"Wait!"
Arya stood up slowly and calmly.
The two security guards were motionless as they were shocked by Arya's calmness.
Richard was unable to keep his composure. 'Is she trying to rebel against me?'
Arya handed the document to Richard with a straight face. "You might as well see if you are qualified before you chase me away."
Richard replied coldly, trembling. "I have the final say!"
He thought that Arya would never have a share.
"Why are you guys still standing there? Take her out!" Richard shouted at the two security guards in anger, regardless of his usual image.
"I think we can take a look at it. Maybe that's why she dares to be so presumptuous here." Standing up from his seat, Orlando walked to Arya, glanced at her, and then picked up the document.
Everyone was curious about what was inside, which made Arya so confident. She was even not afraid of Richard's roar.
They waited eagerly for Orlando to speak.
Orlando raised his eyebrows. He looked at her with a smile. "Good job."
Then he put down the document and resumed his seat.
Out of curiosity, someone nudged Orlando and asked in a low voice, "What's that?"
Orlando said, raising his chin, "Go and see if you're curious."
Someone couldn't help but take a look, then glanced at Richard silently.
Seized by curiosity, someone else went to check it again, and it went around soon.
One of them said politely to Arya, "Arya, why don't you sit down. After all, he's your father. We can settle it in peace."
Richard was also nervous. Based on the expressions of the shareholders, it seemed that this was something important.
He gave the secretary a look. The secretary understood and went forward to take the document. After reading it, he looked at Arya with a mixture of emotions spreading over his face.
'How could she get the shares of Xavier?'
"What's her relationship with Xavier?" He wondered.
"Mr. Harrison." The secretary bent over and handed the document to Richard.
What came into view was the equity transfer agreement.
At the end was Xavier's signature.
Richard's eyes widened in disbelief. Soon he denied it.
"This is fake. What do you think you are? How could Xavier give you these shares?"
The shares were worth 200 million.
How could he give the shares to her a woman who had just come out of prison?
Arya smiled. "If you don't believe me, you can call and ask, or I do it?"
Arya found Xavier's phone number and placed the phone in front of Richard. "You might not believe me if I call him. You might as well confirm it yourself."
If Richard had any reason to deny it before, now he had nothing to say.
But he didn't give up.
He was about to pick up his phone when the secretary stopped him and whispered in his ear, "End the meeting before talking to Miss Harrison."
Richard suddenly realized that he would lose face if he called in front of so many people.
To hide his embarrassment, he coughed softly. "The meeting's over," he said.
"No, although you are the president, this is the shareholders' meeting. New members are joining us. We should be there."
Orlando paused deliberately and looked at Richard sarcastically. "Who had the most shares was the president. Now that she has the most shares, shouldn't you resign?"
There was a sudden silence in the conference room.
Holding his breath, everyone fixed their eyes on Richard.
Arya glanced at Orlando. His words gave her a chance to pull Richard down.
Orlando raised his eyebrows with a smile.
He hated the fact that Richard was incapable of being the president. He would not miss the opportunity today.
Another shareholder thought it was time for some change.
"That was the way of electing the president..." One of the shareholders echoed.
Richard pointed at the shareholders with his trembling hand. "You guys are ungrateful. Without me, the company will not be where it is today!"
"Well... Calm down. Whoever has more shares will be the president. We just follow your words."
Orlando interrupted, "Don't say bad things."
