Chapter 263 He Was Tricked
A sneer flashed in her heart when Hulda saw that Clare and Ivan looked happy.
They regard her as a tool, but she wouldn’t be at their mercy.
When she came out, Hulda saw David pacing anxiously at the door, looking over worriedly from time to
time. Seeing Hulda coming out, he hurried up to meet her.
“Did you tell them about our plan?”
Hulda nodded. “David, don’t worry. They let me listen to you.”
“Okay.” David said with a smile on his face, “We will follow the previous plan. As long as you have the
shares, the position of chairman will still be ours.”
Hulda smiled. “Yes.”
A deep meaning flashed in her eyes, but David didn’t notice it.
Soon it was the general meeting of shareholders. When David went to pick up Hulda, he saw two
strong bodyguards standing beside her from a distance, and he was a little terrified.
He glanced at Hulda cheerfully. “With these two bodyguards, even if those directors want to make
trouble, we can easily subdue them.”
“Yes.” Hulda nodded with a smile, and then said nothing.
David thought she was worried about the upcoming meeting and comforted her while driving. “Don’t
worry.
For this meeting, you only need to express your opinion, and you don’t need to say anything else.”
“I feel much more at ease. Thank you.”
David was happy.
As Hulda looked at the scenery that kept flashing by outside the window, she was looking forward to
the meeting. She hoped that David would still be so calm by then.

Hulda sat at the top, and David stood aside. The meeting was presided over by him.
Those shareholders started speaking one by one about the re–election of the chairman.
“President Smith and Mr. Ivan are too bold. In just two years, they have evaded more than 350 million
in taxes. We don’t know about this, but we have to bear the consequences. Our money is invested in
Tansy Group, and we can’t let them bring down the Tansy Group.”
“Yeah, they are rich, but we have worked hard for most of our lives and made some money. We believe
in President Smith, so we followed him and left Smith Group. Now that he can’t lead Tansy Group to
glory, we should replace him.”
“The company has been in turmoil under the leadership of Clare for the past two years. The stock price
has. fallen to the limit several times. So many things have happened to Clare’s family, and Mr. Ivan has
been in prison for a year. We have put up with it. But now there is such a big thing as tax evasion, and
the video of them being handcuffed and taken to a police car went viral on the Internet. How can such a
person be the chairman of Tansy Group?”
“In order to let the company get rid of those unfavorable remarks as soon as possible and establish a
good corporate image, we should replace the chairman to show our sincerity.”
“We should have a person in charge of Tansy Group. We don’t know how many years Clare and Ivan
will be sentenced to. Are we just waiting for them?”
“Yes, so we are all in favor of re–election of the chairman!”
“Yes!”
All the shareholders expressed their opinions one after another, and all of them agreed to re–elect the
chairman. Even the few directors who had been loyal to Clare in the past were eager to have a try.
Everyone was excited to be the chairman of Tansy Group.
David looked at them and sneered. “Everyone, all of you, plus some small shareholders, only hold 55%
of the shares in total. But President Smith and Mr. Ivan have 45%.”
“They are in prison!”
David looked at Hulda who had been silent. “Mr. Ivan has transferred the shares to Ms. Hulda’s name.”
There was silence in the room. They didn’t expect that Ivan would transfer all the shares to a woman.
Many of them had been married for more than 20 years, and their wives had been with them for so long, but they dared not transfer all the shares to their wives.
“Okay, let’s start voting.”
David put the voting device in Hulda’s hands. “You can enter your name. Don’t worry, we have bought a
lot of small shareholders, and the sum will exceed 50%. The position of chairman must be ours.”
There were ten shareholders including Hulda in this meeting, and several of them were in a group.
After the voting ended, David began to count the votes, and he found that many people had a high
approval rating.
“Brandon, the approval rate is 20%.”
As David looked at the middle–aged man who had a proud face, he had coldness in his eyes.
“Tony, the approval rate is 15%.”
David paid special attention to those with high approval ratings, but compared with the shares in
Hulda’s hands, these approval ratings were insignificant.
David felt relieved, and it was time to read Hulda’s name next. He tapped the screen in his hand, and
when he saw the name on it, he was stunned.
“Cynthia Miller, 55%.”
He looked at Hulda in disbelief, “This is the shareholders‘ meeting of Tansy Group. How could there be
Cynthia’s name? How could she have shares in Tansy Group?”
“Hulda, did you write your name wrong?”
He was stunned.
Although he asked this question, he knew in his heart clearly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHulda had a soft smile. “That’s right. It’s indeed the name of Cynthia.”
“Nonsense!” David’s face showed anger, and his expression was ferocious. “Cynthia doesn’t have any
shares in our company at all. How could there be such a high approval rate?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the meeting room was pushed open, and all the people in
the room looked toward the door.
Cynthia was wearing a black suit with exquisite makeup. She walked with a smile. “Sorry, I’m late.”
Standing behind her were Lloyd and Bill, looking very imposing.
Seeing Hulda stand up from her seat and walk behind Cynthia, David’s eyes widened suddenly. “You
two…”
He was incoherent and couldn’t utter a word. Everything Hulda had done before was pretending. She
had worked with Cynthia a long time ago.
She had lied to him for so long. This woman was so cunning.
Cynthia blocked David’s gaze, and said with a smile, “David, if you have any doubts, you can vote
again.”
David finally came to his senses and glared at Cynthia viciously. “Without my signature on the shares,
even if Hulda wanted to give them to you, it would be impossible.”
“Really?” Cynthia smiled and took out a piece of paper from Lloyd’s hand. “David, is this your
signature?”
Without stepping up to take a closer look, David recognized that it was his signature. He widened his
eyes in disbelief. When he thought carefully about the things he signed recently, he suddenly realized.
He had only signed several contracts in the past few days when he was selling the houses. At that
time, the person kept asking questions, and he was in a hurry. Hulda stood aside and handed him the
contracts.
Maybe she handed the equity transfer contract to him.
He was tricked.
