Ryan and Ss were both floored, totally clueless about what Sadie had up her sleeve.


    Some board members had their doubts about her, but they all held key positions in the Clemens Group.


    If they bailed, thepany would be in serious trouble.


    "Sadie, don''t push us too far!" Den barked, mming his hand on the table.


    "You all see this, right? This woman is out of control. She wants to bring down the Clemens Group."


    "And what would I gain from that?" Sadie shot back.


    "Even if you don''t ept me, my kids are still the heirs to the Clemens Group, aren''t they? Mr. Raymond Clemens left all his shares to my three children."


    Her words instantly calmed the room.


    The murmuring stopped, and everyone stared at Sadie, puzzled by her intentions.


    "You can question me all you want, but you can''t question Mr. Raymond Clemens or Micah''s decisions," Sadie said firmly.


    "You all know Mr. Raymond Clemens'' will. Before he passed, he left everything to my three kids, and I''m their mother and guardian."


    "Micah also transferred all his shares and private assets to me."


    "You''ve worked with them for years; you should know they wouldn''t be controlled by anyone, let alone a woman, right?"


    "Why can''t you trust their decisions? Why not give me a chance to prove myself?"


    "Instead, youe here to stir up trouble. What do you gain by pushing me out? If the Clemens Group falls into chaos, who will take charge? Den?"


    Everyone turned to look at Den.


    Ss felt a surge of satisfaction. Sadie''s move was genius, putting Den on the spot.


    It made people think Den was power-hungry and trying to grab the CEO position, which exined why he was causing a ruckus.


    Den''s face changed, and he quickly defended himself, "That''s not what I meant."


    "I just want what''s best for the Clemens Group and the Clemens family. The James family has always been our enemy. Is it wrong for me to be concerned?"

    "Being concerned isn''t wrong, but inciting everyone is," Sadie replied coolly. "This isn''t some anniversary celebration, and there was no prior notice."


    "Thirteen board members from headquartersing to Newark at the same time how are their positions being managed? This is clearly an attempt to pressure me."


    "I didn''t, don''t use me falsely."


    "Do I need to spell it out?" Sadie asked bluntly. "Everyone here, to reach this position, must have a clear mind."


    "You!"


    "I''ll say it again," Sadie said, cutting him off.


    She turned to the board members and dered, "If anyone wants to leave, you can sign your resignation letter now. I''ll approve it immediately without another word." The board members exchanged nces, staying silent.

    Some lowered their heads, not wanting to be singled out.


    In truth, no one wanted to leave.


    After all, bing a board member or executive at the Clemens Group was a dreame true for everyone.


    "Den," Sadie turned her gaze to him.


    "What, are you trying to force me to resign?" Den shouted, embarrassed and angry.


    "I''m telling you, no way. I''ve been with the Clemens Group for thirty years. Even if I haven''t achieved much, I''ve worked hard. I''m not leaving."


    "Good," Sadie smiled, softening her tone. "If you''re not leaving, then we''re still family."


    "After Micah''s incident, outsiders have been eyeing the Clemens Group. We should unite and face external threats together."


    Her words immediately eased the tension in the room.


    Not only did it give Den a chance to back down, but it also fostered a sense of unity,


    as if everyone present was truly part of one family, facing amon challenge


    together.
