His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 900

Since Southall Group was ajoint-stock company, the court took all of Henrick's shares after he was sentenced to prison.

His shares were then handed to the state's treasury. There, it was used to compensate the villagers for their monetary losses. Those shares were also utilized to restore the geological damage caused by the mining project.

The meeting between Southall Group's shareholders happened to fall on that very same day as they planned to elect a new chairman.

In the newly refurbished meeting room of Southall Group, two groups were locked in a face-off. The leaders of these respective groups were none other than Jacob Campbell, a representative of Henrick, and Oliver Moore, who held the largest portion of shares amongst the Moores. They each owned fifteen percent of Southall Group's shares.

Before this, Cindy had bribed Oliver to gain his support. Nevertheless, their alliance fell apart as they both sought after the position as Southall Group's new chairman.

At the height of their heated arguments, Oliver slammed his fist on the table and thundered, “Let's decide this by casting our votes!”

Upon Oliver's suggestion, Jacob fell silent.

Since this company originally belonged to the Moores, their shares and members on the board of directors vastly outnumbered his supporters.

If they proceeded with the voting process, there was no doubt that Jacob would lose.

“I disagree with this idea!” Jacob leaped to his feet and pointed a threatening finger at Oliver. “You must have plotted for this ever since Mr. Southall was sentenced to jail. Did you contact the directors and other shareholders to manipulate the voting process?

Oliver merely sneered as he let out a bark of wry laughter. “This company has always belonged to the Moores. Why has an outsider like you taken an interest in it? Are you trying to take over this company?

“Not at all. I'm simply trying to expand and improve this company.”

“If we don't decide this by voting, what do you suggest we do to elect our new chairman?” Oliver asked.

Jacob cleared his throat and said, “I think we should let the majority shareholder become the chairman.”
