Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1068

Suddenly, Debra remembered something Drake had told her the other day.

"What would a rich lady like you understand? You value pride over survival. But for small-timers like them? Pride means nothing. Staying alive is all that matters."

She frowned. "Theda was abandoned in the countryside when she was little and lived a tough life for over ten years, right?"

"Exactly."

"Then how could she not understand how hard it is for small-timers to survive?"

Just then, Theda and Melody took the stage. The purple satin gown on Theda seemed a bit too bold for the occasion.

She started, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for attending the cooperation banquet between the Buchan Group and the Nichols Group. It also marks my new journey as the new president of the Nichols Group. I will lead the company toward an even brighter future."

Her speech shocked everyone in the hall.

After all, Juan hadn't made an appearance in days. Even if he were stepping down, he should have faced and addressed the shareholders.

Erica spoke up, "Ms. Buchan, no offense, but you're going to take control of the Nichols Group? If I'm not mistaken, you don't have any shares, right?"

Several shareholders of the Nichols Group nodded in agreement. They all coveted the position left by Juan, but Melody invited an outsider to take over the company, which was unacceptable.

"Who says Theda doesn't have shares?" Melody interjected. "I've transferred my shares to her. She has every right to run for president of the Nichols Group."

The big shareholders immediately voiced their objections.
