Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2607

Percy was expressionless when he mentioned his own name.

The shareholders could not help but wonder what Percy had in mind when they saw him like that. It did not look like he was getting dismissed at all.

To be able to read the proposal out loud in such a calm voice, it was either Percy had a well-thought-out plan that would ensure the proposal would be voted down, or he was giving up his position.

The minor shareholders could not figure it out. The major shareholders who owned more shares were even more confused.

Old Master Mallory had already informed them in advance, and they had made known their position on this. Some people supported Percy, but most of the shareholders showed respect to Old Master Mallory by supporting Pierre…

That was why Percy would definitely lose time.

Even so, Percy, who had never lost in any competition, could still keep himself so calm. Was he waiting for a miracle to happen?

Everyone was secretly curious about it.

After giving his speech, Percy returned to his seat and sat down.

Even though the seats were arranged side by side, there was the title of the chairman of the board on Percy’s seat. Pierre was green with envy when he saw that.

Previously, before Percy was together with Nina, Pierre had never been so desperate nor longed for the position. He never expected he would be going up against Percy one day. Percy was the one who took away everything he had.

Now, all Pierre wanted was to sit in that position that was supposed to belong to him!

“Soon…” Pierre muttered to himself.

After Percy gave his speech, the manager of the PR department walked to the podium and continued to chair the meeting.

“Let’s proceed to the first and only proposal of the meeting, which is to dismiss Percy Mallory from his post as CEO and nominate Pierre as the CEO of Mallory Corporation. I’d like to invite Mr. Pierre up here to share his thoughts with us.”

Pierre rose to his feet and stood up straight. He looked at everyone in the hall with a victorious smile.

Among the numerous shareholders of the company, most of the shareholders were supporting him.

Pierre walked up to the podium and began giving his speech, "Good morning, dear shareholders. My name is Pierre Mallory. It’s a great honor to be nominated as a candidate to become the next CEO. If I…"

Percy listened to Pierre’s speech calmly. He looked down and took out his phone under the table. Then, he glanced at the local online forum on the internet.

The news Percy had asked his men to post on the internet was already on the homepage.

Percy kept his phone away. The only thing left now was to let these people know…

Pierre’s speech was lengthy. It was all about how he would be leading Mallory Corporation to success after he became the CEO and how he would develop Mallory Corporation's business.

His speech lasted for 20 minutes, and he still had not stopped talking.

Luca listened to Pierre's speech in her office. She also noticed the changes in the live chat of the broadcast.

The speech sounded professional at the beginning. However, the public eventually started complaining Pierre for being so long-winded. What he said sounded like a pie in the sky. Eventually, people commented and urged others to head to the online forum.

Luca immediately picked up her phone and opened the local online forum. She smiled after staring at her phone for a while. Percy was finally starting to bring out the big guns.

She continued to watch the live broadcast on the computer.

Five minutes later, Pierre was done giving his speech.

Pierre’s face turned pale white as he had a bad feeling about this. He could not help but take his phone out. Old Master Mallory, who sat beside him, stopped him and said, “Calm down.”

Pierre stopped his gesture stiffly and stared at Percy, who was walking back to his seat.

What did he prepare?

Percy returned to his chairman seat and looked in front of him calmly.

There were noises of people crying out in surprise behind him. No one was talking about it, but there were sounds of people continuously gasping with astonishment.

Pierre could not calm himself down when he heard those noises.

However, he could not show that he was nervous in front of Old Master Mallory.

The manager of the PR department gave Percy a confused look when he saw the situation. Should he proceed to the next stage now?

Percy signaled his assistant to come over and talked to him in a low voice.

His assistant nodded at the manager and made a gesture signaling him to proceed to the next step.

The manager of the PR department spoke at once, "Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, Mr. Percy. Next, we'll begin the next session, which is the voting session. Every shareholder present has a ballot paper. Please write down whether you'll be supporting the decision or not. You may exercise your rights and choose to abstain from voting too. Then, our staff members will collect the ballots from all of you and place them in a ballot drop box. The notary public working for the government of A City will count the votes based on the shareholding ratio of every shareholder."

After that, there were staff members distributing the ballot papers to the shareholders.

Percy was the first one to get the ballot paper. After he ticked the disagree box on the ballot paper, he stood up and dropped off his ballot into the ballot drop box.

Pierre took Old Master Mallory’s and his ballot papers and dropped them into the box immediately after that too.
