Soon, the auditing process began.
Sebastian lit a cigarette with a confident look on his face.
They first checked the companyâs operations. In general, although there wasnât much growth, it was about the same as before.
The catering business was basically in a state of stagnation.
Clint glanced at Sebastian, and Sebastian snorted at him.
âSo what? You all didnât mention anything about it in the beginning. Now that the economy is bad, is there a problem with us not continuing the catering business? As long as the total assets are correct, you cannot break the agreement.â
Clint glanced at Eudora, and Eudora nodded.
âGo on.â
Sebastian and Roger looked at each other. Initially, what they were most worried about was that Eudora would use that point against them. However, she was actually glossing over it.
Then, there was nothing to be afraid of anymore! They were confident!
Soon, Clint pointed at the last charity project and said, âRegarding these fundsâ¦â
Sebastian immediately straightened his body, like a frightened cat.
âWhatâs wrong? Are there any problems with this fund? Weâve gotten them using a legitimate way. The subsequent plans have already been mentioned on the agenda. You have to understand it well before trying to find mistakes.â
Clint said in shock, âMr. Granger, what are you talking about? I just wanted to say that itâs a good fund to establish.â
Sebastian was stunned.
After saying so, Clint looked at Eudora.
âMadam, there are no problems here!â
Eudora nodded with a poker face.
Sebastian immediately returned to normal, âYouâre done checking? There arenât any problems, right? If thatâs the case, letâs quickly get the formalities over with!â
âWait.â Clint suddenly said, âI want to ask all the shareholders here, are you sure you want to abandon Valiant East Catering?â
Sebastianâs face darkened as he turned to look at Roger.
Roger quickly nodded confidently and said, âValiant East Catering is indeed one of the earliest businesses started by Valiant East. However, even companies that have a long history, tend to change. Now, weâre going through changes ourselves. Isnât that allowed?â
âDo all the other shareholders think the same?â Clint asked.
Hearing this, the other shareholders all looked at each other in silence.
After a while, Nick spoke out first.
âMr. Granger is right. As long as the company develops well, it doesnât matter if we give up something less important!â
Sebastian laughed hysterically. Sure enough, his father had successfully convinced the other shareholders.
Now, he was not afraid of anything.
Thinking of that, he immediately called in the assistant.
âGo invite the lawyer and media over. Today, we will announce this to the public.â
Harper said hurriedly, âThe lawyer is ready. The media are also downstairs. Did you ask someone else to arrange for that?â
At that time, all Sebastian was thinking about was becoming the President of Valiant East, so he did not think much about it.
âSince the media is here, quickly arrange them to go to the conference room!â
âYes!â Harper quickly went out.
Sebastian stood up and said proudly.
âEveryone, letâs all move to the bigger conference room. We are going to hold a press conference and explain the stock situation clearly.â
Charlie looked at Eudora, a little worried. Eudora had not made any big moves so far. Did she really have no plans?
While he was trying to figure it out, Eudora had already gone out.
Charlie hurriedly looked at Clint, âWhatâs going on? Isnât Madam prepared? Why hasnât she done anything?â
Clint raised the corner of his mouth, âIt has been done!â
Charlie was puzzled, âWhat?â
Clint glanced at the direction of the conference room, âIsnât the media here?â
â¦
In the conference room, after the media took their seats, Sebastian came to the stage and gave a speech complacently.
He announced the change of the person-in-charge of the Granger family, which caused an uproar in the media.
A famous family changing their person-in-charge-it was a piece of big news. If nothing else happened, it would make the headlines.
Sebastian looked at the excited faces and felt as if his life was reaching its peak.
When he was done with the announcement, only then did Eudora get up with a sad look on her face.
âThank you for your concern. From today onwards, Sebastian will be in charge of Valiant East!â
The media was trying to capture every minor expression on Eudoraâs face to make a fuss about it.
Eudoraâs current expression was noticed by the media.
âMrs. Granger, do you have unspoken difficulties in your heart?â
After all, even if Amos was gone, everything in Valiant East had already possessed a set of protocols. Even if Eudora did not do much, business could go on as usual.
Whatâs more, since the stock battle that occurred last time, Eudoraâs image of a strong career woman had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
However, she was now giving up Valiant East and changing hands.
In the crowd, someone was whispering , âA while ago, there was a rumor that Mrs. Granger was the one who killed President Granger. Could that be the reason why?â
âHow is that possible? If what youâre saying is true, it would become a criminal case and the police would have come a long time ago. Since nothing has happened, I donât think thatâs the case. In my opinion, itâs possible that the other members of the family wanted to inherit the property. Thatâs why all this has happened.â
It was as if a floodgate had been opened. Everyone else started talking about the matter.
âIt seems highly likely! Mr. and Mrs. Granger were a loving couple. I donât believe in the rumors being spread online.â
âLook at Mrs. Grangerâs finger. She still has her wedding ring on. I just know that sheâs a loyal wife. Amos dying does nothing good to her.â
âIn the upper class, one would be unscrupulous for personal benefits. I think Mrs. Granger had been forced by the men. Otherwise, she wouldnât look like this. What a pitiful woman, not only has she lost her husband, everything is being taken away from her nowâ¦â
Charlie suddenly realized what the situation was about.
He finally understood what Clint meant.
She was giving them a taste of their own medicine!
Beforehand, Sebastian had used the same trick and he had manipulated the media. He had made them think that Eudora was the one who killed Amos. Now, she was doing the same back to him.
Sebastianâs face was livid, âWhat nonsense are you all talking about?â
The presidency was within grasp. How could he endure being suddenly criticized like this?
Roger held his forehead and said, âSebastian, donât say anything stupid.â
However, Sebastian had already offended the media. The media instantly bombarded Sebastian with questions. Even the break in incident that he thought he had hidden well was brought up.
Sebastian was stubborn, âThat was all a misunderstanding. Thereâs no evidence to prove that the incident happened!â
âWhat about this, then?â Clint suddenly asked.
Clint picked up a USB flash drive and said, âThis is the audio file of you capturing Miss Georgeâs father and threatening him to hand over the secret recipe.â
Sebastianâs face turned pale, âThatâs impossible.â
How could it be possible? He had chosen the location to be on a mountain. How could there be any recordings of the incident?
