Chapter 643: Chapter 643: Just Escaped from Hades
Luna Williams’ heart skipped a beat as she turned to look at Ted Williams.
Did he really harm Hope?!
Ted Williams raised his eyes slowly and glanced back at Luna.
Luna clenched her hands tightly. She and Ted were in the sa boat now, and she had no choice but to trust him.
Besides, it would be better if Hope was really dead; she was so annoying anyway.
Luna looked at the vacant main seat, feeling a thrill of excitent.
That seat would soon be hers.
The conference room door swung open.
Sophie Zhou walked in, holding ten percent of the shares, naturally qualifying her to attend this eting.
Although Old Master Parker forbade her from attending, she snuck out anyway, eager to see who would make a fool of themselves in today’s drama.
“Sorry, I’m late.” Sophie found an empty seat and sat down, scanning the room but not seeing Hope.
Sophie sneered, “Looks like soone is even later than . Honestly, organizing a shareholder eting and being late themselves, how laughable.”
Everyone was a bit displeased about the tardiness.
Ted and Luna remained silent, knowing that Hope wouldn’t make it, so there was no rush. They could afford to wait a little longer.
At the Lewis Family’s private airport, Waylon Lewis strode toward his private plane as Thomas Hughes hurried after him to report, “Boss, Madam was followed to the Williams Clan, and there was a malicious car crash on the road. It’s clear soone wanted her dead.”
Waylon Lewis’ body stiffened suddenly, and a storm surged in his deep black eyes. “When did it happen?”
“Forty minutes ago.” Thomas opened the news on his phone and handed it to Waylon.
Waylon looked at the images from news reports, his eyes shaken and his grip on the phone trembling slightly.
Thomas’ voice was tense, “Boss, we’ve contacted Lady Williams’ bodyguards, Nolan and the others. With so many people around, I believe she’ll be okay.”
Waylon’s face was grim as he boarded his private plane. “Head to City A imdiately.”
“Yes!”
As ti ticked on, the people in the conference room grew a bit anxious.
Ted glanced at his watch and casually said, “It’s already past ten. Let’s begin. We’ll treat Hope’s absence as abstention.”
Eli Cox frequently glanced at the door, anxious for Hope.
“It’s only been two minutes; let’s wait a bit more. Besides, during previous shareholder etings, people were late by over ten minutes and weren’t counted as abstentions. We shouldn’t treat this differently,” Eli spoke up for Hope.
“Laughable, I think she doesn’t dare to co. Making us all wait for her is enough, just declare her abstention,” Sophie fanned the flas while admiring her freshly done nails.
Luna curved her lips slightly, saying nothing, naturally happy to see this play out.
Ted stood up, “Since Hope is late, I hereby declare—”
The conference room door burst open.
A cold and indifferent voice ca through, “Apologies for keeping everyone waiting!”
Hope Williams strode in, wearing a loose-fitting gray won’s suit layered with a brown coat, her hands in her coat pockets.
After speaking, she scanned the conference room. All the seats were taken except for the main one.
Now, choosing a seat beca an awkward issue for her.
Without hesitation, Hope walked to the seat beside the head of the table.
Behind her, Shao Shi imdiately brought a chair for his lady. Until Hope sat down, Ted’s ever-changing expression hadn’t settled.
Luna was even more horrified at Hope’s unscathed presence.
Both looked as if they’d seen a ghost.
Luna opened her mouth in disbelief, “How are you…” still alive?
Hope raised an eyebrow, “Surprised to see here?”
Those at the table, hearing Hope’s words, involuntarily looked towards Luna and Ted.
Ted, managing to regain his composure in ti, still showed signs of concealnt.
Luna’s face turned even worse.
Sophie sneered, “Hope, you dare to keep everyone waiting.”
Hope casually adjusted her clothes, “There was an accident on the way, the car got smashed; I barely escaped Hades’ grasp.”
“You’re the owner of the car in that crash online?” soone asked in surprise.
“Hmm?”
A shareholder handed Hope a phone, and she glanced at it, “Yep, that’s .”
The shareholder, handing over the phone, gaped, “The car was a heap of scrap tal; how did you escape?”
Hope sighed, “Soone didn’t want at this eting, so I had to wise up and be more cautious. Otherwise, it would’ve been over for , right, Ted?”
Suddenly addressed by Hope, Ted’s face darkened instantly.
Hope’s tone was mild but loaded with implications.
Looking at Ted and Luna’s earlier expressions,
those present sensed sothing, their faces gradually becoming peculiar.
“For a re seat, you wanted dead. Ted, do you think this spectacle looks good?”
Ted never expected Hope to survive and was even less prepared for her direct questioning. His face turned frighteningly dark.
But there was no way he could accept such charges simply because she accused him!
After a pause, Ted laughed softly, “Hope, just because we have conflicting interests, you’re pinning a car accident on . Being wronged isn’t a nice feeling, is it?”
Hope quietly watched him for a mont, then suddenly smiled, “Indeed, without evidence, who would ever admit it?”
Hope shrugged, shifting her gaze from Ted, “Let’s set aside the chit-chat and get down to business. We’ll settle this later.”
Ted tugged at his lips, a thin layer of sweat forming in his palms.
anwhile, Luna kept her teeth tightly clenched, her heart pounding like a drum, fearful that Hope might turn the spotlight on her.
“Now that everyone’s here, let’s start the eting,” Eli suggested to smooth the situation.
Ted adjusted his glasses and, with a slightly calr expression, said, “Everyone understands why we are here today. Since the forr chairman was imprisoned, the chairman’s position has been vacant. Today, we are to choose a chairman from among the forr chairman’s two granddaughters.
If the forr chairman were here, we wouldn’t have to concern ourselves, but since he isn’t, we should decide based on shareholding percentage and voting. Any objections?”
Luna was the first to speak up, “I have no objections.”
Hope chuckled coldly, “Fine by .”
Since the two candidates had no objections, the others naturally agreed.
Hope held twenty-five percent of the shares.
Luna held thirty percent.
Clearly, Luna had the advantage.
Before voting started, Luna grinned, “Everyone knows my grandpa always wanted to give the group to . The thirty percent of shares in my hand were entrusted to by him.”
Luna implied that choosing her as the heir was also the forr chairman’s will.
Hope smirked sarcastically, “Isn’t that wrong? The shares were given to grandma; how can you say they were given to you by him?”
