<h4>Chapter 908: 908. It doesn’t matter whether you agree or not.</h4>
"You shouldn’t worry about mom’s affairs," she said. "I’m already of age, and I have a grown-up grandkid. Why would I consider remarrying? And even if I did, as a divorced woman who has been through childbirth, could I really go as far as to trouble Jamuna Ford? Plus, he’s even two years younger than your mom."
So what if he’s two years younger?
Elly Campbell was somewhat dismissive, stating, "In the entertainment circles, there are couples with even a decade of age difference, and they still love each other deeply, don’t they?"
"What if Professor Ford actually likes you? What would you do then? He’s still single; maybe he’s been waiting for you?"
Elly Campbell asked Jenna rk earnestly, seeming to catch her off guard for a moment, but she quickly shook her head in denial:
"Impossible. Does he have such poor taste? Surrounded by so many outstanding women, why would he pick someone like me, who has been divorced and has a grown daughter?"
Elly Campbell wanted to say that Professor Ford indeed has many excellent women around him, but her mom, whenpared to those women, wasn’tcking in any way. Just because she had been deceived by a man once, should she underrate herself like this?
But Elly Campbell also knew that no matter how much she said, her mom wouldn’t listen, so in the end, she didn’t say anything more.
She felt somewhat sorry for Professor Ford; if he truly liked her mom, the path to pursue her would be quite challenging.
After chatting with Jenna rk for a while, Elly Campbell’s mood, initially dampened by the issues caused by Thompson, improved significantly.
Jenna rk didn’t stay in Boston long, only repeatedly reminding Elly Campbell to take good care of herself and contact her if she faced any difficulties.
Now, Jones Corporation was in precarious situations, not only internally, as some individuals within sought to scheme, but otherpanies also wanted a piece of the action.
However, under Adam Jones’s leadership, Jones Corporation had grown too formidable. Such arge conglomerate wasn’t easy to swallow, but sharing in the spoils wasn’t a difficult task.
These past few days, Jones Corporation had been in continuous shareholder meetings, all discussing matters of financing.
Given the current situation at Jones Corporation, with thepany’s stock prices plummeting, executing all projects would be highly challenging unless a broad financing round was conducted.
This would mean that the existing shareholders, including Elly Campbell herself, would have their shares diluted.
However, Elly Campbell held a significant number of shares, so even though they were diluted, she still held the majority.
Other shareholders were either considering selling their shares to exit Jones Corporation due to the chaos or hoped to recover the stock prices following the financing round.
In the end, it boiled down to a struggle between Elly Campbell and Edward Gresia.
"This financialpany, I’ve never even heard of it."
In the meeting, Edward Gresia exploded immediately when he heard that Elly Campbell had chosen an unknown financialpany for funding.
It wasn’t thepany that he had coborations with, so even if the financing was sessful, he wasn’t guaranteed to buy those shares.
"Does it matter if you’ve heard of them or not? After all, they are the ones bringing real money into ourpany’s ount," she retorted.
Caught off-guard by Elly Campbell’sment, Edward Gresia didn’t know how to respond and said, frustrated:
"Anyway, I don’t agree."
Elly Campbell raised an eyebrow at him andughed, "Whether you agree doesn’t matter. I call the shots at Jones now, do you know what absolute control means?"
Elly Campbell didn’t want to reason with someone like Edward Gresia, as no amount of reasoning would get through to him. Instead, she decided to use her authority to suppress him directly.
Dealing with people like Edward Gresia, power was more effective than reason.
