My mystery lover

Chapter 398 Amy's Success

Most of the shareholders in the meeting stood and clapped for William's speech. He threw a glance at

Amy arrogantly. 'She is now thrown aside by me, these shareholders lose their mind and principle when

it comes to profit.' He thought.

"May I ask the acting CEO, Amy, if you have anything to say?" William had fully sunken into the sounds

of clapping now.

"Yes, I do." Amy stood up right away.

Her action surprised William. She was a woman, she should be frightened by the current situation,

what else that she had to say?

"Gentlemen, please allow me to voice my opinion." Amy gazed at everyone around the table and their

discussion stopped, feeling curious about what she was about to say.

"It's true that I was troubled and had once put Newell Group in a difficult situation, however, those were

all because of tricks played by someone else, I believe it was clearly stated on the news in R City, I

have contributed significantly to Newell Group's development too." Amy distributed the results she

achieved in Newell Group to everyone.

"In addition, there is also documented results where William was the CEO and branch manager a few

years back for your reference." Amy distributed the information she had to the rest of the members.

Though the shareholders were not directly involved in management, they understood what the results

meant.

"Amy! Such a cunning lady! How dare you show them this information!" William was attacked

unprepared.

"We are held responsible for providing bonuses and profit for our shareholders, but it isn't something

that could be done through speech; it needs to be done by action. I guess all of you have seen the

information distributed earlier, let's start voting now. Each vote is anonymous, the one who received

higher votes will become the acting CEO of HD Group." It was Amy's style to do things straight and

quick, she disregarded William and instructed Finnley to distribute a voting ballot inside an envelope

each to the shareholders.

William didn't expect such a move from Amy, he had only prepared emotional speeches but it all

seemed weak and useless against Amy's attack.

His previous achievement was nothing compared to Amy's, he thought he could take over the position

by bribing a few of the board members but he was wrong. He was nothing compared to Amy.

"Alright, everyone had written down their vote, may I please invite a few shareholders as volunteers to

read the votes? I want this to be fair and square, hence, my assistant won't be counting the vote." Amy

let the shareholders chose a few well-respected members to count the votes.

William skipped a heartbeat with every vote read aloud and he became completely disappointed once

the shareholders finished counting the votes.

Amy had 90 percent of the votes while he had only a few.

"May I confirm that everyone voted out of their willingness and not by force? If there's no objection, I

will continue to be the acting CEO." Amy said without delayed, she didn't even make any further

explanation and went straight to the conclusion.

"There's no forcing here, the voting process and counting were transparent and each vote is a valid

vote." One of Amy's supporters said it aloud while others nodded in agreement.

"Great, I guess there will be no more amendment to the decision made by the board this time. I will

continue to be the acting CEO until Richard is fully recovered. If there are any more changes in the

future, I won't take responsibility for anything that happens to HD Group again." Despite being a

female, she had her charisma when delivering her speech and it made the few board members that

wanted to create problems remained silent.

The facts and the capabilities between Amy and William were obvious to everyone. Although William

made an attractive promise like how his brother did, but his brother died before even being able to

deliver his promise. The shareholders already lost trust in such empty promises.

William felt he was nothing but a clown in the room as the majority of the shareholders supported Amy,

regardless if she was a woman or not an heir of the Carter, 'A bunch of old trolls!' William cursed

inwardly.

The drama ended here, William went back to the hotel bitterly. Someone was already waiting for him

once he arrived at the entrance.

"Are you upset, William? Are you embarrassed that you failed to snatch the position as acting CEO?"

The man said to him.

William threw a glance at the man. He had been hiding overseas all this while and didn't know much

about what's happening around here. He knew Matt as a branch manager, so he looked down on him.

"You have such a filthy mouth." William rolled his eyes at Matt as he continued his journey up to his

room.

"Don't you want to win? Are you happy that you are defeated by a woman?" Matt asked, he was not

angry at all.

"That's none of your business, Mr. Wilson. Are you free? Go find entertainment elsewhere, why are you

here?" William was already in bad mood, seeing Matt who knew everything enraged him even more, he

felt humiliated.

"Let's have a drink, I'll be waiting at the cafe. Do come if you want to win, else, just forget about it." Matt

told his intention directly and then headed towards the cafe.

William looked at Matt's back as he walked away. 'What strategy could an insignificant branch manager

have? Such a liar.' William thought.

William went straight back to his room but changed his mind the moment he stepped in the room.

'Sometimes an insignificant character could provide a significant solution. Matt could be useful to me

now. There's no harm listening to what he has to say, let's go listen and see.' He thought.

He then closed the door and headed back to the elevator to meet Matt who was waiting at the cafe.

William arrived at the private room in the cafe Matt told him earlier and knocked on the door. "Please

come in," Matt said from inside. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

William entered the room and saw Matt looking at him strangely.

"I'm here to listen to what you have to say, it's not definite that I will accept your suggestion," William

said as he walked over and sat opposite Matt.
