Chapter 250: Chapter 245
Upon hearing this, Carlos imdiately frowned, his gaze becoming sharp.
The Old Lady Carter’s intention couldn’t be clearer, she wants to hand over the Carter Clan entirely to Evan Palr.
“Grandmother, mother has already awakened.”
Carlos’s tone was calm,
“Mother has been serving as the acting chairperson for these years, shouldn’t you ask for her opinion first?
After all, mother is your and grandfather’s only child.”
He slightly raised his head, looking straight at the Old Lady Carter in the phone screen.
Carlos knew very well that this was not just about securing his mother’s rightful interests, but also about the future direction of Carter Clan Group.
He recalled his childhood, seeing his mother busy in the group, those days and nights she toiled for the developnt of Carter Clan, and now it seed like her efforts were to be easily handed over to others, he really couldn’t sit idly by.
Back when mother and father were together, it caused a huge uproar within the family.
It was said that grandfather strongly opposed the marriage, but grandmother was very supportive, and she had a very firm attitude back then.
Ultimately, grandfather couldn’t win over grandmother and mother, and after many considerations, he agreed to the marriage.
And now, facing such a major decision on group affairs, Carlos couldn’t help but wonder if grandmother was not considering his mother’s feelings?
“Your mother hasn’t been in good health for these years, it’s always your father assisting her.”
The Old Lady Carter’s expression was indifferent, her words authoritative and uncompromising,
“But as for you, you have joined the group for so long and didn’t manage to help your mother, indicating that you don’t have managent capabilities. This decision was made by and the board after comprehensive consideration.”
Her tone beca colder.
Emily Parker felt the hand holding hers tremble slightly.
She turned to look at Carlos, seeing him pressing his lips tightly, at this mont, Emily felt a surge of uncontrollable impulse.
“Old lady, you are mistaken.”
Emily took a deep breath, gathered her courage, and said crisply and firmly,
“Carlos is not without talent.
During these few months, he has revived Carter Automotive from the brink of bankruptcy, and moreover, he facilitated the cooperation between Carter Clan and Sterling Research Institute.”
She slightly raised her chin, looking steadily at the Old Lady Carter in the phone screen,
“I think you’ve been abroad for too long, to the extent that you are not aware of the dostic situation.”
While saying this, Emily felt Evan’s displeased gaze.
But she didn’t care about that, at this mont she was fully intent on rectifying Carlos’s reputation, hoping the Old Lady Carter would reassess her judgnt of Carlos.
“Insolent! Is this how you speak to your elders?”
Evan shouted angrily, his voice echoing in the sowhat empty corridor.
He stepped forward, pointing at Emily, in his opinion, Emily, as a junior, dared to openly refute the Old Lady Carter, which was simply ill-mannered.
Carlos also looked sowhat surprised at Emily beside him. He slightly widened his eyes, full of delight.
They were still cold towards each other just yesterday, silent in a quarrel. But at this mont, she stood up without hesitation, arguing strongly for him.
This woman’s transformation made Carlos feel both surprised and moved.
His mouth curved up involuntarily, the gloomy mood caused by the Old Lady Carter’s words suddenly felt like clearing after the rain at this mont.
This feeling of being defended by soone he cared about was like warm sunlight in winter, spreading warmly in his heart, which felt really nice.
“Are you saying I am outdated?”
The Old Lady Carter’s originally gentle face instantly cracked, replaced by the anger of being offended, her gaze shot towards Emily like an ice blade,
“You, a re small nurse, what qualifications do you have to talk to about company managent?”
She had long obtained all information about Emily from Evan.
In her eyes, Emily was rely an illegitimate daughter born to a mistress, with a humble background.
Being unmarried but pregnant at a young age, such “scandalous” behavior already made her disdain her.
Not to ntion even cutting off family ties, in the view of the traditional and conservative Old Lady Carter, this was utterly undutiful behavior.
At this mont Emily dared to contradict her, making her dislike for Emily deepen further, and her tone beca even more acerbic.
“Grandmother, I have already said.
She is my wife.”
Carlos stepped forward, firmly protecting Emily behind him like an unbreakable wall, his gaze resolute, looking directly at the Old Lady Carter, he said resolutely,
“What she said is what I an.
I am also a mber of the board. I do not agree with Evan Palr being the acting chairman.”
“I do not recognize her as your wife.”
The Old Lady Carter’s voice was sharp and cold, her gaze filled with disgust as she looked at Emily,
“An ill-mannered illegitimate daughter, how is she fit to be the future Young Madam of our Carter Clan?”
She paused slightly, her tone beca even more fierce, “The child in her womb, I will have soone make her abort it.”
These words were like a sharp blade, stabbing directly at Emily. Emily instinctively held her belly with her hand, anger in her eyes.
“Grandmother, that is my child, my wife, you have no right to decide how to handle it.”
Carlos’s brow furrowed tightly, veins bulging slightly on his forehead, his voice trembled slightly due to anger, his heart already burning with rage.
He never thought that grandmother could be so heartless to say such things.
“Since you want this wife and this child.”
The Old Lady Carter was unmoved, her tone still tough with no room for compromise,
“Then I formally notify you, from today, you are no longer a mber of the board.”
Her gaze was cold, in her eyes, anyone who defied her will must be punished, even her own grandson was no exception.
“Mother, I do not agree with your decision.”
Just when Carlos and the Old Lady Carter were at loggerheads, the atmosphere intense, the door to the ward creaked open slowly.
Mrs. Carter was pallid, weakly sitting in a wheelchair, Maria Carter anxiously, cautiously pushing her out.
The faces of the mother and daughter were full of anxiety, clearly having heard the quarrel outside from within the ward.
“Why did you co out?”
Evan’s face changed dramatically, he hurried a few steps to et them, reaching out to push Mrs. Carter back into the ward, continuously saying,
“Don’t worry, mom won’t harm us.”
His voice carried so placation, usually Mrs. Goldsmith listened to him, but this ti, Mrs. Carter was unusually firm, she swatted his hand away.
