Chapter 55 Shareholders' Meeting

Allison glanced at Alexander, a bit confused. Seeing his serious face, she put down her spoon. "What's up?"

Alexander took a deep breath and said, "The folks who were after me in Avalon City are stirring things up again. Plus, your current status is catching a lot of eyes. Someone's definitely gonna try to stop you from hitting that shareholders' meeting on Friday. This is just a heads-up, Allison."

Allison looked down, understanding Alexander's concern. But really, would someone go after her just because of a shareholders' meeting?

"Thanks, Mr. Carter," she said sincerely. Alexander had been a huge help lately.

Alexander grinned, "If you wanna thank me, finish all that ravioli. You're too skinny, eat up!"

Allison smiled back, feeling a bit better, and polished off the whole bowl, even the soup.

After dinner, Alexander pulled out some info James had dug up. "Even though your grandpa started the Bennett Group, he always handled the overseas stuff. So, the domestic side has always been in Preston's hands. Out of the nine major shareholders, six back Preston, and only three are loyal to your grandpa."

Allison scanned the info. The nine major shareholders held thirty percent of the shares. The three loyal ones had ten percent, the other six had twenty percent, and Preston also had twenty percent. The odds weren't in her favor. She turned to Alexander, "So, these six shareholders back Preston because they're all skimming off the Bennett Group's assets, right?"

Alexander nodded. Allison was sharp, and he liked that about her. Meanwhile, she was already plotting how to sway those shareholders to her side.

Before bed, Allison pulled out her laptop, hacked into their networks, and dug up a ton of dirt.

She sent the info to Cleo and gave her a call. "Find me their weaknesses, every little detail!"
