Marilyn’s face reddened in anger, but she forced herself to tamp the fury down. “My husband is Samuel Faulkner, who thought the world of this child. Moreover, he had a good relationship with Armand. That’s why Armand made a will like this.”
“My, why can’t you just admit that the baby isn’t his? Look at you. You’ve gone all red!” Mirrin chuckled. “I’ve always lived in Xedells, and I know that you’ve been dating my son for thirteen years. Perhaps it’s because he still has feelings for you, and that’s why he’s so nice to you.”
“That was in the past,” Marilyn insisted with a slight scowl. “I’ve already broken up with Armand a long time ago. Please don’t accuse us of this.”
I’m a socialite from a proper family. I don’t have any relationship with some escort’s kid! Just the very thought of it sickens me.
“All right, all right. I won’t talk about it if you don’t want me to talk about it.” Mirrin then took out a pack of cigarettes from her bag. Her fluid motion made the shareholders force themselves to resist the urge to rush forward and light the cigarette for her.
There was a reason for Mirrin to be the top escort in Ambrosia for over two decades after all.
After lighting the cigarette and taking a huff of it, Mirrin continued, “Armand made a will stating that your child will get all the shares he has, but you haven’t even delivered the child yet. On the other hand, I’m his biological mother. I have to have Central Group’s shares. If you don’t agree with that, let’s bring this to court.”
Mirrin was determined, and her aggressive attitude made Peter and the others furrow their brows.
Peter had set up a shareholders’ meeting because he wanted to become Central Group’s CEO as soon as possible. That way, he would be able to gain control of Central Group soon, for the longer the matter dragged on, the likelier something else might happen.
Peter then gave Marilyn a look.
Instantly understanding what he wanted, Marilyn said to the lawyer, “In that case, we’ll both have half of Armand’s shares.”
Once the lawyer reassigned Armand’s shares, the peace in the conference room returned.
Samantha then pointed out that someone needed to manage Central Group while Armand was in a coma, and she voted for Peter to take Armand’s place.
