"Den, Tristan is Tristan, and Ms. James is Ms. James. You can''t mix them up," Ss said slowly. "Ms. James is now Mr. Clemens''wful wife!"
"So what?" Den shot back, not backing down. "How many women in history have schemed against their husbands to grab their wealth?"
The room instantly felt like it had dropped a few degrees, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife.
The shareholders nced nervously between Sadie and Den.
Sadie kept her eyes down, calmly sipping her tea, showing no reaction.
Ryan couldn''t help but feel a pang of anxiety for Sadie. Den was being outrageously aggressive, directly attacking Sadie personally.
But Ryan had no authority to speak on this matter. Even though he was anxious, he didn''t dare to say anything rash.
"Den, that was out of line," Ss said angrily. "Ms. James is Mr. Clemens'' wife. You don''t even show basic respect. Do you have any regard for Mr. Clemens at all?"
"Ss, you''re old and don''t understand the cutthroat nature of the business world," Den said impatiently, frowning.
"Look at you, your health is failing, you can barely sit up straight. You should go home and rest, stop worrying about this."
"You!" Ss''s face turned ashen with anger.
Den didn''t care about Ss at all.
Other board members tried to intervene quietly, "Den, let''s stick to the matter at hand. There''s no need to disrespect Ss."
"I''m just concerned about his health," Den exined.
"Den, right?" Sadie finally spoke up.
"Currently the Executive President of the Clemens Group''s Country F base, and a rtive of Micah, though three generations apart. You''re my elder."
"Don''t mention it," Den replied coldly, thinking Sadie was trying to curry favor with him.
But Sadie made a sharp turn, "However, ording topany hierarchy, if you keep shouting here, I can fire you."
"You wouldn''t dare!" Den was instantly furious.
"Why wouldn''t I?" Sadie raised an eyebrow coolly.
"I''m the major shareholder of the Clemens Group now. If I want to fire you, I will. What can you do about it?"
"You!" Den was rendered speechless by Sadie''s retort.
Ryan quickly signaled to Sadie, indicating she shouldn''t act on impulse.
Den represented not just himself, but thirteen board members from the headquarters.
Sure enough, the other board members started speaking up, "Ms. James is quite arrogant,ing in and threatening to fire people. Why not just fire all of us old folks?"
"Mrs. Clemens didn''t mean that," Ss quickly tried to smooth things over.
"If anyone''s unhappy, you''re free to leave," Sadie said firmly, showing no sign of backing down.
She then ordered, "Chloe, prepare resignation letters for each board member. Anyone who wants to leave can sign and process it now."
Sadie''s words caused an uproar.
Not only the board members from headquarters, but also people from VIC Group and other branches started buzzing with discussion.
Under Den''s instigation, the atmosphere grew increasingly hostile.

Some board members couldn''t hold back and started cursing Sadie for being arrogant and reckless.
Some even began to question her motives.
Ss was anxious and quickly signaled Ryan to go and persuade Sadie.
Ryan, despite his illness, was about to get up when Sadie spoke coldly again, "What is
it, Ryan? Are you thinking of resigning?"
The room fell silent. Everyone stared at Ryan in shock.
Ryan was stunned, staring at Sadie in a daze. He instinctively replied, "No, I''m not."
"Then sit down," Sadie gestured with a "please" motion.
Ryan quickly sat back down.
"Anyone else who wants to resign can process it now," Sadie said calmly, scanning the
room.
"Rest assured, the Clemens Group won''t shortchange you. You''ll get every penny of your pension."
