Chapter 570


    The people nearby nodded, echoing her sentiments,


    Cyrus Lynchughed. “You’re too kind. I’m just an average person like the rest of us. We’re all here to


    serve thepany. Why single me out?” Even as he said this, the smugness in his eyes was obvious.


    Pearl nced at him and snorted. “What a hypocrite!”


    Cyrus’s expression darkened upon hearing Pearl’s blunt remark.


    The middle–aged woman shot Pearl a cold nce. “Miss Pearl, I understand that


    you may not be pleased with this decision, but it’s the reality we face. We’re about to hold a vote to


    finalize it. If more than half of the shares support Mister Cyrus, he will be the new president of our


    Pearl nodded thoughtfully. “I’m sure no one has more shares than me here, right?”


    Cyrus smiled amiably. “Absolutely With Mister Richard absent, you are the biggest shareholder.”


    Pearl smiled back, but she couldn’t hide her disgust at Cyrus’s confident look. “Very well, then. I will


    cast my vote for Richard, and I don’t see anything wrong with that.” She stood up. and smoothed her


    hair. “I believe that my shares,bined with Richard’s, are enough to reject your proposal.”


    Cyrus wasn’t surprised by her response. In fact, he patiently exined, “Miss Pearl, you might not be


    aware of this, but in order for a shareholder’s vote to count, they need to be physically present to cast


    their vote. Unfortunately, Mister Richard..

    Pearl’s heart skipped a beat. As expected, Cyrus was a cunning old fox. There was a trapid out for

    Pearl’s straightforwardness left Cyrus flustered. “No, we have to go through the voting process…”


    Cyrus wanted to continue, but a cold voice interrupted him from the doorway.


    “What if my thirty percent of the shares are counted?”


    Cyrus turned around in disbelief upon hearing the familiar voice. At the sight of Richard’s cold


    expression, he couldn’t help but blurt out, “Richard?”


    His anxiety caused him to forget to address Richard with the customary respect. Instead, he used


    Richard’s first name.


    He hadn’t anticipated that Richard would recover and return to thepany. He had been one step


    away from bing the legal president of Waldorf Enterprises!


    Gritting his teeth in anger, Cyrus couldn’t find any other words. He suffered in silence, mumbling,


    “You’ve finally returned, Mister Richard. We were just discussing some ideas for thepany’s


    future… We still need your guidance.”


    He was full of remorse and pain, as he had spent a few hundred thousand dors the day before to


    make everyone vote for him. But now, it has all been wasted.


    3/2


    “But I don’t think you were joking, Mister Cyrus.” Richard didn’t believe Cyrus’s words. He walked over


    to Pearl, who wisely vacated her seat for him. “I’ve recovered, and I’m able to work normally. Today isC0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.
