Mr. Grant Treats Me Like a Treasure-Chapter 344 - 343: The Reversal Was Too Fast
Two groups of people came in one after another, Joel Quinn and Claire Sullivan entered first. Claire sat directly in the top position, giving Joel a look as she sat down, signaling him to feel at ease.
Joel and his group waited in the conference room for other shareholders, looking like the masters of The Sullivan Corporation.
Claire, who came in behind them, nodded to Joel upon entering.
Receiving her look, Joel felt even more assured, and as he sat down, he straightened his suit and glanced around, exuding an aura of disdain for the entire room.
After today, The Sullivan Corporation would be his!
Having been slapped by Joel, Zoe Quinn went to the restroom to touch up her makeup before entering and chose a seat directly opposite Serena Sullivan.
Hmph, let Serena gloat for a while.
The atmosphere in the conference room inevitably turned heavy and tense.
The minor shareholders knew this was the climax of The Sullivan Family’s internal struggle for wealth, each choosing to remain neutral, only watching the drama unfold without interfering.
Soon, the shareholder meeting of The Sullivan Corporation began, hosted by the most senior director who had been with the company for many years. The proceedings started with some inconsequential routines, leaving everyone listening to them listlessly.
"The last item." As soon as the director finished speaking, Joel Quinn lightly coughed and sat up straight.
Distracted by her phone, Zoe also looked up, smiling at the director.
The last item was to announce who held the most shares and, in the absence of objections, select them as the controller of The Sullivan Corporation.
"With Mr. Sullivan’s passing, all his shares were given to Miss Serena Sullivan, along with those she originally held..."
Joel and Zoe found nothing amiss with these statements.
It was factual—most importantly, they believed Claire wouldn’t dare deceive them.
"Miss Serena Sullivan, having the most shares, gains control over The Sullivan Corporation." The director finished simply and returned to his seat.
Joel and Zoe were still waiting for the director’s follow-up words, but suddenly there was no continuation, leaving them somewhat perplexed.
"Why is it Serena? Wasn’t it said that Claire held the most shares?"
"Yeah, Director Cheney’s shares were supposed to go to her, what’s going on?"
The others present also began to discuss, unable to believe what they heard, but soon accepting it.
They were merely employees; who controlled The Sullivan Corporation did not greatly affect them as long as the boss was competent.
The most affected and least accepting were Joel and Zoe.
"What did you say?"
After a long pause, Joel finally spoke up.
He had waited for a long time without hearing further words from the director, nor from other shareholders, and slowly he began to realize.
"Director, thank you." Serena first said with a smile, "Meeting adjourned."
With Serena’s words, the people in the conference room began to act, showing Joel and Zoe through their actions who they listened to and who now was the head of The Sullivan Corporation!
"Why are you listening to her!"
Zoe, seeing people from The Sullivan Corporation
Utterly bewildered and shocked, Zoe saw everyone from The Sullivan Corporation listening to Serena, standing up without a care for her usual delicate image, and went over to grab these people, saying, "This is The Sullivan Corporation; it’s my dad’s!"
The more she shouted, the angrier she became; the more she yelled, the more she could not believe that all of this was real.
The reversal came too quickly.
What was wrong with these people! The Sullivan Corporation was obviously her dad’s; it was hers!
Why was everyone listening to Serena, why had everything changed?
No matter how Zoe clutched onto people, regardless of what she said, she was pushed away, one person finally unable to tolerate her, said sarcastically, "This is The Sullivan Corporation; it’s The Sullivan Family’s!"
