Goodbye, My Love

“Ladies and gentlemen, we all make up the Bryant Group, and it’s up to us to safeguard the company. Having seen the recent events, we can’t just sit back and do nothing.

Concerning the newly appointed CEO, Marina Bryant, everyone has witnessed what she has done. She is incapable of Leading the company to a brighter future. I, on the other hand, hold a 36% stake, even higher than the former majority shareholder, Liza Bryant. I’m currently the biggest shareholder and I put myself forward to take over the position of CEO in the company.”

Then he paused and Looked around, waiting for his applause. Suddenly the door was shoved open and several bodyguards walked in with an elderly woman with gray hair and a gloomy aura.

Although Liza had left the limelight for years, her prestige still commanded respect. Her entrance silenced the meeting room. She walked in with a timid-Looking Marina and Laura.

Jefferson’s eyes widened in shock for a second the moment he saw Liza, but then he quickly narrowed them again and put on a fake warm smile and greeted her politely, “Madam, you are quite elderly now, why would you stress yourself in attending the shareholders’ meeting?”

Liza’s eyes flickered over him disdainfully then she snorted. “You’ve been in the Bryant Group since the days my son was still here,

Jefferson, and I always respected you. How come you’ve become so ambitious now and are trying to snatch my granddaughter’s seat for yourself?”

Jefferson’s smile faded. No Longer bothering to conceal his intentions, he ridiculed, “We backed Winifred in establishing the company because he was capable of doing so. Now, the Bryant family has chosen an unfit successor named Marco to become the CEO, ignoring the wisdom and experience of us elders. We aren’t allowed to voice our opinions, huh?”

Liza’s expression turned grim as Jefferson went on, his voice dripping disdain.

“still, Marco managed to bring prosperity to the Bryant Group so I brushed over it. But now, allowing someone Like Marina, who’s more a liability than an asset to take over the group? Is your intention to destroy the Bryant Group?” Jefferson sighed, feigning care for the company. “It is not my intention to have a fallout with you, madam.

However, you’ve seen all the messes Marina has made since becoming CEO.

ALL I’m doing is for the sake of the company. Would you want to watch it get destroyed under her leadership?”

Marina turned red with anger behind Liza. She was about to retort but was quickly shut down by a sharp glance from Liza. She then quietly bent her head in defeat.

After subduing Marina, Liza spoke, her tone dripping with arrogance.

“The company is called the Bryant Group because it belongs to the

Bryant family, Jefferson. You know exactly what you’re planning. You don’t need to fake this righteous act.”

Jefferson flashed her another fake smile. “Why don’t we ask the shareholders if they’d be willing to accept an incompetent waste as the

CEO? I am not here to seek your opinion, madam. I speak based on my shares. Removing Marina is not out of the question.”

Liza sneered, “Based on your shares, you say? Unfortunately, Marina transferred 10% of her shares to me. Holding 45% of the shares, I remain the largest shareholder. It remains up to me to decide who becomes the Bryant Group’s CEO, and it has nothing to do with an outsider such like you.”

“What?” Jefferson paled, and his eyes widened as he stared at Liza in shocked disbelief. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He didn’t anticipate this move! And he knew that even if he tried to gather the scattered shares of the remaining shareholders, he still wouldn’t surpass Liza’s. He had failed!

A while passed with Jefferson stuck with a grim expression on his face, then finally he turned to Liza and said harshly, “You’re in power.

Fine, I won’t touch the CEO position. However, I remain the second-Largest shareholder. That much remains true. Therefore, I expect an explanation for the significant drop in the stock prices of the
