Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2608

The voting session lasted for half an hour.

After that, the notary public of A City began to count the votes.

Percy sat on the chairman’s seat calmly. Pierre, who sat beside him, was on pins and needles.

Pierre wanted to stand up and head to the washroom to take a look at his phone. He wanted to see what was the news on the online forum that Percy mentioned.

Pierre knew it must be something advantageous to him when Percy mentioned it.

Anything advantageous to Percy would put Pierre in a disadvantageous position.

Old Master Mallory grabbed Pierre’s hand and asked, “Where are you going?”

“To the washroom,” replied Pierre.

“How can you do great things when you can’t remain calm?” Even though Old Master Mallory was curious about what Percy had posted on the online forum, he was confident about the proposal this time.

Old Master Mallory had met up with many of the shareholders before he called for the shareholders’ meeting, telling them that he would be supporting Pierre. He hoped that they could do him a favor and support Pierre too.

He convinced them courageously that even if Pierre took over the position of chairman and CEO of the company, Mallory Corporation would still be the same and there would not be many changes.

Most of the shareholders were close to him, and they told him that they would agree to the proposal during the meeting.

Percy would not be able to defeat him no matter what plans he came up with.

Pierre heard him and continued to remain seated. He glanced sideways to look at Percy. He was as calm as a millpond.

The vote counting was a cumbersome job. The shareholders were waiting for the results.

An hour later, the notary public stepped up to the podium with the results in his hands. Seeing as everyone was waiting for him, he announced the voting results.

"Regarding the proposal of dismissing Percy Mallory from his CEO position and nominating Pierre Mallory as the CEO of Mallory Corporation, I hereby announce the voting results. A total of three percent of the shareholders gave up their rights to vote. 36 percent of the shareholders agree with the proposal, and 61 percent disagree with the proposal. The final result is that the proposal has been rejected."

Percy listened to the announcement with a calm expression on his face. He already knew the outcome of this extraordinary general meeting.

Pierre had always thought that he was meticulous at work, but when he started planning to take over Mallory Corporation back then, Luke’s men had already begun to investigate him.

Pierre got himself involved in so many dirty businesses behind everyone’s back to make sure that he could start his own company.

Moreover, he made a whole lot of deals under the table to support his company and gain more business.

He had done so many things that Pierre could hardly remember each of them. After Old Master Mallory found out what he did, Madam Mallory helped Pierre to clean up the mess and handled many matters for him. She even destroyed all the evidence.

However, many things that he did in his early days were not covered up yet.

Madam Mallory thought she had everything settled, but there were some things she did not handle well. Percy had been holding the unfavorable proof against Pierre, and he had been waiting for this day.

Percy wanted to take their brotherhood into account too, but Pierre kept hurting Nina again and again. He even thought of snatching his lover. His relationship with Pierre was no longer a concern or reason for him to hold back.

The news on the online forum was all about what Pierre did. Other than the dirty businesses Pierre was involved in back then, there was also news about him purchasing another company’s bidding document through illicit channels. All the other things he did were posted online too.

It was Percy who asked Adrian to schedule the post on the online forum. That way, he could avoid what Old Master Mallory had done earlier.

All the news contained detailed information and evidence. It was difficult for everyone to not believe it.

Even though the shareholders had promised Old Master Mallory to show their support, they could not risk letting the company fall into the wrong hands after seeing the news.
