Chapter 599 The Candidate Is Madeline
Other shareholders and executives, including Stephen''s men, also looked surprised and confused.
"President Dayton, what do you mean by saying that there is another candidate for chairperson?"
“President Dayton, who else is qualified to be a candidate besides President Raines?”
Normally speaking, people who held less than 10% of thepany’s shares could not be the
chairperson.
Therefore, thepany’s second and thirdrgest shareholders had never thought about being the
chairperson of the board. After all, they couldn''t meet the qualifications.
In the conference room, Sydney was the only one who owned more than 10% of thepany''s
shares.
So where did this other candidate for chairpersone from?
Was it possible that this person also had 10 % of thepany’s shares?
But this was impossible. The shares held by all shareholders constituted all the assets of the
company, and there was no extra 10% at all.
After all, Skylight Corporation hadn''t been listed, which meant there was no need to put its shares in
the stock market, so no one could buy the corporation''s shares through the stock market.
When Stephen saw that everyone was in surprise, a shrewd expression appeared on his face.
Sydney suddenly thought of something, and she pursed her lips tightly.
Could the other candidate be Madeline?
She had just observed the expressions of all the people in the conference room, and none of them
seemed to know that there was another candidate, so the other candidate must be from outside.
Madeline just appeared in Skylight Corporation today, and maybe she was the other candidate.
At the thought of this, Sydney squinted at Stephen. "President Dayton, since you said there is
another candidate, then you can call him over. Everyone here wants to know who the candidate is,
right?"
"That''s right. We really want to know who else has the qualification to be the chairperson besides
President Raines.
Hearing their request, Stephen leisurely put down his cup. "Since everyone wants to know, then I
will call her in. Speaking of which, President Raines, you also know this person, because she is
your sister."
Hearing these words, Sydney widened her eyes and slightly clenched her hands into fists.
As expected, this candidate was Madeline.

Madeline was so capable of having Stephen as her supporter.
"President Raines'' sister?" Some executives and shareholders were puzzled. "Does President
Raines have a sister?"
Those who asked this question had only worked in Skylight Corporation for less than six years.
As for the shareholders and executives who came to thispany six years ago, they were not that
surprised. Instead, they just found this news quite unbelievable.
They all knew Sydney had a sister, who was the second daughter of former chairperson Harry. They
didn’t know her name, but they knew that she had taken away Skylight Corporation''s remaining
capital and run away with her mother six years ago. The former chairperson evenmitted suicide
by jumping off a building in desperation.
Stephen took out all his savings at that time and went to the bank to borrow a loan, which helped to
save Skylight Corporation from bankruptcy; otherwise, Skylight Corporation would have
disappeared six years ago.
Therefore, these shareholders and executives who knew Madeline found it hard to ept this.
"President Dayton, do you refer to the former chairperson Harry''s second daughter? How is she
qualified to be a candidate for chairperson?"
"President Dayton, have you forgotten what happened six years ago? She and her mother almost
bankrupted the Skylight Corporation. Such a person is not qualified to be the chairperson at all.
Besides, she has no shares in thepany."
"That’s right, President Dayton."
At this moment, the supporters of both Sydney and Stephen disagreed with Stephen''s decision of
making Madeline the candidate for chairperson.
Stephen’s subordinates also didn’t understand what was on his mind.
Stephen knew everyone was filled with anger now.
He didn''t care about the response of Sydney''s supporters, but he gave his subordinates a look and
motioned for them to calm down, indicating that he would exin to themter.
Upon understanding his meaning, his subordinates calmed down and were no longer dissatisfied
with his decision of letting Madeline participate in the chairperson election.
Seeing this, Stephen nodded with satisfaction and then waved to the assistant behind him.
The assistant nodded knowingly, walked to the conference room''s door and opened it.
Then everyone in the conference room heard a sound of high heelsing from outside, which got
closer and closer.
Sydney pursed her red lips and stared coldly at the door of the conference room. After a while,
Madeline appeared in her sight.
She wore ady''s suit and her hair was tied in a ponytail, which made her look like a tough
businesswoman. But the hint of ambition and excitement in her eyes made people have a bad
impression of her.
After Madeline walked into the office, she first nced at all the people present, especially Sydney.
After she gave a provocative and disdainful smile to Sydney, she turned to Stephen, and the smile
on her face became more sincere.
"Uncle Stephen," she called him in a sweet voice.
Sydney''s face turned colder.
Uncle Stephen?
How dare she address him like that?
Didn''t she know that Stephen was their father’s sworn enemy?
But this was understandable. Since she could poison her own father to death, she wouldn''t give a
crap about this.
"Nice to see you here, Madeline. Please sit down." Stephen smiled and then held out the chair
beside him, motioning Madeline to sit down.
People who didn''t know about their rtionship might think that Stephen was indeed her uncle.
Madeline sat down beside Stephen. Since Stephen''s position was directly opposite Sydney''s, she
could make direct eye contact with Sydney.
Madeline said with a sneer, "Sister, are you surprised that I’m back?"
Sydney frowned and didn''t respond, as if Madeline were speaking to the air.
Sydney''s reaction angered Madeline.
She would rather Sydney contradict her than ignore her like this.
Sydney treated her so indifferently as if she were rubbish.
"Don''t be so arrogant! I’ll see if you still dare to treat me with this attitudeter." Madeline sneered.
Then she quickly softened her expression and said to Stephen beside her, "Uncle Stephen, please
help me win the election."
"Don’t worry, Madeline. I will definitely win the position of chairperson for you. Even if I fail, I won''t
let her take this position."
Stephen nced at Sydney with cold eyes and said.
"Thank you so much, Uncle Stephen." Madeline was so excited that her body trembled slightly.
Stephen gave Sydney a contemptuous look. Then he quickly looked away, as if nothing had
happened. He then said, "Madeline, I just said that I have no objection to you being the chairperson,
but whether you can be the chairperson or not depends on your own capabilities. Now that you are
here, which one of you is more suitable to be the chairperson depends on the arrangements of you
and your sister."
"President Dayton, I have a question." Sydney tapped her finger on the desktop." Why do you think
Madeline is qualified topete with me for the chairperson? Is she capable of taking this job?
Does she have any shares? If she doesn''t have any of this, is it too hasty for you to let her
participate in this election? If you insist on doing this, I will think that you aren''t qualified for being a
president at all, and please don’t me me for disregarding your contributions to saving the Skylight
Corporation six years ago. I will take your shares to arbitration after bing the chairperson of
the board!"
The reason why she had endured Stephen''s misbehavior for all these years was that Stephen
saved Skylight Corporation from bankruptcy after her father’s death.
Otherwise, she would have driven Stephen out of Skylight Corporation long ago.
