My Ex-Husband Wants Me Again novel Chapter 3

Pearl entered the elevator with the executives. She turned to the vice CEO, Samuel Goodman, and asked, "There're a few not present, right?"

"Yes," Samuel replied respectfully and amiably. "The older ones, headed by Mr. Ralph, think coming down is beneath them. They wanted you to know they're in charge."

"Is that so?" Pearl was unfazed, her face cold. "Things have changed, but my uncles are still clueless."

Ralph Woolery sat in the meeting room with five directors, their legs crossed as they enjoyed their coffee. They appeared nonchalant but were anxious inwardly.

"Why isn't anyone here?" Ralph sat in the chairman's seat, his chubby face impatient. He ordered the female secretary behind him, "Go check it out."

"Ralph, chill. He'll come eventually. He's probably asserting himself." Errol Woolery wore a priest outfit and held a rosary, appearing religious.

"Youngsters are so unreliable now." Ralph shook his head. "Relax. Just go according to our plan. The company belongs to our family. I have the final say."

As they discussed how to intimidate the new CEO, the secretary returned with a pale face. "Bad news, Mr. Ralph. The new CEO summoned all the management to another meeting room. The meeting is ending soon..."

"What?" They leaped to their feet angrily. "We contributed so much to the company. How dare he ignore us?" He is so outrageous!"

The secretary stammered, "The CEO isn't a guy. It's a woman..."

They were shocked again.

As Pearl announced the meeting was over, Ralph and Errol barged in furiously with a group of people. However, they were astonished to see her. "Pearl... How could it be you?"

Ralph and Errol were caught off guard. They didn't expect their niece to be the savior who acquired 51% of Woolery Group shares.

Three years ago, the heiress of Woolery Group accidentally fell off a cliff during a mountain climb. Her body was never found. Seizing the opportunity, Ralph and Errol divided her assets and stocks. They didn't expect her to return safely.

Pearl enjoyed the shock on their faces, leaning lazily back in her seat. "Uncle Ralph, Uncle Errol, aren't you happy?"
