The speakers were all entrepreneurs who had purchased shares in Russell Enterprises.


    Sophie had long been aware of their true colors; these old men would never allow a woman to wield absolute power.


    "Karter and Mr. Zheng, the two shareholders, it seems that the shares you both hold aren''t that significant, right? Is there anyone else who wishes to see me step down? Or if there''s any dissatisfaction with me, feel free to speak up." Sophie leaned back in her office chair, and many in the meeting room dared not speak. If this election could be neutral, they would rather abstain.


    But that was not an option.


    "If there are no objections, then let''s begin the voting. I''m quite curious to see how many of you actually want me gone."


    Sophie''szy attitude seemed to show she hardly cared about the oue of the election.


    "Think carefully before you speak, it could save us all a lot of trouble."


    The speaker was not Sophie, but Colby.


    The sound of a bullet being chambered could be clearly heard by the shareholders around.


    The pressure in the meeting room dropped instantly by ten degrees.


    Colby, known more for his brawn than his brains, wouldn''t have hesitated to barge in with his men if it weren''t for the contributions these people had once made to S Corporation.


    He had no interest in their prattle.


    "Is Mr. Colby threatening everyone?" Jason said coolly, "This election is supposed to be a fairpetition. I''m not keen on using force either, but to ensure everyone''s safety, I''ve taken some precautions. Mr. Colby, your men outside have been subdued by us, and I presume neither of you would want your people to meet a gruesome end."


    As he spoke, Jason casually toyed with a blood-stained family crest.


    Sophie immediately recognized it as the Minton family crest, always carried by Odie.


    This confirmed that Odie had indeed been taken by The Silent Shadows.


    Sophie nearly lost herposure, but at that moment, one of the shareholders spoke up:


    "I vote for Ms. Sophie. After all, she has led us to where we are today. If it weren''t for Ms. Sophie, how could we have our movie star, Reece? Reece''s ingratitude shows his true character. Thepany must not fall into the hands of someone like him."


    The shareholder cast his vote for Sophie.


    The other two Russell Enterprises shareholders also raised their hands to vote for Sophie.


    However, the other corporate shareholders didn''t n to let Sophie continue in her position. They cast their votes for Reece one after another.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    The atmosphere in the room was tense.


    All eyes were on one person-a former shareholder of Russell Enterprises.


    Sophie was confident in her own Russell family members, so she had calcted the oue on her way here.


    As long as all the Russell family members stood by her side.


    Then she could retain her position.


    But the other party hesitated for a


    long time and couldn''t make a choice Sweating profusely, he nced at Sophie, wanting to say something but swallowed his words instead.


    Anxious, one of the shareholders said, "Lee! We''ve been with the Russell family for so many years, what are you hesitating for?" "Yeah, Lee, didn''t we agree on this before we came? You can''t back out now."


    Hearing this, Mr. Lee''s expression became extremely troubled. Almost immediately, he stood up and knelt


    on the ground before Sophie, Bowing his head, "Miss, I''m sorry, Miss!"
