Chapter 297

While they were on the way to the conference room, Edmund explained the share distribution of the company. Callum held the most shares at thirty percent ownership, Elspeth was the second at twenty-five percent ownership, and the remaining shares were distributed among the shareholders.

Elspeth nodded. “I’ll deal with this. You and Elias go for the DNA test. Don’t worry, I’ll handle the matter.”

Edmund was worried, but he nodded and left in the end.

When Elspeth reached the conference room, she took a deep breath. Then, she entered the room. Within it, a few people sat. All of them looked hostile. When Elspeth stepped in, the shareholders looked at her, and they scoffed.

“A girl? Is there no one else from the Winthrops to hold the meeting?”

“That’s Elspeth, isn’t she? She’s Callum’s fiancée. Pity she’s going to be a widow before she’s even married.”

“Let’s hear what she has to say.”

Elspeth shot them a withering look. Shudders were sent down their spines, and they shut up. None of them said another word. Elspeth took the main seat and crossed her arms, a smile curling her lips. “Sorry I have to take Callum’s place, but I’m also a shareholder as well, and I own twenty-five percent of the company. Since Callum isn’t here, that makes me the biggest shareholder. And Callum is only unconscious, not dead. Watch your tongue. We’re all educated here. We know better than to spread rumors like uneducated swines.”

Did she just call us uneducated swines? The shareholders’ faces turned red. They were sure that Elspeth had heard them gossiping just now, but it didn’t matter. Callum was still unconscious, and that was the truth. They said nothing wrong.
