Chapter 169: A Dramatic Entrance

Hearing what Elliot Grant said, everyone present looked at each other. Many of them were new and didn’t know what had happened in the past. They began whispering amongst themselves, trying to understand the situation.

"What are they saying?"

"Who is Eleanor?"

"Was Mr Whitmore only the acting chairman? I thought he was the chairman."

"You didn’t know? He was always the acting chairman."

"But I saw his name listed as chairman on the company website."

"Oh, that’s because he used the title ’acting chairman’ at first. Later, he started calling himself the chairman. But technically, he was still acting chairman."

"How long has he been acting chairman?"

"I think it’s been around thirty years."

"That long? Are you sure?"

"I may not be exact, but it’ll be around that time."

Some of the older shareholders remembered what had happened and answered the questions around them. This also gave them a sense of superiority, knowing they were more informed than the newer shareholders.

Amidst the chaos, William Whitmore missed one critical detail from Mr Grant’s statement. He had referred to Eleanor as Miss Eleanor Langford. But William wasn’t in the right state of mind to notice the subtle implication in the old man’s words. He was just one step away from claiming the full company.

Suddenly, he burst into loud laughter. The unexpected outburst immediately silenced the room. Everyone turned their eyes towards him, anticipating a sudden twist.

William clapped slowly, mockingly, and said, "Great performance, Mr Grant. I never would have guessed you could deliver such theatrics at your age. You truly surprised me."
