Chapter 2604
Luca felt troubled, and she said, “Make a 1000-fold dilution for this sample and place it in another pieceof equipment."
"Okay." Rhett thought it would be better for him to keep quiet when he noticed Luca pulling a long face.He completed everything as he was told.
Luca watched the two pieces of equipment that were running. She just had to wait for the results now.
"Dr. Craw, is there anything else I can help with?" Rhett asked.
"No. That's all," answered Luca. She noticed there were a few samples on the laboratory table Rhetthad chosen just now. Then, she asked, "Are you doing some research too?"
"Yes. I'd like to try doing some research before we take up a new project." Rhett took the gloves off andscratched the back of his head while smiling embarrassingly.
His research was not on Luca's level compared.
Even so, Rhett still wanted to give it a try.
"Great. Then you'll be in the lab the entire time, right?" Luca asked again. She glanced at the time. Theextraordinary general meeting of Mallory Corporation would begin soon.
"Yes." Rhett nodded and waited for her next instruction.
"Please send the report to my office right away after the result is out," instructed Luca. She hadbecome more cautious when the previous analysis report was seen by the other researchers.
Still, Rhett was someone she could still trust.
"Sure. No problem." Rhett nodded and promised her.
"I'll leave you to your work. I'm going back to the office to do some paperwork," said Luca as she leftthe laboratory.
Luca strode across the hallway outside the laboratory. After she returned to her office, she closed thedoor and turned on the computer. Then, she went to Mallory Corporation's website and found the livebroadcast.
The live broadcast of the extraordinary general meeting happened to be broadcasting now.
Luca leaned on the office chair. A nervous feeling crept in as she stared at the computer screen.
It was as though she was Percy Mallory.
Mallory Corporation.
The conference hall was full of shareholders.
Even though the shareholders were on camera, the meeting had yet to begin. They were whispering ineach other's ears as they had received the proposal for today's meeting.
Although rumors had been flying around the city, it was only the moment they saw the proposal didthey truly realize Mallory Corporation was serious about bringing a new CEO on board.
However, would it be that easy to replace the CEO of a company? The shareholders were in doubt,especially those small-time shareholders who relied on Percy for benefits. Now, the company wanted toreplace Percy and bring in a new CEO. They started to worry about the company's profitability if Pierrewere to take over the CEO position.
They all knew the young master of the Mallory family, Percy, was capable enough. However, thesecond young master of the Mallory family had always just been helping Percy handle some mattersthat were inconvenient for him to deal with himself.
“Mr. Percy is here." The greeter of the extraordinary general meeting announced. Everyone in theconference hall immediately fell silent and turned to look at the entrance.
The black-colored solid wooden door was pushed open. All eyes were on Percy as he entered theconference hall and came to his seat.
He was not the chairman of the shareholders' meeting today, but where he was sitting was the seatPierre had his eyes on.
Percy had just sat down when some of the shareholders wanted to come forward to greet him, but theyheard the greeter announcing, "Mr. Rowan Mallory and Mr. Pierre are here."
Rowan Mallory was Old Master Mallory's name.
Percy stared coldly at the entrance, watching Pierre help Old Master Mallory as they slowly walked intothe hall. There was a confident smile on the corner of Pierre's lips.
Percy looked down and glanced at the time. It was already 9:44 a.m.
Their arrival was well-timed.
The greeter led Old Master Mallory and Pierre to the seat beside Percy.
Old Master Mallory was still mad at Percy. Hence, he sat down on the chair that was one seat awayfrom Percy, leaving the seat between them empty. Pierre was indifferent about it. He sat right besidePercy. "It's been a long time, Brother," Pierre smirked. Since Madam Mallory was admitted to thehospital, the brothers did not see each other again after they met in the hospital last time.
Madam Mallory was in bad condition. Percy never came back home either. He wanted to fight againstthe Mallory family for Nina's sake.
"It's all thanks to the shareholders' meeting. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to see me." Percygave Old Master Mallory a cold look.
Looking at Old Master Mallory from the side, he saw that the old man was pulling a long face. Thewrinkles on his face grew deeper when he wore a stern expression.
He must be very unhappy about it. After he announced that he would be holding an extraordinarygeneral meeting, Percy still did not come back home and submit to him.
“I guess so. I'll probably be able to see you at the shareholders' meeting in the future. You'll be sitting inmy seat, listening to me giving speeches on stage." There was a hint of slyness in Pierre's eyes. Afterthis, Mallory Corporation would belong to him.
No matter how many shares Percy owned in Mallory Corporation, he would only be one of thecompany's shareholders next time.
Pierre swore that he would take everything from Percy bit by bit.
The company and his wife would eventually belong to him.
"Who knows? Are you so sure about that?" Percy looked down. His phone vibrated for a second, andhe received a text message.
[Done.] There was only one word written in the message.
Percy placed his phone into his suit pocket.
"I have confidence in everything I do. In the end, your position and your woman will belong to me,"Pierre slowly uttered the words in Percy's ears.
Even though Pierre said it in a soft hushed tone, Old Master Mallory heard what he said. He cleared histhroat and said, "Pierre."novelbin
"Yes, Grandpa." Pierre sat up straight.
Old Master Mallory knew how ambitious Pierre was, including how much he wanted Nina.
Old Master Mallory admitted that the two successors of the Mallory family had been bewitched by thatwitch, Nina. Fortunately, Pierre was not as blinded as Percy was to marry Nina and make her his wife.
He knew Pierre was just fooling around. He was not planning to stop Pierre either. Then, he asked, "Doyou have confidence this time?"
"Of course," Pierre replied confidently. He would definitely make Percy suffer a crushing defeat thistime.
A quarter to 10 in the morning...
The host of the shareholders' meeting stood on the podium. He was the manager of the PR departmentat Mallory Corporation. After he adjusted the microphone, he began to speak. "A very good morning toall fellow shareholders! Thank you for taking the time to attend Mallory Corporation's extraordinarygeneral meeting today. Now, let us all welcome the chairman of the board and the CEO of thecompany, Mr. Percy Mallory, to come forward to give his speech and chair the meeting."
Percy rose to his feet and made his way to the stage while everyone fixed their gazes on him.
Percy adjusted the height of the microphone calmly. He was not holding any scripts in his hands. Heglanced at the so-called extraordinary general meeting and started to speak, "Good morning, fellowshareholders. Our company has been expanding into new markets with your support. We were able toachieve and even surpass the goals the board of directors had set for various production and business
operations of the company every year. All our employees have poured in their efforts to bring in hugeprojects. We've also gained some great achievements. Next, let's get down to business. I'll start withdiscussing the first proposal of the shareholders' meeting about dismissing Percy Mallory from his postas CEO and nominating Pierre Mallory to become the new CEO of Mallory Corporation."
