Pausing for a moment, Landon continued, “I also believe that Armand won’t take a useless person as his wife.”
All the other shareholders nodded in agreement. “I share Mr. Lebon’s sentiments.”
“Then, the results of the voting this time shall prevail. Genevieve Rachford is thereby appointed as the CEO and will manage Central Group for the time being. Are there any objections?” Landon asked the shareholders around him.
“No.”
While Samantha persuaded many of the shareholders to side with her, Timothy and Cooper’s intrusion messed up her plan.
With the biggest shareholder firmly siding with Genevieve then, she could do nothing further.
Noticing Peter’s glance at her, she shook her head with a grim expression on her face.
Peter’s expression promptly turned all the darker. Never had he thought that such would be the result when he had come to Central Group and fought for so long, thinking that his promotion was a sure thing.
“How dare you, Cooper? You’re really something else!” he sneered before stalking off.
Likewise, Samantha got up from her seat languidly and cast her gaze into the distance at Genevieve at the head of the table. “Do you know of the saying that it’s easy to fight for something but difficult to maintain it? Make sure that you safeguard your position. Don’t disappoint your husband and the shareholders.”
The corners of Genevieve’s mouth curved upward, and she smiled faintly. “I’ll definitely commit your words to memory. I also hope that you’ll be able to safeguard your position when you return to Faulkner Group.”
Glaring at her coldly, Samantha spun on her heels and left.
After the two siblings left the conference room one after another, the biggest shareholder, Landon, turned to Genevieve.
With a somber look, he started, “Genevieve, I only said that earlier out of respect for Armand. I’ll give you two months. If you don’t have anything to show for it but make Central Group’s situation worse instead, I’ll kick you out immediately!”
As he recalled the various despicable deeds of his, he swallowed hard.
Bitterness permeated him.
“Steven had been telling me about the Faulkner family’s matters yesterday. I did my homework and even drafted a script inwardly, so I was naturally not afraid of him.” Genevieve smiled.
Massaging her numb wrist, she then picked up the coffee on the table after regaining some strength and took a sip. Subsequently, she asked Cooper, “Armand asked you to come over to Central Group that day to sell his shares to you?”
“Yeah.” Cooper nodded in affirmation.
At that time, he found it strange that Armand was selling Central Group’s shares to him when they were obviously on opposing sides.
He put the question to the man right then and there, but the latter merely said that Samantha was on Peter’s side, so it would be easier to deal with her if he were to buy Central Group’s shares.
