Chapter 635
At the conference room of the Everett Group on Monday.
The shareholders began to discuss and whisper, “Joanna is actually holding a general meeting. What’s going on?”
“I don’t know, but I guess it’s about Mr. Everett.”
“I heard that Mr. Everett has passed the critical period. He might really wake up.”
When another shareholder, Mr. Young, heard this, his face was filled with disbelief. “Ah! No way? He hurt so badly.
Can he still be saved? I heard that the doctor has already announced his death.”
Mr. Obrien continued, “He was resuscitated afterward! I heard that he received gene regeneration shots every day
for more than a month. He also had to undergo various rehabilitation treatments. He spent tens of millions of
dollars on medical fees for a month. So, of course, he would be doing well now.”
“How could money be compared to life? If it were me, I would definitely do the same.”
When Mr. Bourn heard this, he could not help but tease, “Ah, Mr. Everett’s life is really tough!”
“That’s right. He’s too tough. Look at Mr. Everett. He was a jinx to his family. He lost his parents and siblings at an
early age, but for some reason, he didn’t jinx his wife. It’s magical. Haha.”
“Who said that he isn’t a jinx to his wife? His ex-wife was almost jinxed to death several times. Fortunately, she’s
divorced now. Otherwise, she would have been jinxed too!”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Mr. Everett’s life is too tough. I wonder if he’ll jinx his kid?” The more Mr. Obrien spoke, the more
excited he became. He almost forgot his manners.
When the others heard this, they stared at Mr. Obrien in shock. “What do you mean by that? Are you cursing Mr.
Everett’s child?”
Mr. Obrien also realized that he had gone overboard and quickly tried to make up for it. “I, I don’t mean anything.
I’m just… I’m just feeling emotional!”
“Stop talking. Mr. Miller is here.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe office door was pushed open. Liam and Evan walked in with gloomy expressions.
During this period of time, Liam brought his son to the company and promoted him to vice president. It was obvious
that he wanted to nurture his son to be the successor.
More accurately, he was trying to take over the Everett Group by making his son the heir of the Everett Group.
“Mr. Miller, good morning!”
“Good morning, everyone.” Liam strolled to the center of the conference table and sat down in the seat where
Bruce had previously sat.
“Joanna has gathered everyone for a general meeting today. What do you all think?” Liam wanted to check out
everyone’s attitude first.
After all, he had guessed that Joanna’s return was definitely not a good thing. At least for him, it was not a good
thing. “Well, let’s see what she has to say first!”
The other shareholders also nodded. “That’s right. Let’s see what Ms. Haynes has to say first.”
As they were talking, the conference room’s door was pushed open.
Andy, Mark, Darcy, and Gael walked in one after another.
Then, Joanna walked in.
“Good morning, everyone.”
When everyone saw Joanna, they subconsciously replied, “Morning, Ms. Haynes.”
Joanna was wearing a black suit with a striped shirt underneath today. She had black-framed glasses on her face
and looked solemn and calm.
She walked directly past the others and went to Liam’s side.
When Liam saw this, he snorted and pretended that nothing had happened. He did not move, nor did he have any
intention of giving up his position.
Joanna did not say anything and just stood beside him. Then, she supported herself with her arm on the desk and
looked around at everyone. “I called you for a general meeting today because I have something to announce.”
“Ms. Haynes, what do you have to announce?”
Joanna gave Andy a quick glance.
Andy understood instantly and looked at everyone calmly. He said coldly, “From tomorrow onwards, Ms. Haynes will
officially return to the company to work.”
After everyone heard it, they were all looking at each other confused.
Liam was the first to express his dissatisfaction. “Ms. Haynes, did I hear it wrong? You’ll work at the company?”
Joanna stared at Liam and replied calmly, “Yeah, you heard it right!”
“Humph, what position do you want to take? The company doesn’t keep slackers.”
Mr. Young immediately chimed in, “Yeah, Ms. Haynes, you are still pregnant. There’s no suitable position for you in
the company.”
“I’m coming back to work, obviously in my previous position.”
When everyone heard this, they stared at each other confused.
“Wasn’t Joanna’s previous position acting president?” they wondered.
Evan sneered. “Ms. Haynes, may I ask what makes you qualified for that position?”
When Joanna heard this, she looked down at Evan. “Because I’m Bruce’s ex-wife, I have an obligation to help him
manage his company well.”
When Liam heard this, he could not hold it in anymore. He retorted, “You are not one of the Everett Group’s
shareholders, let alone Bruce’s legal spouse. What right do you have for the position of acting president?”
“This is what Bruce meant. I think he wants me to take care of his work for him, too.”
“Humph, Ms. Haynes, may I ask if Mr. Everett is awake? Does he have a clear order?”
After hearing it, Joanna was speechless. Bruce was still unconscious, and it was impossible for him to issue any
orders..
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLiam would definitely grasp this point and delay her coming back endlessly.
Seeing that Joanna was silent, Liam grasped the main point. “If it’s indeed Mr. Everett’s instructions, then we will
definitely obey. But now that Mr. Everett is in a coma, the company is already in a precarious situation.
“I’m sorry, but we can’t put the future of the company on you.”
Joanna scanned the crowd coldly. “Bruce had previously appointed me as the Everett Group’s acting president
when he was at the detention center.
“He’s in a coma now. Naturally, I’ll continue to hold the position of president for him until he wakes up.”
“Humph, it’s true that Mr. Everett asked you to be the acting president. But you also said that that was before, and
this is
now.
“If you want to take on the position of acting president, either Mr. Everett himself appoints you, or everyone yotes.
“If all the shareholders present vote for you, you will naturally be appointed as the president of the Everett Group.”
When Joanna heard this, she smiled coldly. “Mr. Miller, your words are a little unreasonable.
“As you know, Bruce is still in a coma. How is it possible for him to appoint me personally?”
Liam shrugged proudly. “Then we can only let everyone vote. There are 21 shareholders in the company. If more
than half of them support you taking the position of acting president, I have no objections.”
He knew that the shareholders would not choose Joanna as the acting president. He was just provoking her on
purpose.
Mr. Young had already taken the lead. “I object.”
Mr. Obrien followed suit and said, “Uh, I object too.”
Seeing that someone objected, Mr. Bourn immediately echoed, “I object too. Anyway, I won’t agree to Joanna being
president.”
Seeing this, Liam glanced at Joanna triumphantly.
Now, he was racing against time to earn money. As long as he stayed in the position of president for one more day,
he could make an extra day’s worth of money.
