My Second Husband novel Chapter 435

Didn't they already settle on a collaboration? How was it possible that the contract had already been announced?

Those who were on Steven's side began to turn their backs on him again.

"President Granger, you're not lying to us, are you?"

Steven was extremely annoyed.

He immediately looked at his assistant and instructed, "Call them and get me an explanation on this matter."

The assistant immediately left the room. He came back after a short while and nodded at Steven, reporting, "The news has been confirmed. The TAG Group has indeed signed the contract."

Bethany suppressed the urge to laugh, "Steven, you shouldn't have lied. I understand that you wish to contribute to the company. This mentality is worthy of praise, but your methods are inappropriate. We are all your elders here, how could you lie to us?"

Those who had been trying to curry favor with Steven a while ago all turned their backs and began to condemn him after hearing what Bethany had said.

"Yes, Madam Bethany is right. You have indeed gone too far! Fortunately, we are all your elders here. If there had been any outsiders here, not only would this be considered lying, but you would have been regarded as a complete fraud!"

"We are disappointed in you!"

"I honestly think that we should just elect another President. After all, Steven is just the Acting President at this moment."

"Yes! We should elect a new President for Valiant East!"

The crowd echoed their sentiments immediately.

Bethany immediately straightened her back, looking visibly delighted. She had already made the arrangements beforehand and she was certain that her name would be brought up in a while.

As expected, a proposal was made consequently, followed by rounds of echo.

"Madam Bethany holds the largest portion of shares in the company now. She should be the next President."

"In my opinion, Madam Bethany is qualified enough to become the Chairman!"

"I heard that Madam Bethany was a capable businesswoman before joining the Granger family. I have faith in you, Madam Bethany."

Bethany waved her hands immediately, saying, "Everyone, please hold on for a moment. I have yet to contribute anything to the company, hence I do not deserve such praises. Let's leave the compliments until I have actually accomplished something for the company, alright?"

She was so modest that everyone gave her another round of applause. Steven watched this scene unfold before him with a cold look and felt as though he had fallen into an ice pit.

It seemed that the outcome had been set. At this moment, someone came in the door, "It's so lively here!"

Steven was stunned and he stood up abruptly.

"Amos, you're here!"

However, he seemed to recall that Amos and Bethany were working together to bring him down. A scheming lot they were...

Thinking of this, Steven fell silent again.

Bethany was startled and she turned her head in shock. However, she regained her composure rapidly and asked, "Amos, why are you here? You haven't been home for quite some time. I even thought of asking you to come home for dinner!"

Amos smiled, especially after seeing how Bethany was trying to keep up with the amiable facade.

"I'll pass for dinner. I heard that you are all here to reelect the President today, hence I came here to have a look. Legally speaking, I'm still a shareholder of the company. Therefore, I am allowed to participate in this as well, right?"

Bethany's expression turned rigid for a moment, but she laughed the awkwardness off hurriedly, "Of course!"

Steven looked from the side and suddenly realized that he had been deceived by Bethany all this while!
