The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 482

A few minority shareholders could not contain their dissatisfaction and started inciting others. “Yesterday, I thought Mr. Everett was joking, but it turns out he actually handed over the position of president to his ex–wifel” one of them exclaimed.

“Yes, Mr. Everett even confirmed it in front of the media. It’s absolutely reckless, another shareholder remarked.

Another shareholder glanced at Liam’s face and cautiously asked, “Mr. Lurk, what should we do? The Everett Group is such a large enterprise with investments in no less than a hundred companies. Now, with a woman in charge, is it safe?”

“Exactly, in terms of qualifications and capabilities, it would be more appropriate to entrust this position to Mr. Lurk. Mr. Everett’s decision is simply a careless move. He is treating the future of the Everett Group as a joke!” one of the shareholders criticized.

Several minority shareholders turned their gaze toward Liam in unison. “Mr. Lurk, how about… you talk to Mr. Everett about this?” one of them suggested.

Liam sat with his hands folded, his originally kind and amiable face now dark and gloomy.

Bruce, his nephew, had consistently shown a dismissive and apathetic attitude towards him, never valuing their relationship. Attempting to convince Bruce to do something would undoubtedly result in an unfavorable outcome.

“How could 1 persuade Bruce? He has never consulted me regarding his plans,” Liam sarcastically remarked.

“This is troublesome! Hundreds of companies are now preparing to file a joint lawsuit against the Everett Group. If Mr. Everett goes through with this, we’ll have to deal with this mess!” the shareholders lamented.

A sharp–minded director had an idea. “How about this? When Mr. Everett arrives later, we all work together to oppose him handing over the position of president to Joanna Haynes!” the director proposed.

“Yes, yes! If we persist in our opposition, Mr. Everett definitely will not go against everyone’s wishes. At that time, we can all recommend Mr. Lurk as the new president!” another shareholder added.

“Alright, let’s agree on that. When the time comes, we all speak up together, and nobody should back down,” the director said.

“Good,

you speak up first, and we’ll immediately follow suit!” one of the shareholders suggested.

The sharp–minded director became anxious upon hearing this.
