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
Jenna’s words caused an uproar in the audience.“Miss Radcliff, I heard you used to work in Elysian’s translation department. Now, you’ve suddenly become the CEO. Do you have any management experience?”“While you are Mr. Quinn Forester’s wife, the company isn’t his alone.”In the face of the reporters’ sarcasm, Jenna simply smiled calmly. “I must do this precisely because the company isn’t my husband’s alone. I have discussed it with the shareholders. If I do not produce any results for the company within two months, I will voluntarily step down.”Seeing how Jenna spoke with conviction, the reporters’ skepticism of her slowly faded.Soon, a reporter asked, “Miss Radcliff, when did you marry Mr. Forester? Can you show us the marriage certificate?”“Of course.”Jenna accepted the marriage certificate Sam passed to her and showed it to the reporters.They snapped away furiously at the marriage certificate.Someone noticed the date on the marriage certificate and immediately aske
Once the press conference ended, the video of Jenna’s interview spread rapidly online.Everyone found out about her marriage with Quinn Forester and her taking up the role of Elysian Group’s CEO via the shareholders’ vote to temporarily manage Elysian in place of Quinn.Although everyone thought Jenna would ruin Elysian, her final words in the interview were very touching.Some journalists also reported that Sebastian and Jacqueline Forester had appeared at Elysian’s office, taking part in the shareholders’ meeting. Under the pretext that it was for Elysian’s good, Sebastian Forester attempted to take over the role of Elysian’s CEO. The news further reported that Forester Corporation called a shareholders’ meeting without notifying Quinn Forester’s wife, Jenna Radcliff, and voted for Jacqueline Forester to take over the management of Forester Corporation.Everyone could tell what the siblings intended and were scolding them for being disgusting. Even if Quinn was not a Forester b
It was the fourth day of Jenna being Elysian’s CEO. She was sitting in the CEO’s office, looking at the pile of never-ending paperwork and reading up on some obscure financial knowledge, when the matter of her having an affair with a man at the Orchid Pavilion Hotel a few months ago was brought up once more on the internet.Among the photos exposed, one had the blurry figure of a man exiting that room, as well as Jenna’s argument with Shawn.In the photo, one of Jenna’s hands was tightly clenched in the blanket, revealing her beautiful shoulders. She was looking up at Shawn, saying something with a panicked expression with tears in her eyes.A reporter used these photos to attack Jenna, pointing out that she had cheated on her husband.That reporter’s tweet got a lot of comments. Some people, unaware of the truth, were misled into following the trend of insulting Jenna.This indirectly affected Seabright and Elysian’s shares.After Jenna saw the news, she asked Sam if he had the
