Chapter 109 Competing for the Management Seat
All attendees sat upright.
Bernardo started sharing his business trip with them.
After that, he switched the subject to Amber. “I’ve known what happened in the company when I was away.
Amber, you did a good job on my behalf. Thank you for your hard work.”
On his behalf?

Amber frowned and smiled. “You are welcome, Mr. Delgado. After all, I’m the biggest shareholder of the company
and the vice president. It’s my duty to manage the company. Please don’t mention it.”
Bernardo’s mouth corner twitched, feeling angry.
It turned out Amber was a tough nut to crack.
He believed she had understood his implication. He would withdraw the management power from him.
“Really? Amber, you are quite sensible. I’ve returned. You should take a break,” Bernardo looked at Amber and said
with a sneer.
Amber looked into his eyes. “It’s alright. I’m still young. I like challenges. Please don’t worry, Mr. Delgado.”
Bernardo instantly looked annoyed.
Other senior executives and shareholders in the meeting room lowered their heads, daring not to utter any word.
They had never expected Amber to directly compete for the management seat with Bernardo.
They wondered if she was confident or just being brave.
Even Cole was agape at her boldness.
Although he believed it was inappropriate for Amber to be against Bernardo now, and she was way too reckless,
Cole loved her.
Hence, no matter what she did, he would take her side without any conditions..
“Good job, Babe!” Cole gestured to courage Amber.
Amber didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Gee. Just shut up.”
Cole giggled and shushed.
Seeing that Amber was even in a mood to flirt with Cole. Bernardo went outraged. “Are you serious, little girl?”
Amber smiled. “Of course. I hold the most shares of the company, and also I’m the vice president. It’ll be improper if I don’t have any management power. I need half of it.”
She knew she couldn’t win against Bernardo. After all, he had been managing the company for many years. More than half of the senior executives and shareholders in the meeting room were his henchmen.
However, she was reluctant to return all her management power. Hence, she decided to fight for at least half of it, although she might keep all of the management power for the time being.
Bernardo laughed in anger. “You are so ambitious. Why haven’t I found you are so ambitious before, Amber?”
Amber tossed her hair and answered calmly, “It was because my father had protected me back then. Nowtny father has passed away, I should face the storms myself. If my father still lived, he would definitely be happy for me. Don’t you think so, Uncle Delgado?”
Bernardo clenched his fists tightly. With viciousness in his eyes, he squeezed words between his teeth, “I agree with you.”
Amber was indeed capable. She even mentioned her father Hugo Reed to remind him that Hugo had been his teacher and guidance. If Bernardo mistreated Hugo’s daughter, he would be too ungrateful. However, Bernardo couldn’t retort at all. If he did, he would be the ungrateful person in others‘ eyes indeed. In that case, the public opinion would be against him.
Besides, his shares couldn’t compare to Amber’s. If public opinion impacted Goldstone Co., all the shareholders would be against him. In that case, they would hold a general meeting of shareholders and reselect the president. Then, his efforts in the past years would be in vain.
Thinking of that, Bernardo was so furious that his chest heaved up and down. However, he had to hold back his
anger. Looking at Amber gloomily, he said, “Like father, like daughter. All right, I can give half of it to you, Amber.
However…”
Amber’s eyes twinkled. “Please go ahead, uncle.”
She knew it wouldn’t be that simple.
He would set her up again for sure.
Bernardo picked up a file and continued, “This is a partnership proposal for the new energy technology. I’ve spent a lot of effort to gain the opportunity to compete for it. The sponsor wanted to find five business partners. If your
