The people nearby nodded, echoing her sentiments,

Cyrus Lynch laughed. “You’re too kind. I’m just an average person like the rest of us. We’re

all here to serve the company. Why single me out?” Even as he said this, the smugness in

his eyes was obvious.

Pearl glanced at him and snorted. “What a hypocrite!”

Cyrus’s expression darkened upon hearing Pearl’s blunt remark.

The middle–aged woman shot Pearl a cold glance. “Miss Pearl, I understand that

you may not be pleased with this decision, but it’s the reality we face. We’re about to hold

a vote to finalize it. If more than half of the shares support Mister Cyrus, he will be the new

president of our company.”

Pearl nodded thoughtfully. “I’m sure no one has more shares than me here, right?”

Cyrus smiled amiably. “Absolutely With Mister Richard absent, you are the biggest

shareholder.”

Pearl smiled back, but she couldn’t hide her disgust at Cyrus’s confident look. “Very well,

then. I will cast my vote for Richard, and I don’t see anything wrong with that.” She stood

up. and smoothed her hair. “I believe that my shares, combined with Richard’s, are

enough to reject your proposal.”

Cyrus wasn’t surprised by her response. In fact, he patiently explained, “Miss Pearl, you

might not be aware of this, but in order for a shareholder’s vote to count, they need to be

physically present to cast their vote. Unfortunately, Mister Richard..

”

Pearl’s heart skipped a beat. As expected, Cyrus was a cunning old fox. There was a trap

laid out for her. “So, you mean you will be elected as the new president then?”

Pearl’s straightforwardness left Cyrus flustered. “No, we have to go through the voting

process…”

Cyrus wanted to continue, but a cold voice interrupted him from the doorway.

“What if my thirty percent of the shares are counted?”

Cyrus turned around in disbelief upon hearing the familiar voice. At the sight of Richard’s

cold expression, he couldn’t help but blurt out, “Richard?”

His anxiety caused him to forget to address Richard with the customary respect. Instead,

he used Richard’s first name.

He hadn’t anticipated that Richard would recover and return to the company. He had been

one step away from becoming the legal president of Waldorf Enterprises!

Gritting his teeth in anger, Cyrus couldn’t find any other words. He suffered in silence,

mumbling, “You’ve finally returned, Mister Richard. We were just discussing some ideas for

the company’s future… We still need your guidance.”

He was full of remorse and pain, as he had spent a few hundred thousand dollars the day

before to make everyone vote for him. But now, it has all been wasted.

“But I don’t think you were joking, Mister Cyrus.” Richard didn’t believe Cyrus’s words. He

walked over to Pearl, who wisely vacated her seat for him. “I’ve recovered, and I’m able to

work normally. Today is Friday, and we should hold the shareholders‘ meeting to discuss

the company’s development.”

Richard’s statement sent shivers down everyone’s spine.
