Impending Twist
Ian stepped forward and pulled out the chair at the head of the table.
Neera pushed Jean over and took the vacant spot. Then she stood silently behind him.
The room fell silent, the tension palpable. Everyone was baffled by the situation.
Jean seemed to have not offered any explanations. He just surveyed the room silently. Even in his
visibly weak state, he still had a stern expression. Everyone was stunned by his expression.
“Let’s not waste time,” Jean said coldly. “Let’s begin.”
Clarence couldn’t hold back any longer. He exclaimed, “Jean, you’re acting rather high and mighty,
making everyone wait for you. And now you bring an outsider to a shareholder meeting? This isn’t
some casual gathering! You’re going too far!”
Jean said coldly, “Outsider? Are you referring to yourself, Uncle Clarence? Your words somehow made
sense, because soon you’ll be out of this board.”
Clarence seemed angry and stared at Jean. He said, “Jean, a word of advice. Don’t overstep.
Otherwise, you might just regret it. Today, you’re definitely in for a disappointment.”
Unfazed, Jean retorted, “Is that so? Let’s see who ends up disappointed.”
He turned to the board members and said, “Raise your hand if you agree with removing Clarence
from the board.”
A moment of tension followed, and everyone fell silent.
After that, the voting began. There were supporters on both sides.
Soon, those loyal to Frederic and Jean raised their hands without hesitation.
Out of the 23 board members, nine were firmly on Jean’s side. Clarence had seven supporters,
while the remaining seven were neutral.
After the first nine raised their hands, two neutrals silently raised theirs, siding with Jean, making it
eleven for him.
The remaining four hesitated.
After a few more moments, Frederic’s face turned gloomy. I knew three of the four were known to be
fickle, always trying to please everyone. But Peter should not be on Clarence’s side! Why is he also
hesitating?
Frederic stood up abruptly and said, “So, by not raising your hands, are you supporting Clarence’s
stay?”
Upon hearing this, their faces varied in reaction. The three were clearly under pressure, as they did not
want to oppose the company leader, but Clarence had some secrets for them; they felt trapped
and lost.
Facing Frederic’s gloomy face, they said, “Mr. Frederic, we’re all in this together, like a family. Why
make it so unpleasant?”
“Mr. Clarence has given a lot to the company over the years. Yes, he made mistakes, but he’s
contributed too. It is not necessary to kick him out!”
“Yes, why not downplay the issue and deal with it internally?
They quickly lowered their eyes and remained silent.
It was clear. They wanted Clarence to stay.
Frederic’s face darkened even more. He turned to Peter and asked, “And you? Are you against
removing Clarence from the board by not raising your hand?”
Peter looked weighed down and hopeless.
On the other hand, Clarence sat confidently with a smug expression. He seemed to be confident in
winning the votes.
Time seemed to crawl. The tension in the room was palpable.
Everyone held their breath, sensing an impending twist.
Finally, Peter took a deep breath and said, “I don’t think we should remove Clarence…”
But before Peter could finish his sentence, Jean suddenly began coughing violently. At that moment, all
eyes turned to him.
