Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife
Chapter 284 Exposing President Smith In Front Of EveryoneAdelle was completely caught off guard when she heard Ran Xueyi and Mr. Harris statements just now. Previously, she already knew that Ran Xueyi had some plans to force President Smith to resign, but never had she expected nor thought that this was her plan at all!
So that's why she was so confident and courageous to face President Smith!
It was actually not because she was fearless as an artist, but because she had an almost the same and equal position as the president.
Ran Xueyi smiled at her before focusing her attention to the shocked crowd in front of her. Unlike some of the shareholders who already have an idea who she was when she first bought the shares from the market, others were completely clueless and only found out about this today.
Thus, they never expected this outcome.
Mr. Harris fixed his eyes at President Smith and Vice President Robinson and explained, "It's not that we wanted to keep this fact a secret forever. It was just that when the previous chairman decided to sell most of his shares during that crisis, and someone quickly bought it at a higher price than what was inputted to the market price, Miss Ran especially requested the chairman to keep it under wraps to not cause any disturbance in the company."
"The chairman naturally agrees to her condition. Hence, the result ended with all of us in confusion when we, the shareholders, also found out about the first time the chairman introduced us to the highest shareholders."
President Smith's face darkened immediately: "Why have I not been told about this? My father is the chairman, are you saying he didn't think it was right for him to tell me about this as his heir?"
Mr. Harris shrugged slightly. "That is not something I can find out easily. What the previous chairman was thinking about when he hid it from you is not something we can just speculate. Well, President Smith can go to the chairman to personally question him, if you want to."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPersonally question his father? That man has been dead since last year, was he going to talk to a dead person? President Smith did not think that things could be this bad.
Ran Xueyi didn't want to continue playing with President Smith anymore.
She glanced at the two and chillingly said, "Enough. There's no need to talk about what happened in the past. Since President Smith wants to force me, we can say that we have the same idea."
President Smith narrowed his eyes, feeling that something was wrong.
As expected, the words that soon came out of Ran Xueyi's lips made everyone shudder and stare at her in shock.
Ran Xueyi said, "President Smith, can you tell me, as the president of the company, have you been honest enough?"
President Smith sneered. "Of course!"
"Then, I'm sure you have not hidden anything from everyone inside this room that could ruin the company, right?"
President Smith's heart thumped heavily. He wanted to say that she was right, but at the same time, he knew within himself that it wasn't the truth. After all, he had done a lot of things that could 'ruin' the company.
Just as he wanted to open his mouth to say something, Ran Xueyi opened her mouth again.
But this time, the things that came out of her mouth was enough to make President Smith lose the strength in his legs.
"In order to make this company as clean as possible and grow without any influence from other factors, I kept tabs on everyone's actions within the company regularly." Ran Xueyi walked towards the laptop connected to the projector and inserted a USB. "Inside this USB, all the shady and unclean things that everyone has done was collected by my people. And amongst these people, President Smith seems to have worked so hard to have all his evil deeds accumulate so much that even this USB couldn't handle it."
Everyone could not even utter a sound, staring shocked.
Then, the projector lit up once again. This time, it showed several pictures of President Smith with one or two women. One wouldn't find fault in this considering that this could be viewed as normal for someone like President Smith. However, what stunned everyone to their core was that each picture contained different women and it was not only him who appeared in the picture.
In some photos, he was surrounded by other men. These men were all higher executives from rivaling companies.
President Smith did not expect that Ran Xueyi actually had someone follow and capture these pictures without his knowledge.
He shot up and angrily shouted, "You! This is against the law! Taking photos of myself without my permission and knowledge, Estelle, are you so unafraid that you'd actually go against the law?!"
Ran Xueyi wasn't finished yet and ignored President Smith's sharpened words.
Next, she released a copy of papers that were signed by President Smith. It all showed that President Smith helped some of these higher executives from other companies to force their own company artists to sleep with them. Not only that, he was even willing to give up some of his personal shares whenever he lost a round of gambling.
"Right now, I estimated that President Smith has around two hundred million dollars. Not that big, but considering that the company previously suffered from a crisis in the past, a crisis that also stemmed up because of his gambling habits, I think we can already tell that ORANGE Entertainment will soon go bankrupt if nothing is done." Ran Xueyi quickly analyzed everything as if it had nothing to do with her. She acted as if she was just an observer as she tells everyone what may become of the company in a few years.
"She's lying! How can it be real?!" Vice President Robinson was in a state of denial. Though he was siding with President Smith now, he could not accept what the reality was and harshly questioned her. "Estelle, are you sure that all of this are not made-up for your personal interest? Can you say that you did not make this all up because you wanted to throw President Smith from his position?"
Hearing his question, some people, who still had some faith towards President Smith all glared at Ran Xueyi.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRan Xueyi, however, was not at all bothered by the glares she was receiving. Instead, she calmly and expressionlessly faced them all.
Moving her fingertips to control the cursor, she didn't say a word and merely showed them another thing. This time it was a video.
[Mr. Lewis, isn't this enough to show my sincerity to you? These three girls are all freshly scouted and joined our company. Look at their soft and smooth skin, they're top tier! Their body matches your preference too. All these girls will be yours if you only agree to buy 8 percent of shares... I know, I know. I'm only going to rent my shares to you. You know I lost the previous bet so I really need the money... The company's money? It's not enough! I already used a bit of it and if I took some again, people will surely notice it. I will be voted out if I take more.]
The sound stopped, the room was pervaded by an impregnable silence for three seconds. Then, everyone could no longer hold themselves and started to curse and question President Smith.
President Smith felt like a deflated balloon. He was short of tumbling down the ground with no strength supporting his entire body. He looked like a skinless skeleton crumbling down.
However, Ran Xueyi had no mercy towards this type of person and produced a court's letter ordering that President Smith, who committed felony for robbing company's money, human trafficking, and also involving himself with the bribes through sex and blackmailing people to do unlawful things. All in all, each crime was accounted for and numbered.
This time, President Smith cannot even wish for bail because of how heavy his actions were.
Ran Xueyi then glanced at Vice President Robinson whose face was so pale: "The authenticity of the evidence, you can all check it with the company lawyer. Of course, all the evidence given to the court were all legally taken. The things inside this USB were not given to them. Of course, you can say I did this for my personal interest... But it doesn't eliminate the fact that what President Smith has done has put the company's interest in a bad situation."
She added: "As the highest shareholder of the company, don't I at least have that much right to do this for the sake of the company?"
Nobody could refute her words.
If President Smith really did all of those she mentioned, not only the company, even their shares that they painstakingly bought and kept will be worth nothing when the stock market opens. At most, they could sell it for a few tens of millions.
In any case, nobody wanted to buy company shares that were downgraded this much.
Weighing the scales of their loyalty towards President Smith and their own interests, it was a no-brainer what they will pick.
However, today's events did not only open their eyes. It also made them realize how ruthless and fierce Ran Xueyi, also known as Estelle, could be when she bares her claws at them.
