Chapter 234 - A queen...
Adam unhurriedly opened his laptop, whatever she might have sent can be easily countered back. She is indeed genius but according to him to withstand this ruthless business field she also needed experience as well as manipulating mind. Which she clearly don't have…
As soon as new notification popped up he excitedly opened it. His smirk drastically differed to frown. He narrowed his eyes and read each and every word with utter most attention. As the clock ticked there is a pin drop silence while everyone rooted in their places shocked at what they are seeing.
Vanessa could feel her heart thumping loudly while her legs started to shook, never she have even dreamt that her niece would be able to retrieve the secret they buried deep in their hearts after destroying the evidences.
Mr. Brown, the marketing department director was stunned to his core. His mind is messed up and his heart is in deep daze even to differentiate whether it was a dream or unfortunate reality.
But after seeing the bewildered expressions and the evoked silence in the room he realized it was no longer a dream. He opened and closed his mouth, at a loss for words. When Vanessa proposed this attractive offer he overestimated her abilities and followed her path, here he is buried deep in the scandal in which no one could even help him to flee away let alone support his innocence.
As the stunned expressions intensified on others faces Jean amicably smiled at her uncles who gave her a secret appreciation. By every passing second suffocation engulfed the room and frustrated tapping on the laptop sensor to flip the pages dominated the stunned silence.
Jean can already sense the change of thoughts of the people, it is inevitable to save Me. Brown from this plight and legal charges. Some of the neutral executives looked at Jean with admiration etching on their stunned faces. Now they have understood what had really happened in previous years that decreased the turnover of the company.
Meanwhile Vanessa's subordinates trembled with the fear of loosing their job if their scandals are revealed, though they want to turn their backs on Vanessa it is already too late…no one could help them from Jean…
Minutes turned into hour and Jean stomach started to throb for food. She has already gave them a solid one hour to decide their choices. Now it is her time to take the upper hand…
"As everyone noticed the points I have highlighted, I hope you have already figured out who the culprit is….if Mr. President is satisfied with my proofs I expect him to take the rightful action" Jean's strong and determined voice boomed across the room while others gulped their saliva.
For gods sake this is just her first day as board member and she already started to play the game of power, they could clearly sense her plan. She is eliminating the persons who would oppose her from becoming CEO of the company.
She is rightful candidate with perfect mixture of arrogance and stubbornness. She is resistant to fear and cowardice, she is the true heir and real daughter is of Grey's who possesses same unyielding strength as her father and grandfather.
"How can we believe that these are not fake" Adam retaliated. He knew he couldn't save Mr. Brown nor he is interested in supporting the betrayer.
"Your wish, I am just helping the company by pointing out the weeds planted deep in your company that could possibly contaminate the weak foundation on which you are standing now" Jean chuckled and didn't even care to look at his face.
Though Adam is desperate not to succ.u.mb to her power in the same time he is also responsible in saving company and strengthen his connections as CEO.
"That is it. You have nothing to say after creating such a havoc between the board members. How do you think you are….a queen" one of the strongest lieutenant who is sent by Vanessa's brother to help her fired up.
"Hmm.. Mr. Trevor I have listened that you followed the same procedure in your company and kicked two shareholders out of the company because they tried to snatch some more shares from others illegally. How can you show such a bias…tsk…" Jean looked at his face and returned back in playing with her pen, twirling it in between her fingers.
He stared at her dazed at what he just listened. He cautiously suppressed all the loose ends and here she is, a woman who doesn't even know anything about him or his company revealing some of his hidden secrets.
He thought of retaliating but he couldn't even utter a single word of protest. His subconscious mind is already warning him not to provoke this woman, she can easily point out all his misdeeds…
"Hmm.. Does anyone have any questions about the proofs I have dig out" Jean raised her head just to look into their eyes, some of them averted their eyes after meeting hers afraid of that she could read their throbbing fear. Jean smiled at them because she has already marked their downfall and all they have to wait is to let the devil take the action.
"So, Mr. President why don't we count the majority"
"I want to blacklist Mr. Brown from the company so he could no longer take any decisions nor work to take advantage of this again" Jean bold voice boomed across the room again etching the silence.
They looked at each other but couldn't dare to voice out their thoughts. Some are clearly content with what Jean suggested but some of them who have also done similar type of scandals feared for their future. But they definitely understood one thing, never go against Jean…
"Who support my decision can lift their hands, if I my decision is not favored we could talk the other way" though her words sounded like a convince, it is clearly a statement of dominance and a inevitable command.
