Chapter 176 Taking Over the Management Rights

Sophie answered Sydney, "President Dayton and Director Williams aren't here yet."

"Okay." Sydney nodded.

After a short while, the door of the conference room opened and Stephen Dayton walked in with Director Williams.

Sydney met Stephen's eyes. "President Dayton, you're late."

Stephen nonchalantly pulled a chair and sat down." Something came up. You're not angry with me, are you?"

Sydney smiled. "Of course, not."

She knew that Stephen was late on purpose. He wanted to show his authority to her.

Sydney decided to just let him be for now since the news she was going to announce would probably get him upset later.

"Since everyone is here, then we'll start the meeting now. The last time..."

Before Sydney could finish her sentence, Stephen interrupted her. "Today is the day Flint Corporation announced their final decision on the main cooperation partner. Tell us about the results."

"Exactly, Vice President Raines. Tell us, did you get it? " another senior director on Stephen's side asked.

Sydney frowned.

A senior director who supported Sydney slammed his hand against the table. "Enough. The meeting has just started. This matter can wait."

"Why wait? The result is the only thing that concerns us right now," someone else replied.

Stephen looked at Sydney mockingly. "Since everyone is curious, why not announce the result first?"

"I agree. Tell us!" someone else said.

The senior director who supported Sydney earlier was so angry that his face was flushed red. "You're going too far."

"Director Lawson, it's fine. Since everyone wants to know, I'll tell them. I’ll have to announce this sooner or later in today's meeting." Sydney glanced at Stephen with cold eyes.

Since Stephen could not wait to hand half of his management rights to her, then so be it.

Thinking about that, the corners of Sydney's lips turned into a smile.

When Stephen saw her smile, his heart sank. He felt a sudden sense of crisis, and the mocking expression he had earlier disappeared.

With her expression, did she get the position as the main cooperation partner?

No. Impossible. She was pretending for sure. She must be dying inside right now.

Stephen was secretly in denial. However, his clenched fists exposed how nervous he was on the inside.

Sydney saw through him and sneered. She said, "I got the position as the main cooperation partner."

Everyone was flabbergasted.

Those who supported her and those who supported Stephen were all in shock, and they could not believe their ears.

She got the position as the main cooperative partner?

"Vice President Raines, are you for real?" Director Lawson was so excited that he was trembling.

Sydney nodded. "It's true."

"That's great!" Director Lawson had joy written all over his face.

Those who supported Sydney were all in triumph.

Everyone knew what new energy technology meant -revolution.

Once this new technology matured in the market, it could replace the kinetic energy that the entire world was currently using.

Skylight Corporation would then be the pioneer in the development of this technology. The rise of their From NôvelDrama.Org.

development could already be foreseen.

In contrast to Sydney's side who was already in jubilation, the people on Stephen's side all had gloomy expressions all over their faces. It was as though they had eaten a fly by accident.

Especially Stephen.

He slammed the table and his expression was uglier than ever. "Impossible! How is it possible for you to get the position?"

The entire conference room became silent all of a sudden.

Sydney looked at him calmly and questioned him in return, "Why is it impossible?"

"I know your capabilities well enough. I don't have confidence in winning the project myself, so how can someone who has no idea about new energy technology succeed?" Stephen mocked.

Sydney smiled. "Yet, someone who has no idea about new energy technology like me won the project. What can you do, President Dayton?"

"You..." Stephen was choked by her words.

He suddenly thought about something and narrowed his eyes. The way he looked at Sydney became more contemptuous. "You must've seduced President Flint and got this project through the backdoor, didn't you?"

Sydney's face darkened and she stood up. "President Dayton, please watch your mouth. I managed to get a

position as the main cooperation partner because of my capabilities. It has nothing to do with Julien Flint. Since you say that I seduced him, do you have any evidence? Everyone in Port City knows that Julien Flint loves Lyra Madden, and divorced me for her. Do you think I can seduce him?"

"Exactly, President Dayton. You need evidence before you speak. You can't just make speculations like that without proof, or you might seem narrow-minded and that you deliberately belittle Ms. Raines because you refused to acknowledge her," Director Lawson said in contempt as he threw Stephan a glance.

Director Lawson disliked Stephen from the very beginning.

Now that he had a chance to step on him, of course, he would seize the opportunity.

"Fine. You're right. I'll never win this conversation," Stephen said and sat down angrily.

Sydney looked at him with indifference. "Since President Dayton has nothing else to say, please fulfill your promise."

"What promise?" Stephen was stunned.

Sydney stretched out her hand, and Sophie passed a document to her.

After Sydney took it, she pushed the document to Stephen. "In the last meeting, I made a bet with President Dayton. If I can get the position as one of the cooperation partners, then you’ll give me half of

Skylight Corporation's management rights. Now that I've won, please fulfill your promise, President Dayton."

Sydney smiled at him.

"..." Stephen's mouth twitched, and he clenched his fists.

Director Williams, who was on Stephen's right, lowered his head.

His guess was right.

Since Vice President Raines held a meeting so eagerly, it was definite that she did not lose the bet. She just could not wait to get the management rights from President Dayton. He tried to advise President Dayton, yet his arrogant self refused to even consider the possibility that Sydney had won. Look at how embarrassed he was now.

"Girl..." Stephen forced a smile and was about to say something.

Sydney kept her smile as she interrupted him." President Dayton, you won't go against your words, will you? Even if you do, it's no use. Everyone present today heard you in the last meeting, and I have the recording as well. President Dayton, do you want to hear what you said back then?"

She lifted her phone and waved it at him.

Stephen's expression twisted horribly. "No need. I'll admit it!"

There were so many witnesses back then when the bet was made. There was no way he could escape from it.

If he denied it, then many of them would start wondering if they should still support him or not. He could only give in now, and try to find another opportunity in the future to get the management rights back from her.

"Since President Dayton has no issues about this, please put your signature here." Sydney smiled as she handed him a pen.

Stephen took it with his face cold. He opened the document and put down his signature.

When Sydney saw that, she felt a heavy sense of relief in her heart.

When Stephen put his signature, she already had half the management rights, and her position as vice president would also be more secured.

The next step would be to get the remaining half of the management rights from Stephen. Once she did that, she could kick Stephen out of Skylight Corporation.

When the meeting ended, Sydney returned to her office and called Luke to tell him about the good news.

At the same time, at Flint Corporation.

Zach walked into the president's office. "President Flint, I found something."

Julien looked up from his computer. "Yes?" "Based on the publicity department, Brandon Maddon released the statement to look for his eldest daughter," Zach said.
