Chapter 727 Could It Really Be Him The conference room fell silent for a moment.

The next moment, Seth could no longer contain his anger. He retorted, "When Josiah was here, he always spoke to me with respect. Who are you to belittle me? Don't forget, you and him have been divorced for a long time!"

With a calm and composed demeanor, Lysander held her trump card close, saying, "But this doesn't mean his plans are no longer valid."

The document, stamped with Josiah's seal, was legally valid no matter the circumstances.

Seth, feeling disrespected by Lysander's actions, continued to harp on their divorce. "Whether it's valid or not, it's not for you to decide. Everyone here is a shareholder, every one of them more qualified than you to voice an opinion."

When Lysander realized that her efforts to mediate were futile, she quickly assessed the balance of power between the two sides in her mind. She knew that the shareholders who would definitely side with Josiah and those who were causing division at this critical juncture were in the minority. The true decisive force, in fact, was the silent majority.

How can I sway them to my side?

Given the options that Lysander and Carol had at the moment, she had no other choice but to go for broke. She exhaled deeply and stated, "Deciding with a vote is a serious matter. To just say we're voting like this is too abrupt. Are we supposed to raise our hands or something? That wouldn't be appropriate."

Upon hearing that they might be required to vote by a show of hands, the other shareholders expressed their refusal even before the proposal was officially put forth.

"An anonymous vote would be more appropriate."

"Exactly, by having a public vote, those in the minority would be targeted if there turned out to be a huge disparity in the numbers."

“I also feel we should pick a suitable day..."

Someone was fishing in troubled waters, attempting to use the opportunity to drag the matter out.

Lysander observed the group, each with their own hidden agendas, and suddenly understood some of Josiah's past behaviors. Facing such a crowd of schemers every day, it was only natural to distrust others by reflex.

She wondered what he would have done if he was there.
