Chapter 772: Chapter 772 Go Along With Their Plans

On the way back, Charlie was still curious.

“Madam, were we being too high profile in this matter!? This might not be good for your reputation. The media has been paying attention to you all this while. I’m afraid that this will be disadvantageous to you…”

Eudora smiled wryly and said, “Will I be afraid of that? What I want is indeed to become high profile! That way, whoever dares to bully the Granger family in the future will think twice! Even if Amos is gone, I can still protect my children.”

Charlie felt a jolt in his heart and nodded at her.

“Don’t worry, Madam. We’re still here. We’ll protect you!”

She murmured a response, but immediately recalled something.

“Did you find Wesley?”

He had been missing ever since Amos’ incident.

Charlie shook his head, replying, “Not yet! However, the news has already been sent out. We’ll find him eventually!”

After a slight pause, he opened his mouth to say something, but hesitated.

“Madam, are you really not suspicious of anything at all?”

“Of what?” she asked curiously.

“People outside have been saying that Wesley may have been the one who had harmed Master Amos. Do you think that…”

“There’s no way that’s true!” Eudora replied.

She shook her head and said, “I believe in Wesley and also in Amos’ judgment.”

Charlie nodded and secretly clenched his fists.

“Thank you, Madam.”

Eudora raised her head to look at him. He tried to smile, but his eyes were still reddened.

“Others have been saying that Wesley might have become a traitor, and I felt that he was robbed of justice. He had pledged all his loyalty towards Mr. Granger and you. Fortunately, you trust him, so thank you for that.”

Eudora patted his shoulder and said, “Naturally, I trust friends who have gone through thick and thin together with me! Don’t listen to the gossip outside in the future.”

“Yes!” Charlie answered.

As they were talking, Clint called again.

“Madam, where are you now?”

“On the way to the company,” Eudora said. “Has something happened? Did Sebastian and the others come to cause a scene again?”

Clint answered, “Yes! Sebastian and his people have brought several shareholders here early in the morning to cause a commotion, demanding an explanation from you!”

She closed her eyes and replied, “I’ll be there in five minutes.”

…

In the conference room upstairs of the company.

When Eudora arrived, she saw that the shareholders had already gathered there as she expected.

Upon seeing her arrival, Sebastian did not say anything. Instead, another shareholder, Nick Lance, spoke up.

“Miss George, you’ve come just in time; we have something to discuss with you.”

Miss George? In the past, no matter what had happened, she still deserved to be called Mrs. Granger. Now that she was not needed anymore, did they think that they could get rid of her just like that?

Eudora maintained her composure, “What’s the matter?”

“Well, Miss George, you’re the boss of Tyly Company. You had helped us handle the previous company crisis before this, and we’re extremely grateful for your help. However, now that the crisis has been resolved, shouldn’t you hand over the authority to the company now?”

Clint immediately retorted, “President Granger is not here anymore. Mrs. Granger is the most suitable person to take charge of the company…”

Nick smiled and said, “What Assistant Zuckerberg has said makes sense. However, that’s not too practical for Valiant East Group, is it? After all, there has been no precedence of women taking charge of this company.”

Eudora nodded and looked over to Sebastian, “What do you all actually want?”

“For you to hand the company over to other members of the Granger family, of course,” said Nick with a smile, “Only family members with the Granger blood should be the rightful successors, right?”

Eudora played dumb and said, “You’re right. Then, I’ll bring Sugar Bun in tomorrow.”

Nick’s mouth twitched, “Miss George, have you mixed things up? The young master isn’t even two years old yet. How can he be the successor of the Valiant East Group?”

“Why not? Didn’t you say so yourself that those with the Granger family bloodline can inherit it? Sugar Bun is Amos’ son. Why can’t he be the successor?” Eudora questioned back.

Nick instantly choked, “T-that is a reasonable thought, but the young master is too young. He can’t take care of the company’s affairs! The Valiant East Group is a large company, so a capable person is required to manage it!”

When Nick said this, he deliberately looked in Sebastian’s direction.

Sebastian immediately straightened up and gave a look at another shareholder, who also chimed in.

“It’s not like the young master is the only person left in the Granger family. Aren’t there other relatives? Old Master Granger had already accepted them in the beginning and had even given them shares, so it means that they are part of the Granger family as well. Why can’t they take over the company?”

The world had always bullied the weak and feared the mighty.

If Amos was still here, none of them would ever dare to cause trouble here. However, now that Amos was gone, their wild ambitions were on full display.

Eudora’s lips curled upward into a mocking sneer.

“If they were really capable, Old Master Granger wouldn’t have banished them in the very beginning, isn’t that right?”

“You!” Sebastian finally couldn’t hold back anymore.

“You don’t know anything! If it wasn’t for you, how could the company have ended up like this? Amos had sacrificed his life in exchange for the company’s current situation. The Valiant East Group’s stocks have plummeted and have returned to their original state. Let me tell you. As long as I am still around, you will never have the opportunity to be the empress of this company! Give up on your wild dreams!”

Eudora closed her eyes and asked, “Do all of you think so too?”

They all either turned their heads away or lowered their heads in silence.

It was obvious that they were already colluding with Sebastian.

Taking advantage of her grieving period, he had already taken control of the overall situation. Eudora pursed her lips quietly and said, “Then, let me think about it first! I’ll give you a reply later.”

“That’s more like it. You’re Amos’ wife, so the Granger family won’t mistreat you. The house in Clearwater Bay is still yours to live in, and the office downstairs is for you to use. However, don’t interfere in the affairs of the Granger family anymore in the future!” said Sebastian.

Eudora did not heed him anymore. She turned around and walked out of the room.

She arrived at her office.

Only then did Clint start speaking frantically, “Madam, do you really want to hand over the company to him? No way! Sebastian isn’t capable at all. The company won’t last for more than half a year in his hands. If this happens, how can I face President Granger after I die?”

Eudora did not answer but enquired, “How is the company’s current situation?”

He saw her serious expression and immediately came to his senses.

“At present, the company is doing fine in its recovery. The shareholders who had previously bought our shares did not suffer heavy losses. The situation is relatively well and stable.”

“What about the shareholders? What agreement have they made with Sebastian?” she continued.

Clint was surprised, asking, “How do you know about that? I just received news that Sebastian had secretly contacted them while you were still grieving. Apparently, they had signed an agreement, stating that every shareholder who supports him will receive one percent of the shares.”

What a huge gesture of generosity!

Although it was only one percent, the amount of money given by such a big company like the Valiant East Group would already be an unsurpassable number for ordinary people.

Clint hurriedly asked, “What are you thinking? Are we going to go along with their plans?”
