Chapter: 395
Back then, he had to appoint Theodore as the CEO in order to save the Anderson.
Group. The company eventually got back on its feet, and continued to flourish to this day. But it was difficult to kick Theodore out.
All of the Anderson Group shareholders were selfish and ungrateful. Realizing that Theodore was able to make tons of money, they gradually turned on Darian and completely ignored that he was the real boss.
Darian had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Finally, Theodore was disabled and unable to properly manage the company. Darian even convinced a few shareholders to take Theodore down. Regardless, this shareholders' meeting needed to come up with a final decision.
Darian needed more than half of the shareholders to vote in favor of Theodore's dismissal. As for the 30% of shares, he'd find a way to slowly but surely retrieve them. To ensure that he secured more than half of the shareholders to side with him, Darian needed to give some of his shares to Jasper and make him a shareholder.
Theodore calmly moved to one of the empty seats on the side, absolutely silent. He had a rough idea of what would happen next, so he decided to have a front row seat to the show.
Darian presided over the meeting. He went straight to the point and declared, “Theodore, you now have a leg problem. You're not in good health and you no longer have the energy to properly manage the company. It's about time you retire at home."
Theodore sat lazily in his seat and smiled casually.
"What if I say no?"
Darian sighed.
"Then we follow the procedure. Let's all vote.”
At this point, Darian didn't try to hide his intentions anymore. Theodore wasn't surprised at all as he nonchalantly looked at all the shareholders present. Those who raised their hands didn't dare to look him in the eye. Instead, they lowered their heads and raised their hands in silent agreement.
As expected, half of the shareholders raised their hands. Counting in Jasper, Darian had obtained the majority of the votes. His eyes sparkled with joy. He was full of determination to win this time.
Meanwhile, Jasper could hardly retain his composure. He sneered at Theodore and asked, "Are you happy now? You wouldn't have found yourself in such an awkward position if you had just left earlier."
‘Theodore remained silent, as if he didn't care about the final decision at all.
“It's fine. It'll be great just waiting at home all day until the money arrives. Why do you bother keeping yourself busy and ending up being a cripple?” Darian asked, failing miserably at pretending to be a caring father.
"In that case, let's unveil the final decision and make it official." Jasper couldn't wait. He would love to see Theodore defeated.
“Then let's announce it," Darian hinted at his assistant.
But at that moment, the door suddenly flew open as a beaming man walked through it. To everyone's surprise, it was the vice president of the BRD Group, Adrian.
"Wait a minute. I haven't voted yet.”
