FULL NOVELXO Chapter 804
Chapter 804 The Final Meeting
Back in Digton City, the Fowlers were newly empowered with Douglas' appearance and started acting like emperors in the Fowler Corporation. They snatched the seal of the Finance Department and, at one time, even occupied the office to disrupt daily work, causing the entire company to come to a grinding halt.
To Selena's horror, Douglas suddenly emerged with a lot more shares than she had anticipated, leading her to guess that Douglas' real father might have been 'collecting' shares for him by purchasing shares left and right in the market. As for the Fowlers, they were surprisingly united in transferring all their shares to Douglas, their puppet king.
When Pierre was still alive, he had transferred a portion of his shares to Selena to manage the risk. Since the current debate was centered around inheritance, the Fowlers would only look into the shares that were under Pierre's name.
The inheritance distribution was a complex issue. At that moment, no one could claim Pierre's shares because Selena had lodged a suit against the conflict between the family rule and Pierre's will. Therefore, Pierre's shares were temporarily frozen, and no one could inherit them at the moment.
However, the lawsuit might play out across an extended period of time. It was impossible for the Fowler Corporation to halt its operations for the duration of the lawsuit. That was why everyone was fighting with the hope of crushing their enemies before the case was closed.
Douglas' side was collecting shares like crazy in order to overpower Selena. If that happened, he could take over as president and exercise authority.
One day, Selena received a notice to attend the shareholders' meeting, and she knew that the day had arrived.
Dressed in a clean and crisp business suit, she arrived at the Fowler Corporation with Niall and took the president's seat.
Since she had arrived a little late, everyone else was already seated.
"Selena, I think you sat in the wrong seat again." Although Joseph was old, he was quite sprightly and radiant. By the looks of it, she knew that Douglas' father must have agreed to reward Joseph handsomely for his cooperation.
"Uncle Joseph, you have said that line countless times, but I am still sitting in the president's seat."
He sneered at her. "I will let you enjoy the seat for the final time. I'd love to see how long you could keep your position."
"Uncle Joseph, you knew that Douglas Cloude is not Chris Fowler. He's not your late brother's son, but you still insist on protecting him. Look, you're rather old now; when judgement day comes and you meet your brother, how would you explain yourself?"
Joseph's face immediately hardened. "Of course Chris is John's son! It's all your fault, you cunning b*tch! You set up a trap to trick him!"
She shook her head with an icy smile. They could do anything for their own benefit even if they betray their conscience, because money is king.
"Okay. If you insist, then I have nothing much to say. I just want to warn you-even if you give him your full support and expect a huge reward in return, you might find yourself losing everything in the end." "How dare you!"
Selena ignored him and scanned the room. "Is everyone here? If so, let's not waste time and start the meeting," she uttered. Niall helped to count the attendees and confirmed that everyone was present. "Let's begin."
Sitting across from Selena, Douglas did not meet her eyes at all. He felt sorrowful because he never wanted to ruin his relationship with her. Alas, he was threatened by Yoel and had to betray her to save her life.
Right then, a staff member entered the room. Douglas took a second look and realized that it was Yoel, his biological father!
Dressed in a business suit, Yoel stood with the other employees. When he entered the room, he gave Douglas a stern look, as if he was sending a warning. Douglas immediately tensed up because he had no idea what Yoel was up to.
"Mr. Sanders, please declare the amount of shares I own," Selena ordered Niall, who dutifully opened the file and started addressing the room.
