Chapter 265


    Pausing for a moment, Landon continued, “I also believe that Armand won’t take a useless person as


    his wife.”


    All the other shareholders nodded in agreement. “I share Mr. Lebon’s sentiments.”


    “Then, the results of the voting this time shall prevail. Genevieve Rachford is thereby appointed as the


    CEO and will manage Central Group for the time being. Are there any objections?” Landon asked the


    shareholders around him.

    “No.”


    While Samantha persuaded many of the shareholders to side with her, Timothy and Cooper’s intrusion


    messed up her n.


    With the biggest shareholder firmly siding with Genevieve then, she could do nothing further.


    Noticing Peter’s nce at her, she shook her head with a grim expression on her face.


    Peter’s expression promptly turned all the darker. Never had he thought that such would be the result


    when he hade to Central Group and fought for so long, thinking that his promotion was a sure


    thing.


    “How dare you, Cooper? You’re really something else!” he sneered before stalking off.


    Likewise, Samantha got up from her seatnguidly and cast her gaze into the distance at Genevieve at


    the head of the table. “Do you know of the saying that it’s easy to fight for something but difficult to


    maintain it? Make sure that you safeguard your position. Don’t disappoint your husband and the


    shareholders.”


    The corners of Genevieve’s mouth curved upward, and she smiled faintly. “I’ll definitelymit your


    words to memory. I also hope that you’ll be able to safeguard your position when you return to Faulkner


    Group.”


    ring at her coldly, Samantha spun on her heels and left.


    After the two siblings left the conference room one after another, the biggest shareholder, Landon,


    turned to Genevieve.


    With a somber look, he started, “Genevieve, I only said that earlier out of respect for Armand. I’ll give


    you two months. If you don’t have anything to show for it but make Central Group’s situation worse


    instead, I’ll kick you out immediately!”


    “At that time, I’ll leave myself without needing you to kick me out,” Genevieve asserted.


    Then, she got to her feet and bowed slightly at Landon with her head lowered. “I thank you and the


    other shareholders for the help rendered.”


    If it weren’t for his help earlier, she wouldn’t be able to take office so quickly.


    “I’m entrusting Central Group to you. Do notify us if Mr. Faulkner regains consciousness.”


    Landon chatted with Genevieve for a bit before he left with the other shareholders.


    When only the three of them remained in the conference room, Timothy took the lead and pped his


    hands. “Great job! You were incredibly calm throughout it all, Genev! You didn’t even need Cooper to


    help you, fighting Peter by yourself instead. Look at his expression when he left. Tsk-tsk!”


    Looking at Genevieve from afar, Cooperplimented her as well. “You did very well just now, Genev.”


    Her expression earlier showed nary a trace of timidity, and her thought processes remained clear.


    Every single word she uttered carried weight, jabbing at Peter’s sore spot and also sessfully


    winning the shareholders’ confidence. I once thought that she knew nothing other than eating, drinking,


    and having fun, being merely a beautiful vase who would be doomed without the support of the


    Rachford family. Now, however, I’ve realized that I was wholly wrong. It wasn’t that she didn’t know


    anything, but no one taught her.


    As he recalled the various despicable deeds of his, he swallowed hard.


    Bitterness permeated him.


    “Steven had been telling me about the Faulkner family’s matters yesterday. I did my homework and


    even drafted a script inwardly, so I was naturally not afraid of him.” Genevieve smiled.


    Massaging her numb wrist, she then picked up the coffee on the table after regaining some strength


    and took a sip. Subsequently, she asked Cooper, “Armand asked you toe over to Central Group


    that day to sell his shares to you?”


    “Yeah.” Cooper nodded in affirmation.


    At that time, he found it strange that Armand was selling Central Group’s shares to him when they were


    obviously on opposing sides.


    He put the question to the man right then and there, but thetter merely said that Samantha was on


    Peter’s side, so it would be easier to deal with her if he were to buy Central Group’s shares.
