A heavy silence permeated the room, the air thick with unvoiced tension.

Wayne, his brow furrowed in displeasure, addressed the man at the head of the table. "You've arrived late even

for a shareholders' meeting, Alexander. Do you truly believe you still hold the right to that seat?" Alexander

swiveled his head to meet Wayne's gaze. "The meeting was scheduled for half past nine, and it's merely nine

now. Is that considered tardy?""Everyone else has arrived. Are we expected to delay proceedings solely for your

convenience?""So, you've begun in my absence?"

Alexander retorted with a cool indifference. "Proceed, then. Where did you pause? Voting, wasn't it? As a

shareholder, am | not entitled to cast my vote?"Wayne didn't mince his words. "Didn't you resign? We're in the

midst of choosing a new CEO. Since you've graced us with your presence, feel free to voice your opinion."His

next words were a clear indication of the result. "Regardless, the voting is concluded. Even with your vote, the

tally stands at seven to six." Alexander fell into a brief silence before a chuckle escaped his lips. His laughter, in

such a tense situation, seemed inconceivable to the others. With a casual wave of his hand, Alexander signaled

Kyle Astor, who promptly understood and brought forth a document.

Alexander tossed it onto the table with a declarative statement. "Then, it's t| exercised my

rights.""According to the bylaws, ownership of more than 34% grants veto power. Regrettably, I've just

surpassed that threshold with 35%. Consequently, | declare your vote null and void."

The announcement incited an uproar amongst the shareholders, with Wayne being the most affected."How...how

is this possible?"

Wayne stammered, snatching the document and flipping through it in disbelief.Wayne initially held a 50% share,

but he had distributed some. Between Freya and Alexander, they held thirty percent, and he'd gifted Kaitlyn

another three percent.

This meant that even if he reclaimed Valerie's shares, he'd only possess twenty-seven percent. This was the

exact reason he had convened this shareholders’ meeting instead of directly appointing the CEO.He had thought

himself astute, confident that even after distributing shares, he'd remain the majority shareholder, with Valerie's

shares virtually his to reclaim at any time.

He needed a successor, and Alexander's competence had impressed him, leading to his decision to allocate

shares.But by the the recognized the peril, it was too late.

Wayne could count and recount, but he couldn't decipher where Alexander had acquired the additional

shares.Freya's and Kaitlyn's shares amounted to a maximum of 24%. So where had this 35% originated?All the

shareholders were present.

An extra ten percent from where?"Could it be that you..." Wayne began, but Alexander cut him off with an

enigmatic smile. "Mr. Landry, you can ponder over it later. For now, we need to address the company's pressing

issues."

"Since we're discussing elections, let's revisit what Mr. Landry just mentioned. It's true | had contemplated

resigning previously, but considering Mr. Landry's current contributions to the company, his shareholdings, and

the company's policies, he no longer qualifies to serve as the chairman of the board."

"Alexander, you're crossing a line!"

Wayne exploded, slamming his hand

on the table, causing a water bottle to

topple over.Unfazed, Alexander

continued, "Oh, and let's not forget

operations-seriously violating the

board's regulations should be

removed from their position and

stripped of their board

membership."In the spirit of fairness,

let's put it to a vote. "Alexander,

leaning casually against the edge of

the table, slightly lifted his hand and

said, "All in favor of removing Wayne

from his position and the board of

directors, please raise your

hand."Wayne's face twisted with fury.

What rule violation? It was nothing

but baseless accusations! He was

hell-bent on expelling him from the

board, wasn't he? The content is on
