Chapter 1242
After giving the statement at the police station, Stella messaged Felicity to check on Marshall’scondition.
[It seems pretty serious. The nurse took him to get some stitches.] Felicity replied.
Stella was taken aback upon hearing the severity of his injuries.
[Should we get him some flowers or something?] Felicity continued.
Stella pondered the suggestion and said: [It’s late. He needs to rest. Why don’t we visit him at a moreappropriate time? I’ll have Keegan contact his family.]
[Alright. Are you still coming over?]
[Not today. You should head back when his family arrives at the hospital. We can discuss the rest latertonight.]
[Okay.] Felicity texted back.
Stella then ended the conversation with Felicity and called Keegan.
At that time, Keegan was in the chairman’s office with Chandler and Jackson. On the opposite side ofthe table sat Cordelia, Baldwin, and Aurora.
Cordelia stared at Chandler and Keegan sternly and said,” You two are embarrassing me! Did youhave to make a
scene like that during a meeting?!”novelbin
Keegan maintained his composure and showed no signs of emotion, while Chandler felt wronged.
“Keegan was the one who went too far this time, Mom! He wants to put a stop to the company’soperations. How am I supposed to explain that to our shareholders? Our family doesn’t solely own thisgroup. Shouldn’t we consider the interests of the majority? Plus, we were the ones who supportedKeegan’s businesses when the industry wasn’t doing well,” said Chandler.
Cordelia nodded and looked at Keegan. “Did you hear that? How will your uncle explain himself if youhalt all the businesses?”
Keegan raised an eyebrow and muttered, “Then let’s suspend two losses and go from there.”
Cordelia nodded again. “That does sound like a viable option.”
Her reaction puzzled Chandler. “Mom, what’s the difference between at once and suspending themevery few months?”
“The industries you mentioned would still have a few quarters to prove themselves. Their operationswon’t be suspended if they can make a comeback. As you said, Vinci Rivera must consider themajority’s interests, not just the individual shareholders.”
Chandler’s face darkened as he clenched his fists upon
hearing that. He looked at Keegan, who remained calm, and took a deep breath, suppressing the angerin his heart. In a low voice, he said, “If that’s the case, can we arrange for a few people from the boardto supervise Keegan’s projects? Since we are a community, I think all of us should be open andtransparent with each other. This would also make things easier for me and the shareholders.”
Hearing that, Keegan leered at Chandler. Aldor’s heart sank as well.
The core members of Keegan’s team were people he trusted. The board had tried to send their men tosupervise their work before, but Keegan rejected their entry, knowing they had ill intentions. Hissuccess with Semiconductor Technology had caused many people in Vinci Rivera to be envious. If theycould learn or even obtain useful information, it would benefit them in the industry.
Thinking that Cordelia was not likely to turn down his proposal, Chandler took advantage of thesituation. Sure enough, as he finished speaking, Cordelia looked at her grandson and asked,“Keegan?”
Before Keegan could answer, his phone rang. He glanced at the name on the screen and said, “Alright.I agree to the terms. Excuse me while I take this call outside.”
Chandler was stunned. ‘Did Keegan just agree to the proposal?’
‘He could’ve at least pretend not to be so excited to receive Ms. Jewell’s call,’ thought Aldor.
