Ch. 421..425: Stay Around You Now And Forever (Hunter Jackson) Chapter 421-425
Chapter 421: If I Die, You Won’t Live, Either!Emily stared at the woman standing in front of her.
Wendy had snatched her phone and turned it off, then she casually threw it in an unknown corner.
"Emily, you are really stupid. Are you still expecting Hunter to save you now?"
Wendy smiled coldly and looked down on Emily. She disdained her.
"You said that you have taken your hair and the old man's hair for a DNA test, right?"
Emily still hadn't figured it out? What an idiot!
"Hunter was the one who cheated you. Don't you know that?"
The man Emily longed for was not sincere to her at all!
"He doesn't want you-a trash woman—to be the granddaughter of Patriarch Gale, because you are useless to him!"
Emily was so stupid that there was simply no way to save her from stupidity!
Emily met Wendy's gaze. The look on Emily's face was stubborn, and fearless. "Where is my grandfather?" she asked calmly.
"You finally admit that he is your grandfather?" Had the show begun? Would Emily start to cry for Patriarch Gale now?
"Wendy, you are not a Gale. If you ask Grandpa to sign a share transfer for you, you will commit a crime of fraud!"
"Is that so?" Wendy didn't take it seriously at all.
Joseph had gone to the high seas to look for Patriarch Gale, and Sasha was also with Patriarch Gale. Perhaps they had already died in the high seas.
Who would prove that she was not Patriarch Gale's granddaughter? Joseph would not come back so easily until he found Patriarch Gale.
There was only Lottie left in the Gale Group.
On Monday, she would convene the board of directors and remove Lottie from her post. By doing so, the Gale Group would be hers completely.
"Wendy, you're breaking the law!"
Emily clenched her palm tightly and glared at her, "When Grandpa comes back, you must..."
"Then tell me, where is he? Can he really come back?"
These words made Emily tremble with fear.
Before she came here, she had already thought that Grandpa might still be in the high seas.
But she didn't dare to take any risks. Although the chance was really small, what if her grandfather was really under Wendy's control?
Now, hearing what Wendy said, Emily was almost certain that Grandpa was not with Wendy.
"Wendy, why on earth did you ask me to come here?"
Her hand landed on her waist in the night.
No one noticed such a subtle movement.
Moreover, Wendy had a few tough guys on her side, so she was quite off her guard. She didn't care what Emily was doing.
"We are sisters. Do we need ant reason to meet?"
She took a step forward and looked at Emily, who was alone and helpless.
Wendy laughed wantonly, like a demon in the night.
A detestable demon!
"Cut the crap. If there's nothing else, I'll go. I don't have time for this!"
Emily turned around and wanted to walk away, but the two men with Wendy immediately stepped forward and blocked her way.
Emily was forced to retreat. Behind her, Wendy was still laughing impudently. Her laughter was especially scary this time of the day!
"You came here so foolishly. Do you still want to leave unscathed? You're really stupid!"
Wendy crossed her arms, showing the posture of a victor.
"Such a stupid woman! Why is Hunter not sick of you?! Inconceivable!"
"You asked me to come here, so that you can insult me?" Emily's hand was still on her waist.
It looked like she was afraid of the people around her and that she was trying to protect herself.
But in Wendy's eyes, Emily's action was a joke.
Could Emily protect herself with just her hands?
"Of course, I don't want just to humiliate you with words. I..."
She paused, pointed at Emily and sneered, "I want them to humiliate you with their actions!"
Emily knew that once she came here, she would definitely end up like this!
Wendy even had the guts to plot against the Gale family. Why would she pity a woman like Emily?
With a panicked expression on her face, Emily turned around to look at the men beside Wendy. She retreated again.
"What do you want? Hey, stay still!"
The men stared at Emily's fully developed shape with obvious lust in their eyes.
Seeing that Emily was already in a panic, they couldn't control their most primitive impulse anymore.
This little Emily was even more beautiful than Wendy. They could tell at a glance that she was delicious!
Wendy really hated the way these men look at Emily.
It was as if they had seen a goddess!
Was this bitch so tempting?
Wendy suppressed her displeasure and took out her phone.
"Guess what I want to do?" She lowered her head and turned on the camera.
"Aren't you good-looking? Aren't you sexy? You want men, right?"
Young Master Hunter and Young Master Henry were both noble people. Why would Emily have the guts to seduce them?
"If they see your video on the Internet, what will they think of you?"
Wendy sneered. Emily was still retreating towards her.
Without the slightest bit of precaution, Wendy was pleasantly surprised by Emily's frightened appearance.
"Emily, just enjoy yourself. These men will definitely satisfy... You!"
The trembling girl actually turned around and rushed to Wendy in a second.
Under the moonlight, Wendy saw a silver light. Suddenly, a sharp knife pressed down on her neck.
Emily put forth her strength. Wendy felt a sharp pain in her neck! She was bleeding!
"Emily, what are you doing? Don't touch me! Let go of me!"
Wendy screamed in fright. Her fingers loosened, and her phone fell to the ground.
With a banging sound, the scene became even more frightening!
"Emily, you have to pay for killing me. I don't believe you have the guts to touch
me!"
"If you don't believe me, just wait for the consequences!"
Emily's eyes sank as she put forth her strength again.
Wendy felt that the pain in her neck was instantly magnified. Something slipped
down her neck. It was blood!
"No! Don't do this! Emily, calm down! Don't kill me!"
The fear of death made her panic like a clown. She was so proud, but she had to beg Emily for mercy now.
Emily glared at the men who wanted to get close to her and ordered in a low voice, "Don't come over. If you do, I'll kill her. You won't get paid! Nothing!" The men paused and looked at the two girls, not knowing if they should go over. Emily tightened her grip again. Wendy panicked so much that she immediately let out a cry, "Don't come over! Don't come over! Go away! Go away!"
She wanted to see Emily, but there was no way to see her!
She could only raise her hands. Panic and pain filled her heart as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Emily, I'll let you go. I'll let you go now! Don't hurt me. If I die, you won't live, either!"noveldrama
Chapter 422: Were They in Cahoots?
"Tell them to go away!" Emily shouted.
For the sake of her own life, Wendy could only do as Emily said, "Go away! All of you, go away! No one is allowed to come over!"
Seeing this, those men and the bodyguards could only retreat one after another.
Even though they weren't Wendy's people, they couldn't let anything happen to her right now. She was still useful.
If anything happened to her, their plan would be very difficult to implement afterwards.
Emily hijacked Wendy and walked in the direction of her car.
For the sake of Wendy's safety, those men could only follow from afar. They didn't have the guts to come near Emily.
Finally, Emily returned to her car.
Just as she was about to open the door, Wendy suddenly sank her face. She swung her elbow towards Emily's belly.
Seeing this, Emily panicked. She subconsciously reached out to block Wendy's elbow.
She was already pregnant. She couldn't let anyone hurt her child!
Emily reacted fast. Otherwise, Wendy's heavy blow would have landed on her belly.
With a "bang", the knife in Emily's hand landed on the ground.
Wendy, taking the chance, hurriedly fled.
"Capture her! Kill her!" Seeing that Emily have opened the car door, Wendy
roared, “Whoever kills her will get a million!"
One million! That was a large sum of money!
Money talks. A few men immediately got on the car and chased after Emily, who had just stepped on the accelerator.
Emily was not excellent at driving. After all, she had not received any professional training.
Very quickly, she could see the two cars clearly in the rear-view mirrors.
She was heading towards an abandoned dock. In the early hours of the morning, there would be no cars passing by.
In other words, no one would help her at this time. She could only rely on herself!
Emily tightly gripped the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator.
The luxury car from the Gale family had excellent performance.
Those men behind Emily were simply unable to catch up with her.
Emily looked through the rearview mirror and saw that those men were thrown far away. She breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned around and looked ahead. Suddenly, a beam of light shone over!
A car came across the road!
Emily was shocked. In fact, the two cars could not collide on their own roads. However, Emily was shocked. She panicked as she moved the steering wheel.
After realizing that she had made a mistake, she quickly turned the steering wheel back.
She also stepped on the brakes.
With a squeak, the car stopped. Her head bumped into the steering wheel.
When the other cars stopped beside her, the drivers were dumbfounded.
Was it true that women could not drive at all?
...
"Hunter, what exactly are you bringing me here for?"
The old man walking behind Hunter was exactly Sawyer, who had made everyone anxious lately.
It had been two days since he came to the island. Today was Monday.
Time passed quickly!
He wanted to go back, but Hunter was only willing to help him here. Hunter didn't mention a bit about when he was going to send him back.
As for Sawyer, his phone was gone, and he couldn't use any communication equipment, so he couldn't contact anyone at all!
He signed the share transfer letter. What exactly was Wendy doing with the letter now?
Sawyer didn't ask Hunter whether he and Wendy were in cahoots or not.
Even if he asked, there were chances that Hunter would lie to him. If Hunter chose to lie, what was the point of asking him?
However, as long as he was acknowledged, Sawyer felt that it was unlikely that Hunter and Wendy would work together.
However, what did Hunter mean by letting him stay here all the time?
"Hunter..."
"More than 40 years ago, did you know a girl called Maia?"
"What... did you say?"
Maia! The name frightened Sawyer. Suddenly, his legs went limp. He almost lost his balance.
Hunter stared at Sawyer's expression. Indeed, there was no need to ask this question anymore.
"Maybe you also know that Maia was my grandfather's first wife. She was my grandmother, the last Mrs. Jackson."
"Hunter, what exactly do you want to say?"
Sawyer subconsciously took two steps back. He became alert.
"I found a picture of you. The day before my grandmother's accident, you--"
Hunter, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and locked his cold gaze on Sawyer's face.
"At that time, you were with her. Could you please tell me what you did to my grandmother? Why were you with her when the accident happened?"
"I..."
Hunter was quite patient. He was waiting for Sawyer's answer.
However, in the end, Patriarch Gale remained silent.
Finally, Hunter turned around and walked to the other side of the beach.
Sawyer caught up with him and said anxiously, "Hunter, no matter what happened back then, it was all on me. Please have mercy towards the Gales.
This matter has nothing to do with my daughter or my granddaughter, Hunter...." "But it has a lot to do with the younger generation of the Jackson family." Hunter stopped, but he did not look back at Sawyer.
"Some of them lost their mothers, and some of them lost their grandmothers at birth."
He might not have any feelings for Matriarch Jackson, but after all, she was his grandmother!
They were bound by blood!
"Hunter, please show mercy to my family..."
"Keep these words for the Jacksons."
Hunter left for real this time. The speedboat was on the beach. Sawyer could also
leave if he wanted.
However, no one knew where this place was.
Moreover, Sawyer couldn't sail. He didn't have the guts to operate these
speedboats any more.
Meanwhile, his physical condition seemed to be getting worse and worse ...
He coughed against the sea breeze.
On the beach ahead, Sasha was searching everywhere.noveldrama
Seeing Sawyer alone at the seaside, Sasha's heart tightened and she quickly
walked over.
"Dad, why are you here alone? Where's Hunter? Is he still here?"
"No. He's gone." Sawyer looked in the direction of the sea.
Sasha followed his gaze. Sure enough, she could see a speedboat rapidly moving away on the sea.
He was gone. What about them?
"Dad, was he with you just now? What did he say? Why did he save us and leave us here?"
There was not only a house, but also everything they needed in the kitchen here.
Even if they lived here for a month and a half, they wouldn't starve to death!
However, why did Hunter leave them here?
Today was Monday. Wendy had already got the share transfer letter...
"Could it be that Hunter is with Wendy?"☐☐☐
Chapter 423: Nothing Matters Anymore
Wendy would definitely do something today with the share transfer in her hand.
Didn't Hunter try to prevent them from stopping Wendy by not sending them back in time?
In addition, Wendy already had a close relationship with Hunter before!
"Dad, could it be that the person behind Wendy is Hunter?"
If it weren't for a powerful person offering advice behind the scenes, Wendy wouldn't have been able to do this alone with her modest background.
There must be someone behind her.
However, they didn't know who that person was now.
"Hunter ..."
Sawyer looked at the sea with mixed feelings.
After a while, he said, "He doesn't look like a person who would seek benefits by this means."
"Dad, you should know that cats hide their claws. People can't be judged by their exterior!"
Sasha also didn't want to admit that such an outstanding man would collude with
a despicable and shameless person like Wendy.noveldrama
But, if not so, why would he send them here?
Hunter indeed saved them on the high seas.
But why couldn't he help them again by sending them back directly?
Sawyer got a lot going on in his mind, with his feelings remaining mixed.
There was something in his heart he couldn't say.
He didn't even want to mention a single word.
"Don't worry, even if Wendy has my share transfer, she can't do anything with Joseph in the company!"
Even though Sasha hated to admit what her father said was true, she had to.
Joseph was indeed capable, and could be relied and trusted.
Her son definitely couldn't compare with him in this aspect.
However, jealousy was inevitable.
That was why she had felt being treated unfairly over the years.
However, when something serious really happened, people would always turn to a man of ability.
Sawyer handed over the company to Joseph, which was, in fact, a wise move, but she couldn't accept it without any complaint.
"Dad, it's windy outside. You go back to your room and rest first."
Sawyer fainted for no reason in the cockpit of the yacht, which scared her a lot.
If Hunter hadn't brought the doctor over, no one could have known what would happen to her father.
On the island, besides doctors, nurses, and a few bodyguards, there were some other people.
It didn't seem like they were watching them. Moreover, Hunter had also said that if they could sail on their own, his people would immediately escort them back.
This meant that they could sail on their own. His people would only escort them for fear that something unexpected would happen to them halfway.
At that time, at the very least, Hunter's people would be able to save them in time.
But if you lost your way on the sea without knowing how to drive the speedboat, they wouldn't give a hand.
In short, Hunter didn't restrict their freedom. They could leave if they could sail off the place.
If they couldn't, it would be their own problem.
"I'll go and study how to operate the speedboat," Sasha said.
Patriarch Gale shook his head, "Forget it, don't bother. Just trust Joseph!"
Joseph would find them, definitely.
It was already Monday. What should have happened would have happened long ago.
Sawyer looked thoughtful. He actually wasn't so eager to go back.
"As long as my children are safe, I have nothing to worry about. I can even live on
this desolate island for the rest of my life if I have to."
The only precondition was that Hunter wouldn't do anything to them.
In that case, Sawyer would live here forever as an atonement.
...
"It hurts." Emily groaned and sat up from the bed.
Her forehead hurt so much that she reached out to touch it. Sure enough, she got quite a lump there.
Fortunately, however, it didn't bleed.
Where was she now?
She looked up and found herself in an unfamiliar room. Could it be that after she
crashed into the car, she was caught by Wendy's people?
However, they didn't restrict her movements by tying her up.
Even though this room wasn't very big, it was exquisitely decorated and absolutely comfortable.
If Emily were in Wendy's hands, how could that woman be so nice to her?
Wendy couldn't wait to kill her at any time!
Where exactly was this place? Who brought her back?
Also, how long had she slept here?
Someone had obviously treated the lump on her forehead and also applied medicine to it.
Emily felt a little dizzy, but it wasn't very serious.
She got out of bed and saw a water dispenser beside her.
After hesitating for a moment, she walked over, poured a glass of water, and downed it.
After that, she put down the glass and walked to the door, listening for a while. Outside, there was only wind wuthering.
There was also a faint smell of seawater in the room. Where exactly was she? She tried to pull the door with caution, only to find that the room was unlocked. With a pull, the door directly opened.
The beach!
She was indeed on the beach.
It was very clean with fine sand. No garbage could be seen here, so it didn't look
like a tourist attraction, nor a place many people had visited.
Could someone tell her where she was?
Emily walked out of the room. Outside, it was completely different from what she had imagined.
There were a few houses in the surroundings that some people should resided in, but no one was watching her?
Wasn't she too free?
As she walked further, she saw two figures in the distance.
Emily narrowed her eyes. After adapting to the sunlight outside, she carefully looked at the two people walking on the beach.
Suddenly, she held her breath. Her eyes lit up and she ran over right away.
"Grandpa Gale!" No! Not Grandpa Gale! He was her grandfather!
Even if it hadn't proved to be true, or everything was just her speculation, she firmly believed that he was her grandfather!
"Grandfather!"
Emily suddenly felt like crying and almost shed tears.
The person they had been constantly thinking of and searching for so long without
any news, was actually right in front of her!
"Grandfather, grandfather!"
Emily's legs were a little weak when running on the beach. The smooth, fine sand made it difficult for her to run quickly.
She only ran about ten steps and accidentally fell into the sand.
But she immediately got up, and continued to run towards the two people by the
sea without even brushing the sand off her clothes.
Sawyer and Sasha were alive, safe and sound!
What could be happier than this?
Perhaps, Wendy had cheated Sawyer out of many things.
Or maybe there were truly some hidden secrets between Hunter and Wendy!
It could even be that the hair samples of her and Sawyer were taken away and switched by Hunter's people!
But now, all of this wasn't so important!
The most important thing was that her grandpa was alive. Nothing had happened
to him!
Emily rushed over and hugged Sawyer tightly.
"Grandfather, thank goodness you're fine. Thank god!"
She choked with sobs!
"Everyone is worried about you. I'm glad that you're fine!"
Chapter 424: He Said Someone in the Family Wanted to Take His Life
Sawyer could hardly believe that he would actually meet the person he wanted to see the most on this island.
That person was Emily, his true granddaughter.
They hugged each other tightly for a long time before something seemed to strike Sawyer's mind.
"Emily, why are you here? Why ... Did Hunter bring you here? Are you fine? Did they bully you? Did you get hurt?"
Seeing the lump on Emily's forehead, Sawyer was quite worried.
"What's going on? Who hurt you? Is it Hunter?"
Emily remained an innocent and pure girl, but Hunter actually vented his anger on her. He crossed the line!
Emily shook her head and sniffed, managing to stop her tears.
"It's not him. I didn't drive carefully and slammed on the brakes. After bumping into the steering wheel, I was knocked unconscious."
She rubbed her eyes and finally calmed down.
"Grandfather, Sasha, why are you here?"
Hearing this, Sasha felt extremely guilty and sad.
"Milady, have you also known who you are?"
"Actually, I'm not sure yet, but I'm also pretty sure at the same time."
Emily held Sawyer's hands tightly. "Previously I took my own hair and Grandfather's hair for DNA testing. But the result is I am not your granddaughter."
"How can that be?" Both Sawyer and Sasha were shocked.
Sasha hurried to say, "However, we clearly heard Wendy admit that she used your blood sample to have a DNA test with Dad in Bentson City. The result is that you are indeed related to each other."
"That's why I suspect that someone did something to our hair samples. The only possibility is..."
Emily bit her lip. Until now, she didn't want to doubt that person.
However, it was no longer a question of doubt. That was obviously the truth and she had to face it.
"Probably, Hunter didn't want me to get reunited with you so quickly. I believe he asked someone to change our hair samples."
"It's Hunter again!" Sasha clenched her fists with her eyes filled with anger.
"What happened? Did Hunter also... do something to you? Was he involved in this matter?"
Emily felt something clutching her heart, making her heartbroken!
The last thing she wanted to see was for Hunter to make members of the Gale family in trouble.
But now ...
"He didn't do anything to us. Instead, he rescued us from the high seas."
Sawyer held her hand and sighed helplessly.
"However, I think I can understand Hunter's feelings. He didn't want to join hands with Wendy, but he also hated to see me live comfortably. That's why he left us here."
"Since he isn't in partnership with Wendy, why couldn't he make things easier for our Gale family?"
Sasha couldn't understand this. Could it be that what Sawyer said to her today had something to do with this matter?
Sasha looked at Sawyer, feeling more and more suspicious, "Dad, is there an enmity... between you and him? Did the Gale Group offend the Jackson Group before?"
However, normal business competition was inevitable wherever it was.
If Hunter took a revenge because of this, weren't there a large number of companies that had competed with the Jackson Group in the marketplace? How many people could Hunter retaliate against?
When it came to his relationship with Hunter, Sawyer always wouldn't say more.noveldrama
Sasha knew that there must be an historic enmity between her father and the Jackson family.
However, he was unwilling to say anything about it. Now that things had been like this, nobody could do anything about it.
"Milady, accompany your grandpa back to his room for a rest. I'll go and study how to steer the speedboat."
Sasha was also very worried right now. What she was most concerned about was the Gale Group's future.
"I hope Joseph can try his best to save the situation and not let Wendy do anything she wants."
"Joseph ..." Emily didn't want to dash their hopes, but there was something she had to tell them.
"Milady, what's wrong? Did something happen to Joseph?"
Sawyer and Sasha stared at her anxiously at the same time.
“Before I fainted, his people received the information that Wendy had taken you to the high seas, so..."
Emily hesitated for a moment and continued, "He went to the high seas to find you with his men."
"What?" If what Emily said was true and Joseph couldn't return today, wouldn't the Gale group...
Darkness came over Sawyer's eyes and he almost fainted.
Sasha and Emily were startled and supported him in time.
"Grandfather, don't think about anything. Go back and rest first."
"There're doctors on the island. Hurry up, send him over and see the doctor!"
...
Today, there was indeed an upheaval in the Gale Group.
Joseph hadn't returned yet, and no one could contact him.
And now, the meeting room was filled with directors of the Gale Group.
Today the board meeting was held to dismiss Joseph from his post as president. Wendy would be designated as the new president.
"It's impossible for my father to appoint you as president without informing us." Lottie was the first to stand up.
"That's right, we can't accept this either, unless the chairman comes back and explains it to us personally."
A group of old employees also owned a small stake in the company, and they were all on Lottie's side.
"Lottie, it's Grandpa who appointed me as president. I also have the share transfer he gave me."
Wendy sat in the main seat. The person sitting next to her wasn't a core employee, but an old shareholder of the Gale Group!
The one with the longest seniority was Carl Gale, Sawyer's half-brother and Lottie's uncle.
"We've already asked the lawyer to authenticate this transfer. It's true and effective. From now on, Wendy will take over Sawyer's shares."
“Uncle! She is not Dad's granddaughter, nor an heir to our Gale Group. She is an imposter!"
Lottie glared at Wendy, "Also, she asked someone to take Dad and Sasha away. Right now, we don't know their whereabouts yet!"
"I've already called the police. They will soon find out what she had done!"
"Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about."
Wendy was unafraid and smiled disapprovingly, "The police had taken a statement from me. If they suspected me, why didn't they arrest me?"
"Actually, this transfer was signed on Thursday. Take a look at the time yourself." Wendy looked sideways at Lottie without fear.
"I remember clearly that on Friday morning, Grandfather and Sasha appeared in front of the media. At that time, I was with Hunter. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate."
She had alibis for not being involved in the disappearance of Sawyer and Sasha.
It was Sasha who tricked Sawyer into going out to sea. What did it have to do with
her?
Now that both of them had disappeared after going out to sea, no matter how the police investigated, they couldn't suspect her.
"Lottie, now I have every reason to doubt that you are scheming against Grandpa. Otherwise, he wouldn't transfer the shares to me in advance. He even told me that someone in the family wanted to take his life!
Chapter 425: The Gale Group Cannot Fall into the Hands of Outsiders
"What are you talking about?" Lottie couldn't believe that Wendy would be so meticulous at such a young age!
When Sawyer signed this transfer, he definitely didn't see the date clearly.
The date was actually Thursday!
"Wendy, what exactly did you mean by saying this? You have to explain it clearly."
A few old shareholders looked at her in astonishment.
Wendy glanced around at everyone, and then her gaze fell on Carl. She had a serious expression on her face.
"Grandpa told me earlier about his suspicion that Lottie colluded with Joseph to gain absolute control over the Gale Group."
"Wendy, you're slinging mud at me!" Lottie was so angry that she almost picked up the cup on the table and threw it at her.
How could the girl be so vicious at such a young age!
She even dared to slander people without any sense of guilt!
"I'm not slinging mud at you? Lottie, you know it yourself."
Wendy, a girl in her twenties, didn't show any sense of inferiority when facing Lottie.
She indeed had the bearing that the granddaughter of Patriarch Gale should have, which surprised everyone.
Lottie was speechless with rage.noveldrama
Wendy continued, "Now the shares have been transferred to me. I've also discussed with Great-Uncle, who agreed to dismiss Joseph from his post as president."
"You ..."
"Lottie, Joseph doesn't belong to the Gale family after all. You are planning to change his surname after getting the Gale Group. You want to take full control of the company!"
"How can that be?"
Upon hearing that Joseph was going to change his surname, everyone disagreed.
The Gale Group always belonged to the Gale family. How could an outsider be in charge?
"Wendy, Joseph and I have never thought about it!"
"Only you know it yourselves, but I can't put the entire Gale Group at risk!"
Wendy looked at everyone without giving Lottie the chance to speak. She continued to announce, "Next, I'll serve as president of the Gale Group. As for the position of vice president, I hope that David, the grandson of Great-Uncle, will take over. I wonder if everyone has any objections."
"Wendy, it's not up to you to decide for the company!"
Lottie pointed at her and angrily said, "You clearly want to take charge of the Gale Group through such an arrangement!"
Wendy had already colluded with Carl. No wonder he was speaking up for her all the time today!
Lottie glared at Carl. “She is just an imposter. If she takes charge of the Gale Group, the company won't belong to the Gale family sooner or later."
"If she were an imposter, why would Sawyer give her the shares? Lottie, I don't want to ask about how you and your son feel anymore. Now, I agree with Wendy's decision," Carl said expressionlessly.
Wendy smiled and said again, "There is another good news that I want to tell everyone."
All the directors, who are yet to make up their minds, could only look at Wendy and wait for her to continue.
Wendy said with a smile, "When I take over the position, I will sign an agreement of main lines from City L to Bentson City with the Jackson family. Everyone should have heard about the five-year project. As long as I become the president of the Gale Group, I'll definitely be able to land this project."
"The Shinkansen network from City L to Bentson City!"
Someone exclaimed and stood up excitedly, "Really ... can you do that?"
They had assessed the project long ago. If they were able to undertake it, the Gale Group would definitely undergo a qualitative leap forward in the next five years.
However, there were several candidates for cooperation with the Jackson family in this project, who hadn't decided who to work with yet!
"But, Miss Gale, how can you be sure that we can land this project?"
Someone questioned, so everyone's gaze fell on Wendy.
Even Lottie forgot to retort and just stared at her, "Why should we believe what you said?"
"I've got the agreement. As long as I become the president, I can immediately sign with the Jackson family."
Wendy motioned to her assistant by lifting her chin, who immediately handed the agreement to Carl.
He was so excited that his fingers were trembling. "It's true. The Jackson family has signed it in advance!"
"Signed it in advance? How is this possible? Could it be that you ... you and the Jackson family ..."
"I wonder if everyone knows about my relationship with Young Master Hunter of the Jackson family."
Speaking of this, Wendy smiled as if she was a young girl passionately in love.
It turned out that their future president had such an intimate relationship with Young Master Hunter!
Didn't this mean that the Jackson family and the Gale family would be connected by marriage?
If that was the case, there would be no problem with any cooperation.
This would undoubtedly enhance the already impressive strength of the Gale Group!
"Miss Gale, you are the granddaughter of Patriarch Gale. If you can't be the president of the Gale Group, how can an outsider?"
Everyone knew how much each of them could earn from the Shinkansen project.
Therefore, several people immediately stood up and expressed support for Wendy.
Who could remain rational when it came to profit?
Many people, who had been neutral from the beginning, began to support Wendy.
However, there were still several shareholders in the Gale Group who
unswervingly backed Joseph up.
However, Sawyer had given Wendy too many shares.
Coupled with the support of Carl and several shareholders, Wendy was elected as president by an absolute advantage in the board meeting.
"Lottie, they will hold a press conference in the afternoon to announce Wendy's appointment as president. Where exactly is Joseph now?"
After the meeting ended, a few old shareholders entered Lottie's office with worried looks on their faces.
Even if Joseph came back now, he might not be able to save the situation.
There was even no chance of him changing what happened now.
After all, Wendy had convinced many shareholders with the Shinkansen project in her hand.
However, at such a crucial moment, it was impossible for Joseph not to come back.
"I've checked the president's previous schedule. He didn't have plans for a business trip in the past few days. Where exactly is he now?"
"By the way, Lottie, I heard that something happened to Patriarch Gale. Is that true? How is he now? Is he alright?"
Currently, it seemed that there were some problems in the Gale family.
Actually, what they were most worried about was that if something happened to
the Gale family, would it be detrimental to the Gale Group?
What if the company's stock was affected...
"Everyone, don't panic. Joseph just went out on an urgent matter and will be back soon."
In fact, Lottie was also at a loss as to what to do. She couldn't reach Joseph at all!
If that was always the case, it wouldn't be easy to settle the matter.
Also, where did Dad go?
The most terrifying thing was that even Emily had disappeared!
She had lost contact with everyone in the family. It was all because of her years of experience in the business circles that she was able to remain calm until now! "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Joseph and Dad will be back soon. They'll stop Wendy from her crazy behavior!"
