Chapter 697: Chapter 700: I am Very Satisfied with My Granddaughter-in-law (Additional 4)
Just as the shareholders who had raised their hands were about to put them down.
At this moment, they regretted the decision so much that they wished they could chop off their own right hands.
How could they have been so impatient?
How could they have fallen for Mr. Cooper’s trick so easily!?
Unfortunately, even with regrets, it was too late.
They had all already been deeply remembered by Aidan Lucas.
Several shareholders who had not raised their hands together couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads.
Mr. Cooper’s move was ruthless and cunning.
With one vote, he revealed the traitors among them.
Shareholders crushed by the 75% stake owned by the Lucas family all closed their mouths and behaved.
Aidan Lucas glanced coldly at the instigator, Director Holbrook, and said coldly, “Alright, if you have nothing else to say, we’ll adjourn the board meeting for today.”
Aidan Lucas clearly wanted to dismiss the crowd.
Several shareholders on Aidan’s list were already terrified and eager to leave the conference room as soon as possible.
Hearing that Aidan said the meeting could be dismissed, they all hurriedly stood up.
Only Director Holbrook, in his heart, still felt unwilling to concede defeat.
Although he was incited by Theodore Lucas to secretly contact a group of people with ulterior motives.
But at least now, his proposal for Aidan Lucas to divorce Mrs. Lucas was truly sincere.
He was also a part of Royal Palace Group and wanted the best for it.
Director Holbrook reluctantly stood up, unwilling to leave the conference room just like that.
Aidan Lucas didn’t want to give him even an extra glance.
He glanced at Samuel Mckinley, who immediately understood and went over with two robust men in black.
“Director Holbrook, the other shareholders have left. Please leave as well.”
Samuel Mckinley was respectful in his tone. Seeing that Director Holbrook was unwilling to move from his spot, he added, “Mr. Lucas is going to talk with the heads of other branches of the Lucas family. This is an internal meeting of the Lucas family. Please, Director Holbrook, avoid suspicion.”
Actually, today’s meeting had originally only invited the heads of the other branches of the Lucas family to attend.
If not for Director Holbrook’s instigation, gathering a group of people to force Mr. Lucas to agree to a divorce, there wouldn’t have been such an incident.
“Alright, I’ll go, I’ll go.” Director Holbrook knew he couldn’t defeat Aidan Lucas, so he reluctantly followed Samuel Mckinley. Under the ‘escort’ of the two bodyguards, they headed out.
As he reached the door and was about to leave, he suddenly stopped and turned around abruptly.
“The heads of the family branches, today’s Royal Palace was not easy to achieve. I beg you, don’t let Mr. Cooper act on impulse! The Lucas family has been around for hundreds of years. How could they ruin their future for one woman? As long as we let Mr. Cooper divorce, they can immediately benefit greatly. One and a half million must not be confused!”
Director Holbrook was reluctant to let Aidan Lucas confront the Scott family.
Suppressing his anger, he suddenly lashed out and yelled at the others in the room.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Samuel Mckinley was caught off guard and was about to cover his mouth and forcibly take him away when an old, calm voice slowly came from outside the door.
“Director Holbrook is right. The Lucas family has been around for hundreds of years, and we won’t let Ethan Wilson do anything that would disgrace the family. We have our own rules, and we don’t need you to worry about them. Samuel, send Director Holbrook out.”
“Madam Lucas…” The heads of the family branches in the conference room were all startled.
Seeing Madam Lucas, who had a solemn expression, appear in front of him, Director Holbrook’s legs suddenly went soft from fear.
“Lucas…Madam Lucas…” When he was younger, he had been favored by Madam Lucas. He never expected that today’s display would be caught red-handed by her.
“Huh, I’m surprised you still remember who I am. Director Holbrook, it’s been many years, and you’ve become much smarter than before.”
The double meaning in Madam Lucas’s words was not lost on Director Holbrook. He opened his mouth and then closed it, unable to utter a single word.
His face was burning with pain, as he felt like he had no more dignity to stand in front of Madam Lucas.
Madam Lucas didn’t even raise an eyelid, coldly saying, “By the way, let me introduce you. This is my granddaughter-in-law, Lily Gray. Unlike you, I am very satisfied with my granddaughter-in-law.”
