Chapter 533


    “Do you heartless bastards have any conscience?”


    Landon stood up and scolded the shareholders who wanted to dismiss Reign. “Take a moment to


    reflect honestly. Ms. Labenz treated you well throughout her tenure, leading you to substantial financial


    gains.”


    “ke Jones, let me remind you of the time when you went to Margaret Harbor Gambling City to y


    and ended up losing everything. It was Reign who extended a helping hand, lending you money to


    settle your debts and saving you fromplete ruin.”


    And you. Timber Swift, when you were on the verge of despair, who came to your rescue?”


    “Anderson Hilton, when your wife and children faced bullying abroad, who stepped in to resolve it?”


    “And each one of you!”


    “How heartless and unscrupulous you are! Reign has shown you tremendous kindness, and yet you


    repay her with such ingratitude. Have you lost all sense of morality?”


    Furious, he red at those who sought to dismiss Reign. Equipped with reason and evidence, he


    persistently questioned and scolded them.


    In response, the used shareholders bowed their heads, offering only silence.


    “Alright, Landon, this is a board meeting, not a ce for you to unleash your anger. Please take your


    seat,” Albert calmly interjected.


    “But Philip’s scheme is clear. He wants to drag Reign down with him, which is why he orchestrated this


    spectacle. This man is wicked, he covets the CEO position, and he’ll do whatever it takes!” Landon


    eximed urgently.


    “I said, take your seat! Albert’s tone suddenly grew stern


    Landon furrowed his brow, eventually relenting and falling into silence.


    Philip stood up, respectfully bowing to Albert. In a deep voice, he stated, “Mr. Labenz, everything I have


    done was for the sake of thepany. I implore you to conduct a thorough investigation.”


    At home, Philip always referred to Albert as “Dad” but within thepany, he maintained a formal


    address, calling him “Mr. Labenz” He made a clear distinction between public and private matters.


    “I understand. Just take your seat for now,” Albert responded calmly


    Philip’s frown cased slightly as heplied, but his heart swelled with pride and concealed disdain.


    During Albert’s absence, Philip had already bribed all the board members, acquiring a majority stake of


    51%.


    No matter what Reign and Albert attempted, their efforts could not sway him.


    However, to uphold Albert’s reputation, Philip refrained from openly disclosing his actions. He kept


    some of his trump cards hidden, anticipating potential retaliation from Albert.


    Albert nced at everyone in the room and calmly inquired, “Does anyone else have any further


    opinions?”


    Yvonne stood up with determination and asserted. “Mr. Labenz, I firmly believe that we should not


    dismiss Reign Labenz from her position. Throughout her tenure, she has brought substantial profits to


    thepany, surpassing any losses by a considerable margin.”


    “I also agree that Ms. Labenz has done an outstanding job and guided us in the right direction,” added


    the sales manager, speaking softly


    The remaining shareholders began expressing their support, affirming their willingness to believe in


    Reign Labenz and stand by her side.


    Among the concurring voices, a shareholder rose and stated, “Ms. Labenz possesses evident abilities,


    especially when ites to generating profits,


    “However, concur with ke that Ms. Labenz has shown emotional fragility since Mr. Jaber’s


    departure.


    “Her recentck of focus on work has resulted in significant financial setbacks for thepany. This is


    the truth, and we have all witnessed it.


    ‘Most importantly, Reign Labenz promoted Han Jaber, who not only offended the Muller family but


    also Robert Bard. With Han Jaber now deceased, if Reign Labenz retains her position of power,


    these two influential forces may pose a


    threat to us.


    “Ms. Labenz has led us onto a dead end.


    *Furthermore, I believe that to determine Ms. Labenz’s suitability as CEO, you can consult her closest


    secretary”


    Upon hearing this. Albert Labenz calmly remarked, “Bring all of Reign’s secretaries here.”


    Soon, all of Reign’s secretaries arrived.


    They were Lily, Lucy, and Karren.


    They were all stunningly beautiful and responsible for various aspects of Reign Labenz’s daily life,


    handling personal matters, running errands, scheduling meetings, and other minor tasks.


    Albert asked, ‘What do you all think of Ms. Labenz’s current condition?”


    Landon and Yvonne fixed their gaze on the three women, their hearts racing in their chests.


    At this critical moment, these secretaries held significant influence over Reign’s destiny.


    “Ms. Labenz hasn’t been doing welltely. Ever since Mr. Jaber departed, she has been frequently


    confused and making mistakes, Lily stated.


    “I share the same opinion. Ms, Labenz has been in a poor state and is unfit for work. I almost signed


    the wrong document,” added Karren.


    “Today, Ms. Labenz called me and requested that I book a flight to Whileal Kingdom. She even


    mentioned not wanting to handle anything anymore. I also believe she is not capable of working in her


    current condition,” chimed in Lucy.


    “You are lying!”


    Upon hearing their remarks, Landon and Yvonne felt a surge of anger. They shouted out instantly.


    They never expected that, at this crucial moment, Reign’s secretaries would all betray her so


    mercilessly.


    Reign Labenz had always treated these secretaries exceptionally well, buying themvish clothing,


    raking them to upscale restaurants, and going to great lengths to secure benefits for them. She even


    assisted them with official paperwork and even introduced them to exceptional partners.


    Now, they showed such ingratitude, adding insult to injury when Reign was vulnerable. They were


    nothing more than ungrateful opportunists in Landon and Yvonne’s eyes


    Reign raised her head from her sorrow, seemingly shocked as she nced at the secretaries.


    The secretaries averted their gazes, unable to meet Reign’s eyes as if feeling guilty.


    Philip Labenz observed the scene, sneering. “These are my people. What can you do topete with


    me?” he thought.


    If Han were still alive, he wouldn’t have been confident in bringing down Reign. But now that Han


    was dead, Philip had countless ways to crush Reign.


    “Reign, do you have anything to say?” Albert turned to Reign.


    Hearing Albert’s words, everyone present sneered at Reign.


    Considering Reign’s current state, what could she possibly say? They just didn’t believe that she would


    turn the tide.


    Reign Labenz wiped away her tears, remaining silent with her teeth clenched.


    “Mr. Labenz, it seems that Ms. Labenz has nothing more to say. She has likely epted this


    proposition and is prepared to step down,” stated ke.

    “Yes, Ms. Labenz’s mental state has been poor, but she understands the bigger picture,” someone


    added.


    “Please, Ms. Labenz, abdicate and pass the reins to someone more capable, requested another


    person.


    Many others echoed these sentiments, all demanding Reign Labenz’s resignation.


    Landon and Yvonne’s faces fell.


    These people were determined to push Reign to the edge.


    “Mr. Labenz, this is the will of the shareholders. Please reconsider, Philip interjected


    Landon and Yvonne’s eyes grew colder when they heard this.


    Philip was clearly pressuring Reign to step down.


    He intended to leverage the support of the shareholders backing him topel Albert to remove Reign


    from her position.


    Yvonne wrote something on a piece of paper, her expression turning extremely grim.


    She had calcted that Philip’s supporters held at least 51% of the shares. In other words, Philip now


    possessed absolute


    power.


    Philip had orchestrated a plot to overthrow Reign, aiming to seize the positionwfully,


    “When did this sly bastard manage to buy off so many people?” Yvonne wondered, gritting her teeth,


    her expression filled with extreme displeasure.

    Philip remainedposed and spoke once again, “Mr. Labenz, please dismiss Reign Labenz from her


    position!”


    Albert smiled faintly, his gaze unchanged. He maintained a remarkable calmness as he looked at Reign


    and calmly asked, “Reign, what are your thoughts?”


    Reign rose from her seat, her eyes transitioning from a vacant and lifeless state to sharpness and icy


    coldness. Seizing control of the situation, sheunched a fierce counterattack, saying. I propose


    removing Philip Labenz, the vice president. from his position!”
