Most of the shareholders in the conference room were familiar with Caleb and knew his handwriting. So, they knew that this will was indeed written by Caleb.
In other words, this will was true. Caleb had given all his assets and shares to Jamie. This was understandable. After all, Caleb only had one daughter.
Jamie didn't put on any makeup. She tried to squeeze out a few more drops of tears.
"My father is still in a coma. I am so young. This is the first time I've experienced this kind of thing. I don't know what to do. So, please help me."
Jamie's words touched the people present.
"We are only shareholders and do not have any actual power. Right now, the power of the company is in the hands of Roy. What about Mr. Roy?"
On the surface, Roy was only a special assistant to Caleb. But, everyone knew that Caleb treated Roy as his son. If Caleb had not found Jamie, everyone would think that the Bullock Group would be given to Roy.
When everyone mentioned Roy, Jamie became angry.
"If it weren't for him, my father wouldn't have become like this!"
Jamie played the recording she had recorded last night to everyone.
These people knew Roy. So, they recognized his voice.
"I never thought that Mr. Roy would do such a thing! How hateful!"
"If Mr. Caleb hadn't found his daughter, the company would most likely be Caleb's. Of course, he wouldn't be satisfied."
Everyone discussed, and no one doubted the authenticity of the audio.
"Miss Jamie, you are the only daughter of Mr. Caleb. Now Mr. Caleb is unconscious, and Mr. Caleb wrote a will that he will give you all the shares of the company. Then you can become the acting chairman now."
"That's right. Previously, Mr. Caleb had always been the chairman and president. Since Mr. Caleb is in a coma, you are the acting chairman. Why don't you appoint someone to be the president?"
"What need is there to appoint others? Miss Jamie can just directly assume the position of president. Hasn't Mr. Caleb been letting Miss Jamie familiarize herself with the company's business all this time?"
Jamie was waiting for everyone to say this. On the surface, this group of people supported Caleb, but they did not have many shares. Since they did not have much power in the company, at this time, they naturally would not get involved in this mess. They would let Jamie be the president and let her bear all the risks.
However, this was exactly what Jamie wanted.
"I don't agree with it!" Suddenly, an opposing voice sounded. Jamie followed the voice and looked over. The person who spoke was Ballard, the shareholder who was only second to Caleb.
Caleb had mentioned Ballard to Jamie many times. Since the establishment of the group, Ballard had worked together with Caleb. His contribution was no less than Caleb's, but he liked idle life.
After the company stabilized, Ballard retired and only enjoyed the company's dividends. So, he did not care about the company's affairs.
But at this time, Ballard spoke!
"Based on my understanding of Caleb, his will does not seem like his style of doing things," Ballard said lightly.
"Ballard, what do you think of Mr. Caleb's will?"
"Caleb likes to take precautions. His daughter has just been found. He was not very familiar with her. Jamie is a girl and doesn't understand the business of the company. Caleb can't give Jamie full responsibility for the company. This is not responsible for himself, but also the whole company."
Ballard stared at the table, and his tone was calm.
Jamie did not interrupt Ballard.
"In my opinion, it is his style to give his shares and property to his daughter. But he must have other arrangements, such as finding someone to act as the president. When his daughter gets familiar with the company, he will give the company to his daughter."
