With power in her hands, like a crowned queen, Olivia Jenkins returned to Jenkins Group, where no one dared to belittle her anymore.
Even the security guards stationed at the entrance were unusually respectful to Olivia Jenkins.
Throughout the late meeting, whether they were high-ranking executives or stakeholders, no one opposed Olivia. Olivia had authority in Jenkins Group and she was the one making the decisions.
Finally, having cleared all obstacles, she could leisurely sip a cup of coffee. Standing by the grand floor-to-ceiling window, Olivia observed the bustling traffic below.
There was not a shred of joy in her heart, only a sense of melancholy.
After the “gunshot”, there were no winners!
Even with Jenkins Group under her control, she still felt an emptiness in her heart.
Though her grandmother did not say anything, Olivia knew that she was still blaming, hating her, not treating her as a granddaughter.
At appearances, Olivia’s relationship with her grandmother seemed fine, but in truth, it was tenser than an iceberg.
The Marshall Corporation stakeholder meeting was initiated by Michael Marshall, resolving to acquire Yonder Group.
Alexander Marshall, who had been out of the public eye since retiring, appeared at the stakeholder meeting.
Despite having retired from the spotlight, Mr. Alexander Marshall still commanded respect, warmly greeted by everyone.
As the meeting was about to begin, not seeing Daniel Marshall around, Michael immediately instructed his secretary to hasten him.
Just as the secretary was preparing to make a call, Daniel Marshall walked in, exuding an aura of majesty and elegance in every move he made.
Daniel’s eagle-like eyes appeared to disdain everything and he took a seat next to the chairman.
In an instant, everyone in the room had their eyes on Daniel Marshall.
Aside from Michael, everyone wondered what Daniel thought.
Most people were speculating about Daniel’s intentions.
Suppressing his displeasure, Michael sternly announced with a cold expression, ‘Everyone is here, let’s begin the meeting to discuss the resolution.”
Besides Daniel, everyone else had already glanced over the plan that the secretary distributed to the stakeholders.
Various parameters of Yonder Group were displayed on the projection screen at the front of the meeting room, aiding the stakeholders in making their decision.
Before Michael could delve deeper into Yonder Group’s situation, Daniel pre-emptively disrupted the harmonious atmosphere.
“I can’t believe this is the chairman’s resolution. Chairman, did you possess personal bias when deciding to acquire Yonder Group? Did you overlook the interests of the stakeholders? A company that’s been excommunicated from Marshall Corporation, has the audacity to think it’s worthy of being acquired by Marshall Corporation, isn’t the chairman afraid of ridicule from those in the industry?”
The authoritative voice of Daniel’s questioning was calm, yet compelling, immediately drawing the attention of all the stakeholders.
Some stakeholders also whispered among themselves, clearly not satisfied with Michael’s decision.
Luckily, an official acquisition could only be initiated after approval from the stakeholders, otherwise, it would truly be disappointing.
Everyone knew Yonder Group was the corporate home of Mrs. Marshall, so it was difficult for stakeholders not to suspect that, as the chairman, Michael was engaging in irrational behavior out of personal motivations.
From a business and strategic perspective, Michael truly paled in comparison to Daniel.
If not for the fact that Mr. Alexander Marshall wished to further train Daniel, the majority of stakeholders would like Daniel to directly lead Marshall Corporation, as Daniel seemed more fitting for the throne.
Michael squinted his eyes and stared at Daniel, retorting, “Daniel, are you saying you had no personal bias when you excommunicated Yonder Group? I believe the acquisition of Yonder Group is viable and the data supports this. Please, take a closer look.
The decision to acquire will be determined by a vote at the stakeholders meeting. It’s not something I can decide on my own. Daniel, please clarify this before you criticize. I highly respect the decisions of the stakeholders..”
