My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy) novel Chapter 398

Most of the shareholders in the meeting stood and clapped for William's speech. He threw a glance at Amy arrogantly. 'She is now thrown aside by me, these shareholders lose their mind and principle when it comes to profit.' He thought.

"May I ask the acting CEO, Amy, if you have anything to say?" William had fully sunken into the sounds of clapping now.

"Yes, I do." Amy stood up right away.

Her action surprised William. She was a woman, she should be frightened by the current situation, what else that she had to say?

"Gentlemen, please allow me to voice my opinion." Amy gazed at everyone around the table and their discussion stopped, feeling curious about what she was about to say.

"It's true that I was troubled and had once put Newell Group in a difficult situation, however, those were all because of tricks played by someone else, I believe it was clearly stated on the news in R City, I have contributed significantly to Newell Group's development too." Amy distributed the results she achieved in Newell Group to everyone.

"In addition, there is also documented results where William was the CEO and branch manager a few years back for your reference." Amy distributed the information she had to the rest of the members.

Though the shareholders were not directly involved in management, they understood what the results meant.

"Amy! Such a cunning lady! How dare you show them this information!" William was attacked unprepared.

"We are held responsible for providing bonuses and profit for our shareholders, but it isn't something that could be done through speech; it needs to be done by action. I guess all of you have seen the information distributed earlier, let's start voting now. Each vote is anonymous, the one who received higher votes will become the acting CEO of HD Group." It was Amy's style to do things straight and quick, she disregarded William and instructed Finnley to distribute a voting ballot inside an envelope each to the shareholders.

William didn't expect such a move from Amy, he had only prepared emotional speeches but it all seemed weak and useless against Amy's attack.

His previous achievement was nothing compared to Amy's, he thought he could take over the position by bribing a few of the board members but he was wrong. He was nothing compared to Amy.

"Alright, everyone had written down their vote, may I please invite a few shareholders as volunteers to read the votes? I want this to be fair and square, hence, my assistant won't be counting the vote." Amy let the shareholders chose a few well-respected members to count the votes.

William skipped a heartbeat with every vote read aloud and he became completely disappointed once the shareholders finished counting the votes.

Amy had 90 percent of the votes while he had only a few.

"May I confirm that everyone voted out of their willingness and not by force? If there's no objection, I will continue to be the acting CEO." Amy said without delayed, she didn't even make any further explanation and went straight to the conclusion.
