Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 852: You Have a Fever
Sister-in-law Chapman didnโt hesitate for a moment and reached out to touch Scarlett Yatesโ forehead.
The moment she touched it, she was shocked. ๐๐ง๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐ธ๐๐๐.๐๐๐
Scarlett Yatesโ forehead was as hot as burning coals, clearly indicating a high fever.
"Miss Yates, you have a fever, how could it be nothing?"
Just as Sister-in-law Chapman finished speaking, Scarlett shivered and coughed a few times. Her face, already pale, became even paler.
"Miss Yates, Iโll call the Young Master right away to have him arrange for a doctor to see you."
"Iโm really fine, no need to bother him over something so trivial." Scarlett, burning with fever, had lips that were dry and peeling. Sister-in-law Chapman quickly brought her some hot water to moisten her mouth and took out a thick coat for her to wear.
"Miss Yates, youโre having a high fever, how could it be something trivial? The Young Master repeatedly instructed us to take good care of you. Now that youโre sick, oh dear, if the Young Master finds out, wonโt he blame us for not taking good care of you?" Sister-in-law Chapman spoke worriedly, furrowing her brows.
"Iโm really fine, just need a good sleep."
Scarlett said, shivering as she spoke, occasionally coughing...
Seeing her in such a state, how could Sister-in-law Chapman delay any further? Regardless of Scarlettโs objections, she immediately decided to notify Maxwell Saxon.
Sister-in-law Chapman called in a maid to watch over Scarlett in the room and had someone quickly brew a strong ginger soup, while she made a phone call to Maxwell Saxon.
--
Maxwell Saxon was in a meeting when he received the call from Sister-in-law Chapman.
A very important meeting.
Considering that the President of Seymour, Matthew Saxon, had been missing for four days, someone needed to temporarily manage the companyโs affairs, and naturally, Maxwell Saxon was the most suitable candidate.
More than half of the shareholders cast their approving votes for him, but there were still a few who refused to take a stance, saying they wanted to wait and see.
What were they waiting for? Of course, for Matthew Saxon to return.
These few were essentially Seymourโs senior figures with significant shares and substantial influence.
For the moment, the proposal at the meeting reached a deadlock between two parties, neither able to persuade the other.
"The Chairman didnโt mention anything about the director having the power to handle all the Presidentโs affairs during his absence when he left. The President has only been gone for four days; thereโs no urgent need to select an acting President yet."
"If thereโs truly major business, forming a shareholder meeting to handle it collectively would do. Is choosing an acting President now too premature?"
"I agree, I donโt support this, letโs discuss it later."
The three of Roy Saxonโs old subordinates were firm in their stance, unwilling to compromise at all.
The other supporting shareholders looked displeased and retorted, "Everyone else agreed, isnโt it too stubborn for just a few of you to disagree?"
"The director is also the Chairmanโs son, isnโt it reasonable for him to temporarily assume the Presidentโs position? What are you opposing?"
The two opposing factions argued on and on.
After debating for a while without anyone convincing the other, they tossed the issue back to Maxwell Saxon, urging him to immediately express his position.
According to the customary voting procedure, even though Maxwell Saxon had more supporters, the shares held by the three veteran shareholders were equal to those held by the other eight.
