Chapter 848: Chapter 848 Awkward

The atmosphere in the meeting room turned awkward.

Truth be told, before Amos’ return, they had not fully trusted Eudora.

All they cared about was their own benefits.

Previously, they had submitted to her because they could not find any problems with her. Other than that, she had also tricked them so many times, making them have no choice but to obey her.

Thus, they had reluctantly gone on like that.

Upon Amos’ return, they seemed to have found another solution. They had been thinking of using the news of Amos affecting the company’s situation as an excuse to stir a commotion. So, in order to shut them up, Eudora might give them some benefits.

After all, how could a man like Amos accept the fact that he had become a topic of conversation among the people?

However, they were all taught a lesson!

Not only did Amos not seem to mind at all, he even generously showed his face to them.

Eudora was even calmer. Faced with such a situation, she was still able to calmly point out their mistakes.

In that instant, everyone became quiet, not knowing what to say.

In the end, it was Nick who spoke first.

He said, “It’s good that everything’s fine. Everyone’s just worried about the company, right? Since you, President Granger, have returned, when will you come back to the company?”

Eudora thought, “Nick really is a sly, old fox!”

On the surface, he was attempting to show some respect towards Amos, hoping to brush off that previous issue by just a sentence. However, Nick did not forget to curry a little favor at the end of his sentence.

That favor was the matter of asking Amos to come back.

Valiant East belonged to the Granger family, thus it was normal for Amos to return.

However, if Amos returned, Valiant East would become the talk of the town, and it would not be a good thing for both Amos and the company.

On the other hand, if Amos said that he would not be returning, that meant that he would be admitting in front of so many people that he relied on his wife to raise the family.

Such a matter would be hard for a fully-grown adult man to do!

Thinking of that, Eudora turned her head to look at Amos.

Just as she was about to speak, Amos spoke first, “I won’t be returning to the company!”

Nick was taken aback for a moment. He tried to explain himself clearer.

He tried to explain the meaning behind his words clearer, “Miss George indeed has done a good job at managing the company, but she’s only a woman after all. It must be very hard on her. As a woman, she should stay at home and…”

During such a situation, it was inappropriate for a wedded man to say that they would stay at home and let the wife work.

Eudora grew a little unhappy, “Nick, this concerns my own family. Besides, Amos…”

“It’s fine!” Amos smiled faintly and looked at Nick with sharp eyes.

He said, “I know what you are trying to say, Nick. You just want to say that I’m useless, right? I’m useless for relying on my wife for a living, isn’t that right?”

Nick waved his hand in false indignation and said, “President Granger, what do you mean by that? That’s not what I meant! I j-just…”

“Enough!” Amos said coldly. “You don’t have to explain yourself. Since you want an answer, I’ll give you one. I enjoy staying at home, taking care of my child and managing the chores. I’m at ease for letting Eudora manage the company. Are there any other questions?”

Amos shut everyone in the room up with a single reply.

Most of them could not believe their ears. They had no clue what to say at all!

Nick was embarrassed and said, “Well, since President Granger has said so, we have no other objections. Let’s just keep things the way they are now! I still have something else to do. I’ll leave first!”

Did he think he could run away after stirring up some trouble?

Eudora stopped him in a cold voice and ordered, “Nick, don’t leave just yet. I have something else to ask you about.”

Amos had done his part. Therefore, Eudora had to pull her weight as well.

After getting Amos’ approval, Nick no longer dared to ignore her. He stiffly smiled and said, “Go ahead!”

“It’s nothing much. I just wanted to thank you for your affirmation just now by saying that I was doing a good job,” replied Eudora.

Everyone thought that Eudora was trying to smooth things over. When they heard her words, they all heaved a sigh of relief.

“Miss George, you are really doing a great job. All of us have witnessed it!”

“Are you saying that all of you will let me handle the company from now on? You’re not tricking me, aren’t you?”

“Why would we do that? Of course we won’t trick you!”

Eudora suddenly smiled, “Great! I’m happy to have everyone’s support. Since the company is doing well, I’d like to make some adjustments. Are you willing to continue supporting me?”

“Of course!”

At that moment, no matter what she said, they would agree to it!

Who would’ve thought that Eudora would change her tone suddenly?

“That’s great! Truth be told, all of you shareholders don’t hold a job in the company, yet you still come to the company almost daily. It’s incredibly troublesome and tiring for you all and I feel bad. With the trust you’ve given me today, I’ll issue a new company rule. Shareholders are only allowed to enter the company during the monthly shareholders meeting and during annual gatherings. Other than that, please do not step into the company.”

Everyone seemed to be frozen in place, “What exactly are you talking about?”

“Am I not being clear enough?”

Eudora repeated what she had just said.

Then, she instructed Clint, who was behind her, “Announce this new rule immediately. Make it clear to the security department. If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible!”

“Yes!” Clint went to deal with it immediately.

Nick finally could not hold his anger back and said, “Are you trying to steer us away and take full control of the company? President Granger, what’s the mean-”

Amos looked at Eudora and turned around.

He said with a smile, “Eudora is my wife, and this is my company. I have no problem with this!”

Nick was incredibly enraged!

“The shareholders’ interests also have to be protected! We can’t just allow anyone to do this. This will damage the company’s benefits and income!”

Eudora blinked, “Of course, this company follows the rules and regulations. Everyone here has one part of the company’s shares. When it’s time, I will make sure everyone receives their supposed dividends. If I fail to do so, you can come see me here or even use a lawyer to do so!”

“Let me reiterate this. When it’s time for all of you to exercise your rights and obligations, I will make sure that everyone gets to do that. However, when none of you are needed, I hope that you all won’t appear here!”

How dare they threaten her husband? Of course, Eudora had to teach them a lesson!

Although they were the company’s shareholders, the Granger family still had the most say in the company. With Amos’ support behind her, what else could they say?

If they said something wrong, their future in the company might be affected.

Valiant East was the cream of the crop at that moment. No one would risk losing their shares in the company at that point!

Thus, they could only compromise.

Eudora finally heaved a sigh of relief after seeing everyone off.

“That felt so good! I’ve wanted to drive them out for a long time! I finally did it! I don’t have to listen to them nag at me anymore!”

Amos shook his head helplessly and said, “You’re slowly becoming an expert at flaunting your power.”

“That’s all thanks to you!” Eudora said with a smile. “I’ll give you a reward!”

She lowered her head and kissed Amos on the cheek as she spoke.
