Chapter 19 Reelecting the Chairman


    It was good that Lena was here. It saved Mnie the trouble of looking for her.


    Mnie walked past the reporters and overheard their questions.


    “Lena, Mnie Jones is your manager and your cousin. Why is shepeting with you for a spot at the International Socialites


    G? Are you not getting along?”


    “How was she selected by the judges? Is there some foul y involved?”


    Lena, with an innocent expression, eximed, “No way! It must be a misunderstanding. Mnie isn’t like that. She’s a capable


    person with great ideas. Over the past two years, she’s the one who’s sealed all of my business deals. She even manages things


    in Jones Enterprise. She’s amazing.”


    “Are you saying Mnie Jones has the support of Jones Enterprise and knows how to get things done behind the scenes?” The


    reporters interpreted Lena’s implications perfectly.


    Lena covered her mouth with her hand, pretending to have made a slip of the tongue. Her assistant stepped in to protect her,


    saying.” Please stop asking. Lena is very naive when ites to business matters.”


    Mnie continued walking past the crowd, a hint of mockery on her lips. What a show Lena was putting on!


    She did not have time to bother with Lena’s insinuations. Let Lena dance happily a little longer. Mnie was eager to see how


    Lena would continue her innocent act when her misdeeds were exposed to the entire Harbor City.


    Mnie took the elevator directly to the meeting room on the top floor.


    As she turned the corner, she heard her uncle, Daniel Jones, shouting discontentedly, “We can’t even handle women’s perfume


    property. and now we want to dive into men’s perfume? It’s absurd! Whose ridiculous proposal is this?”


    “That would be me.”


    Mnie pushed the door open, the crisp sound of her cane against the floor announcing her arrival. Mr. Lincoln hurried over to


    wee


    her and pulled out a chair for her. Mnie nodded to her mother.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Seeing Mnie''s involvement, Daniel was visibly frustrated. “Do you have any idea where thepany stands right now? Must


    you destroy the legacy left by your father? | propose we reelect the chairman!”


    In response, several factions loyal to Daniel echoed his sentiments.


    “Why?” Mnie asked.


    “Your mother has been upying the chairman’s position without bringing about proper results. This is the voice of the board!”


    Daniel


    Jones continued to set the tone.


    Mnie sneered. “And are you any more capable, Uncle Daniel? Why don’t you share your aplishments?”


    oo


    Daniel Jones was momentarily speechless.


    However, he had a hidden agenda for this meeting. Fearing Mnie would disrupt things, he chose to take a more aggressive


    stance.” Anyway, all the directors are here today! Let''s vote right now. Those in favor of reelecting the chairman, raise your


    hands!”


    Daniel was the first to raise his hand.


    As the chairman, Eliza Jones held no voting power. Daniel Jones smugly looked across the table. Many of his loyal supporters


    raised their hands, collectively owning more than half of the shares.


    He adjusted his tie, his mind began daydreaming about his reign as chairman. “See, this is the voice of the majority!”


    “| disagree.”


    Mnie calmly raised her gaze. “Without my agreement, your shares don’t add up to a majority.”

    Daniel''s expression shifted from one of triumph to anger. “Are you a shareholder? What right do you have to disagree? It’s


    impossible not


    to have a majority!”


    He grinned at the group’s corporatewyer, instructing. “Tell her, Mr. Reynolds! Have her ept reality!”
