?Chapter 641:


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


    “I agree,” another shareholder chimed in.


    “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 understood 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 will 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 thepany 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.


    g?lnσν????s is where dreams unfold


    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’smanding presence. She had managed to subdue those old foxes with just a few words!


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


    In truth, all her bravado earlier had been just an act. She knew she needed to appear strong to intimidate her foes. If she showed even the slightest hint of weakness, she wouldn’t have a chance of continuing the discussion.


    Meanwhile, the tension from the meeting lingered as the shareholders returned to their respective offices. It didn’t take long before rumors began to spread throughout thepany.


    “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 be 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 for nearby employees to overhear them.


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