The Queen's Back

Chapter 142

After exiting the elevator, Mona hurried straight to the conference room. Even before she entered, she could faintly hear Jeremy's voice saying, "Since everyone has agreed, I will live up to your expectations-"

Before Jeremy finished speaking, Mona and Maxwell walked in, breathing heavily. "I disagree," she said. Then, under the watchful eyes of the board members, they slowly approached Jeremy and declared, "My grandpa didn't even attend this meeting. Is it acceptable for all of you to transfer leadership of such a large company like this? I don't think so."

As Jeremy saw the company about to be in his hands, he was infuriated by Mona's unexpected interruption. However, he wanted to portray a friendly father-daughter relationship before the board members. With a warm tone, he asked, "Mona, weren't you abroad with your grandpa? What brings you back?"

"What do you mean, 'what brings me back? If I hadn't come back, I wouldn't even have known Grandpa was in the hospital, and here you are, thinking about the position of chairman," Mona shot back directly.

Since Jeremy had already made his intentions clear to become chairman, they w brought up the issue first.

Hearing Mona's words, Jeremy smiled awkwardly. "Mona, come on, we're all family. The company is managed by all of us together," he replied. The implication behind his words was that having the company in his hands was no different from having it in Bernard's hands. Mona scanned the board members, a slight smile forming as she nodded. "It seems there's some truth to what you're saying, Dad

Hearing Mona's words, Jeremy felt a bit more at ease. Although she was married to Maxwell, she still seemed like the same naïve girl without any ulterior motives.

Just as he began to relax, Jeremy heard Mona's tone shift. "Since that's the case, I've already married Maxwell and transferred my shares to him. It would be better to let Maxwell manage the company.

"After all, he oversees the Carter Group and has more experience than you do, Dad. He'll take the company to greater heights, and you can finally take a proper break. Don't you think I'm right?"

Jeremy thought, 'Handing the Clem Group over to Maxwell?' Before Jeremy could react, one of the board members standing next to Mona spoke up directly.

"No, I disagree. The Clem Group is a family business; it can't be handed over to an outsider." As soon as he said this, the other minor board members began to echo his sentiments.
