"Stephen, all that will be realized.” Rebecca gnashed her teeth. "But it may be delayed for a while. Catherine Jones suddenly appeared in today's shareholders' meeting. She's now... the new chairwoman..."
"What?” Stephen yelled. "Didn’t you say that you’re 90 % sure your dad will be chairman? What are you and your father doing? You can’t even handle Catherine Jones."
Rebecca's face felt hot as she said unpleasantly, "How would we know that she would team up with Chris Jefferson? We were also caught off guard.”
"Well, I even went around saying that my girlfriend is the daughter of Hudson's chairman. What a disgrace.
"...I don't want this anymore."
Rebecca’s voice choked. "Stephen, what do you mean b y that? Do you hate me now because my dad didn't get the position of chairman?" 2
Stephen suddenly snapped back to his senses. Even if Rebecca was not the daughter of Hudson's chairman, a year of dividends was much better than the riches outside. He hurriedly laughed and said, "Of course not, don't overthink it. I’m just outraged by the injustice done to you. I like you, not your identity." 1
"Don't worry. This is only temporary. Catherine won't sit in the position of chairwoman for long," Rebecca said viciously.
"You’re right. It's not easy to stabilize that position." Stephen also smiled grimly. "I’ll spare no effort to help you."
"Thank you."
12:20 pm.
The meeting ended.
One by one, the shareholders shook hands with her and left politely.
"Chairman Jones, I'll take you to your office." The chairwoman's assistant, Kacey Lane, came up to Catherine with a wide stride. She was behaving diligently.
