Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 418

All the key players at the Fitzgerald Group-including major shareholders, board elders, and the most respected founding members-were expected to attend.

What's more, the entire meeting would be recorded in the company's permanent archives.

So, everyone took it seriously.

The vice president began his summary: "Ladies and gentlemen, based on the data from our financial reports, the past year has been outstanding under Mr. Fitzgerald's leadership. The Fitzgerald Group saw a remarkable 20% increase in overall profits, and our return on investment hit an impressive 30%. However, there is a minor blemish our overseas profits dropped by 15% compared to last year."

As soon as he finished, the conference room erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Adjusting his glasses, the VP continued, "With the annual general meeting approaching, it's possible some minor shareholders are making moves behind the scenes. Especially after your announcement today, Mr. Fitzgerald-about your engagement—they might try to use it against you at the meeting."

He stole a quick glance at the man sitting at the head of the table. "Should we consider... taking some precautionary measures?"

At that, the room fell silent.

The Fitzgerald Group had once been poised to merge with the LS Corporation, and the two companies had enjoyed a close partnership for years.
