Upon reading the articles, Ivy’s eyes grew wide open in disbelief. She declared vehemently, “This is impossible! Old Madam Forester loves Quinn and would offend everyone else in the family to support Quinn to power. What do you mean that Quinn was not a Forester? This must be Sebastian and the others spreading false rumors.” Ivy was aware that Sebastian had always been bitter about Old Madam Forester entrusting Forester Corporation to Quinn. After Quinn rose to power, he took further measures to erase all of Sebastian’s influences in Forester Corporation. How could Sebastian be expected to not hold a grudge? “I’m going to call my brother and tell him to deal with these articles…” Ivy murmured to herself while reaching for the phone in her bag. Just as she was about to call Walter, it was Walter who called her instead. “Brother…” “The news is true. Quinn is the son of Rox Houston. She was a hostess at a bar and the father was one of her customers.” Walter answered Leah
The story of Quinn being the child of a famous hostess in Portica as well as the major accident he was involved in that led to his coma spread on the Internet like wildfire. The news that broke out subsequently affected the stock prices of Forester Corporation and Elysian Group. The stock prices fell off a cliff over the next few days. The combined market value of the two corporations shrank by more than eight hundred billion. Most of the shareholders of Forester Corporation were the big players in Portica. After Jacqueline returned to Forester Corporation and took control of things over there, the situation stabilized over time. Meanwhile, things continued to spiral in Elysian Group. Everyone in the corporation from top to bottom was panicking. Jacqueline took Quinn’s place and notified all the shareholders that there would be a general meeting between shareholders of Elysian Group on Wednesday morning. They would be electing one person to take over Elysian Group to kee
“Can the will apply if Mrs. Langham hasn’t given birth yet?” One of the shareholders raised the question and cast a glance at Leah. “Besides, his adoptive mother is with us. Then again, I suppose his shares in Elysian Group should be divided according to the will even if he’s currently unconscious.” Another shareholder nodded and raised another point. “I heard President Forester got married a long time ago. Has anyone notified his wife about this meeting?” Something shifted in Jacqueline’s eyes. “Here's the thing, his marriage with that woman has only been a part of an agreement this entire time. One of the terms they agreed on before the marriage was that she would not have any claim to his assets.” The shareholders had to process this information. That was when Leah suddenly spoke up, “I’m only his adoptive mother and I won’t get involved in the division of his assets as I’m only here today to see what’s going to happen. Since Quinn has written a will, Ivy should have a r
Ivy's expression shifted. She held back her anger and said sharply, “My husband was Pete, the third young master of the Foresters. He was very close with Quinn and cares a lot about our child’s future. That’s why Quinn decided to write the will.” “Oh? You could have said that right from the beginning. Look at you, with your face all red.” Rox smiled slyly. “I’ve been in Portica this entire time. I know you’ve been dating my son for thirteen years. My son must still have feelings for you to do such a big favor for you.” “That's all in the past.” Ivy's expression turned cold. “I broke up with Quinn a long time ago. I would appreciate it if you don’t try to slander us.” She was highborn and would rather not get involved with the son of a common bar hostess. The thought of it made her feel sick! “Alright, alright. I won’t bring it up!” Rox reached for a pack of cigarettes from her bag. There was something so catty about her gestures that the shareholders could not withsta
“So what if you have a marriage certificate? That doesn’t mean Quinn's company belongs to you!” Jacqueline scowled. “Don’t you know why Quinn married you in the first place? I’m sure he had you sign a prenup before the marriage, didn’t he?” Jenna smirked. “No.” Jacqueline's expression dropped. She suddenly raised her voice, “How is that possible?!” “I’m sure I know what he told me when he married me better than you do.” Jenna continued wearing the same smile, “You have eyes everywhere. He couldn’t have hid this from you, could he?” Jacqueline was at a loss for words. Upon noting Jacqueline’s silence, Jenna turned her attention back to the other side. She rested her hands on the table and stated calmly, “My husband Quinn needs to be hospitalized for a long time because he’s suffering from severe brain damage. During this time, I will be responsible for managing his company and assets.” “Quinn wrote a will a long time ago.” Ivy threw the document in Jenna’s direction.
“My father founded Seabright Group together with Uncle Sadler. When Shawn and I got divorced, we talked and decided he would take care of Seabright Group.” Jenna spoke in a composed tone. “Besides, I married Quinn after that and started working in Elysian Group. It would not be appropriate if I got involved in Seabright Group, would it? “I may be a translator, but my husband made sure to teach me what he knew about running a business. I’ve learned a lot from him in my time.” Jenna slapped her palms against the table and declared solemnly, “If I fail to deliver results after I assume my position in Elysian Group and cause financial loss, I will resign on my own accord.” Sebastian suddenly sneered as if to mock Jenna for being delusional. Upon hearing Jenna's declaration, the shareholders formed a range of expressions. They began murmuring with one another. Soon, one rose and announced, “We agree to vote again.” Sebastian's expression dropped upon hearing this. Then,
Upon this, all the shareholders subconsciously turned to look at Jenna. They could not deny that Sebastian made reasonable points. Jenna did not come from a finance background and had little experience. Running a company was a serious matter. During the second round of voting, half of the shareholders who voted for Jenna were the senior members of Elysian Group. They voted for her because they knew about her relationship with Quinn and as Quinn’s representative. Despite that, they were businessmen at the end of the day, focusing on profit more than anything else. They would let anyone take over as long as they could secure their fortune. They looked at the snot-nosed child again and began to reconsider their reckless decision just now. Perhaps they should vote for the third time. When it seemed like Sebastian had convinced the shareholders to re-vote, Shawn began to worry for Jenna. He was just about to say something when Jenna signaled him to stop. Did she have a
After a brief pause, he added, “Besides, I believe Quinn would not choose someone incompetent as his wife.” The other shareholders nodded in agreement. “I’m with Mr. Lerman.” “In that case, that finalizes our voting. Jenna will officially act as an interim CEO of Elysian Group.” Mr. Leman turned to the rest of the shareholders. “Does anybody have any objections?” “No objections.” Jacqueline may have come to an agreement with the shareholders. However, Jacob and Shawn swooped in and disrupted her plan. Now that the largest shareholder was determined to take Jenna's side, there was nothing else she could do. When she saw Sebastian looking at her, she shook her head silently with a scowl. Sebastian's expression was worse than hers. He had been trying to take leadership of Elysian Group for so long. Just when it looked like he was going to get it, things had gone the other way! “Shawn Sadler! You sure are something!” He scoffed before exiting the conference room. Ja
