Chapter 8 How Is This Girl Still Alive?

The ambitions of these shareholders were already apparent.

The poison in his body was also planted by those shareholders.

Finley stared deeply at the unsightly shareholders in front of him. He felt that the only person he could rely on now was himself, and he didn’t trust anyone else.

“Finley, after we have said so much to you, what are you considering? Are you going to hand over the Dean Corporation or not?”

“Of course not.”

A woman’s voice interrupted. The shareholders’ attention on Finley was redirected toward Samantha. Samantha exuded a strong aura as she stood beside Finley. With each step she took, the shareholders’ hearts skipped a beat.

Who was this woman?

Samantha quickly approached Finley and stood in front of him. “The reason why the Dean Corporation has thrived in recent years is largely due to Finley’s efforts. The rumors about Finley being terminally ill with a deadly poison are just rumors and should not be taken seriously. Don’t you think you are pressuring Finley to step down as the president for such a ridiculous reason?”

Her words sparked strong dissatisfaction among the shareholders. “Who do you think you are, young lady? Who gave you the right to interrupt the Dean Corporation shareholders’ meeting? Who are you?”

Samantha smiled coldly. “Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Samantha Wallace, and I am the future successor of the Wallace Corporation. Moreover, I am also Finley’s newlywed wife as of last night. Therefore, as Finley’s wife, I believe I have the right to speak, don’t you think?”

Finley’s newlywed wife?

How was this girl still alive?

Didn’t they say that any woman who married Finley would inevitably die within one night? How was this girl still alive?

The shareholders retorted, “Even if you are Finley’s newlywed wife, you still have no right to speak. The Dean Corporation shareholders’ meeting is only open to shareholders, and you are not a shareholder of the Dean Corporation. If you insist on staying here and interfering, we can sue you for eavesdropping on our company’s secrets.”

Finley listened intently to the shareholders’ aggressive remarks. Although he didn’t like Samantha, she was his woman, and this group of elderly men couldn’t bully her.

Suddenly, he reached out and pulled Samantha into his arms before casually tucking away the stray hair on her face. “Mr. Donovan, you’ve mistaken. Since Samantha married me, everything that belongs to me also belongs to her, including all the shares of the Dean Corporation under my name. So, if you want to accuse my wife of eavesdropping on company secrets, are you also accusing me?”

“Finley, I…”

Before Dominic Donovan could finish speaking, Finley interrupted, “The Dean Corporation still bears the name Dean, not Donovan. So, before you bully my wife, shouldn’t you seek my consent?”

Dominic hadn’t expected that Finley would defend Samantha, who had just entered the family, in such a manner. But upon reflection, it made sense. Finley was unattractive, and it wasn’t easy for him to find a woman willing to marry him. It was only natural for him to protect her like a treasure.

However, he had gone too far, which wasn’t appropriate.

“Finley, the reason I said those words earlier was simply to make your wife leave. After all, we, a group of grown men, are discussing matters. What’s the matter with a woman like her interfering?”
