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
“What is it?” Jenna picked up the document on top and flipped it open to read it.Sam stood there quietly.Jenna took more than an hour to digest the contents of the two documents.She was smart and quickly understood Quinn’s intentions.She told Sam her guess. “Sebastian Forester must have discussed it with Jacqueline Forester beforehand. She was supposed to help Sebastian take control of Elysian while she took over Forester Corporation. However, she didn’t expect Quinn to sell some shares to Shawn and Jacob, which pulled them into the equation.“Since Sebastian didn’t manage to get his hands on Elysian, he definitely won’t let Forester Corporation pass by. He’ll want to buy Forester Corporation shares, but there’s no way Jacqueline will allow that to happen.”“You’re very smart, Missus.” A rare smile appeared on Sam’s face.He heard that during the shareholders’ meeting, Jacqueline Forester doubted Jenna. Then, the largest shareholder, Mr. Lerman, had said, “I believe Quinn wo
The news of Quinn Forester’s marriage and his parentage was not only spreading rapidly in Hevedburgh but also in Portica.The hotel reception instantly recognized Jenna but did not know how to address her.“We’re checking in.” Sam placed their documents on the counter. “Two standard rooms, connected together.”“Alright.” The receptionist worked quickly.Once Sam got the room key and walked off toward the elevator with Jenna, the two receptionists craned their necks to look at Jenna, then huddled together to gossip.“That’s the fourth son’s wife, right? I heard her family’s gone and that she’s a disgraced lady.”“What fourth son? His parentage is a disgrace to the Foresters,” the other receptionist whispered. “The Foresters definitely won’t want him.”“Then what is she doing in Portica?”“Quinn Forester still has shares in Forester Corp. She’s definitely here to make money!”For the entire afternoon, Jenna stayed in her hotel room, dealing with various things. She only noticed
The Companies Act stated that the shareholders of a company had the first right of refusal when it came to a transfer of shares. This meant that if a shareholder wanted to sell their shares, they had to offer it to the other shareholders and obtain their approval before they could try selling it to anyone else.While this was the case for Elysian, it was different for Forester Corporation.Forester Corporation was originally a family company. However, many of its shares had been sold through multiple rounds of financing.Forester Corporation’s constitution stated clearly that if the shareholder selling their shares was a Forester, they could transfer it directly without getting the other shareholders’ approval.However, after Quinn Forester took over, he had purged Forester Corporation ruthlessly, which made the other Foresters fear him. So, how dared he try to get a share of Forester Corporation?Jenna smiled. “Yes.”Sebastian laughed coldly and threw the document onto the table
