Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 622 Catherine cast a sharp glance at the person who commented that. Funnily enough, it was a female shareholder named Woofe.
âDirector Woofe, your barks really have you living up to your name,â she said sarcastically.
Director Woofe became furious when she understood the double entendre. âChairwoman Jones, what do you mean? Am I wrong that men love a gentle and beautiful woman?â
âIâve only been away for three years but everyone thinks they can be impolite to me now, huh? Donât forget who was the one who instructed you all to be here for this board meeting,â Catherine reminded the room that was full of people.
It was Shaun.
Everyone kept quiet.
âSarah, I suggest that you leave now or Iâll have Harvey drag you out,â she warned coldly. âBesides, havenât Shaun told you? Or should I remind you again of my status?â
Sarahâs beautiful face paled instantly.
She knew the two of them had not divorced, thus she would naturally become the third party if Catherine told everyone the truth.
âSure, Iâll leave.â
She rose to her feet while looking aggrieved.
Catherine was not bothered by the hateful looks thrown at her by the board of directors. âOh right, as the chairwoman of Hudson Corporation, Iâm firing you from your position. You can get out of here after settling everything.â
âYouâre going overboard,â Director Irvine said anxiously, âWe object to that decision.â
âThatâs right. Shareholders have the right to vote for the chairperson,â the rest echoed.
âAll of you seem to think that youâll be pardoned for this with Shaunâs support, huh?â Catherineâs eyes scanned across the room.
They all turned silent.
âAlright, then Iâll give him a phone call.â
Catherine rang Shaun on the phone. In a couple of seconds, his cold voice sounded through the speaker. âWhoâs this?â
The shareholders scoffed. Her ex-husband had not even saved her contact. The way he treated her was completely different from how he cared for Sarah.
Sarah, who was almost reaching the door, stopped in her tracks and smiled smugly.
Catherine was not upset. She spoke calmly into the phone, âItâs me, Catherine.â
âAre you trying toââ
âPresident Hill, youâre on loudspeaker,â she interrupted, âI didnât think it would only take three years for the shareholders of my corporation to disrespect me. I donât even have the authority to fire Sarah.â
Shaun, who was on the other side of the phone, felt his blood boiling upon hearing Catherineâs words.
He was about to argue back when Catherine continued, âHey, whatâs this thing in my pocket? It feels like some sort of certificate.â
ââ¦â
The man who was getting into the elevator almost kicked over the safety box in front of him.
What certificate? Their marriage certificate? This woman was threatening him again.
Damn it!
He clenched his teeth and forced himself to sound gentle as he said, âGo ahead then. You should handle the corporation the way you want to now that youâre back.â
It would be best if the corporation was destroyed under her leadership.
Catherine fiddled with the ballpen in her fingers and sighed before speaking like a spoiled child, âBut they only care about Sarah now. Iâm so frustrated and slightly disappointed, to be honest. This is too difficult.â
Shaun felt goosebumps all over his body but was left with no alternative. âHudson Corporation is yours to begin with, so you should have full authority. Iâll send someone over to have a little chat with anyone who doesnât listen to you.â
âThanks. Bye!â
She hung up the phone.
