Chapter 210: Shareholders Meeting VIII

Shock and disbelief rippled through the boardroom, canceling every noise in every way that it could; and a tense silence settled in, heavy with unasked questions and confused emotions, underscored by barely restrained anger.

Zack, for one, was grappling with a potent mix of rage and confusion, his heart racing in his chest.

"So, you’re trying to tell me, Mr. Ethan, that when you purchased my company, it was actually Doctor Athena who gave the order? The company is actually hers?" He clenched his fists, needing to confirm this absurd reality for the sake of his sanity. His mind was threatening to unravel!

"Yes," Ethan replied calmly, a single word that detonated a bomb of expletives throughout the room.

"Shit!"

"Oh, my God!"

"What the hell!"

"This is crazy!"

"Damn!!"

The shareholders could barely contain their shock, each voice layering on the disbelief that permeated the air.

Even Old Mr. Thorne and his wife were not exempt from the wave of astonishment washing over the assembly.

So, all this time, Ethan, the business guru, had merely been a pawn in Athena’s grand scheme? Old Mr. Thorne shook his head slowly, awe etched onto his features.

He had truly adopted well! No wonder she displayed such little concern for his wealth; no wonder she didn’t care if he left the twins anything in the inheritance. She had more than enough of her own.

As he glanced at his wife, he found a similar awe-stricken expression reflected back at him.

"We have an awesome daughter," She whispered with a smile, her eyes glistening with pride. The smile widened when her husband bobbled his head eagerly in agreement.

Meanwhile, Zack’s fury escalated, sparking as he slammed his fist angrily on the table. He couldn’t contain his frustration any longer, rising to his feet. "How dare you, Athena?!!"

"I suggest you watch your mouth, Zack. Don’t forget your place, unless you want to lose everything," Ethan spoke, tilting his head to the side with an air of calm authority. "Just because I’m an employee doesn’t mean I lack power over anything."
