Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 680

More than ten board members and shareholders were seated on the other side.

Since John and Joel were old enough now, Xavier allowed John to manage most business matters. Currently, he was in semi-retired mode.

Therefore, although a lot of major shareholders were present today, the meeting was chaired by John.

The majority of attendees did not have any objections to the topic.

After all, John had proved his worth and was no worse than Xavier. In fact, he had the potential to surpass his father.

Everybody was satisfied with John. Moreover, Xavier had always wanted to hand the company over to him. Although he did not announce it publicly, everyone knew that John would be the future owner of the Foster Corporation.

At the moment, the attendees noticed a scowl on John’s face. They began to question what happened.

Meanwhile, the phones of a few shareholders buzzed. When they pulled their phones out secretly, shock filled their faces.

In spite of John’s effort to get people to cover up the news, the accident had occurred in broad daylight on the road.

The media might fear the Fosters and refuse to report about the matter, but other onlookers simply did not care. In addition to that, the majority of shareholders had their own sources of news, so they were informed about the accident as well.

Therefore, as soon as the accident occurred, Natalie called John in time and forbade him from going to the hospital. Instead, she told him to stay put at the company to keep the shareholders in place.

Someone stood up at once and exclaimed with a pale face, “The chairman has gotten into an accident!”

“Huh?”

The rest of the attendees who had not received the news update were horrified. They stared at the man in shock.

The man who had spoken was a middle-aged individual in his forties. He was also the second-biggest shareholder of the Foster Corporation known as Mr. Hanks.

Now, he was staring at John sternly and speaking in a low voice, “President Foster, shall we call it a day? The chairman has been involved in an accident and we can’t ignore him. We’d better head to the hospital.”

As soon as he finished speaking, panic spread across the room.

Immediately, someone asked anxiously, “What?! The chairman has been involved in an accident?”

“Yes, I just received the latest update. I heard he’s in the operating theatre now and his life is at stake!”

“Yes, yes, I received it too. It seems serious, and we ought to visit him. Why are we still sitting here? Let’s go!”

Then, a group of people started to leave.

At that exact moment, John spoke. He was neither panicked nor furious. Instead, he addressed the room in a calm manner, “What are all of you trying to do?”

Everyone was startled and turned to regard him. They saw John sitting on his chair with his legs crossed elegantly, staring at them.

He seemed to regard his subjects with a cold yet mocking gaze that sent shivers down one’s spine. They were terrified of his oppressive aura and dared not respond.

After a while, someone uttered softly, “We wanted to have a look at him at the hospital.”
