“Silvia, thank you.”
“I’m not doing this for you. Don’t forget that I’m also a Remus Corporation shareholder. 1 don’t want the company to lose these talented employees,” she said indiffere
The elevator doors opened once she finished speaking.
Silvia walked in and frowned when she noticed that Neil was still standing outside. “What are you doing? Come in.”
Nell’s gaze darkened. He entered the elevator and stood beside her in silence.
They soon reached the top floor. Liam’s secretary was shocked when he saw Silvia and Neil walk out of the elevator. He quickly blocked their way.
“Miss Pond, the president is busy. He might not have time to meet you right now.”
Silvia calmly said, “I’m here as a shareholder of Remus Corporation. I want an explanation for Liam’s unfair termination of several managers.”
The secretary was briefly stunned. He frowned and said, “Please hold on, Miss Pond.”
After that, he hurried to the office.
It did not take long for him to come back out. “Miss Pond, Mr. Remus, the president will see both of you now.”
Silvia opened the door and walked in. She frowned the moment she saw the decor. The office had undergone a complete transformation. Unlike the previously understated decor, it was now filled with
many opulent and exquisite collectibles and furniture.
Liam sat at his desk and smiled when he saw them.
“Miss Pond, I heard that you’re one of the company’s shareholders. Do you have the stock certificate?”
Silvia calmly responded, “My secretary is on the way with a copy. For now, let’s discuss your unfair termination of several experienced managers.”
Liam cocked an eyebrow in surprise. He shifted his gaze to Neil, who was standing behind Silvia with a cold expression. “Neil, have you gotten to a point where you need a woman’s help?”
Neil was unperturbed. “Don’t change the subject. According to Remus Corporation’s policy, dismissing employees at the manager level or above requires approval from the board of directors.”
Liam sneered. “You only have ten percent of the company’s shares, and the other NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
shareholders won’t be on your side. Even if we hold a board meeting, the results will be the same. Why bother with all this trouble?”
“Whether it’s trouble or not, it’s not for you to decide.”
Liam’s gaze turned cold, and he said with mockery, “Alright. You’ll see who really holds the power in Remus Corporation now.”

He dialed the internal line and instructed his secretary to notify all directors of a meeting in half an hour.
Shortly after, Joe sent the stock certificate to Silvia.
Liam was furious when he discovered that Abalene had indeed given Silvia ten percent of Remus Corporation’s shares.
Even though he was a Remus, Abalene had refused to give him half of her shares. Yet, she generously gave an outsider ten percent. It was infuriating!
Even so, they only had a combined twenty percent of shares. As long as most of the board of directors sided with him, Neil and Silvia would have no chance of winning.
Liam tossed the stock certificate on the desk with a scoff and said, “It’s just ten percent. I don’t even care.”
Silvia asked Joe to retrieve the stock certificate and calmly looked at Liam. “Don’t underestimate it, Mr. Remus.”
He did not take her words seriously. “I guess you won’t admit defeat unless you try.”
Half an hour later, they gathered in Remus Corporation’s largest conference room. Liam sat at the head of the table with a smile and said, “It appears that the former president has some complaints. He’s not happy with my decision to dismiss a few managers who refused to follow the company’s arrangements. So, I’ve gathered everyone here today for a vote on whether these managers should be fired. Let’s begin the voting.
“There’s a voting screen in front of each shareholder. Cast your vote anonymously by pressing the green button to agree or the red button to disagree with the dismissal.” In less than three minutes, the results were out.
When Liam saw the voting results on the large screen, a smug smile appeared on his face.
