Bernardo knew that he couldn't stop Amber from becoming the chairwoman of the board of Goldstone.
Besides, he cooperated with Braylee to force her to give out her shares today, so Amber must have hated him already. If she became the chairwoman of the board, she would definitely arbitrate him instantly.
Hence, to avoid being arbitrated, the only thing that he could do was to force Amber to let Braylee take five-point-five percent shares. Therefore, as long as Amber's shares wouldn't exceed fifty percent, she wouldn't achieve absolute holding of the company shares. That meant she wouldn't be able to arbitrate him.
Looking at his eyes sparkling with schemes, Amber knew what was in his mind.
She smiled. "Okay. I'll give it to her. It'll depend on her capability if she could keep it."
Then she pulled out her phone and called Sheila in.
"Sheila, draft a share transfer," Amber said.
In the beginning, she had known that she would probably lose five-point-five percent. Even if Bernardo didn't ask her to give them to Braylee, Amber would give them to her.
Therefore, Amber wasn't surprised when hearing his request. She didn't panic, now was she unwilling.
As she had said earlier, Braylee was just an idiot. If Amber had any chance, she could set up Braylee in the future to take back the five-point-five percent.
Upon hearing Amber's order, Sheila glanced at Braylee in surprise. Then she nodded. "I see, Ms. Reed. I'll get it done now."
With those words, Sheila left the conference room to draft the document.
Soon, it was done.
Amber and Braylee signed the share transfer, witnessed by all the senior executives, shareholders, and lawyers of the legal department of Goldstone.
Since then, Braylee had five-point-five percent shares of Goldstone.
Although it was far less than twenty-five-point-five percent that she had wished, she knew she couldn't get that much. Hence, she had managed to gain some shares, much to her surprise.
"Since I'm a shareholder now, I should have a position in Goldstone, right? Amber, I want your position." Braylee put away the share transfer, looking at Amber in a provocation.
Amber squinted. "Of course, you can have a position. I hope you won't make fun of yourself."
"Hah! You've underestimated me. Amber, even you can manage the company. I believe I'll do a better job." Braylee raised her chin, looking self-confident and proud.
Amber smiled faintly. "Really? I'll wait and see then. If you dare to make trouble in the company or do something to ruin the company's reputation, I'll fire you."
Then she ignored Braylee, looking over at Bernardo opposite. "Mr. Delgado, since I'm the chairwoman of the board now. You should give me back the management power, right?"
Bernardo gritted his teeth. After a long time, he took a deep breath to calm down and answered, "Of course. Now you're the chairwoman of the board. You should have all the management power."
Amber smiled. "That's good. Mr. Delgado, you can enjoy your retirement in this case. You don't need to work so hard to help me manage the company. After all, you should retire now."
Then she stood up calmly under Bernardo's deadly gaze. Clapping, Amber said, "All right, everyone. Today's general meeting of shareholders is over. Dismiss."
"Yes, Ms. Reed," all the senior executives and shareholders stood up and answered. They congratulated Amber on becoming the chairwoman of the board.
Amber slightly closed her eyes, enjoying their blessings.
She had to admit that she enjoyed being the chairwoman more than being the managing director of Goldstone.
She liked it indeed.
Amber didn't spare a glance at Bernardo or Braylee at all. She picked up her laptop and walked towards the door of the conference room.
She was the chairwoman of the board now, so she was the first one to leave. Others would follow her.
Bernardo would go first in the past, and now it was her turn.
