Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 437

Chapter 437 The End Of The Meeting

Sadie looked at Coyle, a victorious smile playing on her lips. “The rules dictate that the person with the most shares becomes the chairperson. Isn’t that right? If there are no objections, let us end the meeting here.”

“Hold it right there!” Sutton cried out, clearly agitated. “Sadie, do you really think you are qualified to run the company?

This file is fake, isn’t it?”

“That must be it!” Briley chimed in excitedly. “You’re from a humble background, Sadie. You practically had nothing to

your name! How can you possibly manage such a large conglomerate? Do you think the Wall Group is just some pop and

mom store in the corner?” She deliberately raised her voice and gave Sadie a look of utter disdain in a blatant attempt to

provoke the latter.

Sure enough, the other shareholders began to have whispered discussions among themselves.

Indeed, it was hard to believe that a young woman like Sadie would suddenly possess so many shares and take over a

powerful entity like the Wall Group.

In their eyes, Sadie’s existence was an insignificant one, apart perhaps from the fact that she was married to Noah.

Coyle slowly rose to his feet and spoke like a caring elder, though his concern was fake. “You should think this through

carefully before you make any decisions, Sadie. Shouldn’t your household take priority over business matters?”

His words were unmistakably condescending, and perhaps a little threatening.

Standing beside Sadie, Samuel felt his hackles rise. He was worried that Sadie might not be able to handle the pressure

when these people attacked her from all sides.

After all, these cunning shareholders were seasoned manipulators.

To everyone’s surprise, Sadie let out a light and carefree laugh. “Coyle, have you forgotten how you lost your leg years ago?”

Her question struck the room like a bolt of lightning, and the room fell silent all at once.

Everyone seemed to be holding their breath.

They were all aware of the incident–several years ago, Coyle had tried to seize power in secret and ended up causing huge losses to the company. As a result, Nigel had sent him overseas- after breaking his leg.

The event was a taboo within the Wall family, a painful memory that Coyle never wanted to revisit.

Now that Sadie mentioned it, and in front of all these people, made Coyle scowl.

This young woman sure was bold!

Just then, one of the shareholders who had been silently observing throughout the entire meeting stood up.

“Mrs. Wall,” he said, peering at Sadie with an odd mix of caution and anticipation. “Why do you look so familiar to me?”

Sadie turned her attention to the elderly man and gave him a polite smile. “Sir, Absolon Stewart was my grandfather, and

he used to work for Wall Group.”

Another pregnant silence followed her reply. The shareholders were now wide–eyed with disbelief.

Some of the older ones were practically trembling in their seats with excitement.

They had all fought alongside Nigel in the early days of the Wall Group, when they had to claw their way up from the ground. How could they not know who Absolon was?

The man was a formidable figure in the business world, known for his excellent skills and foolproof strategies.

To say that he had made great contributions to the Wall Group during its early stages would be a gross understatement.

Many of them had benefited from Absolon’s wit and generosity, one way or another.

Sadly, Absolon chose to leave the company at some point, and no one had any news of him since.

Never had they imagined that Absolon’s own granddaughter would be standing before them today.

The elderly shareholder seemed to be overcome with emotion. He reached out and clasped Sadie’s hand. “It’s no wonder

you look so familiar! Rest assured, young lady, no one on the board will bully you as long as we are here!”

Although his eyes were misty and his voice shook, his tone rang out with conviction.

Then, as if to prove himself, he turned and looked at his old comrades.

“I, for one, believe that no one is more suitable for the position of chairperson than Sadie!”

“I agree.”

“So do I.”

“If she is Absolon’s granddaughter, then she is certainly more than qualified to be the chairwoman.”

Those who had known Absolon voiced their agreement, their voices growing louder and firmer. Soon, the other

shareholders followed suit, until they were all on Sadie’s side.

If nothing else, Sadie’s performance just now definitely showed them that she was capable of taking the helm.

Coyle’s hands balled into fists.

How was he supposed to know that Sadie was Absolon’s granddaughter? The possibility never even crossed his mind!

Nigel really knew how to pick a wife for Noah!

Coyle finally knew why Nigel had suddenly arranged for some random, nameless girl to marry the grandson he doted on.

Sadie stared at Coyle, fully aware of her victory.

But she also knew not to push too hard. Otherwise, she might provoke her opponent into immediate retaliation.

So Sadie softened her expression. “I’m still young, and there will surely be certain areas where I would fall short in my duties. I will need your guidance in the future, Uncle Coyle. Briley and Sutton are quite capable as well, not to mention the fact that they are part of the Wall family. I think keeping them in the company would serve the business well.”

Her words were carefully chosen, allowing Coyle some grace while also asserting her stance. She had given him a tough lesson, yet also extended an olive branch. Only a fool would still kick up a fuss after this.

Coyle knew it, too. “Fine!” he bit out through gritted teeth.

Did he really have any other choice but to agree?

With that, Sadie concluded the meeting and walked out of the room, Samuel close at her heels.

It wasn’t until they were walking down the hallway that Samuel snapped out of his daze.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and marveled at Sadie’s commanding presence. She had managed to subdue those old foxes with just a few words!

Without a word, Sadie paused and leaned against the wall while taking a few deep breaths.

In truth, all her bravado earlier was just an act. She knew she needed to appear strong to intimidate her foes.

If she showed even the slightest hint of a weakness, she would have no chance of even continuing the discussion.

Meanwhile, the tension from the meeting followed the shareholders as they returned to their respective offices. It didn’t take long before rumors were flying throughout the company.

“Have you heard? Mr. Wall’s secretary from three years ago, Sadie–do you remember her? Well, she’s actually Mr. Wall’s

wife!”

“Really? I thought she was just a secretary. How did she suddenly become the chairwoman?”

“Who knows? Maybe she slept her way to the position, if you know what I mean.”

“Tsk tsk, how shameless! I always thought she acted all high and mighty, but I never imagined her to be this vulgar!”

This came from a group of female employees who had gathered together. Although their voices were hushed, they were

still loud enough and other nearby employees could overhear them.

Unbeknownst to them, the very person they were discussing was already walking in their direction.

Sadie’s expression was calm and unbothered, as though she couldn’t hear herself getting slandered by her subordinates.

She wore a bespoke business suit, and her hair was elegantly pinned up on her head. She looked chic and professional at

the same time.

The women who were gossiping just now changed their expressions when they noticed her approach, plastering smiles on

their faces as they flocked to Sadie.

“Hello, Mrs. Wall!”

“Mrs. Wall, you look beautiful today!”

They were practically falling on their feet to sing her praises.

Sądie swept an indifferent glance over them. “If you want to be of support to me and this company, the best thing you can

do is to do your job well.”

Her tone was bland and matter–of–fact.

The women bobbed their heads in earnest before reassuring her that they would work hard and not disappoint her.

Sadie’s eyes then shifted to Tina in the corner. “Tina, come with me.”

Tina was stunned for a couple of seconds, then she jumped to her feet.

She happily trailed after Sadie, while her colleagues could only watch in envy.
