Chapter: 398
“Why are you so angry, Mr. Anderson?" Adrian said with a sigh. He sat up straight and rested one arm on the table while continuing calmly, "Since I'm also a shareholder, I have the right to vote too. Based on the company's previous performance, I'd prefer Theodore to be the CEO. Although his legs haven't recovered yet, I don't think it will hinder his abilities."
“Haven't recovered? Do you think he can recover?" Darian said sarcastically.
Adrian raised an eyebrow and turned to Theodore, who had been quiet the entire time.
"So, you can never stand up again? Is it really that serious?" he asked despite knowing the answer.
‘Theodore glanced at him coldly and didn't bother to reply.
"Okay, but even so, I still prefer Theodore," Adrian said as he touched his chin, pretending to be distressed.
Darian almost flared up and cried as he tried to control his temper, "You mean you are against the dismissal? In that case, we can call it even. This meeting is over for now."
Darian felt very tense and couldn't bear to stay any longer. He feared more trouble might arise if Adrian kept dwelling on the matter.
However, Adrian was not finished. He stood up and interrupted, "You're too impatient, Mr. Anderson. I'm not done yet."
“What else do you have to say?" Darian asked as he looked at him warily.
“Please, sit down." Adrian pulled Darian to his seat and said lightly, "I'm not here just to vote. Also, I didn't say that I only own 5% of the shares."
Darian narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Adrian snapped his fingers at his lawyer, and the lawyer took out a document and put it in front of Darian. Adrian then pretended to look apologetic and said, "I forgot to mention that Theodore had sold all of his shares to me a few days ago. That was
30%. So I should have 35% of the total shares now. If my memory serves me right, we have the same percentage of shares, right?"
Darian flew into a rage and pounded the table.
"Theodore, are you crazy? This company belongs to the Andersons. How could you sell your shares to an outsider?”
Theodore ignored him and said politely, "Mr. Perkins, you might be unaware, but my father had just given 3% of the shares to my brother, Jasper. So now, he only holds 32% of the shares. You are the biggest shareholder now. You can fight for the chairman's position."
Darian went berserk. He pointed at Theodore and scolded, "You bastard!"
Adrian's face immediately changed, and he said, "You seem to have some trouble controlling yourself, Mr. Darian Anderson. I'm afraid you are not suitable to manage the Anderson Group. Now that I am the biggest shareholder here, I'd like to propose a change in our company's chairman."
He glanced around the room smugly as he continued, "Now it's time to choose.
