Chapter 781



Brenda was distraught but there was nothing she could do. She could only tell her acquaintances on facebook to support Nora more.

At the same time.

In the conference room of the Hunt Corporation.

The room was already in chaos. Everyone was arguing excitedly.

Howard sighed. “Everyone, calm down. I just called home. Our family says my sister-in-law just left. She won’t be able to be here before an hour.”

When he said this, everyone instantly became enraged. “Then why was she lying just now? She said she would be here in half an hour… ha, by the time she gets to the company, it will be past 11. It will be lunchtime.”

Every journey starts at gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s․c𝗈𝗆 “How could she forget about the meeting, she’s too careless!”

“If she really likes to sleep, then she can sleep at home. Why is she coming to the company? Is she here to make trouble? Can she lead our Hunt Corporation forward just by her appearance? I really doubt it!”

“Come on! Why are we waiting here?”

All of these people were very wealthy and had their own temperament.

In the past, when Justin was around, he could still suppress them. But now, how could a bunch of old foxes tolerate a little girl like Nora?

They all got up and were about to leave when Hunt’s third uncle said, “You all agreed a moment ago to wait for Miss Smith for another half hour. There’s only twenty minutes left, why don’t we wait and give it a try.”

Then he looked at Howard. “You said you called home, but why haven’t I received any news? Don’t tell me you’re talking nonsense and slandering Nora.”

As soon as he said this, Howard immediately shouted in complaint. “Uncle, you can’t say that about me! How could I slander my own sister-in-law? If you don’t believe me, call our family.”

Brenda’s father, the Hunt’s third child, continued, “I won’t call. I’m not going to pry into the whereabouts of the president. This is very rude. I’ll just wait here. When the time comes, if he hasn’t come yet, he’ll give us an explanation.”

When Howard heard this, he instantly waved his hand and rebuked the crowd. “All right, since Third Uncle has said so, then gentlemen, please have a show of consideration for me and stay! We’ll wait quietly for Nora to come.”

Everyone was a little dissatisfied with Howard’s act.

However, no one spoke much.

After all, after the company had been cleaned out, the people who were left now were either middlemen, people who had never worked as a team, or Justin’s own people.

Although Justin had passed away, the company had not gone under!

When Howard saw this situation, he blinked at the person behind him. It was his personal secretary. She did not work at Hunt Corporation, so she had not been eliminated by Justin at that time.

At that point, the secretary said, “Everyone, we are sure that Ms. Smith just left the house. She definitely won’t be able to make it in time. Since that is the case, why don’t we discuss whether Miss Smith is suitable and whether she has the ability to be the chairperson?”

Everyone was silent.

Although they were all very unhappy with Nora’s delay, they respected Justin very much.

However, what the secretary said next made everyone hesitate.

The secretary sighed. “We are all doing this for the good of the Hunt Corporation and President Hunt. Also, Miss Smith is only acting as temporary president. Her future position belongs to Peter Hunt. If Miss Smith is so reckless and can even be late for a meeting, will the future of Hunt Corporation be handed over to her?”

His words hit the nail on the head.

In fact, when Justin suddenly passed away, everyone was a little nervous. Over the years, Justin had covered the sky with a hand in the company.

From time to time, when everyone had different opinions, they made money whenever they listened to Justin.

It didn’t matter if they lost money.

As long as they were honest with the company, Justin would use his own money to keep them profitable.

He had this kind of magical power to make people submit to him sincerely!

But now, was the Hunt Corporation really going to be run by a woman who only knew how to sleep?

Everyone started to think.

Third Uncle frowned and scolded, “Is the board meeting something that a secretary like you can just barge in on a whim? Besides, we’ve only been without Justin for a few days, and you’re already inciting bullying his widow!”.

His tone was heavy as he spoke.

Everyone’s faces grew heated.

At this point, Howard stood out. “Uncle, the company is not a family business. All family businesses face destruction. This is what Justin said when he was still alive, This is why he never let anyone favor family members! That’s why everyone looks up to him. But now, are you being biased and protecting Nora? Are you really not going to worry about the future of the company?”

Third Uncle scoffed. “The future of the Hunt Corporation resides with Pete…. Peter Hunt! In the last ten years, our rise has been too rapid. Now is the time to calm down and fight hard! In another fifteen years, when the company passes into Peter Hunt’s hands, it will be a new beginning!”

Howard sighed. “You want us to stay in the same place for fifteen years? Man, you can do it, but can the directors here do it? Business is like sailing against the current. If we don’t move forward, we’ll go backward. A million dollars ten years ago is the same as a million dollars ten years later? They’re different amounts! Property will depreciate! We can only maintain our current status by constantly improving. Uncle, I know you’re thinking about Justin, but I think, if he were still around, do you think he’d hire a casually late employee to run us?” Third Uncle muttered, “Isn’t she a half hour late?”

“She won’t be able to make it in half an hour. Besides, she’s lying! It’s clear she just left…”

Howard scolded her. He was about to say something when the door suddenly opened. Nora came striding in.
