Chapter 1776
Steven entered first with a serious expression, and then, a series of sharp and fierce sounds of high heels followed. Bella's imposing stance felt like it was stepping on everyone's throats, sending a chill down their spines.
"I've been standing at the door for a while. Since all of you are engaged in such a passionate discussion, I almost felt bad for interrupting."
Bella smiled sweetly as she stepped forward. "However, the meeting needs to start. It's not too late to continue your conversation after the meeting."
The crowd was stunned.
Their hearts thumped wildly, trying to recall whether they said anything overboard just now.
Suddenly, Bella's footsteps halted, stopping behind Cameron.
Cameron did not dare to look back, his heart at his throat.
This young woman gave off an overwhelming sense of intimidation.
However, Bella said nothing and walked to the head of the conference table, taking her seat gracefully with a calm and composed smile.
"Everyone, my father is unwell and went overseas for treatment yesterday afternoon."
Bella's furrowed brows exuded a sense of undeniable authority. "I believe everyone in the company has received my official appointment letter. Starting from the date of issuance, I will be KS Group's CEO. Besides, we have two more things to discuss today, one of which is to choose the vice chairman of the board."
The shareholders looked at each other with an ambiguous expression.
"Ms. Bella."
The shareholder who sided with Cameron finally could not help but jump. "Though you are Chairman Thompson's daughter, your experience is still not enough to qualify you as the CEO of KS. Even if you produced some results with KS World Hotel in Savrow, managing a hotel is different from managing a conglomerate. You should go through at least two years of training at the base level and be elected by our vote before assuming this position."
"Yeah... Chairman Thompson's decision seems too hasty!" The others echoed.
Seeing that the voices opposing Bella were increasing, Cameron smiled smugly, his eyes crinkling in satisfaction.
Steven saw that old geezer's smug look and wished he could rush over and kick him in the ribs.
"Oh, Mr. Rodriguez, since you said my father's decision was hasty, why don't you suggest a more cautious method?" Bella slightly swirled her leather chair.
"We think that the vice chairman, as Chairman Thompson's brother, who had served KS Group for nearly thirty years, has the right to be CEO in terms of contributions and experience."
Rodriguez was old-fashioned. Compared to Cameron, who was closer to him, he was definitely unwilling to submit to a young woman. He took the opportunity to challenge Bella. "Such an important matter should go through the board's voting. Even if Chairman Thompson has the highest authority, he shouldn't act unilaterally!"
"Oh." Bella lightly tapped her temple and swung back her chair. "Mr. Rodriguez, if you didn't remind me, I almost forgot an important matter regarding Mr. Cameron. Mr. Cameron, we must thoroughly address your embezzlement of $50 million from the KS Group fund to repay your debt from investment losses." The crowd was stunned.
Embezzlement of $50 million?! Was that not corruption?!
Although $50 million was not an astronomical figure to everyone present here, since it was brought to light, the matter could not be easily brushed off!
Cameron instantly lost his cool, jumping up furiously. "Niece! What do you mean by this?!"
Bella immediately glared at him coldly. "What? Also, you need to use formal titles in public. Calling me your niece is inappropriate in front of others."
The crowd was taken aback, not even daring to breathe heavily.
This young lady was fearless to speak her mind about anything she did not like.
Cameron was so furious that his face turned beet red. "Does my brother know about this?!"Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"He doesn't need to know. Now that I am KS Group's CEO, I still have a say in such minor matters."
