Chapter 161


    Jacqueline felt that the atmosphere was not right when she stepped into the house.


    When she walked into the living room and saw Shelly''s eyes as red and swollen as walnuts, she


    quickly asked, "What, what happened?" Her daughter, whom she had loved since she was little, was


    crying like this, so she was naturally distressed.


    Shelly sobbed while giving a short ount of what happened.


    After hearing this, Jacqueline was sad and angry and scolded, "You are really stupid. Even if you don''t


    like Joyce, you can''t sacrifice the interests of the group! You didn''t even ask me about such a big


    matter! I certainly won’t allow you to do such a stupid thing either."


    "Auntie, it has been announced on thepany forum that the design that Shelly took was a fake one,


    and this time it didn''t affect the group''s interests." Charlotte had been presentter, she was clear about


    the whole thing, andter she saw Casey''s affirmation posted on thepany forum.


    "Fortunately, you didn''t cause big trouble. If there were serious consequences, those people could


    impeach me in the board meeting, do you know that? I don''t have many shares, and if I am impeached


    by the shareholders, there will be no ce for me in the group." Jacqueline frowned and said, "Next


    time, don''t do such a stupid thing. No, there won’t be a next time!"


    "I called Luther before I got back and he was going to Mufron on a business trip for a few days. It''s a


    good thing he''s not going back to the Warner family these days. If he told Stephanie, it would be a huge


    disadvantage for us. You should stay home these days until things settle down." Jacqueline said with

    resentment.


    "Grandma is biased … Urgh…" Shelly cried out again.


    "Bear with me. Pray that your grandmother doesn''t know about this. Didn''t you hear what Mr. Baldwin


    saidst time? Until thest moment, your grandmother is allowed to amend the will. Aren''t you afraid


    that you will be deprived of your share?" Jacqueline nudged Shelly.


    "Right, Mom, what about it? I don''t want to lose my shares! I''ve been fired from the project team today,


    I must get my shares to join the board of directorster!" Shelly wiped a handful of tears from her eyes


    and started to get anxious. She had gotten into trouble disregarding all the consequences.


    "How do I know she won''t know!" Jacqueline said, "That''s why I say you should think twice before you


    do anything! What time is it now, can''t you just wait? How many days does your grandmother have to


    live? Can''t wait a few days?"


    Shelly shouted, "Grandma looks even bettertely! I just went to visit her the day before yesterday!"


    "What?" Jacqueline was surprised, "Could it be the new Mufron immune cell targeting drug that the


    doctor finally prescribed? If that''s the case, the olddy could live another year and a half. Damn, I was


    told to prepare for the funeral and then the new drug took effect. The old woman is not going to die I


    am afraid." Jacqueline muttered in a low voice, thinking to herself that this was not a good sign.


    Geez, there was just not an end to the whole thing. How long did she have to stay up before she got on


    the board!


    Mother and daughter conversed for a long while before they remembered that they were not the only


    two in the living room.


    Charlotte was still around.


    The two of them dared to discuss the matter of their own property inheritance and shares in front of an


    outsider.


    Jacqueline looked awkwardly at Charlotte, "Charlotte, we just actually…”


    "Auntie, don''t worry. I won''t say anything." Charlotte immediately understood what she meant and


    replied decently, "Besides, you will be my mother-inw soon, and I will try my best to help you no


    matter what happens."
