The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 155

hapter 155: Taking Back the Company

Gina's smile became stiff as her eyes moved between Anya and Emma. She was trying hard to look calm and in control. "Your Uncle is still in the hospital unconscious," she said, trying to sound confident. "Someone needs to step in and run things while he's away." Anya gave a small, mocking smile and shook her head. "Why do you need to do this? This isn't your job, and you don't belong in this company," she said.

"Why can't I be here?" Gina asked, her voice tight with tension.

"This is my mother's company. Even if my sister and I died, it would go to my nephew, Henry. It has nothing to do with you or your kids," Anya fired back. "Your Uncle is sick. Should I just let the company..." Gina started to say.

"There's no need for that," Anya cut her off. "You're a housewife. You've never run a company in your life - what good would you do here? Are you saying all these professionals need you watching over them?" She paused before adding, "Besides, Emma is in charge of Uncle's affairs now, and he only owns a tiny part of the company - just 2 percent. He doesn't need anyone representing him here. Even though he was the CEO, he doesn't own the company, so why is the CEO's wife trying to run a board meeting? People would laugh if they heard about this."

The board members looked at each other as they realized that Martin Jones was no longer the biggest shareholder. Gina's calm face cracked, showing her shock. She jumped up from her chair, her hands shaking with anger.

"How can the CEO only have 2 percent of the shares?" she demanded, her voice getting louder.

Emma stepped forward, looking straight at Gina. "This is our mother's company," she explained calmly. "Our Uncle was just holding onto the shares for us until we all got married. Now that we're married, they're back with us, where they belong."

Anya's eyes showed her determination as she spoke to Gina again. "Also," she added firmly," the court put Emma in charge of Uncle's affairs because of the strange way he got hurt. You should go home and take care of him." "You're telling me to leave?" Gina asked.

"Yes, why not? Is there some reason you want to stay?" Anya asked.

"I'm your Uncle's wife. I deserve respect, if nothing else," Gina insisted.

"Respect? Even Martin Jones can't demand respect here. Who are you to ask for it?" Emma challenged.

"Do you have to embarrass me like this?" Gina asked. She didn't want to get up - she had
