look, and finally, after all the years of Antonette's outrageous behavior, she could not stand her anymore. She slapped Antonette fiercely in the face with one swift stroke.

It was inconceivable to Antonette that Diana had slapped her.

"How dare you?" she shouted.

Diana ignored her, instead of looking at the directors, and said with determination, "Given what we know, I believe I should be the Interim President of the company."

After a while, Kyle stood up from his seat.

"Diana, how about competing for the position fairly?"

"How?" Diana raised her eyebrows.

"Voting. Every director votes for the person whom they support. The one who has the most votes can be the President while Brian is in the hospital. What do you think?"

"I agree."

"Me, too."

The directors all approved as well. It was going to be a personal showdown between Diana and Kyle.

"It is agreed then. We will have another meeting here in three days," Kyle announced, thus concluding the meeting.
