Female NovelChapter 371
In the current situation, Russell Enterprises existed in name only.
Sophie had covered the billion dollar deficit on the books with S Corporation's money. It was but a drop in the bucket.
Perry had embezzled a tremendous amount of money, and although she had already halted many projects, the losses were significant As night fell, people came knocking on the door of Russel Enterprises. All the visitors were shareholders of the company.
The shareholders demanded to withdraw their shares, including some of the Russell family members, all waiting to see how Sophie, the person in charge, would handle the situation.
At this moment, the hall was crowded with people. Sophie descended from the second-floor study, wearing a glittering mermaid gown. Her makeup was exquisite, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
"Sophie! We need a solution." A few elders spoke up.novelbin
"Russell Enterprises has halted all projects. We are at a loss and can't just watch our company go bankrupt!"
"Are we at risk of S Corporation severing ties with us now?"
Sophie felt they all had valid points and said lightly. "I'm aware of what you're trying to say. Given the current situation of the Russell family, who among you wishes to leave?"
Silence fell among the crowd.
One person then said, "Miss, if you could reconcile with Mr. Burke Burke International would be on our side, and the crisis the Russel family is facing would be easily resolved."
With this suggestion, nods and murmurs of agreement spread through the crowd.
"Yes, Miss, it might be a sacrifice on your part, but at least it would save the company!"
"Miss, if you and James could mend fences, we wouldn't withdraw our shares!"
After a few shareholders spoke, the managers and directors who were loyal to Sophie immediately expressed their dissatisfaction. "Miss Sophie has already burned bridges with the Burke family! What do you mean by this? Are you suggesting sacrificing her for your own benefits?"
"Exactly! That's too heartless! Have you forgotten how much money you've made these past few months because of Miss Sophie?" One of the shareholders, faced with the moral condemnation from the two executives, spoke sternly, "Ms. Sophie should know her own worth. Without James, Russell Enterprises can't survive!"
"If she refuses to reconcile with James, then we will withdraw our shares!"
Withdrawing shares would be adding insult to injury for the already struggling Russell Enterprises.
If Sophie were only the lady of the Russell family, she would be in a difficult position However, these shareholders didn't realize that she wasn't just the lady of the Russell family but also the person in charge of S Corporation.
"If you're set on leaving, then I won't stop you," said Sophie lightly.
The shareholders were taken aback by her response, 'Ms. Sophie, are you serious?"
"Of course. If you wish to leave, I certainly won't stop him, Sophie said with a smile. "If anyone else wishes to withdraw their shares, please step forward now. I will settle your accounts immediately. After that, you will have no ties to Russell Enterprises."
The shareholders exchanged looks.
One of them sneered, "Ms. Sophie, don't be naive. Do you realize how much money you'd have to pay out if we all withdrew our shares?"
Another shareholder laughed coldly. "Yeah, if you can't come up with the money, we'll have to take you to court.
