"If she were to take charge of a company, I’m afraid there might be errors."
"In this world, it is impossible for anyone to ensure that they make no mistakes.
Growing through errors is progress.
I believe this is a good opportunity to reform the Townsend Corporation.
Everyone should consider this carefully.
Of course, I can promise everyone here that, until Faye Townsend can manage independently, I will be by her side to assist her."
After exchanging views, several shareholders nodded in agreent.
Oliver Turner looked around the room before speaking: "All right then, let’s proceed with the voting now.
The 31% of shares held by Faye Townsend will not be included in the voting.
For the remaining shares, a simple majority will suffice.
We will now raise our hands to vote, those shareholders who agree with Faye Townsend replacing Richard Townsend as president, please raise your hands."
Faye Townsend looked around worriedly.
Oliver Turner was the first to raise his hand, followed by several shareholders who also began to raise their hands one by one.
Out of a dozen shareholders, only half of them raised their hands.
The others did not support Faye Townsend replacing Richard Townsend.
Faye Townsend saw that most of these people were Townsend Corporation’s veteran mbers.
She knew what they were thinking; the idea of male superiority was deeply ingrained in them.
They certainly felt that since the Townsend family had a son, the company shouldn’t be handed over to her.
Oliver Turner holds 25% of the shares, which ans she needs the support of 95 shares.
However, the new shareholders who support her don’t hold many shares.
So have 1 or 2% and so just a fraction of a percent.
Together they only hold 86%.
That ans Faye Townsend is short of 9% support.
Looking at the data, Oliver Turner’s brow furrowed slightly.
His gaze moved across the few veteran shareholders who hadn’t raised their hands.
These old geezers, don’t think he doesn’t know what they are calculating.
This matter can’t just be settled like this.
Just as Oliver Turner was about to say sothing,
Hunter Warren, who had been sitting across from Faye Townsend and had yet to raise his hand, suddenly spoke up: "Miss Townsend, I have a question for you.
I don’t support you right now, but your answer might change my decision."
Faye Townsend looked at him disdainfully: "There’s no need, I don’t care for your support."
Oliver Turner smiled slyly and turned to Hunter Warren: "Second Master Warren, just ask your question."
Hunter Warren didn’t give Oliver Turner a glance, his stare fixed solely on Faye Townsend.
"Do you want to be this president?"
Faye Townsend scoffed coldly: "If you didn’t hold shares in Townsend, of course, I would really want to.
But now, I have absolutely no desire."
After hearing her answer, Hunter Warren leisurely raised his hand, a mischievous smile on his lips.
Hunter Warren holds 18% of the shares, enough to decisively control the outco.
Faye Townsend clenched her fists; he did this on purpose.
He knew full well she didn’t want to co back, yet he raised his hand anyway.
Yes, that’s right, this bastard is her nesis.
The number one nesis in the world.
Oliver Turner didn’t care about the process; he only cared about the outco.
Seeing Faye Townsend securely take the position of president of the Townsend Corporation, Oliver Turner clapped elegantly.
"Then congratulations to Faye Townsend on her promotion to president of the Townsend Corporation."
The conference room burst into a round of applause.
So smiled genuinely, others harbored sches.
Faye Townsend knew that starting today, she would have to begin a life she was unfamiliar with.
However difficult this life might be, she had no choice.
It was her purpose for leaving Eldoria six years ago.
Before leaving, she always thought this plan was perfect.
She went abroad to study, using this ti to forget Hunter Warren to beco the Faye Townsend she wanted to be.
Once she had transford step by step, she would co back to take over Townsend.
But now that the mont had co, she was sowhat afraid.
During her six years in Zurich, she had grown accustod to everything there.
She liked the simple, clean life without calculations.
Coming back ans, in addition to the wound hidden deep in her heart that can never heal in this lifeti,
She would also have to face the pressure from the Townsend Corporation.
The board eting concluded, and the major shareholders left one after another.
Before leaving, so did not forget to congratulate her.
Facing these congratulations concealed with ulterior motives, she could only respond with a thankful smile.
Most had gone when Hunter Warren stood up and looked at her: "Faye Townsend, let’s talk."
Faye Townsend ignored him and instead turned to Oliver Turner: "Oliver, I have sothing to discuss with you."
Oliver Turner smirked triumphantly: "Then let’s go, to my office."
She walked over to him, and together they headed to the door.
Hunter Warren’s face had turned to ice.
He felt a strong impulse to go over and take her away.
This woman was clearly challenging his bottom line.
But just as the two approached the door, Richard Townsend burst in.
Seeing Faye Townsend, he slamd the door shut, trapping all three in the boardroom.
Then he pointed at Faye Townsend, shouting loudly: "Faye Townsend, what do you an by this?
You’re really sothing, huh? Spent six years out and about and now you co back to steal my job?
What do you think you are, trying to take over Townsend?
I am the male heir of the Townsend family; this position of president is not your turn. Don’t you know that?"
Faye Townsend looked at her own brother, truly it had been six years.
Instead of missing him and giving him a hug, he ca with hate, itching in his teeth, to accuse her.
Seeing his attitude, Oliver Turner stepped forward, blocking in front of Faye Townsend and spoke displeased: "Richard, the decision was mine.
I also initiated the board eting."
"You know exactly why you’re being taken down."
"I don’t. You’re all the sa, cut from the sa cloth.
Oliver Turner, don’t think I don’t know.
You want the Townsend Corporation, but you don’t dare to snatch it openly, so you can only do it through Faye Townsend.
Do you think that by Faye becoming the president and marrying her, everything will be settled?
Let tell you, stop dreaming.
Faye doesn’t even give you a second glance.
She’s just using you.
The one she likes is Hunter Warren."
Faye Townsend stepped out from behind Oliver Turner and slapped Richard Townsend across the face.
For a mont, the entire conference hall fell silent.
After slapping Richard, she froze herself.
That instant action didn’t go through her brain at all.
It was just that upon hearing those words, she instinctively slapped him.
She didn’t like to hear such words.
Because she didn’t like Hunter Warren, not at all.
And perhaps the two onlookers never expected Faye to do that.
Hunter Warren sat in his seat, arms folded, watching the scene unfold.
While Oliver Turner was staring at Faye’s back.
"Wow, you’ve really grown up, daring to hit your own brother now."
Faye’s eyes darted about; she was starting to regret it.
Because Richard in front of her was really rather pitiful.
"Who allowed you to talk nonsense.
Just because you don’t have to bear legal responsibility, do you think you can say whatever you please?"
"Am I wrong.
Dare you say you like Oliver Turner?
Dare you say you don’t love Hunter Warren?
Why are you pacing between these two n? Isn’t it just to kick out of the company today?
I’m telling you Faye, your behavior today is utterly despicable.
Even our parents in heaven would never forgive you."
Faye bit her lip: "I do intend to take over Townsend Corporation, but I never said I wanted you to lose everything you have.
You know what your capabilities are, do you want to lead Townsend Corporation to bankruptcy again?
If you are made the president of the corporation and manage it, would our parents in heaven be happy?
Brother, you can’t be so impulsive just because you hear I’m taking over Townsend Corporation.
Can’t we discuss this matter properly amongst ourselves?"
"Discuss? Have you ever given the chance?
What abilities do you have to lead Townsend Corporation to glory?
Oh, right, I forgot, our parents gave you a pretty face.
You can develop your career by seducing n.
Now that I think about it, I really have lost.
The two major business magnates of Anchester firmly in your grasp, must feel great, huh?"
Faye clenched her fists, angrily retorted: "Enough, why are you bringing up all these irrelevant things?
Does humiliating this way make you happy?
I’m not arguing with you about this now.
Go to your office and wait for , I’ll co to you later."
"Co to ? No need, from now on you don’t have to look for ever again.
Is this not what you wanted, to ruin and ensure I can’t survive in this circle?
Fine, Faye, you win, Townsend Corporation is yours, I’m out.
From today on, even if I die, it has nothing to do with you."
After speaking, Richard left in a huff.
Faye hastily tried to follow, but Hunter Warren coldly said: "Richard is spoiled by you guys.
Do you think you can clarify things with him by chasing after him now?
He hates you for taking everything from him; whatever you say is useless."
Faye turned back to look at him: "That’s my business, not yours to interfere."
She then chased after him, with Oliver Turner leaving together with her.
Hunter Warren turned back, frowning at the disappearing figure of Faye.
Her temper... it’s not only uncontrolled, but it has also gotten even more aggressive.
She really doesn’t know what’s good for her.
When Faye reached the elevator, the door was just closing.
She approached and pounded on the door: "Brother, brother!"
Oliver Turner grabbed her: "It’s enough, Faye, stop calling.
If he really wanted to continue talking, he wouldn’t have run away.
Let him be alone and calm down.
So things cannot be explained, he has to figure it out on his own."
Faye withdrew her hand from the elevator door and looked at him.
"You should have discussed this with in advance.
Today not just Richard, even I wasn’t prepared for it."
"I just wanted to surprise you."
"But this is not a surprise, it’s a shock," Faye wanted to lose her temper.
But Oliver Turner did it obviously for her sake and that of Townsend Corporation.
Even with the anger boiling inside her, she had nowhere to vent it.
"Do you think I was wrong?" Oliver Turner looked at her troubled face with concern.
Faye frustratedly said: "I don’t want to bla anyone for being right or wrong.
But if you could discuss it with earlier, I could have worked on Richard’s thoughts.
I could have shared my thoughts with him.
Or had you negotiated with him early in the morning, none of this would have happened today."
