“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
Shawn Sadler keenly sensed that was just an excuse Quinn made up. However, he did not ask further and immediately signed the document.“Why?” Jenna asked, not understanding. “Why else?”Jacob lazily said as he fiddled with a Rubik’s Cube. “Quinn previously made a will to give all his Elysian shares to Ivy’s child. However, he must have decided later that giving it all to Ivy’s child would cause trouble. So, he sold some to me and Shawn.”Jenna could understand Quinn selling some of his Elysian shares to Jacob.Why would he sell them to Shawn, though?Jenna was deep in thought as she sipped at her coffee. Suddenly, the meeting room door pushed open, and Sam threw Rox Houston in like she was a chicken.Then, he closed the door tightly.Rox stumbled in a few steps. Once she was standing stable, she immediately looked back at Sam.A displeased expression was on her charming face. “I’m Quinn Forester’s biological mom! I won’t just take it if you treat me like that again!”Sam act
Shawn glanced at Jacob, then said with a smirk, “You’re not Jenna’s type anyway.”Jacob was speechless.Back when the Radcliffs were alive, a socialite slandered Jenna, which had a significant impact on Jenna.Later on, Shawn went to a gathering with Jenna, and they bumped into that socialite. Jenna had pressed her to the ground and beat her up until she was crying that she was wrong.He had seen Jenna beat someone mercilessly, but that was truly the first time he had seen Jenna with such a ferocious appearance.Rox stared dumbly at the shard in her hand. The pain only spread through her whole body after a few seconds.Her face twisted in pain.“Argh!” Rox finally screamed.Jenna was unaffected by Rox’s piercing scream. Her expression remained cool.She then picked up another shard from the ground and held it in her hand.Her other hand was still holding Rox’s wrist down. “Ms. Houston, if you don’t talk, this shard will be in your hand next. Why don’t we switch to your left h
Shawn got up and took out a handkerchief from his pocket, passing it to Jenna. Jenna took it with a calm expression and wiped away the blood on her face and hands.As they walked toward the elevator together, Shawn asked Sam, “Have the reporters all arrived?”“They’re in Conference Hall 3,” Sam replied. He walked to the elevator and pressed the open button, gesturing for Jenna and Shawn to enter first.“Hey, hey! Don’t forget me.” Jacob rushed into the elevator.“Once we’re done here, I’ll get Sam to transfer the four million to you,” Jenna said, stuffing the bloodied handkerchief into her pocket.Shawn knew Jenna was not discussing it with him. Even if he rejected her, she would still transfer the money to him.He nodded. “You just took over the position of Elysian’s CEO. You need to announce it to the reporters, then call a meeting of Elysian’s upper management to get to know them. Sam will guide you through all of these.”Jenna was very calm earlier when facing Sebastian Fore
“They only married because they had to work together.” Shawn frowned in displeasure. “Don’t call her that in the future.”Jacob clicked his tongue. “They’ve registered their marriage, so can you say she isn’t?”Shawn was silent.“If you’re going to doubt me, you should just doubt the whole hospital. You can even put two security cameras in Quinn’s hospital room and get someone to monitor him every day.” Jacob put his arm on Shawn’s shoulder again and joked. “Be honest. While you think this is Quinn’s scheme, you’re hoping he doesn’t wake up, right?”Shawn did not reply to that. Instead, he slapped Jacob’s hand away again. “This suit is expensive. Don’t touch me. I’m not your ‘bro’.”“We can become bros now!” Jacob was not annoyed even after his hand was slapped away and remained smiling.“I quite like businessmen like you who aren’t what they seem and smart to boot! My social circle has really expanded with you guys around!”Shawn was speechless.He hated talkative extroverts l
