A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 124

Miss Olivia sits in Louis's place, while Katherine is sitting next to her. The ambition is self-evident.

When Lily enters the conference room, Katherine frowns and says, "Lily, your department is set up by former Mr. Louis on his own and he doesn't tell anyone else. Even if you are the manager, you shouldn't be here."

What Katherine says sounds exactly like what Julian said to her the first time she was here.

"The former Louis." Did they have kick Louis out so soon?

Lily smiles lightly and says, "My department is set up by Mr. Louis alone, but it was announced in the presence of all senior executives, I wonder what Miss Katherine meant when you said that he did not inform the others. Did you mean he did not inform the shareholders or the several vice presidents?"

"Unless they want to change the CEO. Otherwise, the shareholders would not step in the changing of the senior executives. The duties of several vice presidents are to assist the president in managing the company and respect the president's decision."

Katherine's expression changes immediately after Lily retorts her. She smiles coldly, "What an eloquent girl!"

"Forget it. Don’t waste time on a junior." says Miss Olivia.

Katherine says no more.

For the shareholders, Lily, though she helps Louis, is not important person in their eyes. Except for Katherine, almost no one cares about her and pays attention to her.

Soon the meeting starts. As Lily guesses, it is about Louis's car accident.

"Louis is my nephew," Olivia says. "I saw what he has done a lot for the Smith Group, and I didn't expect that the accident would happen to him. He lost his legs and is still unconscious."

"Louis will be treated well in the hospital, but the Smith Group can't wait for it," Samson says. "The Smith Group just lost two billion dollars today and it needs a leader."

And that's what all shareholders don't want to see.

The fall of the Smith Group’s stock will cause them to lose a lot of money. If Louis can’t manage the Smith Group for a short time, they have to choose a leader to manage the Smith Group and stop the stock to decline.

Miss Olivia looks gentle and unassuming, but from where she sits, everyone can know what she wants to do.

Samson and Gill have coveted the position for a long time, and certainly they will not let Olivia to get it.

Samson even says, "Miss Olivia, we know that you want to contribute to the Smith Group. But Mr. Smith has said that the Smith Group can only have at most two members of the Smith family in the company."

"I will not cross the line my brother sets." "My nephew is still in a coma in the hospital and I don't know when he's going to wake up," Olivia says, "Right now there is only Katherine in the Smith Group."

Lily sits at the end of the conference table and watches the wonderful play.

She also learns that when profit comes first, some people are more vicious and uglier than she thought.

Olivia has privately contacted several of the shareholders and they reached an agreement that they would stand by her side and speak for her.

With half of the shareholders out of town, Samson and Mr. Gill, of course, lost out to Olivia.

It is almost the fact that Olivia will run the Smith Group.

Lily knows she'll make a lot of enemies if she raises any questions, but she has to stand up and says, "Miss Olivia and Miss Katherine, plus Mr. Louis in the hospital, there are three people of the Smith family in the Smith Group."

Olivia doesn't expect Lily to go against her at this point. Unhappiness flashes by Olivia’s eyes, but her voice is still soft. "I have said that Louis is in a coma and not in a position to run the Smith Group," she says.

"Yes, he did, but he isn't fired from the Smith Group. He still stays in the Smith Group." says Lily calmly, "So, if you take this position, it will break the rules of the Smith Group and the Reputation of the Smith family.
