Dear sweetheart novel (Rayna and Julian) novel Chapter 469

Rayna watched them clamor about and guessed that the directors, who refused to accept the documents that Jasmine had signed, must have reached some kind of agreement with Mark.

Jasmine must have gone through a lot of trouble to gain Sanders Group’s shares.

At the thought of those terrible matters that happened overseas and Jasmine’s unconditional trust, Rayna swore to herself that she must keep Sanders Group safe until Jasmine regained consciousness.

Meanwhile, Mark was satisfied to see the directors’ attitudes.

He then pointed at the door and said to Rayna without hesitation, “We won’t acknowledge this agreement, not unless she comes to us personally to affirm the document’s authenticity! Please leave now.”

Rayna smiled. “It’s up to you whether to acknowledge it or not, but the law certainly does.”

Mark and the directors’ faces paled.

Rayna then pulled the chair back and sat down before enunciating, “From the moment Ms. Sanders signed her name on the agreement, Sanders Group belongs to me. Therefore, I have the right to intervene in anything regarding Sanders Group.”

Mark’s expression darkened, and he hissed, “You—”

“Please refer to me as Ms. Garland, for I am the CEO of the company now,” Rayna firmly said to him as she spared him a glance. “If you continue to disrespect me, I’ll have to ask you to leave.”

Words eluded Mark.

At the same time, Gabriel swiftly moved over to stand by Mark’s side, ready to make a move at any time.

Turning to the directors, Rayna said, “Everyone here holds Sanders Group’s shares because they want to earn some money. Regardless of whether Sanders Group’s CEO is Ms. Sanders or me, our goal is to help the company improve and develop. Mr. Tylinski, please head outside and get me Sanders Group’s financial reports for the last two years.”

“Of course, Ms. Garland.”

During the wait, some of the directors expressed their dissatisfaction with Rayna. They even said they were going to contact their lawyer to take Rayna to court for her supposed unjust enrichment.

However, Rayna kept her eyes fixed on the equity transfer agreement in silence, not even bothering to spare them a roll of her eyes.

A moment later, Gabriel returned in hastened footsteps with a stack of documents in his arms.

“Ms. Garland, these are Sanders Group’s financial reports for the recent two years. Ms. Sanders’ secretary has just passed me a flash drive and told me that this is what Ms. Sanders had left behind. Would you like to take a look at its content?”

Rayna guessed that Jasmine must have a reason to leave the flash drive with her secretary, so she asked Gabriel to insert it into a laptop and show everyone the contents.

Once the video in the flash drive was played, Jasmine’s figure was projected onto the screen.

“I am Jasmine Sanders, the legal representative and the chairman of Sanders Group.” In the video, Jasmine then showed the equity transfer agreement in front of the camera, seemingly wanting the viewers to get a clear view of it. She then continued, “If anything ever happens to me in the future, the shares I have of Sanders Group will all be transferred to Rayna Garland. This equity transfer agreement and this video are legally valid, and all consequences will be borne by me.”

Mark was not the only one astounded by the video; the directors were, too.

In fact, even Rayna was dumbfounded.

Did Jasmine predict something was going to happen to her when she was abroad? Was that why she made all of these arrangements beforehand?

With that thought in her mind, she found tears filling her eyes.

Suppressing the rising sorrow within her, Rayna then quickly read through Sanders Group’s financial reports.

The training she had been through had gotten her more used to reading documents; she knew which parts to read and how to analyze them.

I should thank Curtis for this. If he hadn’t taught me all these and given me room to learn, I wouldn’t have improved as quickly.

Rayna went through the documents one after another, and soon, she was done with them all.

After closing the file, she took in a deep breath and lifted her hand to gesture the number six. “I will let everyone see this number on Sanders Group’s financial report next year.”

“Are you kidding us?”

“A six percent increase? How is that possible?”

Right as those words were out of Rayna’s mouth, the directors began yelling and clamoring in disbelief.

Mark did the same.

Turning to look at Rayna, he sneered.

“Honey, you’re still young, and you must know what to say and what not to say. Don’t let arrogant words leave your mouth so easily. Sanders Group’s increase in profits has been steadily between three to four percent these years. Even the financial report for this year states a four-point-three percent increase. How can you possibly increase it to six percent?”
