“I know you’re all hoping to take over the company while my husband isn’t here, but I

suggest you all save it. The company will remain the Holdens’ as long as I’m here!”

Corinne’s words made everyone speechless. As unwilling as they were to accept her

authority, staying silent was their best choice.

After all, reasons were not on their side. Corinne was right. Even if Jeremy was not around

anymore, it would be the twins who would take over the company instead of the

shareholders.

The meeting continued on for another hour and a half with Corinne providing her business

insights as usual. As much as the cunning shareholders were not willing to accept a

woman as their president, they had to admit that Corinne was capable, logical, and well-

versed in the intricacies of running a company.

After the meeting ended, Corinne went back to her office to continue her work.

Francine, who worked as her secretary, immediately followed her into the office when she

saw her coming back from the meeting.

“How was the meeting? Did those old foxes cause you any trouble?” asked Francine.

Corinne sat down and opened a bottle of mineral water, taking a sip before raising her

eyebrow at Francine. “What do you think?”

Francine pouted. “I’m pretty sure they did. After all, those old farts have been vying to

take over the company for the longest time, and they would’ve succeeded if it weren’t for

Jeremy.”

This was not Corinne’s first time running a company. After all, she founded Newmoon

Group single-handedly, but after that, she gave up the reins to Aaron and Xante.

To her, it was easier running a new company since there was less office politics. The only

thing she needed to do was to bring in sales and keep market risks at a minimum.

As a matter of fact, the longer a company had been around, the more office politics there

would be. Thus, even Corinne had to admit that it had taken a lot out of her to deal with

the shareholders. Having said that, she was quite pleased with the overall success of the

meeting since the shareholders approved all of her plans at the end of the meeting.

Actually, after Jeremy vanished, Greg picked up his old mantle and went back to running

the company. He kept it up for three years until the doctor advised him to stop working

due to his ill health. It was just as well since he felt like he was about to drop dead at any

time.

Thus, Greg called Corinne into his study and told her to run the company until Jeremy

came back or…until the twins had grown old enough to succeed Jeremy.

Even though Greg did not like Corinne before, he came to know her character and

capability after living together under the same roof. Hence, he was not worried about her

running the company into the ground.

Initially, Corinne was reluctant to have anything to do with Holden Group, but Greg’s

health was failing at an alarming rate, and the shareholders were all vying for a piece of

the company as though they could not wait to swallow it whole. Thus, she had no choice

but to agree to Greg’s request.

At the same time, Francine—who just graduated from university—was employed to work

as Corinne’s secretary. She did not really have to do much except to keep an eye on all the

sneaky shareholders to see if they were pulling any shady strings behind the Holdens’

backs.

“Corinne. What are you thinking about?” asked Francine with a tilt of her head when she

realized Corinne was staring blankly at no particular point in the room.
