Obsessed With Her Novel by Master Momo (Chapters 321, 322, 323, 324, 325, 326, 327, 328, 329, 330)  

Chapter 321

Jessica felt nonplussed when the electricity went out in her room.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

She opened the door to see a delivery man. “How may I help you?”

“Are you Jessica?”

“Yes, I am.”

He pointed at the bedding sets behind him and said, “These are the items that you have ordered.”

It can’t be! Not again!

She immediately called Charles after the deliveryman left. At that moment, Charles was in a video conference. When his phone rang, he glanced at the caller ID and said, “We’ll take a ten-minute break.”

The senior executives on the call watched as he left to answer his phone.

“What’s wrong?”

“Charles, I appreciate your generosity. You don’t have to send me any more items. I might not have a place to sleep if you keep sending things over.”

Charles chuckled. “Is the bedding set occupying a lot of space? You can consider moving out if the room is too small.”

Jessica was shocked.

“You weren’t the one who sent me the home appliances?” she asked.

“No, it wasn’t me.”

Who could have sent them?

“You’ll be sitting for your SAT in a month. You better get some rest. Let me know if the bedding set is uncomfortable.”

“All right. Thanks, Charles.”

She could not understand why Charles kept denying that he sent the items.

Just then, she received a text message from Daisy.

Daisy texted: Jess, did you like the home appliances that I sent you? I chose the most expensive one for you. If you don’t like it, I’ll have it changed for you.

So it was Daisy who sent them.

Jessica was baffled.

Jessica texted: My room is too small. I won’t be able to use the home appliances. You can take it away tomorrow.

Daisy texted: Sob! Did I cause you any trouble?

Jessica texted: It’s all right.

As they continued chatting, Jessica decided to keep some of the home appliances and return the rest.

Daisy texted: Actually, there’s some space in your house. You can leave the appliances there in case you want to use them next time. I didn’t spend a dime because the electrical supply store belongs to my family.

Jessica was speechless.

She’s a spendthrift!

Jessica texted: You can say stuff like this to me, but not to other people. You’ll get scolded.

Daisy heaved a sigh of relief when Jessica joked with her. She was afraid that Jessica would be upset.

After all, Jessica was devastated when she thought that she had finally found her biological parents. In the end, it was just false hope.

Even though Jessica looked calm, they knew that she was still sad.

After ending the call with Daisy, Jessica smiled.

She could feel the warmth and care that Daisy gave her. She enjoyed the feeling.

Initially, she had planned to revise her work, but a thought came to her mind. She picked up her mobile phone to type a text message.

स

Meanwhile, in the VIP lounge of a famous restaurant in Marsingfill, Hugh opened a text message on his personal mobile phone.

Jessica texted: Thank you! Brickton Corporation will not disappoint you.

Hugh broke into a grin.

The man in front of him was surprised.

He was curious about the message that made Hugh so elated.

Chapter 322

Hugh started typing his reply after giving it a thought. Hugh texted: You’re welcome. You deserve it.

His eyebrows furrowed. He proceeded to delete the sentence.

Then, he started typing a new sentence.

After making sure that there was no error, he sent the message.

Hugh texted: You’re welcome.

Jessica threw her mobile phone onto the table after reading Hugh’s reply. She prepared the bedding set and tidied up her room.

She did not know that Hugh had given the message a long thought. He thought that Jessica would send him a reply, but there was no response from her.

After a busy night, Jessica finally went to bed. The bedding set that Charles chose is very comfortable. They are even better than the ones at the Larson residence.

Even though she did not have a luxurious or spacious room, she felt warmth and comfort.

In the small, dilapidated room, her heart was brimming with love from her friends.

She could finally sleep at ease.

Ever since she returned, that was the first night that she slept well.

The next day, she sat up on her bed and glanced at her clock. It was already 7 a.m.

Shit! I’m going to be late!

She immediately got out of bed to wash up.

She hurriedly took her handbag and headed downstairs.

Just as she exited the stairwell, she saw two young girls standing under a tree.

They waved at her.

The sunlight shone on them, and the bright smiles on their faces brought warmth to her heart.

“Good morning, Jess.”

They approached and stood beside her.

“The three of us will be taking the bus to school today. Are you excited?” asked Daisy cheekily.

“Of course.”

“You’ll have to lead the way because we’re not familiar with the roads here. Let’s go. We’re going to be late,” said

Samantha.

Smiling, Jessica responded, “The bus will be arriving at the bus stop in three minutes. It’ll take us five minutes to walk to the bus stop. We’ll have to…”

“Run!”

Samantha and Daisy took off instantly, leaving Jessica behind. She chuckled and quickly ran after them.

Nearby, a black Rolls-Royce was parked by the roadside. The man inside the car watched as the sunlight shone on the three young girls. He could not help but smile.

“Let’s go,” instructed Charles.

The car slowly sped away.

After the third day of financing, Jessica finally received the transaction in her bank account. Her eyes shone with excitement.

The game ends here!

She sent the video that she had prepared earlier to the mass media.

The video was titled The Rich Man’s Immoral Act for Money.

That shocking header would instantly attract the attention of the netizens.

Initially, they thought that it was either a rich woman or vice versa.

However, they had never expected it to be a rich man together with another man.

The netizens were appalled and disgusted to the point of throwing up.

Yet, they continued sharing the video with their friends.

Soon, the video became viral on the Internet.

Chapter 323

The netizens definitely won’t let off the truth.

Soon, the news that the Larson Group’s Chairman sacrificed himself in his fifties to get remuneration had made a big splash on the internet.

James became famous overnight. He was the subject of all gossip.

Along with James, the Larson Group in Horington was also famous because of him.

Everyone knew that the Larson Group was going bankrupt. If not, he won’t sacrifice himself to fulfill that plutocrat’s quirk.

The stockholders sparked a sell-off and withdrew their shares. Some minority stockholders on the Board of Directors also sold their stocks. The intense sell-off caused the stock price to slump and hit its limit within an hour.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The smashing sound from the Chairman’s office was loud and clear and could be heard by the people outside the office.

James came out of his office with a sullen face. All the workers lowered their heads, trying to reduce their presence.

After he left, everyone started to gossip.

“I didn’t expect Mr. Larson to be so desperate.”

“I heard someone say that Mr. Larson is a homosexual.”

“Have you seen the video?”

“Of course, I did.”

They exchanged a meaningful look.

“Imagine a serious man like Mr. Larson giving himself to that fat guy…” The employee said with a disgusted face.

“You’re not alone. I have the same feeling. It keeps coming to my mind whenever I see Mr. Larson. I can’t even look at him.”

One of the workers asked, “Since the company is about to close down, should I start looking for a new job?”

“Right, I should start looking for jobs,” the other one agreed. “So am I.”

They stopped gossiping and started looking for jobs.

The issues and scandals caused the workers to be on tenterhooks.

None of them had the mood to work. They were busy doing their own stuff and finding jobs.

James wanted to delete the video posted online, but it was too late. It is impossible to remove the video completely as people have downloaded it.

Just when James walked out of the private elevator, he met a few directors.

They scorned and despised James.

One of the directors, Bradley Horsecroft, said, “Mr. Larson, there are many ways to get money. Why do you have to choose that way? What are we supposed to do if anything bad happens to you?”

James’ face turned livid with rage.

Fuck! They think I’m a slut!

“I dare you to say that again!” James was so mad that he rushed toward the man.

The other two directors stopped him. “Chill, James. You know his personality.”

Bradley was also pissed. He snapped, “If you’re afraid of people talking about your dirty shits, then don’t do it. Don’t tell me you do have that kind of hobby.”

“Don’t you dare repeat that!” James was livid.

Chapter 324

“What’s the matter? You kinky freak!” Bradley added, “Don’t go near him, or he might have some dirty thoughts of you.” When he said that, the two directors who stopped James quickly let go of his hands and kept a distance from him. James looked at them and laughed. “Great!”

He got in the car and drove away.

“Bradley, remember what we are here for. We need him for our stocks.”

Bradley sighed and said, “Oh yes, I forgot about that. Don’t worry. James won’t let the Larson Group go belly-up. He has more shares than us.”

As they went their separate ways, Bradley wiped the smile off his face and called Jessica. “Ms. Jessica, I agree to sell you my shares. Could we further discuss the price?”

Jessica leaned against the trunk and replied at a snail’s pace. “Mr. Horsecroft, we both know that the Larson Group’s stocks will drop drastically. Do you think the price that you proposed is reasonable? The price that I offer is above the average price.”

The price that she offers is not even half of the market price. I would have asked her to get lost if I wasn’t eager to offload the shares.

“The price is too low. Perhaps a higher price?”

Jessica sneered, “Trust me, Mr. Horsecroft, just one more week, no, within five days, the stock price will continue to plummet. By that time, your shares won’t be worth a penny.”

Bradley asked, “Then why do you want to acquire the Larson family’s stocks?”

If I’m not mistaken, this girl has been the Larson Group’s daughter for almost a year. Although everyone knows that’s a misunderstanding, I still don’t understand why she wants to purchase their shares.

“Mr. Horsecroft, I didn’t want to hold out on you. The Larson family and I have a feud. It’s simple. I want the Larson family to be destroyed. Of course, if you don’t want to sell your shares, I won’t force you. Destroying the Larson Group is the same as acquiring it,” Jessica replied.

Bradley felt her determination and realized why the Young family and the Ferguson family didn’t lend a helping hand to the Larson family.

I don’t believe that a young girl like her would have that huge amount of money. She must have gotten it from the Young family and the Ferguson family.offered.”

“All right, my attorney will sign the contract with you tonight.”

She ended the conversation and picked up the call from another director.

Her phone did not stop ringing till late at night.

Jessica checked her book, and one by one, she crossed out the directors’ names.

It has procured 28 percent of shares from the directors and 3 percent from Robert. Now I have 31 percent of shares in total. The Larson Group also has 31 percent shares, and they have the power to make decisions. It’s still not enough. I need to keep buying the odd lots.

Chapter 325

Jessica had spent most of her money on purchasing the stocks of Larson Group in just a few days. Yet, the stock price was still dropping significantly.

This is too monstrous! I’ve already spent millions in the stock market and now I’m almost broke. It’s my fault for underestimating the Larson family.

Staring at the monitor displaying the timely updated status of the stock market, she noticed a stock whose price was slowly increasing.

Jessica immediately started collecting information regarding that stock. She finally found out that the Berton Group in Moranta was acquiring the South Chanaea Group. The news was released as gossip by an insignificant website that nobody would pay much attention to.

Regardless, Jessica had been analyzing that stock for the whole night.

When the first ray of sunlight shone on her desk, she let out a sigh of relief and stretched lazily.

Her intuition told her that the stock would be a rising star. However, she was not confident about it, as she had not lived through her previous life to verify the news.

She had searched her memories from her previous life, but she could not recall any information about the stock.

That stock was so important to her because she had previously invested 15 million dollars in it.

Jessica took out her phone and checked the screen. It was showing the time of 6:30 a.m.

After the opening of the stock market, the stock of South Chanaea Group rose drastically compared to the day before.

Two stocks had garnered everyone’s attention.

One was the stock of Larson Group, showing a sharp decline in its values. Meanwhile, another one was the stock of South Chanaea Group, showing no sign of stopping its stealthy increase.

Jessica’s 15 million dollars had paid off.

It has quadrupled from its original value and is expected to increase further.

Despite her sweet recovery from the loss, things did not go smoothly for the Larson family.

Due to the reporters crowding outside the house, James could only stay at home, as he was embarrassed to head out.

“Mr. Larson, Mr. Horsecroft and the others have sold the stocks on their hands.”

“Who’s the buyer?” James asked.

“I’ve looked into it. So far, it is still unknown,” Tyrone answered.

Based on the current situation, the buyer is trying to steal Mr. Larson’s ownership of the Larson Group. No, he’s aiming at Mr. Larson himself.

“Keep investigating it. I must know the identity of the buyer.”

We can’t stay still anymore. I must find out who is the person behind all of this.

“Yes!”

After instructing his secretary, his phone rang. He signaled for Tyrone to leave and headed to the balcony to answer the call.

“Mr. Finley, what brings you to call me yourself today?” James greeted.

“Mr. Larson, you know why. My superior was going to check on the loan. I found out that you haven’t paid for the interest. I’m calling you to remind you about it,” Cole said. James’ face darkened while maintaining a peaceful tone.” Don’t you worry? I’ll send you the payment in two days.”

“Mr. Larson, we’re old acquaintances, so I don’t want to keep secrets from you. The higher-ups are watchful about this loan. They might inspect the loan without me. You have to think in my shoes.”

Against Cole’s threatening pressure, James pleaded, “Mr. Finley, please give me two more days. I’ll send the money immediately after dealing with my matters.”

Chapter 326

Cole persisted, “Mr. Larson, please don’t give me a hard time. Your matters can be dealt with afterward, but mine can’t. Since I’m not an unreasonable man, I’ll let you send me the money before tomorrow evening.”

James understood that Cole was forcing him to take his money out upon hearing that.

“All right.”

He tossed his phone hard onto the floor after he hung up.

He has gone too far!

James tried calling his friends, but none of them were

willing to lend him their help.

Julianna entered the study and noticed his foul mood. She then said cautiously, “Honey, it’s lunchtime.”

He turned around and glared daggers at her.

“Julianna, call your brother and ask how much money he has on his hands now. I need to borrow some money. It won’t be much, just 5 million dollars.”

Julianna reluctantly nodded her head, as she dared not to refuse his order after looking at his expression.

I

“Okay, Honey. Should I get the servant to bring your meal here?”

James waved his hand in irritation.

She then left the study, saying nothing further.

Half an hour later, James came to the living room. He walked toward the dining room upon hearing the noise from there.

When he saw three people enjoying their lunch in the dining room, his face darkened.

He walked toward them in anger.

When Julianna and the others saw him, they held back their laugh.

“Honey, you’re here. Mrs. Wallace, prepare another serving.”

James looked at her. “Have you asked?”

She replied awkwardly with her face stiffened, “No. I was going to ask after lunch.”

She still has the appetite to eat at this time.

He swept the cutleries in front of her to the ground. The shattering sound echoed in the dining room. Everyone present was petrified.

“Honey…”

Slap!

Julianna was slapped by James in the face before she could finish her words.

She covered her face with an aggrieved look.

“Can’t you see that I don’t have the time to wait for you to finish eating? If Larson Group goes down, you have nothing to eat or spend.”

The rage and embarrassment that he had suppressed for a long time finally exploded in front of her, as he could not vent his emotions to the outsiders.

Clatter!

The plates of food on the table were swept to the ground by him.

Scared, Whitney hid behind Zachary subconsciously.

Seeing the fear in her eyes, Zachary refuted, “Dad, what are you doing? Do you want us to starve?”

James was furious upon hearing his son’s reasoning.

What a damn son!

The infuriated James could only point his finger at his son.

“Call your brother right now!”

Julianna did not dare to delay any longer. She then immediately dialed Joseph’s number. However, all of her five calls were not answered.

Everyone then knew the meaning behind Joseph’s action.

“Honey, don’t worry. Perhaps Joseph is probably busy at the moment. I’ll continue calling him.”

Her calls were not answered even till midnight.

“Your family is so selfish. Who was the one who helped the Quail family when they were crumbling? I just want to ask for help, yet they don’t even answer our calls. You and your family are ungrateful for everything I’ve given to you!”

Chapter 327

“Honey, I’ll go and find Joseph tomorrow.”

James remained quiet, giving Julianna permission to do so.

“Tyrone, how much money do we have in the company’s account?” James asked over the phone.

“Mr. Larson, I’ve asked the staff to tabulate overnight. There are only 750 thousand dollars left.”

“What? Only 750 thousand dollars left?!” James was in disbelief.

“Yes. There’re only 750 thousand dollars left. We managed to collect that amount after merging the accounts of all the companies under Larson Group. When we were doing the bookkeeping, we found out that a huge sum of money had been transferred by your brother to a foreign bank account.” “That bastard!” James gritted his teeth in fury.

He was unaware that it was just the beginning of his nightmare.

The next morning, the police came to James and asked, ” Are you Mr. James Larson?”

“Yes, I am. How may I help you?”

“We’ve received a report. You’re suspected of tax evasion. Please come with us and cooperate in our investigation.”

The reporters, who had been waiting since the day before, took photos of him being arrested by the police.

Larson Group was once again in chaos.

The bank requested the company’s bookkeeping record. The shareholders came and demanded an explanation.

Larson Group was plagued with greedy and selfish shareholders.

It would be hard for James to be released, as it was true that he had committed those crimes.

Hence, Zachary, the only son of the Larson family, had to join the shareholders’ meeting.

On the way to Larson Group, Julianna reminded, “Zachary, those sly foxes will try to seize your father’s power for sure. Don’t let them have any chance. Larson Group is your father’s painstaking effort. You can’t let anyone take it away from him.”

Zachary said with a sullen expression, “Don’t worry. I won’t let those monsters succeed. Nobody shall lay their hands on the Larson Group!”

She patted her son on the shoulder. “Zachary, I believe in you.”

Despite saying so, she was still worried about his performance at the meeting later.

“Mr. Fischer will aid you in the meeting. You can ask him if you have any questions,” she reminded.

“Okay,” Zachary answered nonchalantly.

Whitney said promptly, “Zac, you must listen to Mr. Fischer. He’s the most experienced person in dealing with those shareholders.”

Zachary chuckled. “All right. Got it.”

When the three of them entered Larson Group, they were greeted by the employees.

However, after they were out of the employees’ sight, the group started whispering.

“I’ve heard that the agenda of the shareholders’ meeting this time is to kick the Larson family out of their position.”

“Does that mean that there will be someone taking over the Larson Group?”

“Of course.'”

“Mr. Larson used to be a good boss. However, the directors have been unsatisfied with his performance for the past two years. It’ll be tough for him to protect his position.”

“The Larson family will never let it go that way. The conference room will be a bloody mess.”

Matching what was described by the employees, the atmosphere in the conference room was tense.

Zachary was reprimanded by the directors. Seeing that he was on the brink of losing his temper, Tyrone reminded him in his ears, “Calm down, Mr. Larson Junior. Don’t get angry.”

As Zachary was not refuting their mockeries, the directors went further.

“Mr. Larson Junior, we’re not doubting Mr. Larson’s

leadership. But can’t you see the troubles he has created in these few days?”

“He should retire at his age. After all, doing such a thing will be exhausting.”

The people in the conference room burst into laughter after the director finished his words.

Chapter 328

Bang!

Zachary smashed his fist on the table and glared at the crowd. “Are you done talking? All of you were taking benefits from the Larson family. You turned against us right after my father was in trouble. Even if my father is useless, you all are shameless and wicked! You guys were the ones begging like dogs throughout the years. Have you forgotten about the advantages and dividends that all of you have received? You can’t wait to take over Larson Group when the Larson family is in trouble.”

The directors’ expressions changed instantly.

“Mr. Larson Junior, you’re such a brilliant talker. If your capabilities were only half as good, you wouldn’t spend such a fortune to purchase that small land, bringing your family down,” an old director mocked.

When Zachary was about to retort to that statement, Tyrone stopped him.

“Directors, Mr. Larson is still cooperating in the investigation. If you have any complaints, please wait till he is released.”

“Mr. Fischer, when will it be? Larson Group will meet its doom before he gets out. The shareholders’ meeting today is to select a capable and responsible candidate to preside. That person will turn the tide of the Larson Group.”

“That’s right.”

“We can’t have him preside over Larson Group anymore.”

“Larson Group will always be the victim if Mr. Larson doesn’t resign. This will greatly affect the reputation of the company.”

The old directors spoke again. “I propose dismissing James Larson as the Chairman.”

“I agree.”

“I agree with it.”

“Me too.”

“I support the notion.”

The shareholders who either sided with James or took a neutral stand remained silent.

Zachary became anxious as they were going to dispose of the Larson family. “What right do you have? The Larson family owns 35 percent of the shares. We have the absolute authority to manage the company. You can only chase us out in your dreams!”

At that moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

Everyone turned around and was shocked to see a group of bodyguards in black swarming the conference room.

The bodyguards’ actions were swift; they were exuding a murderous aura.

The shareholders were startled upon seeing that.

The men in black queued up at both sides as if they were waiting for someone respectfully. The atmosphere in the conference room tensed up when they heard clacking footsteps.

An icy cold voice rang out outside the room before the crowd inside the room could see its owner.

“Absolute authority? I highly doubt that!”

A slim figure in a red well-fitted dress appeared in front of the crowd.

She was elegant yet domineering.

Jessica took off her sunglasses and glanced over at the director. She then looked at Zachary, who was sitting at the head of the table.

Zachary and the Larson family were dumbstruck when they saw her.

Zachary was the first who came back to his senses. “We’re having the meeting for the shareholders of Larson Group. An irrelevant person like you shouldn’t come here. Get lost right now!”

Jessica laughed and raised her hand. Jensen, who was standing next to her, handed her a file.

She then hurled the file to the center of the table.

Jensen said, “This document is the share certificate in the name of Larson Group. It proves that my client is qualified and has the right to attend the Larson Group shareholders’ meeting. You have no right to chase her out.”

He spoke his last sentence directly at Zachary.

Chapter 329

Almost every shareholder present was surprised by the situation, as no one had caught wind of the news, especially Zachary himself.

The man was embarrassed and fuming with anger. “Shares? How could you have owned any shares?”

Every shareholder who held the shares is present today. Where else could she have gotten the shares?

Bradley, who had been keeping quiet the whole time, suddenly said, “How embarrassing. I forgot to mention that I already sold off my shares to Ms. Jessica.”

Another shareholder also added, “What a coincidence, I sold off my shares to Ms. Jessica too.”

“Looks like everyone did the same.”

Eventually, more and more shareholders spoke up, and it turned out that more than half of them sold their shares to Jessica.

Only those who were supportive of the Larson family or intended to remain neutral were kept in the dark.

Jessica sat calmly on a chair that her bodyguard brought over. She proudly scanned across the room before landing her gaze at Zachary.

“You intend to have complete control of the company, but I wonder how many shares the Larson family actually owns?”

Tyrone was out of words the moment he saw Jessica step in. He had not known that she was the mysterious person behind all of those share acquisitions.

The color drained from Zachary’s face as he came to a realization.

The Larson family only had 35 percent of the overall share. With more than half of the shareholders selling their shares to Jessica, it was obvious that she was the major shareholder.

Zachary remained silent.

Tyrone muttered, “Ms. Jessica since you’re the major shareholder and coupled with Mr. Larson’s shares, we should just end this meeting here.”

Interrupting his wishful thinking, Jessica replied, “Oh please, Mr. Fischer. I have nothing to do with the Larson family. And speaking of kinship, you should ask Mrs. Larson. She would know best.”

Although not much was said, everyone could tell that they were not on good terms.

Otherwise, why would the Larson family be unaware that Jessica was buying up shares and becoming the major shareholder?

Tyrone looked toward Julianna, who was hesitant at first but finally spoke up. “Jess, you know how well I have been treating you in the past year, right? Why are you turning against us now? James had also been truly kind to you. Have you forgotten about that?”

Jessica silently chuckled as she listened to her speech.

“Mr. Larson was indeed kind to me. Do you remember the time when he brought both his daughters to the cruise party organized by Mr. Wagner? That is a deed I shall always remember. Oh, and speaking of Mr. Wagner, he transferred his shares to me as well.”

Mr. Wagner, cruise party…

Everyone on the spot understood what she meant.

Jessica’s first statement was to expose the heartlessness of James Larson and to let everyone know that in order to achieve his goals, he was willing to sacrifice everything, including his daughters.

The second statement was to show that Robert had suffered a significant loss after their previous encounter. She was also hinting to the other directors that a bigger force was supporting her.

Robert had been successful in his businesses and dealings all the while, as he had someone powerful backing him.

His downfall suggested that there was an even bigger force at play behind Jessica.

However, no one in the room was smart enough to understand the implications.

Feeling the stares from the rest of the directors, Whitney couldn’t help but feel ashamed and anguished.

Chapter 330

Zachary wasn’t aware of the situation regarding Robert or the cruise party, but he could read through the directors’ faces as well as Whitney’s expression.

He wanted to ask what was going on but stopped himself as it was an inappropriate time.

Julianna yelled, “Shut up, Jessica! What nonsense are you blabbering about? If you don’t wish to help the Larson family, so be it. But such despicable means are uncalled for.” Jessica had no intention of getting into an argument. Instead, she took out her phone and made a call using the quick dial. Within seconds, the call was answered.

Robert’s flattering voice could be heard on the other end.” Ms. Jessica, what can I do for you today?”

As he was once a director of the Larson Group, Robert was no stranger to the rest.

Being a supercilious person in nature, watching him belittle himself in front of Jessica had inadvertently made the directors wary of her.

“Did Mr. Larson bring his daughters to the cruise banquet the other day?”

Realizing something was amiss, Julianna rushed over and attempted to snatch the phone away.

Before she could get close, two bodyguards shielded Jessica, not letting Julianna an inch closer.

Robert caught on and cheekily continued, “My God! Mr. Larson had not aged a day, both he and his daughter performed well.”

“Thank you, Mr. Wagner. Have a nice day.”

“You’re welcome, Ms. Jessica.”

The color drained from both Whitney and Julianna’s faces

by the time Jessica hung up the call.

Caught in disbelief, Zachary could only look at them in disgust.

Whitney leaned forward and tried to grab his hand, but Zachary shook her off.

“Zac, it’s not what you think. I’ll explain everything at home.”

“I don’t want to hear it.”

Zachary got up and left.

Right then, he could not bear to stay any longer.

“Hold up.”

Ignoring her call, he continued forward but was immediately held up by the two bodyguards.

“Let me through.”

The bodyguards stared blankly at him.

Zachary turned around and yelled at Jessica, “Ask your men to let me through!”

Jessica smirked and looked at him. “Relax. You may leave after this shareholders’ meeting has ended. Since you are in such a hurry, why don’t we speed it up?”

She stood up, bent forward, and slammed the table. Then she looked at all the shareholders and declared, “Everyone, Mr. Larson had consecutively caused substantial loss to the Larson Group. Plus, he even made the stock price plummet out of his own wrongdoing. So I call for a vote to remove him from his role.”

“We, the Larson family, own up to 35 percent of shares, you know,” Zachary muttered.

Jessica replied in annoyance and condescendence, “Oops, my bad. I forgot to mention that I have 38 percent of shares, which is just slightly more than yours.”

Exceeding by 10 percent or more was perhaps not so frustrating.

But by a mere 3 percent, just that much was exasperating.

Zachary was infuriated, of course.

Ignoring him, Jessica continued, “Anyone who agrees to my proposal, a show of hands, please.”

Shareholders who intended to remain neutral raised their hands; those who were supportive of the Larson family were deep in thought.

Out of the blue, Xenon, who was closest to the Larson family, raised his hand.

His gesture influenced the rest of the shareholders to raise their hands.
