Lindsey brought the lawyer and even brought Shaun Juhl. At this time, she even took out Zayn’s will, which made everyone dubious.
Mr. Carter pretended not to see those suspicious eyes. He just concentrated on opening the safe, then took out a sealed envelope from inside.
"This will was sealed after Mrs. Guggenheim signed and placed it in this safe in front of me and two other lawyers. Now that Mr. Guggenheim passed away in an unfortunate accident, as his lawyer, it’s my duty to make this will public in front of all the board of directors."
After saying that, Mr. Carter reached out and was about to unseal the envelope.
"Wait." A director near the front of the conference table suddenly stood up. "Mr. Carter, although you said that there were two other lawyers as witnesses, why would the President want to make a will for no reason?"
His question was in the minds of most people present. Zayn was healthy and able-bodied with no prior illness, so why would he suddenly make a will?
Mr. Carter’s eyelids lifted slightly under his frameless glasses and looked at the person asking the question. He then smiled gently and harmlessly. "Mr. Guggenheim had expected that if he met an untimely death, my words and two other lawyers might not be enough to convince the directors."
After saying that, Mr. Carter took out another thing from inside the safe. It was a phone that was also sealed. When he said this, he outrightly exposed the blind ambition of these people.
There would be different scenarios if Zayn did or did not make a will.
Since Zayn had already divorced Lindsey, and the only son they had was adopted, it was not enough to pose a threat. That way, Zayn's shares would circulate within Denarius and be divided amongst the directors, so they were the only ones who would benefit from this.
However, now that Zayn suddenly had a will, they could not rest assured when it involved Lindsey, who was always a wild card.
Moreover, from Lindsey’s behavior earlier of directly removing those directors from the board, the contents of that will were self-evident.
Mr. Carter did not care about the inner thoughts of these directors and only did his duty.
He took the phone out of the sealed bag and explained in a soft voice, "Mr. Guggenheim has recorded a video of himself in this phone. Its content isn’t even known to me because he gave this to me with the will and told me to take it out if I encounter today's scenario."
Mr. Carter chuckled meaningfully and said, “Mr. Guggenheim can be quite the psychic.” When he said this, several directors cowered a little.
Although Zayn was dead, he left a big legacy in the company and his power could not be eliminated overnight.
The video was recorded by Zayn himself. Lindsey's fingers trembled gently under the table when she heard this, and she did not listen to a word Mr. Carter said after that.
"If no one has any comments, I’ll show you the video first," Mr. Carter said politely.
No one spoke. Their hearts were pounding and they were very uneasy. Lindsey’s breathing also slowed down and her brain had long since lost control over her body.
A few seconds later, the man's voice resounded in the large conference room from the phone. It was still frighteningly familiar to everyone.
Mr. Carter purposely projected the video onto the huge screen behind him so that everyone present could see it.
Lindsey turned back eagerly to look at the screen that was just slightly above her. The man was sitting at his desk with a bit of careless impatience on his face probably because he was not quite used to seeing only himself on the phone.
"If I meet an untimely death..." These were his first words. Lindsey's nose was sore and she bit her lower lip to keep herself from crying.
At this point, no one dared to question the will anymore.
What would happen was self-evident. Lindsey had her own equity, Dezi's equity, and Zayn’s equity now after his death, so she was now the largest shareholder in Denarius and their actual boss.
It was reasonable and legitimate for her to sit in this position.
Aside from Lindsey, Quentin was the second-largest shareholder. He was once tied with Soren in this position, but now that Soren was also gone, Soren’s equity was brought up for discussion.
"Soren doesn’t have a family and was adopted by Old Master Guggenheim. Now that he’s gone, his equity should be taken back by the company."
"Yes, it's best to let the President decide. Redistribution would be the most appropriate." Lindsey had just taken office and some people were already starting to suck up to her.
Lindsey watched coldly as they started a new debate. The sadness in her eyes slowly dissipated, and her eyes were just slightly red.
"Who said that Soren doesn't have a family?" Lindsey suddenly interrupted their discussion.
Everyone was silent at first, then louder arguments erupted. "How is that possible? Soren didn’t have a family, not even siblings."
"Yeah, his shares should be taken back by the company!"
Listening to their words, Lindsey suddenly felt heartbroken for Zayn.
