Her voice held the pride of a grand victory.

Seeing the terrible state of Yaxing, she knew the opportunity had arrived. She immediately persuaded the senior executives to join her in pushing Ye Lu out.

Shang Jingchen was somewhat hesitant, so she promptly whispered in his ear, saying that if they didn’t seize the chance to kick out Ye Lu now, Ye Lu would surely find a way to snatch his power and the remaining shares, and the Shang Group would become the Ye Group.

Upon hearing this, Shang Jingchen thought of Ye Lu’s desperate measures to marry into the Shang family for its wealth. His face turned cold instantly, deciding he couldn’t show mercy to this woman.

Ye Lu was shocked beyond belief. This woman actually took this opportunity to strip her of her position and shares.

"What kind of joke is this? The stock price was attacked the day I arrived. Unless your heads were jammed in a door, you should know clearly this is not my responsibility, considering I haven’t even started taking over the company. To use this as an excuse to kick me out of the board and mortgage my shares, I refuse to comply!" she responded deeply.

She didn’t care about the role of director or ownership of shares. This was just the backup plan carefully devised by Old Sir Shang, even if it meant falling out with Shang Jingchen over it.

If this path was blocked from the beginning, Yuan Jiayin would then do as she pleased with the entire Shang family in the future.

This was absolutely unacceptable. It would kill Old Sir Shang from anger.

Yuan Jiayin sneered, "Whether you comply or not, you have to. The board has the right to revoke your position by voting, and the losses of Yaxing will be covered by your shares. Everything is calculated from the day you joined the company. Even if it’s not your fault, you have to take responsibility."

"This is clearly a malicious exclusion."

"So what? Who told you to be so unfortunate to run into this? If you’re smart, Ye Lu, you should proactively divorce Shang Jingchen. Otherwise, there will be more suffering to come. Standing in my way, I’ll make you more humiliated than everything that happened in the church times a thousand." Yuan Jiayin threatened ominously before hanging up the phone.

Ye Lu clenched her fists in rage. Was she just going to admit defeat and let this woman frame her without fighting back?

The majority of the board had obviously been bought over by them. Seeking support on her own likely wouldn’t make a difference, unless she could resolve the matter with Yaxing, leaving them speechless and without an excuse.

Otherwise, she would have to swallow the bitter pill and end up being cunningly ousted.

But thinking of Third Young Master Jun’s threats, she broke into cold sweats. If she went begging for mercy, she would fall right into his sinister grasp, unable to escape. The thought of his terror made her afraid. It was such a struggle to rid herself of him. Was she going back into the trap?

No, she didn’t want to get entangled with this man or become his captive.

I’m sorry, Old Sir Shang!

She bowed her head in extreme guilt.

Suddenly, several executives rushed in, panic written on their faces, "General Manager, something terrible has happened. There’s a riot happening in one of our production factories, and the workers are protesting. They’re desperately seizing machines and smashing things." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Ye Lu’s face abruptly changed, "Any casualties?"

"None reported so far, but if this continues, it might lead to serious trouble."

Ye Lu’s heart pounded violently as she clenched her fist in rage. Third Young Master Jun, this ruthless man had gone too far. To drive her into a corner, he was even willing to resort to such a despicable tactic.

This kind of chaos could easily lead to casualties. What if someone actually died in the turmoil?
