The gaze of everyone present turned to Oliver.
Oliver only fixed his eyes on Alice, however, there was no response, Alice was shuffling the documents in front of her inattentively. Her cold attitude lit the fire of fury in Oliver’s heart.
Just by this alone, did she begin to annoy him, even hate him?
What would happen if he kept doing what he had brought up?
-Like what they think, they think I’m not competent? Actually, compared to Kennedy Moore, as his younger brother, I know I am not capable. However, I have gained many experiences over the years, and now, you can’t stop managing Moore Group without Kennedy, and from your angle, his strengths are not equal to your desires. Therefore, I wanted to request to act for the president and have no plans to replace him. Please make no mistake,” said Oliver.
His words were sincere.
However, Manuel ignored him, and grimaced in disdain.
-You think of us as children, you only say the nice things.
Nathan Secada nodded his head and said, “I agree with Manuel, are you acting for the president? Nonsense, everyone knows the contradiction between the vice president and Kennedy. Oh, no… you are no longer Vice President Oliver, a few years earlier, you left the Moore Group.
-You!
Oliver didn’t think he had spoken so harshly, he had an angry look on his face.
Leonardo said energetically, -Bold, you are a lowly assistant, how can you talk like that? -and then, he looked at Alice and abronted- Who allows you to occupy that position? Are you Kennedy’s wife or not, the truth is that you don’t have the right to replace him.
-Yes, you don’t have any real power, even though you are his wife, it is not reasonable for you to manage everything in Kennedy’s place.
Everyone protested, in that situation, Alice realized that she should put the documents on the table, she said with a smile on her lips, -If I have shares of Moore Group in hand?
-How?” they all exclaimed.
They remained with their mouths open, they asked him, -Why do you have it?
-Did Kennedy give it to him?” they all thought.
Oliver’s color changed, and he narrowed his eyes vigilantly.
He hadn’t thought about that problem, he believed it wasn’t Kennedy’s style, yes, he liked Alice, but it wasn’t so much to give the stock to her.
All the more reason, the wedding had not yet taken place, how could he willingly pass them on to Alice?
-It doesn’t matter whether he had given you the shares or not, all of us present have it, but it doesn’t mean that all of us can replace him to occupy that position,” said one of those present.
Lowering her head, Alice passed the documents to Manuel, who was closest to her left, while Nathan appeared between Alice and Manuel in a timely manner.
Manuel thought it was the transfer of shares, at first, he thought that if Kennedy wanted to transfer them to her, it would only be a little. However, after looking at everything, he was amazed and opened his eyes wide.
Driven by curiosity, all the people turned their eyes to him, and were eager to know what the contents of the contract were.
-Well…” Manuel said.
He closed the contract and handed it back to Alice, and then stood up and bowed his head to her, he said sincerely, -Yes, you have the right to take the position directly.
All the people were astonished, -What?
“What, is it your illusion?”
“Kennedy transferred all his shares to Alice?”
“What is that? How is that possible?” they all thought.
– “Are they lies? have you seen what happened in Kennedy, that’s why you say like that, right? Kennedy passed away, and the dead man doesn’t speak, right?”- a person who were next to Manuel suddenly stood up, and said with strong emotional tension.
He did not know which was the one of the words that would have angered Alice, he raised his eyes and fixed his gaze on that person aggressively, and asked with a cold tone, -Who says that Kennedy passed away?
Those people were scared by a strong aura of the woman before him, and he stammered, -Well… the plane crash is true, isn’t it?
Alice rose from her seat, and said in a low voice, -There is a survivor, haven’t you seen him? have you heard the official statement of his death? if not, how can you say the nonsense? if you say anything about death again, I will charge you with slander and personalities.
When he had heard this, he closed his mouth. The person behind his back reminded him with his arms, and then he left in despair.
When Nathan saw this, he silently appreciated Alice’s action in his heart.
He admired her behavior very much.
Alice looked around, and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, I am now the most powerful shareholder in the Moore Group, I will replace Kennedy for the period he has not yet returned. As of today, all predecessors, please do me a favor and advise me on the business of running the company.
Everyone present was a bad bitch, they knew Oliver’s objective, clearly, he had invited Leonardo. The people who did not state their positions and who expressed their support carelessly were contemplating the fight of both parties without intervening in it.
Hearing the words, Abán stood up to speak for her, -Although there was no woman occupying the position of president of the group, well…. Kennedy is not yet back, there is no choice. Since that is so, act for Kennedy until he returns, Alice.
Abánwas with Alice from the beginning, so he had a consideration for him, and he said softly, -Thank you, Abán, but I am not very experienced, and I am not very well suited for that position, so… I offer to serve as vice-president, as for the position of president, let’s leave it vacant until Kennedy returns.
-Agreed,” said Abán.
-Who is still in doubt about my identity, I could discuss it with my lawyer,” said Alice.
Everyone was silent. Leonardo suddenly banged the table, said with thermal energy, “Shut up! is it so easy to deliver the Moore Group in the hand of a woman who is not part of our family? are you clueless?
Manuel turned his gaze to Leonardo, and asked, “Like what I thought, didn’t we hand the company over to the people who have the most shares instead of a person who was expelled from the group?
Leonardo said, -If Kennedy’s death is true, of course, the shares?
Nathan quickly added, “Don’t worry about Kennedy, Leonardo, everything is under control. You should take good care of him in the sanatorium. In this period, I don’t think it’s appropriate to invite Leonardo to speak for you, Oliver, is it?
Everyone present understood the mockery, Manuel turned his head, and pretended not to hear him.
Manuel kept his mouth shut, although he wanted to help Óliver.
The proxy war was over without beginning.
