She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew) novel Chapter 447

Nicolas was shocked for a moment before he laughed out loud, sounding maniacal.

Then he shouted sternly, "Matthew, you greedy bastard. Do you think you can get rid of me just because you've grown up? Let me tell you. I'll immediately request for a board meeting. I'll impeach you as the CEO and get you out of Graham Group."

Matthew was unmoved. "If you can do it, go ahead and give it a try." With that, he strode away.

As he walked out, he said to the servants he saw along the way, "My dad is old. His body and his brain are useless. When he makes a fuss or smashes something, you don't have to pay attention to him.

"Also, I will decide whether to fire you or keep you working for my family and how much your salary will be. You don't have to take what my dad said seriously."

The servants lowered their heads. "Yes, sir."

Matthew left just like that without looking back.

Nicolas was very angry. He fell into the chair and tried his best to inhale and exhale. It took him a long time to calm down. He called Neil and told him what had happened.

Then, he said, "I request to convene the board of directors to impeach Matthew, kick him off the board of directors, and remove him from his position as CEO."

Neil's tone was light. "You also know that I'm old and don't care much about the company's matters. Call the directors yourself, and when a good number of them respond, you can hold the meeting. I can sign and approve any agreement reached by the board of directors."

With that, Neil hung up.

Nicolas looked at the blacked-out phone screen and felt depressed.

If the chairman did not attend the board meeting, it meant that he did not value it. Nicolas reckoned a meeting that Neil did not value wouldn't really succeed.

With this thought in mind, he called the other directors one by one.

The directors were polite to him, but when they heard the topic was impeachment, they all hesitated.

When they also heard that Neil was not attending the board meeting, they all found reasons to refuse.

In the end, only three directors expressed their willingness to attend the board meeting.

However, in accordance with the company's by-laws, for a meeting to be effective, at least two-thirds of the board of directors had to convene and participate.

Therefore, Nicolas failed to successfully convene a board of directors, let alone discuss Matthew's impeachment.

Although he didn't like to meddle in company matters, he wasn't stupid.

He knew in his heart that, as the vice chairman, he had already lost his power on the board. Basically, no one supported him.

He raised his head and looked out of the window. It was already evening, and the sun was setting in the west. The sunlight was faint golden and gentle. It was a beautiful sight even though it was almost night.
