Chapter 431: Chapter 431
Alexander sat opposite Nicolas. There was only a solid wood conference table about 6.5 feet between them.
"When my sister entered the Moran Group, she secretly established a scandal investigation agency." Alexander did not hide from Nicolas, telling him the truth while knowing that Nicolas would feel even worse.
He added, "This agency specializes in investigating the scandals and secrets of Moran Group’s board members. It continues to this day."
Madalyn’s Doyle Law Firm appeared very mediocre, being neither famous nor made much money. However, it was the scandal investigation agency that Alexander and his sister secretly created.
All the law firm staff had been secretly following, investigating, and taking photos of the directors of the Moran Group.
These directors were all smart, rich, powerful, and had many confidants. They hid their dirty deeds very well and it was very difficult for others to find out.
However, no matter how cautious they were, their activities were eventually exposed to those who followed and investigated them for years. As years passed, their scandals were all photographed by Alexander and Lucy’s people. Alexander and Lucy were not in a hurry at all. They kept these trump cards and only revealed them at the most critical moment to defeat these directors in one go.
Nicolas’s eyes were filled with rage, and his voice was hoarse. "Y-you actually dared to threaten the entire board of directors? Are you sure you can withstand the fury and resentment of so many directors?"
"Why can’t I?" Alexander asked, "I have something on them, not the other way around. What should I be afraid of?
"Besides, they’re old. Instead of enjoying the rest of their time, they’re going against a young man like me. Are they stupid?"
At this point, Alexander revealed a mocking smile. "You too. You’re old and sick. It’s better for you to retire from the company early and stay at home."
Nicolas looked at Alexander, who was young, healthy, and incredibly handsome. Alexander had everything he wanted. He could not help but feel jealous. He spat out, "Don’t be too smug.
"If the family can’t deal with you, can’t we deal with Avery and her family? Since you have the guts to go against the Moran Group for a woman, let’s see what will happen next."
Alexander said coldly, "I’m not a coward like you. Of course, I have guts."
Nicolas was at a loss for words. A metallic taste surged up his throat, and he almost vomited blood. Then, his vision turned black, and he nearly fainted.
However, Alexander had already stood up and strode out, leaving Nicolas behind.
At this moment, on the first floor of the Moran Group headquarters, Neil was already in his car.
After the car drove off, Neil’s assistant said in a low voice, "Are we just going to let Mr. Alexander Moran go ahead and marry Miss Carter?"
With the Moran family’s tradition and Neil’s thinking and temper, Neil couldn’t accept his heir marrying a woman who was not from the right family. It was even more so for an heir who would not hesitate to go against the family for a woman.
In the eyes of a family like the Moran family, the successor should put the family’s interests first. Those who could not do this could not become the successor.
Neil closed his eyes and said indifferently, "Investigate the Carter family. Destroy their company first." This would be a lesson for the Carter family and also a lesson for Alexander.
After the assistant agreed, a piece of news appeared on the television screen in the car. "At 11:30 pm today, the former CEO of Moran Group, Lucy Moran, held a press conference at Rosemont City and officially announced the establishment of Miracle Automobile Group. "The company, which has over 4 billion dollars in investment, already has a manufacturing factory of more than 5,000 acres. It is currently producing SUVs, new energy electric cars, driverless cars, and so on. The first batch of products is soon to be sold."
"What?" the assistant exclaimed, "When did Miss Moran establish a car company? Also, isn’t Miracle a brand under the Moran Group? When did it become independent?"
At this point, he suddenly shut his mouth. There was no doubt that this company was secretly established in Rosemont City by Lucy and Alexander.
He thought, ’No wonder Lucy has been very low-key since she appeared more than three years ago. She almost never appears in public and barely interacts with family.
’Her reclusion leads the family to believe she isn’t doing business anymore. Unexpectedly, she has not been idle in the past few years and has established an automobile company overseas.’
In other words, the entire Moran family, including Neil, was deceived. Lucy and Alexander even chose the time when the Moran Group impeached Alexander to publicize this news. They were clearly provoking the Moran Group.
Neil slowly opened his eyes. There was no obvious expression on his face, but he exuded a cold and strong sense of oppression. "Investigate how the brand Miracle becomes independent."
Not only was Miracle the most profitable, famous, and unique product of Moran Group’s subsidiaries, but it was also an industrial and heavy industry, which meant a lot to Moran Group.
The assistant immediately went to investigate A moment later, he said in a low voice, "Eight years ago, when Mr. Alexander Moran decided to enter the automotive industry and create the brand ’Miracle’, the entire corporation opposed it.
"To convince the board of directors, Mr. Alexander Moran threw out conditions very disadvantageous to himself. He said he would be solely responsible for this company and this brand.
"If Miracle made money, most of the profits would belong to the Moran Group. If he made a loss three years later, he would leave the corporation with nothing. The corporation agreed.
"Therefore, Mr. Alexander Moran has always been the legal representative of Miracle. Everything related to Miracle is up to him. The Moran Group is only an investor and major shareholder of Miracle."
He sighed. "Because the corporation didn’t value Miracle back then, Mr. Alexander Moran took advantage of a loophole in the agreement.
"The agreement states that the trademark ’Miracle’ belongs to Mr. Alexander Moran and the core technology of Miracle is transferred non-permanently by a third-party company.
"In other words, the core technology of Miracle does not belong to Moran Group."
There was no doubt that the third-party company with the core technology of Miracle was also under Alexander’s control.
The assistant smiled bitterly, "Mr. Alexander Moran transferred the trademark ’Miracle’ to Miss Moran. The company with the patent also transferred core technology to the independent Miracle company. It’s not against the rules." Without the brand "Miracle" and core technology, the original "Miracle" automobile manufacturer under the Moran Group lost its competitiveness and became mediocre. Alexander had tricked the Moran Group.
After the assistant finished, the car fell silent. The assistant thought Neil, whose authority had been challenged, had to be furious.
