Female Novel
Chapter 741
Everyone looked at Benedict.
Benedict had only been looking at Minerva, but she didn't look at him. Instead, she turned the pagesof the documents in front of her with a casual look.
She looked like she didn't care about him at all. This made Benedict angry.
She hated and detested him just like that?
What if his plan continued to go on?
"Are you questioning my ability? Actually, I know that compared to Maddox, I'm indeed not strongenough. However, I've been training myself over the years. Now that Maddox isn't around, YardleyCorporation can't be left unattended. You're all old and many things were beyond your abilities.That's why I want to attend Yardley Corporation as the president. I don't have any intentions ofreplacing him. Uncles, please don't misunderstand me," Benedict explained.
His words were extremely sincere.
However, Albert didn't buy it at all. He snorted when he heard the words.
'You thought that we're kids? Don't say such beautiful words," said Albert.
Sam agreed and nodded. "Mr. Clark is right. Being the president temporarily, you're just makingyour intentions sound beautiful. The feud between you and our Young Master Yardley is well knownby everybody. What's more, you left the Yardley Corporation a few years ago."
"You!"
Benedict didn't expect his words to be so unpleasant. His face looked a little unsightly.
Old Master Yardley was angry. "How presumptuous. You're just an assistant. How dare you saythat?" After that, Old Master Yardley looked at Minerva and said sternly, "Who allowed you to sit inthat seat? Even if you're Maddox's wife, you have no right to replace him in that position!"
"Yes, even if you are Maddox's wife, you don't have real power. It's unreasonable for you to sit inthat position and take charge of these for him."
Everyone began to protest. Minerva looked at the situation in front of her and knew that she mustshow them the documents now. She smiled and asked, "What if I have the shares of the YardleyCorporation in my hands?"
"What?"
Everyone was a little surprised. "Why would the shares of Yardley Corporation be in your hands?"
"Could it be that Maddox gave it to her?"
Benedict's face changed then he squinted his eyes.
He never thought about this before. He thought that Maddox wouldn't be such a person. Even if heliked Minerva, he would not give her the shares.
Moreover, the wedding hadn't been formally held yet. How would he be willing to give Minerva hisshares?
"Even if Young Master Yardley gave you shares, so what? All of us here have shares. But it doesnot mean that we can replace Young Master Yardley," one of the shareholders said.
Minerva lowered her head and passed the documents in her hand to Albert, who was seatedclosest to her. Sam walked and stood between Minerva and Albert.
Albert thought that it was a transfer book. At first, he thought that Maddox might have given a littleshare to Minerva. But after reading the contents of the contract, Albert opened his eyes wide indisbelief.
Everyone looked at Albert curiously. They really wanted to know the contents of the contract.novelbin
"This..." Albert murmured.
Albert closed the contract and returned it to Minerva. He stood up solemnly and nodded at Minerva."You do have the rights to sit here."
Everyone was speechless.
Benedict frowned. He wondered what was the content of the contract? Why would it make Albert'sface change?
"Everyone, Young Master Yardley has transferred all the shares he holds to her. Not to mentionsitting here to have a meeting on behalf of him, she even has the right to take over the company."
Everyone was shocked.
What? Did they mishear?
Maddox gave all his shares to Minerva?
What the hell is this? How is this possible?
"You must be lying. You said that on purpose because Young Master Yardley had already passedaway. No matter how you say it, he won't talk."
One of Mr. Lowell's men suddenly stood up and said agitatedly.
His words made Minerva angry. She suddenly raised her head and looked at that person. She saidcoldly, "Who told you that he had passed away?"
The man was so frightened by Minerva's aura that he couldn't speak. He stammered, "Isn't... isn'tsomething wrong with that plane?"
Minerva stood up and said coldly, "Didn't you see that there were survivors? Did you hear the officialannouncement that he's dead? If not, why are you talking such nonsense? If you say one moreword about death, I'll sue you immediately for slandering and personal assault. You hear me?"
That person was speechless after hearing Minerva's words. The people behind him tugged at him.Then they left helplessly.
Seeing this, Sam gave her a thumbs-up in his heart.
Young Madam's way of doing things had left a good impression on him.
Minerva looked around and said, "Everyone, I'm now the biggest shareholder of YardleyCorporation. While Maddox isn't around, I'll be in charge of his position. I would like to ask theseniors for advice on all matters in the future."
The people who attended the meeting were all old foxes. Why wouldn't they understand whyBenedict asked Old Master Yardley to come out? Some of them did not choose sides while somechose casually. They did not care who would be the president of the Yardley Corporation.
Mr. Clark stood up and spoke for her.
"Although we have not had a female president before but... Now that Maddox isn't here, you shouldtake over as the president until Maddox returns."
From the beginning, Mr. Clark had been very supportive of her. Minerva lowered her position andsaid to him softly, "Thank you, Mr. Clark. But... I'm still inexperienced and I'm not suitable to becomepresident. I'll ask for the vice president's position. As for the position of president... I'll wait forMaddox to come back."
"Alright," replied Albert.
"If anyone still has doubts about my identity, you can look for my lawyer directly," said Minerva.
No one spoke at the scene. Old Master Yardley was extremely angry. He slammed the table andsaid, "Nonsense. How can my Yardley Corporation let you, a woman from another family, take over?Are you all old and confused?"
Albert looked at Old Master Yardley and said, "Then, according to the Old Master Yardley'sintentions. If the Yardley Corporation could not be taken over by the one with the greatest amount ofshares, should it be taken over by someone who was kicked out from the Yardley Corporation?"
Old Master Yardley said, "If Maddox has passed away, those shares should naturally..." Before hefinished his words, Sam quickly answered, "Old Master Yardley, it's none of your business. YoungMaster Yardley has planned everything. It's better for you to go back to the sanatorium and take agood rest. Mr. Yardley, you forcefully took him out to support you regardless of the safety of OldMaster Yardley. It's not good, isn't it?"
Everyone understood the sarcasm in his words. Albert turned his face and pretended that he didn'thear anything.
Mr. Lowell, who wanted to help Benedict, also became speechless at this time.
The battle was over before it even began.
