Everyone looked at Benedict.
Benedict had only been looking at Minerva, but she didn't look at him. Instead, she turned the pages of the documents in front of her with a casual look.
She looked like she didn't care about him at all. This made Benedict angry.
She hated and detested him just like that?
What if his plan continued to go on?
"Are you questioning my ability? Actually, I know that compared to Maddox, I'm indeed not strong enough. However, I've been training myself over the years. Now that Maddox isn't around, Yardley Corporation can't be left unattended. You're all old and many things were beyond your abilities. That's why I want to attend Yardley Corporation as the president. I don't have any intentions of replacing him. Uncles, please don't misunderstand me," Benedict explained.
His words were extremely sincere.
However, Albert didn't buy it at all. He snorted when he heard the words.
'You thought that we're kids? Don't say such beautiful words," said Albert.
Sam agreed and nodded. "Mr. Clark is right. Being the president temporarily, you're just making your intentions sound beautiful. The feud between you and our Young Master Yardley is well known by everybody. What's more, you left the Yardley Corporation a few years ago."
"You!"
Benedict didn't expect his words to be so unpleasant. His face looked a little unsightly.
Old Master Yardley was angry. "How presumptuous. You're just an assistant. How dare you say that?" After that, Old Master Yardley looked at Minerva and said sternly, "Who allowed you to sit in that seat? Even if you're Maddox's wife, you have no right to replace him in that position!"
"Yes, even if you are Maddox's wife, you don't have real power. It's unreasonable for you to sit in that position and take charge of these for him."
Everyone began to protest. Minerva looked at the situation in front of her and knew that she must show them the documents now. She smiled and asked, "What if I have the shares of the Yardley Corporation in my hands?"
"What?"
Everyone was a little surprised. "Why would the shares of Yardley Corporation be in your hands?"
"Could it be that Maddox gave it to her?"
Benedict's face changed then he squinted his eyes.
He never thought about this before. He thought that Maddox wouldn't be such a person. Even if he liked Minerva, he would not give her the shares.
Moreover, the wedding hadn't been formally held yet. How would he be willing to give Minerva his shares?
"Even if Young Master Yardley gave you shares, so what? All of us here have shares. But it does not mean that we can replace Young Master Yardley," one of the shareholders said.
Minerva lowered her head and passed the documents in her hand to Albert, who was seated closest to her. Sam walked and stood between Minerva and Albert.
Albert thought that it was a transfer book. At first, he thought that Maddox might have given a little share to Minerva. But after reading the contents of the contract, Albert opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
Everyone looked at Albert curiously. They really wanted to know the contents of the contract.
"This..." Albert murmured.
Albert closed the contract and returned it to Minerva. He stood up solemnly and nodded at Minerva. "You do have the rights to sit here."
