The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 1428

Xante could only say that at the moment as Corinne still looked composed. She feared

that Corinne would have a meltdown if she told her that Jeremy had taken one of the

babies away.

Corinne nodded. “Yes. I’m sure he’s still alive. After all, he came back safe and sound

when everyone said he was killed in the explosion last time. Plus, he promised he’d come

back to me no matter what… My, it’s really kinda chilly here. Guess I’ll go back to my

room to wait for him, then…”

Corinne turned and walked back to her room stiffly as she muttered to herself.

It pained Xante to see Corinne acting so calm. ‘Poor Boss… She still had no idea Mister

Jeremy had somehow come back secretly to steal the baby before he seemingly vanished

into thin air… Might as well. It might be better for her to believe Mister Jeremy died in a

plane crash if we can’t find him or the baby.’

…

Three years later, all the yet the company’s president seat remained empty.

The meeting was set to start at nine o’clock in the morning, and there were still 30

seconds left until the hour hand struck 12.

Suddenly, the double door suddenly opened.

A formally dressed woman came striding in

“Sorry for keeping you all waiting. I see that everyone’s here, so let’s begin the meeting,”

said the woman calmly.

It had been three years since the last shareholder meeting was held in Holden Group. All

the middle-aged shareholders in the room were not happy with a woman president.

Doubting her leadership capability, they threw her one difficult question after another to

throw her off her game.

Corinne had expected that this would happen, so she was unfazed by it all. She leaned

back on her chair and said steadily, “I know you all aren’t happy with me as the president,

but there’s nothing you can do about it. I came to this position through reasonable means,

so if you all have the time to grumble, why not instead discuss what strategies should the

company take to ensure our future success? After all, every one of you here depends on

the company’s success to secure your position, no?”

The elderly shareholder sitting on her right scoffed and said, “Ahem! What does a little girl

like you know about running a company? You Holdens should choose someone from us

shareholders to take over the president position if Mister Jeremy is still missing. It’s really

hard for us to take orders from someone who doesn’t have any shares in the company yet

felt like she deserved to be the president.”

Corinne smiled at the elderly shareholder. “Let me ask you something, then. You all agree

that Jeremy is the president of the company, right? So as his wife, isn’t it justifiable for me

to help him run the company while he’s not here?”

Another shareholder scoffed and questioned her, “Wife? From what we know, you and

Mister Jeremy never registered your marriage. At most, you two are boyfriend and

girlfriend. Therefore, you have no right to take over the company.”

Corinne remained unperturbed. “Even if I’m not legally married to him, both of our kids

are still his successors. Being the mother of his successors gives me the right to sit here.”
