Chapter 255: Chapter 250: Difficulties at the Board eting
Carlos was about to eagerly check the ssage when suddenly, a veiny hand shot out like lightning and blocked his way.
The hand snatched the phone away and flung it harshly. With a crisp “crack,” the mobile phone smashed heavily onto the hard ground.
Doctor Bennet couldn’t tolerate Carlos’s arrogance, and his anger boiled over. He directly smashed Carlos’s phone.
Without ti to think, Carlos clenched his fist and, with a whooshing wind, hurled it towards Doctor Bennet like a cannonball.
With a dull thud, Doctor Bennet’s body flew out like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily on the ground several ters away.
Doctor Bennet was shocked out of her wits, her face paling as she let out a scream.
Doctor Bennet’s bodyguards, hearing the scream, rushed at Carlos like a pack of trained hounds without hesitation.
Simultaneously, a few other wealthy young n also refused to be outdone.
Under normal circumstances, they were afraid of Carlos, but now that Carlos had been driven out of the family, he was nothing to fear. The scene quickly descended into chaos…
At the Carter Clan Group, in the eting room located on the thirty-eighth floor of the building, bright sunlight stread through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating Emily Parker.
The atmosphere on-site was as heavy as the monts before a storm.
Emily sat in the farthest corner of the conference table. Suddenly, her eyelids twitched uncontrollably as if sothing bad was about to happen.
She instinctively rubbed her temples lightly, trying to alleviate the inexplicable unease. Soon, a wave of drowsiness hit, and she couldn’t help but yawn.
Too many thorny issues had arisen over the past two days. Last night, she reviewed docunts related to the Carters and didn’t get enough sleep.
However, this seemingly ordinary action was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up waves of attention.
In the conference room, the other board mbers were once softly discussing the personnel changes in the board of directors. At this mont, they all turned their eyes towards Emily.
In these gazes, so were doubtful, so were filled with dissatisfaction, and many shone with intense hostility, as if her yawn was an unforgivable mistake.
In this power-struggle riddled eting room, every slight action of Emily could be amplified.
Standing beside her, Oliver Ross was holding a massive pile of reports and data files, his face full of worry.
He frowned slightly and said softly,
“Madam, these reports and data are really dull and intricate. Asking you to finish them within an hour…
… is truly a bit too demanding.”
He knew well that Emily was pregnant and should be resting, not dealing with such heavy work.
Moreover, these docunts were highly specialized. Even the company’s experts would need several days to review and analyze them properly.
But the unexpected changes in the board left Emily suddenly joining the Carters without prior notice.
As a representative of Old Master Carter and Mrs. Carter, she had to take over Carlos’s previous position as general manager, and she had no choice but to review these reports.
Because only by familiarizing herself with these materials could Emily handle the situation when the acting chairman arrived, preventing her from being exposed and taken advantage of by those envious of her position.
Thinking of this, Oliver looked at Emily’s slightly tired face and the heaps of heavy docunts in his hands. He sighed silently, hoping she could get through this ordeal smoothly.
Emily parted her lips, about to tell Oliver that indeed the docunts were sowhat cumberso.
At that mont, the conference room door slowly creaked open.
Evan Palr, who had just been promoted to acting chairman, strode in.
Evan was known for his strong deanor and held significant sway in the board. Several directors were his confidants.
However, Emily was quite surprised to see an unfamiliar face among his usual entourage.
Apart from his old secretary, there was also a new person.
This individual, dressed in a well-tailored suit that accentuated his slender build, wore gold-rimd glasses that gave him a sharp-eyed look.
Adam Willow.
Emily was a bit taken aback.
Standing nearby, Oliver also looked surprised, his face full of astonishnt.
Adam’s gaze swept through the crowd, quickly locking onto Emily.
He nodded slightly, offering a brief nod to her, his eyes carrying a hint of mystery.
At that mont, Evan stepped forward, his authoritative gaze sweeping around the eting room, and began,
“Ladies and gentlen, I apologize for keeping you waiting.
You have likely heard about the old chairman’s situation.
The new personnel changes have also been announced.
Additionally, this is Secretary Willow. Starting today, he will serve as the chairman’s special assistant, taking charge of matters related to the group.”
His voice was steady and assertive, carrying an undeniable authority, and with just a few sentences, he announced Adam’s new position.
As his words fell, a soft murmur of discussion rose in the eting room. Everyone was curious about the unexpected appointnt of Adam Willow.
Emily frowned slightly, realizing that the waters of the Carters were getting murkier.
Evan decisively waved his hand, announcing the start of the eting.
Throughout the eting, he controlled the pace with precision, making several crucial decisions that significantly impacted the company’s direction.
Every word and directive carried the decisiveness of a leader, leaving the board mbers in awe.
Nearing noon, Evan glanced at the ti, ready to conclude the board eting.
At that mont, standing beside Emily and visibly anxious, Oliver Ross couldn’t help but remind,
“Chairman, the announcent regarding General Manager Emily hasn’t been made yet.”
His words brought back the tension in the room, everyone’s eyes once again focusing sharply on Evan and Emily.
Upon hearing Oliver, Evan’s eyes landed on Emily, who had been sitting quietly throughout the eting.
Slightly narrowing his eyes, he scrutinized her, and the room fell into a brief silence, filled with tension.
Evan, with a cold snort, dismissed the reminder, his gaze exuding contempt.
He scanned Emily disdainfully, as if looking at soone of no value.
“General Manager? How could she be the general manager of the Carters?”
Evan’s tone was full of undisguised derision, continuing with a sneer,
“As far as I know, even the security staff in our company have better qualifications than she does.
With her credentials, dreaming of holding a senior position in the Carter Clan Group is pure fantasy!
I absolutely disagree with handing such an important role to her.”
His words, sharp as a blade, attacked Emily relentlessly, causing a stir among the board mbers.
So mbers showed expressions of enjoying the spectacle,
