FreeNovelAt Peter’s argument, the shareholders instinctively swung their gazes at Genevieve.
In truth, the man’s words made much sense. Genevieve didn’t major in finance, and her experience
was pitifully negligible. Managing a company was no joke, after all.
During the revote, half of the shareholders voted for Genevieve because they were Central Group’s
veterans. Aware of her relationship with Armand, they knew that she was representing the man.
However, they were still businessmen who only had profit in their eyes. As such, they would entrust the
company to whoever could make money for them.
As they studied the young and inexperienced Genevieve, they all reflected upon their hasty decisions
just now.
In fact, they were seriously contemplating whether to have another revote.
Seeing that Peter was swaying the shareholders to his side, Cooper couldn’t help worrying on
Genevieve’s behalf. He was just about to riposte when Genevieve gestured at him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHmm? She has a solution?
He closed his mouth and leaned back against his chair.
Genevieve swept her gaze over everyone. Lowering her eyes, she commented mildly, “I don’t have
experience managing a company, but I can learn. I also believe that Central Group’s executives will
help me. Fellow shareholders, you have been holding shares here since my husband founded the
company, and that hasn’t changed to this day. Now, I’m temporarily taking over the company on behalf
of my husband. When he regains consciousness, all of you will still be shareholders, and the company
will still be his. However…”
She deliberately paused for a moment before continuing, “If Central Group were handed over to
someone else to manage, it’d be difficult to tell how many old shareholders will be left and whether the
company would still belong to my husband in the future.”
At once, Peter’s expression changed imperceptibly. ”What do you mean by that, Genevieve? You think
I’d sabotage Central Group?”
Harrumphing, he sneered, “What a joke! Although Armand isn’t my biological nephew, he was still
raised by the Faulkner family. In fact, he addresses me as ‘Uncle Peter.’ I feel sorry that such a thing
befell him, and I’m all the more worried that there isn’t anyone to manage Central Group, leading to
internal collapse gradually. That’s why I promised Samantha to come over to help. Yet, you’re doubting
me? I used to be in charge of Faulkner Group in the past, and I had the company’s profits doubling
every year. You can verify it by flipping through Faulkner Group’s financial reports!”
It wasn’t until he had finished speaking that Genevieve unhurriedly replied, “Mr. Peter, I can tell how
capable you are from financial magazines, so I’m not going to doubt your business acumen. But no
matter how hard you try to keep some things hidden, they’re still public knowledge.”
The second utterance from her was exceedingly obscure, but the shareholders were well-connected
and shrewd, so they were more or less aware of all happenings in the business world, regardless of
their magnitudes.
Indeed, Peter helped Faulkner Group make a lot of profit while he was in charge of the company.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNonetheless, that was a pittance compared to the amount of money he embezzled from the company.
Worse still, he even led his men to collude with forces from abroad, secretly sabotaging the relationship
between Xedells and the mainland. In doing so, he made a fortune.
If Armand hadn’t employed swift and ruthless methods to eliminate all of Peter’s forces in the company
after taking office and righted the Faulkner family’s stance, the century-old family wouldn’t exist
anymore in a few more years if Peter’s forces were allowed to grow further.
Central Group’s shareholders didn’t dare imagine the tactics Peter would use to arrange for his men to
infiltrate the company and kick them out after gaining control of Central Group.
At that line of thought, they all trembled inwardly.
“A revote isn’t necessary!” Central Group’s biggest shareholder declared before Peter could say
anything.
In response, Samantha narrowed her eyes a fraction. “Don’t joke, Mr. Lebon. Central Group is a
company with a market value of hundreds of billions. If she were to really take over the company, the
shares in our hands might soon become a pile of worthless paper!”
Landon Lebon’s expression remained calm and unruffled. “Genevieve said she can learn and isn’t
afraid of hard work. Besides, Central Group’s employees will teach her. I’m willing to give her a
chance.”
