Theda took her seat and continued, "I didn''te right away because I was waiting for someone. As everyone knows, Mr. Nichols'' shares are not in my hands. So, I was waiting for the share transfer agreement to be handed over to me. Only then can the ceremony be perfect, right?"


    Just then, someone knocked on the door.


    Theda said, "Come in."


    Robert entered and handed a folder to her.


    "What took you so long?"


    "Sorry."


    "Never mind."


    What mattered was that the agreement was now in her hands.


    She opened the folder, and inside was a thick stack of papers.


    The first page was nk. She frowned and flipped it over until she saw a big, ring turtle drawn on it.


    Her face turned dark. She continued to flip through the papers quickly, surprised to find that the turtle had transformed into an animated gif. Then a fist appeared next to the turtle, and the middle finger was slowly raised toward it.


    "What''s this? Where did you get this file?" she huffed.


    Melody gave no heed to Theda''sints. Her eyes were fixed on the agreement.


    Theda closed the file and said, "Thank you all for electing me as the new CEO. Now please excuse me. I have something to attend to."


    "Theda, wait," Melody called after her.


    Just then, the door to the conference room opened.


    Debra walked in, smiling. "Ms. Buchan, why the rush? Don''t you like my present?"


    Theda''s eyebrows shot up, but before she could say anything, Melody shouted, "Who allowed you toe in?"


    Just because of Debra, Juan had abandoned their family business.


    Melody barked, "Get her out of here!"


    love


    "Calm down, Melody," Debra said calmly. "I''m here with 45% of thepany''s shares. Are you sure you kick out thergest


    der?"


    The shareholders were all shocked.


    "What? The shares are in her hands? How is that possible?"


    "Did you give the shares back to her, Ms. Buchan?"


    Theda''s face twisted with anger. "Even


    Snow, you''re still clinging to wet


    . It looks like you don''t value


    life at all."


    Debra was aware of the danger of holding onto the shares, and yet she was still


    here. Theda believed it was driven by her greed.


    Debra shrugged. "Who said I''m holding onto the shares? I''m here today on behalf of thergest shareholder, Mr. Lowe."


    The shareholders were even more confused.


    "Drake Lowe? What does he have to do with this?"


    "How could the shares end up in his hands?"


    Debra spoke again, "I''m here to deliver M Lowe''s message. He doesn''t support Ms. Buchan bing the CEO. He sent me to ask all of you. Will you listen to him or Mrs. Nichols Sr.?"
