Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1602

"Ms. Sophie."

On one side, Harold called her name, bringing Sophie back to reality.

Harold announced, "Let's take a careful look at this share certificate. With Mr. Gordon's one percent of shares, Ms. Sophie remains the CEO of S Corporation."

The shareholders passed around the share certificate.

Once it was confirmed that the document had been stamped, signifying its legal validity, the outcome became obvious.

"Mr. Jason, what do you suggest we do now?"

Harold faced Jason, who looked as composed as ever, though his eyes carried an added chill.

"It was you who insisted on a fair vote. Now that the results are not to your liking, surely, Mr. Jason, you won't have your people intimidate us?"

Harold spoke lightly, "Fortunately, I've brought some people with me as well. A little exchange between our bodyguards doesn't seem like a bad idea."

The tension in the meeting room was palpable.

Sensing the shift, the other shareholders quickly left their seats.

The result of the vote was clear.

Sophie had won, and it was all thanks to that one percent of shares.

"There's no point in us staying here any longer. We shall take our leave."

"Hold on."

Harold momentarily lost for words, didn't know how to respond.

He had rushed over to save the day but hadn't thought through how to explain the situation with the share certificate.

Colby, seeing Harold's hesitation, stepped forward, took the share certificate from Sophie, and then gently held her hand, saying, "The Aldridge family and the Russell family have been close for generations. It wasn't unusual for Andrew to give some shares to the next generation, considering his good relations with the previous head of the Aldridge family. It's not a big deal, and even if you asked Harold, he might not know."

"Is that so?"

Sophie frowned.

Ten percent was a substantial share for the Russell family, even years ago.

She couldn't understand why her father would give such a significant portion of shares to an outsider, especially without her knowledge.
