Chapter 7 A board meeting

Mia’s POV:

Three days later.

A board meeting was held in the Walter Group.

In addition to me, Frank, my both sons Harry and David, and the two other directors, Mr. Patel and Mr. White, all of them are present at the meeting as we agreed before.

However, what shocked me most was that Evan was also present in the meeting room. Even though Evan had the 15% shares of the Walter Group, he had never participated in any board meeting or taken part in any management issue related to the company…

What’s more, he had only brought those shares out of goodwill, so it was even more shocking for me to see him here.

“It’s really strange! Mr. Cater is also here!”

Seeing Evan here, Mr. White and Mr. Patel were eager to fawn on him, as if he was the one who controlled the whole Group. But I can’t blame them, as Evan has the power to destroy the Walter Group…

After all, in front of the Carter Group, Walter Group was like an aunt in front of an elephant.

However, Evan just sat on the chair silently, cold and aloof, showing no interest in the two men.

Even though he was just sitting, his aura was so strong that these two men didn’t dare to approach him.

At that moment, the door of the meeting room opened and Anya walked in, black-rimmed glasses on her face. She was wearing a black suit with a white shirt underneath.

There was light makeup on her face, and together with the red lipstick, even though I hate to admit, she looked businesslike and gorgeous.

A complete career lady.

Anya’s POV:

As I walked into the office, everyone was already sitting there. As I looked around, my eyes fell on Evan, who was sitting in the corner, with a cold face. Seeing him here I was quite shocked, as it was rare for him to attend such meetings.

However, I quickly regained my composure.

“All non-essential personnel, please leave! This is a board meeting, not your family meeting at home!” I said indifferently, looking at Mia and her two sons.

Hearing my words, Mia’s mouth trembled as she said, “Whoa! Aggressive, aren’t you? I was almost convinced that you have already been the Chairman since you are acting like one. Everyone here, Anya is more qualified than you. We are all more capable at least than you of taking over the position of Chairman. The Walter Group is too much of a big deal to be left in your hands. You think, you an immature girl, can handle it?”

Then I saw, Harry, a bad-tempered lad, slam the table furiously and he stood up. “Mom is right! Who are you to take the Chairman’s seat from Dad? What have you done for the Walter Group? You are just making a fuss here. Grandpa was old, and his brain wasn’t functional anymore. So that doesn’t count. Get out of here, or I will kick you out myself!”

Hearing that my lawyer, Mr. Clement, nudged his glasses and said sternly, “Mr. Walter, Mrs. Walter, please watch your tongue, if not then don’t blame my client for suing you for intimidation and libel!”

“Who are you to bluff me? Can she even afford a lawyer?”

Harry had always been the bully in the family since he was a kid and treated himself as the heir. Now that, his property had been taken away from him, how could someone like him not be furious?

However, I had long stopped entertaining them.

I just looked merely at Harry who was jumping like a mad dog, and called to my assistant standing at the door…

Soon, eight burly security men came in.

I looked at them and said, “Send all non-essential personnel out for a time being!”

“I am staying! I will see what you will do!” Harry said arrogantly.

Since Harry was also boss to them, the security guards didn’t dare to use so much force, so they looked at Mia and others and gestured for them to leave.

Seeing that, Harry seemed to become more arrogant as he said, “This is my father’s company. Come and get me if you dare. But I am telling you, I am not going anywhere. What can you do to me?” Harry said stubbornly.

“Anay, who do you think you are, huh? Let me tell you, don’t push me further. Otherwise, I don’t mind slapping you even though you are a woman.”

Saying that he pounced on me.

However, before his hand could touch my face, I ducked, and his hand missed my face. Then, I caught Harry’s hand, and pushed him aside, causing his head to smash against the table.

The next second, Harry’s lips were cut, and blood flowed from his lips.

“What… are you doing? Oh, Harry, my son! Are you alright?”

Seeing her son like this, Mia jumped from her seat, wailing like a shrew.

However, I didn’t pay attention to the mother and son pair, turned to the security and said, “Get them out here!”

“Yes, Miss Walter!”

Then, the head of security was no longer polite, as they seized Harry and others and sent them out.

Looking at the blood on my hand, I couldn’t help but frown. “Excuse me, I need to use the washroom.”

Saying that I left the meeting room and went to the bathroom. As I was about to open the tap to wash the blood stain on my hands, I heard the sound of a door opening from behind him.

Subconsciously, I looked back to see who it was. However, I was shocked to see the person who walked in.

It was Evan.
