Chapter 397 Who Is the CEO
Instead of taking what Hry said as another provocation of hers, Amy was in bad mood and had taken
what Hry said seriously.
''It seems true that I''ve been bringing bad luck to Richard ever since I''m with him. Am I the jinx that he
has been mentioning?''
"Just disregard what Hry said, she''s such a loose-tongued, speaks without thinking, she can''t keep
anything to herself,e on, stand up," Addy said as she went to help Amy.
"Don''t help her, Addy, she''s such a mean woman that does not deserve our sympathy. Come on, let''s
go!" Hry urged Addy to go with her.
Silence filled the room once Hry left. Amy stared nkly at Richard.
"Am I a jinx to you, Richard? Have you been suffering being with me and did I make you suffer?" Amy
mumbled as she rested her face on Richard''s hand. His hand was not hot or cold, just slightly warm.
Amy''s tears dripped onto Richard''s palm, he was the only one who knew what she had been through,
yet, he could onlyy sleeping on the bed now.
"Mrs. Carter, I need to bring Mr. Carter for a check-up, could you give me a hand?" A nurse came in,
today was the day for Richard''s checkup.
"Sure." Amy went to the other side and was ready to move Richard''s body to another bed with rollers.
"Let me do it." A tall figure appeared beside Amy and he carried Richard from his bed and put him
down slowly on another one.
A man was indeed stronger in strength, he managed to transfer him to another bed without messing
with the tubes, lines, ports, or catheters attached to Richard.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
"Thank you." Amy nced at Matt. They met each other quite frequentlytely, and it was always
during times where she needed help that he appeared out of nowhere.
"It''s nothing. I''m just dropping by to visit Mr. Carter since I have something to do nearby. This is nothing
worth mentioning, I shall go now and will drop by againter." Matt left once he finished transferring
Richard.
Amy on the other hand followed the nurse to Richard''s checkup.
"All the results are normal and stable, Mr. Baker will have a meeting with medical professionals from
overseas tomorrow, discussing Mr. Carter''s condition. They will discuss solutions that could wake him
up from the vegetative state." The doctor exined to Amy once the checkup was done.
"Oh, noted." The doctor''s words lit up hope in Amy''s heart.
As usual, Matt came on time, he appeared again the moment Amy and the nurse returned to the room
pushing Richard.
He then transferred Richard back to his bed, said a fewforting words to Amy, and left straight after
that.
Amy felt weird that Matt always appeared at times she needed help. She was also a little suspicious of
his sudden concerns towards Richard.
An internal conflict arose within HD Group where people began doubting Amy''s ability to be the CEO.
She was a woman with a history of wrongdoing, they thought that she was not qualified to manage the
Someone suggested summoning William back to be the decision-maker for HD Group, giving the
reason that he was a member of the Carter family and was qualified to be the CEO.
"I rmend William, he was the only true heir of the Carter now that Richard is sick. Richard was a
capable leader but he''s sick and can''t lead the HD Group now, we should let William take over his
ce. You are a woman and your task as Richard''s wife is to take good care of him." One of the
middle-aged members of the board stood up and suggested in front of the shareholders and board
members.
"Yeah, what can a woman do with such a huge corporation? Unlike a man, a womancks the ability to
lead the group." Another person agreed with what was said.
"I heard that she was the one that put Newell Group in trouble, we doubt her ability as the CEO!"
Someone added.
Amy sat leisurely in her seat, listening to the discussion as if she was not the person they were
discussing, she looked calm.
"But she performed well and contributed a lot to Newell Group''s development too." A board member
who supported Amy defended her. The board meeting quickly turned into a debate.
Amy didn''t defend herself and at this moment, William pushed open the door and entered the room
with a few HD Group''s employees following behind.
"Hi Amy, we meet again. Bet you never thought of seeing me again in such a short time." William
smiled mockingly at Amy as he pushed his sses up.
"Hi William, I''ve predicted our meeting, guess you are the one who is surprised." Amy said to William
sarcastically.
"Hahha, I have no time for such a debate. You must be upset now knowing that you will soon be
pushed down from the acting CEO position." William said as he walked into the room. His appearance
had created minor chaos in the room.
"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. I am William Carter, the true heir of the Carter and I have
returned." William introduced himself to the room, smiling.
"There is something I would like to say, please be quiet," William said as he waved at everyone in the
room.
The room became silent and were all ears of what William had to say. As the investors, they prioritize
profit gained.
"Good day everyone, I''m William Carter, Ie back today for the sake of HD Group''s future, though I
made a minor mistake before, I''ve learned from it and vow not to repeat it. I return today intending to
further develop the group and aim to make HD Group the leader of our industry." William gave his
emotional speech, even some of his salivanded on the face of the person in front, but he didn''t notice
as he was driven by William''s speech.
"I guarantee a 2%-3% revenue increase by next year for each of you if I can be the CEO of HD Group
from now on." William made a promise to everyone.
"Awesome! Only the true heir of the Carter could make such a promise. I told you, didn''t I?" Someone
spoke, trying to influence the others.
They started to believe after hearing William''s words.
"I''m here to rescue HD Group. Please stay calm, though Richard is sick, I am here to rece him. I too
am capable of leading thepany." A round of apuse was heard once he finished his speech.
