Chapter 261 Why Can I Not Come
Marilyn’s face reddened in anger, but she forced herself to tamp the fury down. “My husband is Samuel
Faulkner, who thought the world of this child. Moreover, he had a good relationship with Armand. That’s
why Armand made a will like this.”
“My, why can’t you just admit that the baby isn’t his? Look at you. You’ve gone all red!” Mirrin chuckled.
“I’ve always lived in Xedells, and I know that you’ve been dating my son for thirteen years. Perhaps it’s
because he still has feelings for you, and that’s why he’s so nice to you.”
“That was in the past,” Marilyn insisted with a slight scowl. “I’ve already broken up with Armand a long
time ago. Please don’t accuse us of this.”
I’m a socialite from a proper family. I don’t have any relationship with some escort’s kid! Just the very
thought of it sickens me.
“All right, all right. I won’t talk about it if you don’t want me to talk about it.” Mirrin then took out a pack of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcigarettes from her bag. Her fluid motion made the shareholders force themselves to resist the urge to
rush forward and light the cigarette for her.
There was a reason for Mirrin to be the top escort in Ambrosia for over two decades after all.
After lighting the cigarette and taking a huff of it, Mirrin continued, “Armand made a will stating that your
child will get all the shares he has, but you haven’t even delivered the child yet. On the other hand, I’m
his biological mother. I have to have Central Group’s shares. If you don’t agree with that, let’s bring this
to court.”
Mirrin was determined, and her aggressive attitude made Peter and the others furrow their brows.
Peter had set up a shareholders’ meeting because he wanted to become Central Group’s CEO as soon
as possible. That way, he would be able to gain control of Central Group soon, for the longer the matter
dragged on, the likelier something else might happen.
Peter then gave Marilyn a look.
Instantly understanding what he wanted, Marilyn said to the lawyer, “In that case, we’ll both have half of
Armand’s shares.”
Once the lawyer reassigned Armand’s shares, the peace in the conference room returned.
Samantha then pointed out that someone needed to manage Central Group while Armand was in a
coma, and she voted for Peter to take Armand’s place.
Although the news of how Armand was not a real Faulkner caused a massive uproar, he was still a child
raised in the Faulkner family. Nevertheless, Samantha was still working in Faulkner Group, and most
knew how capable Peter was.
Hence, other than Mirrin and two other shareholders who gave up on their votes, the rest of the
shareholders agreed to have Peter become Central Group’s new CEO.
“Now that we have the results of the voting, let me announce that—”
Right as the one with the most shares among the shareholder was about to make the announcement, yet
another person entered the room.
The newcomer was a young woman with fair slender legs and light makeup. Upon entering, the young
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwoman, who looked suave, confident, and sexy in a black business suit and a skirt, raised her brow.
The shareholders were no longer startled by the sudden entrances.
Isn’t this a f*cking shareholders’ meeting? Why are there so many people coming in one by one? Are we
in an office, or are we in a market?
After entering the room, Genevieve gave a slight nod to the people in the conference room before
walking to the main seat at the end of the table. Then, she sat down on it.
Steven, who had entered with her, quietly stood by her side.
“You’re gutsy, aren’t you, Genevieve?” Peter fumed as he looked at Genevieve. “We’re having a
shareholders’ meeting right now. What does this have to do with an outsider like you?”
Genevieve lifted her head to look at the man, completely fearless. “I have a marriage certificate with
Armand, so I’m his legal wife. Why can’t I come to the shareholders’ meeting of his company?”
When the shareholders heard that, they turned to look at Genevieve.
The shareholders discovered that Armand was married ever since they saw him starting to wear a ring.
However, Armand had never revealed to them who his wife was.
