"You may leave now."
After the meeting, Jessica stood up and was about to leave when an old shareholder said in displeasure, "Ms. Greenspan, I have known Mr. Stark for so many years and know what kind of person he is. You should honestly tell us where he has gone. He can't let you take charge of the company!"
Jessica stopped and looked straight at him.
"So do you think that I hid him somewhere?"
"It is very likely!"
In this company, he and Mr. Stark had been here for the longest time while Jessica had just gotten here. From his standpoint, there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Why would I do that? Mr. Stark has shown me nothing but kindness, if not for him, I will not be standing here today. Don't you think your idea is ridiculous?"
"But as the saying goes, greed drives men insane. Maybe you are not satisfied with your current position and you want more?"
Jessica smiled, "I don't think I'm the one who wants more, but you."
The look on the old shareholder's face suddenly changed, "What are you saying?"
"Isn't it true? No one else here raised an objection. You are the only who objected. Is it because you have been in lower position than Mr. Stark and you want to replace him?"
Her words brought all the attention of the rest shareholders to this old shareholder.
The old shareholder was unhappy, he angrily said, "That is absurd! Everyone here knows that Mr. Stark and I have been friends for years. You think you can sow discord between us with just a few words!"
"Sow discord? I don't think I can make it. Everyone here has his own judgment, I believe that one day the truth will reveal itself when the time comes!"
With that, Jessica left.
The old shareholder looked at everyone, who looked at him with suspicious eyes, he became angry from shame.
"You have worked with me for so long and have only known her for a few days, you chose to believe her instead of me? Don't you feel it ridiculous?"
All of them were in quiet deliberation.
"Fine, just wait and see, if you insist on believing in that woman, the company will go bankrupt sooner or later."
The old shareholder went straight out.
He was upset in the company that he didn't want to stay anymore, so he left the company building.
He was surprised that Sophia would appear in front of him.
"Mr. Johns, it's been a long time!"
The old shareholder looked at her and sighed, "Ms. Lawson, let's find a place to talk. I know a nice place."
Sophia knew that he was a smart man and she smiled, "Alright."
As soon as the two left, they were seen by someone, who then told Jessica about it.
Jessica sneered and said, "What should I worry? They just met."
"Ms. Greenspan, think about it. Mr. Johns met Ms. Lawson at this time. The two will certainly collude against you."
"Since even you know that they want to collude, why should I worry about it? Now that I have gotten Mr. Stark out of the picture, the biggest threat now is Mr. Johns, why can't I take this chance to get rid of him too?"
The person seems to understand what she meant, "Ms. Greenspan, you are brilliant! I didn't think of that at all. In that case, should we give it a little push?"
