Luca felt troubled, and she said, “Make a 1000-fold dilution for this sample and ce it in another piece
of equipment."
"Okay." Rhett thought it would be better for him to keep quiet when he noticed Luca pulling a long face.
Hepleted everything as he was told.
Luca watched the two pieces of equipment that were running. She just had to wait for the results now.
"Dr. Craw, is there anything else I can help with?" Rhett asked.
"No. That''s all," answered Luca. She noticed there were a few samples on theboratory table Rhett
had chosen just now. Then, she asked, "Are you doing some research too?"
"Yes. I''d like to try doing some research before we take up a new project." Rhett took the gloves off and
scratched the back of his head while smiling embarrassingly.
His research was not on Luca''s levelpared.
Even so, Rhett still wanted to give it a try.
"Great. Then you''ll be in theb the entire time, right?" Luca asked again. She nced at the time. The
extraordinary general meeting of Mallory Corporation would begin soon.
"Yes." Rhett nodded and waited for her next instruction.
"Please send the report to my office right away after the result is out," instructed Luca. She had
be more cautious when the previous analysis report was seen by the other researchers.
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
Still, Rhett was someone she could still trust.
"Sure. No problem." Rhett nodded and promised her.
"I''ll leave you to your work. I''m going back to the office to do some paperwork," said Luca as she left
theboratory.
Luca strode across the hallway outside theboratory. After she returned to her office, she closed the
door and turned on theputer. Then, she went to Mallory Corporation''s website and found the live
broadcast.
The live broadcast of the extraordinary general meeting happened to be broadcasting now.
Luca leaned on the office chair. A nervous feeling crept in as she stared at theputer screen.
It was as though she was Percy Mallory.
Mallory Corporation.
The conference hall was full of shareholders.
Even though the shareholders were on camera, the meeting had yet to begin. They were whispering in
each other''s ears as they had received the proposal for today''s meeting.
Although rumors had been flying around the city, it was only the moment they saw the proposal did
they truly realize Mallory Corporation was serious about bringing a new CEO on board.
However, would it be that easy to rece the CEO of apany? The shareholders were in doubt,
especially those small-time shareholders who relied on Percy for benefits. Now, thepany wanted to
rece Percy and bring in a new CEO. They started to worry about thepany''s profitability if Pierre
were to take over the CEO position.
They all knew the young master of the Mallory family, Percy, was capable enough. However, the
second young master of the Mallory family had always just been helping Percy handle some matters
that were inconvenient for him to deal with himself.
“Mr. Percy is here." The greeter of the extraordinary general meeting announced. Everyone in the
conference hall immediately fell silent and turned to look at the entrance.
The ck-colored solid wooden door was pushed open. All eyes were on Percy as he entered the
conference hall and came to his seat.
He was not the chairman of the shareholders'' meeting today, but where he was sitting was the seat
Pierre had his eyes on.
Percy had just sat down when some of the shareholders wanted toe forward to greet him, but they
heard the greeter announcing, "Mr. Rowan Mallory and Mr. Pierre are here."
Rowan Mallory was Old Master Mallory''s name.
Percy stared coldly at the entrance, watching Pierre help Old Master Mallory as they slowly walked into
the hall. There was a confident smile on the corner of Pierre''s lips.
Percy looked down and nced at the time. It was already 9:44 a.m.
Their arrival was well-timed.
The greeter led Old Master Mallory and Pierre to the seat beside Percy.
Old Master Mallory was still mad at Percy. Hence, he sat down on the chair that was one seat away
from Percy, leaving the seat between them empty. Pierre was indifferent about it. He sat right beside
Percy. "It''s been a long time, Brother," Pierre smirked. Since Madam Mallory was admitted to the
hospital, the brothers did not see each other again after they met in the hospitalst time.
Madam Mallory was in bad condition. Percy never came back home either. He wanted to fight against
the Mallory family for Nina''s sake.
"It''s all thanks to the shareholders'' meeting. Otherwise, you wouldn''t have been able to see me." Percy
gave Old Master Mallory a cold look.
Looking at Old Master Mallory from the side, he saw that the old man was pulling a long face. The
wrinkles on his face grew deeper when he wore a stern expression.
He must be very unhappy about it. After he announced that he would be holding an extraordinary
general meeting, Percy still did note back home and submit to him.
“I guess so. I''ll probably be able to see you at the shareholders'' meeting in the future. You''ll be sitting in
my seat, listening to me giving speeches on stage." There was a hint of slyness in Pierre''s eyes. After
this, Mallory Corporation would belong to him.
No matter how many shares Percy owned in Mallory Corporation, he would only be one of the
company''s shareholders next time.
Pierre swore that he would take everything from Percy bit by bit.
Thepany and his wife would eventually belong to him.
"Who knows? Are you so sure about that?" Percy looked down. His phone vibrated for a second, and
he received a text message.
[Done.] There was only one word written in the message.
Percy ced his phone into his suit pocket.
"I have confidence in everything I do. In the end, your position and your woman will belong to me,"
Pierre slowly uttered the words in Percy''s ears.
Even though Pierre said it in a soft hushed tone, Old Master Mallory heard what he said. He cleared his
throat and said, "Pierre."
"Yes, Grandpa." Pierre sat up straight.
Old Master Mallory knew how ambitious Pierre was, including how much he wanted Nina.
Old Master Mallory admitted that the two sessors of the Mallory family had been bewitched by that
witch, Nina. Fortunately, Pierre was not as blinded as Percy was to marry Nina and make her his wife.
He knew Pierre was just fooling around. He was not nning to stop Pierre either. Then, he asked, "Do
you have confidence this time?"
"Of course," Pierre replied confidently. He would definitely make Percy suffer a crushing defeat this
time.
A quarter to 10 in the morning...
The host of the shareholders'' meeting stood on the podium. He was the manager of the PR department
at Mallory Corporation. After he adjusted the microphone, he began to speak. "A very good morning to
all fellow shareholders! Thank you for taking the time to attend Mallory Corporation''s extraordinary
general meeting today. Now, let us all wee the chairman of the board and the CEO of the
company, Mr. Percy Mallory, toe forward to give his speech and chair the meeting."
Percy rose to his feet and made his way to the stage while everyone fixed their gazes on him.
Percy adjusted the height of the microphone calmly. He was not holding any scripts in his hands. He
nced at the so-called extraordinary general meeting and started to speak, "Good morning, fellow
shareholders. Ourpany has been expanding into new markets with your support. We were able to
achieve and even surpass the goals the board of directors had set for various production and business
operations of thepany every year. All our employees have poured in their efforts to bring in huge
projects. We''ve also gained some great achievements. Next, let''s get down to business. I''ll start with
discussing the first proposal of the shareholders'' meeting about dismissing Percy Mallory from his post
as CEO and nominating Pierre Mallory to be the new CEO of Mallory Corporation."
