?Chapter 570:


    With eight shareholders in attendance, each one voted for Holden.


    Vincent didn’t receive even a single vote.


    The Adams Group was already a publicly tradedpany, and the difference in shares owned by the two wasn’t significant. However, the unanimous decision from so many shareholders made the result unmistakable.


    Katelyn, masking the surprise in her eyes, continued to observe the shareholders’ expressions closely.


    Vincent had been at the helm of thepany for years. It seemed impossible that at such a critical moment, not one shareholder would stand by him. How could that be? Even under threat, what kind of sway could Holden possibly hold over them?


    The whole situation was exceedingly strange.


    Jaxen hadn’t anticipated this oue either. Even in his worst-case scenario, the votes should have been evenly divided. But now, it had be andslide.


    He clenched his teeth and red at the shareholders assembled on stage, shouting, “Use your brains for once! Who is truly capable of leading thispany forward? Are you really that stupid, or has that rat bribed you all?”


    The shareholders, feeling the brunt of his anger, didn’t dare look up, resembling NPCs in a video game.


    “You’re all ungrateful traitors. None of you deserve Vincent. If I had my way, I would’ve ousted you from thepany long ago,” Jaxen continued, his anger palpable.


    Next to him, Vincent remained unusuallyposed.


    This turn of events was something he had anticipated.


    ???????????????? ???????????????? ????????????: g????????ν?????????????


    Holden wouldn’t have made a move without a perfect n in ce, making sure the shareholders wouldn’t turn on him at thest moment.


    Vincent noticed the flicker of fear in their eyes, which helped him maintain hisposure.


    At the same time, Holden could barely hide his excitement.


    “Observe this, everyone! I have the support of the people. From this moment on, I am the new president of the Adams Group. As for you, Vincent, you’re no longer associated with thispany. If you decide to sell your shares, I would dly buy them from you,” Holden said. His face radiated smugness as he stepped closer, eager to see a sh of anger on Vincent’s face.


    Facing the shareholders who had stood by him for so many years, only to betray him at this critical moment, must have been painful.


    He wanted to watch Vincent lose hisposure. Why should Vincent always be the one on top, standing untouchable like a god?


    He wanted nothing more than to break him at that moment.


    But Holden was bound to be disappointed. No matter how hard he tried to provoke Vincent, his expression remained calm, his gaze distant, as if he were watching a ridiculous fool.


    That look left Holden feeling deeply insulted.


    Why? Why was this happening?


    “Aren’t you angry, Vincent? Furious even? These people were your followers, yet they all voted for me. From now on, you’re nothing but a rat I’ve thrown out of thispany!” Holden shouted, his voice filled with hysteria. Why wasn’t there any sign of Vincent losing hisposure?


    Even though Vincent was clearly the one who had lost, it still felt like he held the upper hand, as if the game was still in his favor.


    The gap between what Holden expected and what was actually happening filled him with a growing sense of unease and fear.


    It felt like something unknown to him was unfolding. Vincent’s calm gaze remained fixed on Holden, full of contempt and mockery. He had never taken him seriously from the start.<fn47ab> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? fι?dnοvel</fn47ab>


    The fool wasn’t even worthy of being considered an opponent.


    “It’s not over yet.” Vincent finally spoke, his tone light yet sharp. Those words sent a shiver through Holden, who instinctively stepped back, fear shing in his eyes. The situation seemed to be slippingpletely out of his control.


    At that moment, Samuel walked in, holding a thick stack of documents.


    Each one wasbeled with a specific shareholder’s name. Samuel handed out the documents to each shareholder, and Holden looked on in disbelief.


    His instincts screamed that these papers contained something that could ruin everything.


    As the shareholders each opened the file they received, their faces instantly changed.


    Inside were incriminating records detailing years of their embezzlement and corruption.
