Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 685

How did Zayn put up with these people for so many years?

Not wanting to waste any more time with them, Lindsey raised her voice and said, "Soren has a fiancée, so she would be taking over his shares."

Under the stunned gaze of the people present, Lindsey clapped her hands and her tone was resolute. "Don't go too far and fight over what doesn’t belong to you."

After saying that, she swept a glance at the crowd who were still a bit unconvinced. "This matter is settled. Meeting adjourned."

This was only the shareholders' meeting. There were still meetings with the company's top management and several other staff meetings later. Thus, Lindsey could not waste too much time on this.

After the meeting was adjourned, Lindsey stood up. The secretary held open the door of the conference room. The sound of Lindsey’s high heels against the marble floor was crisp and echoed in the room.

"Lindsey Juhl!" Suddenly, a voice tinged with anger sounded behind the door. Lindsey lifted her eyes and looked at the person standing at the door glaring at her.

It was none other than Director Sanders who had a disagreement with Quentin last night.

"You! Who are you to lock me out? When did you have any right to make decisions in Denarius?!" Director Sanders looked at Lindsey's face and was so angry that he almost pounced on her to attack her, but seeing that there were so many people around, he held back his impulse.

He was one of the board of directors, yet he was shut out of the meeting room. This woman simply did not show him any respect.

The few other directors who were led by Director Sanders and were shut out for being late looked at Lindsey with the same righteous indignation.

Lindsey just inclined her head slightly. Behind her, Quentin received the order and silently sent a message to the security.

Looking at these arrogant men, Lindsey rubbed her wrist and looked dull as she said, “Sorry, but I’m in charge of Denarius now.”

Her casual remark made Director Sanders and several other directors widened their eyes in disbelief and thought they had misheard.

They did not have good hearing, but Lindsey was not bothered to reiterate herself. She walked forward, but Director Sanders blocked her path.

"Stop right there! Explain to us how are you in charge of Denarius?! You wicked woman! You killed the President and want to take over Denarius?!"

He looked at Lindsey with such a murderous gaze as if without Lindsey, this huge empire would be his.

Lindsey looked at his corrupt face like he was an insignificant clown. She looked at her watch, and in the next second, several security guards appeared at the end of the corridor.

She ignored Director Sanders’ yaps and saw the security guards approaching, then ordered in a cold voice, "Throw them out. By the way, Quentin, don't forget to buy back our company's shares from these gentlemen later."

After saying that, Lindsey avoided Director Sanders and the others who were restrained by the security guards, and left in stride.

To others, the way Lindsey looked now was like a demon queen who wreaked havoc on the country, but since Lindsey made an example of Director Sanders and the others, no one dared to say anything.

No matter what words came out of Director Sanders' mouth, Lindsey did not look back.

Shaun was worried that these people would make things difficult for Lindsey today, so he came over to support her, but to his surprise, Lindsey did not involve him and completed this complicated power transfer by herself.

Although she said that she was fine, she looked to be in so much pain. How could she be fine? Moreover, her wound was still wrapped in gauze, so if one part was hit, it would inevitably affect other parts too.

"I'll call the doctor." Shaun stood up, took out his phone, and was ready to make the call.

However, Lindsey hurriedly stopped him. "No, Brother!"

Her voice was tense. When she saw Shaun's puzzled look, Lindsey explained in a soft voice, "It can't be here. I've just taken up my post. If a doctor comes to the office, it’ll soon spread throughout the company. What will that look like? Let me just catch my breath. I’ll get a doctor to come over when I get home later."

"Linds..." Shaun wanted to ask her why she was doing this, but he could not bring himself to say it.

He understood Lindsey's thoughts. She did not want Denarius' staff to distrust her and could not let the already disorganized Denarius become even more chaotic. She did not have any time left for herself because she had to guard Zayn’s legacy. She had to protect what Zayn left behind.

The faces of the people present were somewhat moved. The secretary stepped forward and squatted down beside Lindsey, "There’s a lounge inside. Madam, I can help you to take a look at your injuries."

Lindsey did not refuse this time and nodded. "I remember you’re Zayn's secretary called Emilia, right?"

Emilia did not say anything and nodded, but Quentin added, "Just call her Em."

Lindsey forced herself to stand up with Emilia, but she thought of something and stopped. The lawyer had also followed them in and stood with his briefcase on his side.

Lindsey looked as if she could collapse at any moment. She looked at Mr. Carter and said in a bitter tone, "Mr. Carter, can you leave the phone that Zayn recorded the video on to me?"
