The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor By LiLhyz Chapter 130: Keith’s Big Gun

Two weeks had passed since the incident at the Hendersons’ mansion. Keith walked into a meeting room at Prima MedCare. It was a session requested by his father, Charles.

Keith shook his head, knowing the reasons for the meeting. Unfortunately for Keith, his father still held authority, owning ten percent of the company shares. Charles still had the right to express and suggest anything related to the company. The worst part was how his father knew every shareholder, being the previous CEO.

“Good morning,” Keith said while taking his seat. “Before I address this meeting, I have someone here to join us.”

Evan walked into the room, surprising the board members.

“What is Evan doing here?” Charles asked with a frown. 1

Edward, Keith’s assistant, entered and distributed Evan’s new acquisition of Prima MedCare’s shares. It was a five percent share from another investor absent that day.

“As you can see, Mrs. Chow sold all her rights to Evan. Mister Thompson, the CEO of the Thompson Group of Companies, will now be our business partner,” Keith announced.

The board of directors and shareholders became pleased. If Evan was part of the company, there could only be growth to look forward to.

A triumphant look became painted on Keith’s face, seeing his father resentful. With Evan as a shareholder, his business partners would side with him instead of his father.

After Evan sat next to him, Keith asked, “So, May I know what this meeting is all about?”

Charles stood up first. He said, “Everyone is here today because of the news of your relationship. We are worried about your girlfriend’s reputation and that of yours.”

He walked up to Keith and handed him a file. When Keith opened it, he saw it was research done about Karise.

Charles said, “The woman you are dating does not belong to our circle. You have to remember how perception is also important. Because we mostly earn as a corporate insurance provider, we deal with CEOs and executives. What will people say if you marry Karise? Can she blend in into your important events, such as charity gatherings or club meetings? How many languages does she speak? She will only be cast aside. Notable people will think of her as a gold digger.”

“During her college years, she waited tables at a local bar at night – who knows if she only served food or provided other services? She has had five failed relationships, which meant one thing, Keith, the woman is used

“And what about me, Dad? I probably went out with over fifty women since high school,” Keith pointed out. “I guess I’m pretty used to, but that’s really besides the point. I don’t care about her past like she doesn’t care about mine! I love her, and I will want only Karise!”

“And how does waiting tables make her a gold digger?” Keith contested.

Charles bitterly replied, hearing his son counter his words, “Don’t you think I know? You let her live at your penthouse! You bought an expensive

diamond ring! You have never spent so much for a woman before. I won’t attend your wedding if you marry Karise, nor will the board members!”

“Of course, I will spend for the woman I love, Dad! Don’t you?” Keith looked at the board members and asked, “Don’t you gift your wives with the most expensive jewelry? But it does not make them a gold

digger!” 1

“I’m not finished yet!” Charles declared. “Look at those last photos of her at the club. She is a party girl, Keith, not the kind of woman you should take home as a wife!”

“Find someone like Shantelle! How about Lola Mitchell? She is a fine woman, and your unity could further strengthen our business,” Charles suggested, and a few board members echoed the same.

“Keith, if you marry Lola Mitchell, all the employees of their TV network will purchase insurance claims from us.” One board member suggested.” Imagine, three hundred employees!”

“I have over two thousand employees, from Rose Hills to other cities,” Evan interrupted. “All of them are using Prima MedCare as their insurance.”

Everyone proudly smiled, but they trembled in fear at Evan’s following words. “If you insist that Keith marry Lola, or any other women that had miserably failed to straighten out my friend here, I will find another insurance company!”

“However, if you leave Keith alone with his personal life, I will enlighten the Wright Diamond Corporation to potentially use Prima MedCare as their employees’ primary medical insurance,” Evan proposed. “And that, my friends, is like winning the lottery!”

The shareholders’ eyes gleamed upon hearing the news. If the biggest corporation in the country were to use Prima MedCare, they would all be settled for life!

“The Wright Diamond Corporation in Braeton?” Charles asked, bemused.

“The new Diamond Hotel here in Rose Hills is a partnership between me and Kaleb Wright, the CEO of the Diamond Hotels,” Evan revealed. “So

what will it be, ladies and gentlemen? Are you siding with Charles, or are you siding with Keith and me?”

Murmurs echoed across the conference room. Charles tried to win every one but failed to convince the business partners.

“Charles,” Evan said. “Nice research you have done about Karise. A Party girl? Who hasn’t been there? If I dig well enough, I bet I would find more scandalous pictures of Lola Mitchell.”

“Why dislike Karise? Because she does not come from a wealthy family? That’s social discrimination! Do you know that you could be sued for that?” Evan asked. “Since Karise is my wife’s friend, I will hire her the best lawyer – II

With nose flaring, Charles questioned, “Why are you like this, Evan? Don’t you hate Keith one bit for all the wrong that he did -”

“Again, Keith and I are over that matter. You can’t use that against us,”

Evan clarified. “You’ll just die trying.”

“Back to Keith.” Evan pointed at Charles, contending, “You used to argue with Keith because you disliked his serial dating ways. Well, aren’t you happy how that had all stopped?”

Evan turned to the board of directors, saying, “Arent you all pleased that your CEO has not been featured in the headlines again? Aren’t you all tired of reading about Prima MedCare’s notorious playboy CEO out with the new Hollywood Starlet?”

Keith utterly disliked how Evan recounted his past, but he understood where his friend was going with his words. Keith explained his personal life, “I have never thought of settling down until my girlfriend. Yes, she isn’t a known socialite in the city, but I love Karise, and she keeps me right on track. So

please, let’s stop this nonsense! We are all wasting our time over something that will not affect the company!”

“Prima MedCare has established its name over the years thanks to my efforts. If it grew to a billion- dollar company like it is now, despite my womanizing reputation, it certainly would not be affected if I wed an ordinary girl,” Keith added.

He stood up and asked with conviction, “If any of you try to interfere with my personal life, I will leave Prima MedCare and build my own insurance company! So the greater question is, do you still want me as your CEO?!“

While the board of directors listened to Keith’s solemn announcement, Evan gave them a threatening look. He was silently declaring war on them should they choose to answer incorrectly.

“We want you as our CEO, Keith. We are sorry we entertained your father’s request,” an executive said.

“We apologize, Mister Thompson, Keith. You are right. We wasted our time on something irrelevant. It won’t happen again,” a shareholder expressed, and the rest echoed the same.

Keith knew his father would use the shareholders and board members to sway him against being with Karise. Thus, that day, he prepared for his big gun, and that was Evan. With their combined efforts, the shareholders and board of directors apologized and conceded to Keith.

On the other hand, Charles failed to achieve his goal that day.

Evan took the chance to ask his friend, “So you bought an engagement ring?”

“Yeah,” Keith replied.

“When?” Evan asked.

“A month ago,” Keith replied.

“Are you planning to give it to her?” Evan asked.

Keith formed beads of sweat on his forehead. He replied, “I’ve been thinking about it, but I -1 fucking don’t know how. The thought of following your proposal ideas makes me nervous. I thought I’d wait a little longer since it might be too early for her.”

“Plus, I’m not good at being really romantic,” Keith admitted.

“It doesn’t have to be big romantic, Keith. Just do it however you feel like it. You know her the best,” Evan suggested. “And you know what’s great if you get married? Your father can’t insist that you marry another socialite; I mean, how can you get married if you are already married?”

“Just do it!” The man added. “The sooner, the better.” “Okay. Okay,” Keith acknowledged. “Do you mind practicing with me, though?”
