Chapter 251: Chapter 246
The atmosphere in the hospital corridor was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe, and the air seed to have solidified.
Mrs. Carter looked somber, her voice hoarse and full of self-reproach as she talked to Old Lady Carter on the video call,
“Mom, I have a responsibility for what happened to Dad, I couldn’t take good care of him.
If you want to step down as acting chairman, I have no objections.”
As soon as she said this, the frown on Old Lady Carter’s face slowly eased, and Evan Palr, who was beside her, also sighed in relief. The expressions of both of them softened sowhat.
Old Lady Carter nodded slightly, and for once, her usually stern and rigid face revealed a rare hint of a smile,
“It’s good that you think this way. You are a woman, not suited to be out in the public. It’s best to stay ho and take care of your health.
When the company is handed over to Evan…”
“I also agree with Carlos leaving the board.”
Mrs. Carter suddenly interrupted, cutting off Old Lady Carter’s words. Old Lady Carter’s face darkened instantly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, clearly unhappy with her daughter’s abrupt interjection.
However, upon hearing that her daughter didn’t oppose the idea of Carlos relinquishing his power, she reluctantly nodded, her expression slightly better.
“Mom!”
Maria Carter looked shocked, unable to believe that her mother, who always doted on her elder sister, would agree with her grandmother and father’s decision.
Her eyes were full of disbelief as she looked back and forth between Old Lady Carter and Evan Palr on the video call, then glanced at Mrs. Carter with a calm face, seemingly searching for a trace of regret on her mother’s face.
When Carlos heard his mother’s words, his gaze froze instantly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He clenched his fists slightly, his knuckles turning white from the pressure. He couldn’t believe that even his own mother wanted to expel him from the Carter Clan.
“Carlos, you have greatly disappointed .”
Mrs. Carter’s eyes, usually filled with gentle smiles, were now as cold as ice, staring straight at her son, full of disappointnt.
“You are married, yet you are still entangled with other won.”
When Carlos heard this, he instantly furrowed his brow, a flicker of panic and more confusion flashed in his eyes.
He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but found himself speechless.
anwhile, Evan Palr’s lips curved into a fleeting triumphant smile, which was quickly caught by Emily Parker’s sharp eyes.
It turned out that Mrs. Carter’s sudden collapse was all Evan Palr’s doing.
Evan Palr had ticulously selected a photo of Carlos fighting in a bar and hastily leaving while protecting a woman, and showed it to Mrs. Carter.
Not only that, he also compiled detailed docunts, recording Carlos’ ongoing secret funding of a female university student and even arranging a job for her within the Carter Clan.
Upon seeing this so-called “evidence,” Mrs. Carter’s blood pressure surged. Then she heard the news of Elder Carter’s sudden illness and couldn’t handle it, fainting as everything went black.
“It’s great that you can think this way.
The Carter Clan is your father’s hard-earned foundation, it should be handed over to the right person.
As for Carlos and Maria, you don’t need to worry. The family will provide them with monthly living expenses.”
Old Lady Carter looked satisfied and nodded, as if everything was under her control.
Hearing this, Carlos felt a bitter taste in his heart, instantly understanding that his expulsion from the Carter Clan was his mother’s way of punishing him.
“I will step down as acting chairman, Carlos will leave the board, but I want to designate soone to re-enter the board and exercise my powers.”
Mrs. Carter took a deep breath, straightened her back, and spoke with unwavering determination.
Upon hearing this, Evan Palr’s face imdiately filled with a hypocritical smile, ready to say sothing like “I will certainly act competently…” but Mrs. Carter didn’t give him the chance.
“I want Emily to join the board of the Carter Clan. Also, she and the child in her womb will inherit half of my and father’s shares.”
Her words were like a huge bomb exploding.
Old Lady Carter’s once relaxed facial muscles instantly stiffened, her eyes widening, her face full of disbelief.
Evan Palr’s complexion changed drastically, the fake smile vanished, replaced by a dark and gloomy expression.
His hands involuntarily clenched into fists, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes filled with shock.
“Are you out of your mind?
Emily Parker is an outsider.
And the shares of Elder Carter, how can they possibly be given to her?”
Evan Palr’s eyes widened, veins bulging on his forehead, his face flushed green with anger.
He couldn’t believe that all his crafty sches to control the Carter Clan were being thwarted by an unexpected “Emily Parker.” He couldn’t swallow this bitter pill.
At this mont, he lost all his usual calm and hypocrisy, pointing at Mrs. Carter in a fit of rage, his voice trembling slightly from excessive excitent.
Faced with Evan Palr’s questioning, Mrs. Carter remained calm, speaking slowly and deliberately,
“Before father went abroad, he anded his will, and it was notarized by a lawyer.
Furthermore, I will also and my will.
Regarding the remaining shares of and father, they will be left to Maria.
She is already of age and how to arrange them will be up to her.”
After speaking, Mrs. Carter gently turned her head to look at Maria Carter beside her, nodding slightly.
Maria Carter understood, taking out a sealed docunt bag.
Inside showed a stack of notarized legal docunts. Those sheets of paper, with clear and prominent black writing, irrefutably proving the truth of Mrs. Carter’s words.
