Beyond the Divorce



As Mia said that, the shareholders who had been watching the situation immediately looked at each other. Some stood up and fled the conference room as if they were running for their lives. When the others realized that some of them had taken the initiative to leave, they hurried out of the conference room one by one, acting as though they had been given a pass.

The media personnel quickly snapped some photos, and the flashing lights made my eyes hurt

Joshua's face instantly turned pale. The veins on his hands that were resting on the table bulged.

I kept my composure and smiled gently as I watched everything that was happening while glancing at Mia. The smile on her face grew even brighter as people hurried to leave.

The contrast between Mia's confident smile and Joshua's stern expression was stark.

Finally, she looked at me and smiled. "It's time for you to leave, Chloe. Echelon Group will see a change in ownership today, but you definitely have no chance of winning. Look, you've seen it already!"

"How do you know?" I asked, but my question seemed forced.

"I own all of the shares of everyone who left, including Gilbert Peterson, the second-largest shareholder. He transferred his shares of Echelon Group to me six months ago. So..." She looked at me arrogantly. "I am now the second largest shareholder in Echelon Group!"

A fist slammed on the table with a bang. "What a bunch of scoundrels!"

Joshua couldn't bear it any longer and cursed angrily.

Mia looked at Joshua. "You can sell your shares to me too. I can increase your share value by two points according to the market value, no problem!" With a stiff neck and a face full of anger, Joshua retorted without any gentlemanly demeanor, "Don't even think about it! I won't collaborate with you if you act like this. I won't sell the shares, even if they're devalued!"

"Don't be so impulsive, Mr. Joshua." Mia raised her voice and looked at Joshua with a sly smile. "I'll definitely take over Echelon. I have the money! Next, I'll restructure the funds. You may not be the largest shareholder anymore then, Mr. Joshua," she threatened Joshua with a smile.

Joshua looked at her. "You're cunning, Miss Mia! Looks like you're resorting to force!"

"Don't get angry, Mr. Joshua. They

want to sell, and I want to acquire. It's fair and reasonable. What do you е mean I'm resorting to force? You need to be more careful about what you say." Mia turned to face Joshua with an odd expression on her face and a cold spark in her eyes.

I had to admit that I was seeing a different side of Mia.

Joshua's face turned purple with anger, and his lips trembled incessantly.

Mia ignored his response and gazed at me, the one witnessing the show.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Chloe, but I only have the right to speak here now. Echelon Group... is not for sale!" She said each word firmly to me.

I put away my smile, sat up straight, and looked around the large conference room.

Joshua was sitting in the middle of a long conference table. He was already becoming a mere figurehead. He seemed powerless.

"You should be more generous, Mia.

After all, Mr. Joshua is the mainstay of Echelon Group. He's a senior figure with three decades of experience and holds a managerial position higher than ten thousand

other people. He's kept Echelon

going during difficult timchelo

especially when Atticus

disappeared. You might have the

upper hand, but you shouldn't treat a major shareholder like this." I spoke softly with the demeanor of a

bystander to Mia.

"Are you sure you won't leave a single old person behind after you take over? The biggest advantage of having an elder figure like Mr. Joshua is that he understands company. He's the core and anchor of the company."

Joshua looked at me, his eyes red from my remarks.

"You shouldn't be too eager for success, Mia. This is something you need to learn. You may not get what you want even if you go all in."Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Mia calmed down and suppressed her dominance.

After a moment, she spoke again. "I'll decide how to manage my company, Ms. Chloe. It's not up to you! Please leave and go home to take care of your pregnancy."

She issued an order for me to leave once again.
