Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 658

Bianca remained calm as the discussion went on.

She tapped the desk with a pen at random intervals, saying in an indifferent tone, "Are you done? If you’re done, please take a look at the e-invite for the meeting."

"How ridiculous! A woman who doesn’t respect the time of others wants to be an acting CEO?" Jenson raised his voice and said in an unforgiving tone. As he said that, he checked his email.

When he saw that the meeting time was 10:06 a.m., he was stunned. He then glanced at Bianca and thought, ‘So what?’

When Luke was around, they would always start the meeting at 10:00 a.m. sharp. They were all used to the meeting time.

The former CEO was very punctual and spoke out against people who were late.

Previously, a shareholder took advantage of his long-standing relationship with Luke and was late for a meeting for a few minutes. As a result, Luke kicked him out. Old Master Crawford had tried to talk him out of it but it did not work.

Now, the new acting CEO had changed the meeting time to 10:06 a.m. What the hell was this woman doing?

Everyone stared at Bianca.

Bianca looked at everyone with a smile, saying, "I’m sure everyone is aware that the meeting is supposed to start at 10:06 a.m. When I came in, it was 10:05 a.m. I was not late. Your rant has taken more than five minutes. Everyone, was I late?"

"Of course not!" Louis Crawford was the first to speak, "Ms. Rayne was one minute early!"

Another young shareholder who grew the company with Luke also nodded his head and said, "Ms. Rayne wasn’t late. There was just a misunderstanding over the meeting time."

Jenson snorted and continued criticizing Bianca, "Mr. Crawford was always ten minutes early for every meeting."

Mavis Laviere was overjoyed that Bianca was in trouble.

She was also one of the company's shareholders. Although she owned only six percent of the shares, the value of that six percent was more than enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary family of four for more than ten lifetimes. That was why she was in attendance for today’s shareholders meeting.

Bianca sat in the chairperson seat and looked at Jenson who was still trying to make things difficult for her. Her soft gaze sharpened as she said, "Mr. Zook, if I'm late, I’ll admit to it. However, I’ve proven that I was on time today so I’m not sure what the fuss is about? The 10:00 a.m. meeting was my husband’s practice, not mine. The time of the meeting may change at any time now, so you have to get used to my rules!"

A shareholder sneered and said disdainfully, "Do you think you’re our CEO because you’re sitting in that chair?"

Another shareholder also sarcastically said, "Women... They have always been indecisive and have no courage to take chances. I’ll be thanking God if our company isn’t ruined in your hands."

"Mr. Crawford transferred all his shares to her before his death. Now, she holds the largest percentage of shares in T Corporation. What can we do? Besides, is she really Mr. Crawford's wife? Why haven't we heard of their wedding?"

"If she’s not Mrs. Crawford, who is she to be the acting CEO? Get her out of here!"

Bianca threw some documents on the conference table. Everyone was taken aback by her sudden anger!

Bianca shouted, "Tina!"

Tina, her glamorous secretary who had been waiting on the side, understood Bianca immediately. She took out a marriage certificate from her bag, smiled, and showed it to everyone.

The two people in the photo attached to the marriage certificate were Luke and Bianca. The official date on it was stated to be three months ago.

The marriage certificate blinded the eyes of all the shareholders present.

No one dared to suspect that the marriage certificate was a fake because they knew that no one would dare to do that to Luke. He was a shark in their industry. That meant that Luke was indeed married to this woman.

Mavis clenched her fist tightly under the conference table. Her sharp eyes displayed shock, jealousy, and anger.

‘Luke got married to this woman? How could he?!’

For a while, no one knew what to say.
