Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 369

"Soon you'll know what I mean," Jean calmly replied, as she took out her phone from her bag.

Joy furrowed her brows. Fear was growing in her mind as she guessed what her stepdaughter was up to.

"Since my father has difficulty getting around, he can't be present at this board meeting. Nevertheless, he has shot a video for everyone to see. I believe that you'll understand everything once you are done watching it." While speaking, Jean hinted at the assistant to connect the projector with her phone. She wanted to let people see it more clearly on the LED screen.

"No..." As soon as the assistant was signalled, Joy realized why Jean was here today. She was not stupid.

Her first reaction was to grab Jean's phone, but Jean had already thought of that, and she agilely dodged her away. Then, the security guards who had stood still till now suddenly moved.

They came into the meeting room one after another and surrounded Joy and Shirley so as to keep them from coming close to Jean.

"How's that possible?" Shirley was surprised and looked at Jean in disbelief.

"Look at the video first." Jean nodded to the assistant and handed her the phone.

The assistant quickly plugged the phone into the projector. Soon, the pale old face of Henry Wen appeared on the big LED screen.

"Dear executives, I am Henry Wen." The short opening remarks of Henry turned the meeting room silent.

Everyone looked at the screen holding their breath in great anticipation of what was to come.

When Jean looked at the screen and saw Henry's face, she was slightly touched.

No matter all the awful things he had done to her, obviously, the Wen Group's prestige and power was closest to his heart.

It was clear. He was a man who could betray his daughter by any possible means but to advance his career.

All his life, what else has mattered to him more than his company?

Earlier, Jean thought that Henry favored Joy, Shirley and Winner.

But now, the truth was different.

"After you finish watching this video, you will know what has truly happened. I'm sorry I have't managed my family well. And I'm sorry for letting you see it. What hurts me the most is that my wife Joy, who I always held high in regard, and my daughter Shirley forced me to sign the papers of transferring shares to them."

His words sparked a sensation in the board.

Joy's and Shirley's face turned dead pale.

The moment she knew that Jean had the video, Joy knew it was all gone.

She closed her eyes, ready to accept her fate and grew dreadfully white in front of the whole board.

But Shirley was unabated in her anger. She stared at Jean with popping eyes as hatred was written all over her face.

"Yes. The doctor has sentenced me to sit on the wheelchair for the rest of my life. But I am not a useless man. My family has done this to me. I have been heartbroken, and also realize how stupid I have been. It never occurred to me that the person by my side for the past 20 years is so ruthless and merciless. Even my daughter did this to me. What's the point in continuing my life?

But, I have an untiring heart. It has taken me several decades to make the Wen Group what it is today. I can't stand to see it falling into ruin. I have another daughter to whom I owe her a lot. It has been my mistake to neglect her all these years, but she lives with the truth. In fact, she has never done anything bad to me.

She did come back to the Wen Group to stop Joy and Shirley.

But she never wished to manage the Wen Group. She was now in the position out of no choice.

Approaching Joy's and Shirley's fallen face, Jean slowly walked up to them with a serene smile and said,"Now did you get my meaning? I will not be so ruthless that I'd cut both of you off all the way."

"What do you want?" Joy sharply looked at Jean with alert eyes.

"You can't return to the Wen family. You must have spent all your money and property to buy the ten percent of shares. If you still want a place to stay and keep yourselves fed, I'll let you stay in the Wen Group."

The moment Jean finished speaking, Shirley's eyes glittered and fixed on Jean.

"What's your condition?" It was obvious that Jean wasn't doing this out of kindness. Joy asked about the catch. After all, she was an experienced woman.

"Joy, I want to make a deal with you." With a frank expression, Jean blurted it out.

"What deal?" A cold laugh came out of Joy as she had already seen this coming.

Jean glanced at Shirley and turned back to Joy, smiling.

Joy instantly understood Jean's meaning and sent Shirley away. Then she turned to Jean,"Now Shirley is not here. You can say it."

"The deal is simple. Shirley can stay and work, but at the bottom of the company. Since I am her sister, I will treat her well. You too, can have the villa that you are presently living in."
