I Stopped Loving Him When He Let Me Bleed Out novel Chapter 309

Ford Fletcher's smile hadn't even fully formed before it froze on his face.

"Jarvis... you...!"

"I also support Finn," Lance Dayton chimed in.

When he spoke his truth, his gaze shifted to Finn Fletcher.

There was eagerness and hope in his eyes.

It was a completely different look from the one he had just given Ford.

"Lance, are you out of your mind?" Ford completely lost his composure. "What exactly do you two mean by this?"

"When you get old, you tend to favor those with a bit of humanity," Jarvis Dayton's voice wasn't loud, but every word was crystal clear. "It's too exhausting to deal with hypocritical snakes."

Among the other shareholders, some were thrilled, while others looked disappointed.

But the vast majority were satisfied with this outcome.

Without any suspense, Finn secured over half the votes and emerged victorious.

Those who had initially backed Ford saw that the tide had turned. After quickly assessing the situation, they immediately changed their tune and rushed to curry favor with the new chairman.

Ford stood there, looking like a forgotten statue.

"Impossible! I don't accept this!" Ford's face was dark and grim.

No one paid him any attention.

Finn closed the file in front of him. He adjusted his cuffs, looked up, and swept his gaze over everyone in the room.

"Meeting adjourned."

His voice wasn't loud, but the weight of those two words pressed down on the entire conference room.

In that moment, power was materialized.

Ford's lips trembled, his throat working as if he were being strangled.

Finn stood up, and someone immediately bowed to open the door for him.

He paused at the threshold without looking back.

"Ford, there's no need for you to attend next Monday's board meeting."

For the past few months, Sienna Sterling had been organizing data for a multi-center medical study.

Staring at dense spreadsheets and follow-up records for thousands of patients, she cross-checked them line by line. When her eyes burned, she used eye drops; when her neck grew stiff, she leaned back to rest for a moment.

Staying busy kept her from thinking about a certain someone.

"At the university you enrolled me in! I came early to get familiar with the campus."

"What university?"

"Sienna, stop hiding it. Silas already told me it was your idea. You said you were going to stop looking after me, but it turns out you were just testing me."

Sienna was completely baffled.

"Why are you calling him Silas?"

"Silas Hayes! Come on, Sienna, you've been leaving early and coming home late for the past month. I was wondering what you were so busy with, but it turns out you were busy dating and finding me a new brother-in-law!"

Sienna had been incredibly busy lately—so busy she barely had time to eat or sleep, practically living at the hospital twenty-four hours a day.

She had hardly interacted with the outside world.

To avoid seeing any news about Finn, she had even disconnected herself from social media.

Sienna leaned back in her chair and stared at the ceiling.

Silas Hayes had pulled strings to get her brother into a university and wired her family half a million dollars.

And as the person at the center of it all, she hadn't known a single thing.

Sienna dialed Silas's number, but Caspar Young answered.
