Soon, news that Timothy was hospitalized spread, and Barrett Group's stock plunged.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe relatives of the Barrett family requested to hold a board meeting to elect another CEO. On the day of the board meeting, Mia brought her two children to Barrett Group.
They managed to keep everyone on a leash as Sage bore a striking resemblance to Timothy.
Mia marched into the meeting room, sat in Timothy's chair, and glanced at everyone present. "Let's begin. Didn't you all want to have a meeting?" One of the middle-aged men said, "Ms. Lane, this is the Barrett Group board meeting. It's not appropriate for you to be here." "That's right. Though the kids are Mr. Barrett's children, they're still young and do not have any shares. You all shouldn't be here." Mia flung a document onto the table. "This is an agreement signed by Grandma Laura to authorizeto manage Timothy's shares." "Anyway, we still need to elect a CEO to handle our company affairs." "This is simple. I'll hire professionals to manage the company. There's no need to elect another CEO because Timothy will regain consciousness soon," Mia asserted.
The board of directors was not satisfied with her suggestion.
She knew their hidden motive, but she would not let them have their way.
"Ms. Lane, it's not that we're unwilling to accept your suggestion, but professionals are not as reliable as family. The project that my son developed at the technical department is viral now. He's also one of the Barretts, so he can surely manage the company well on behalf of Mr. Barrett." Right then, Sage stood up and said, "Is he that idiot who amended the program without permission and caused the bug that delayed the project for six months while we tried to fix the problem?" The middle-aged man's expression hardened. "Mr. Sage, you don't know anything, so mind your words." Mia turned to look at the man. "Is tha But my son was the one who fixed the bug, or else the project would have been delayed forever and not been put on the market." Her words astonished everyone in the meeting room. "Can a child be that capable?" Mia glanced at the man. "Not long ago, the Barrett Group website was hacked, and my son was the one who did it. If you don't believe me, you can ask your son to have a showdown with Sage." Right after she said that, a young man said defiantly, "Sure!" But the middle-aged man stopped him. Competing with a child would not be honorable even if he won, but it would be embarrassing if he lost.

How about that?" "I don't think this will work." "Why can't my mommy do that? She's so competent. If you don't agree with that, I'll ask Uncle Dominic, Uncle Nathan and Uncle Connor to cover and discuss it with you!" Ginger said angrily.
The middle-aged man's expression turned grim. "Ms. Lane, I have no comment if you're going to threatenwith your influence." "Shut your mouth then if you have no comment," Mia said.
Mia attended the board meeting assertively, and those who wanted to stir things up dared not say anything.
The major shareholders sat on the fence, but they supported Mia in the end.
The major shareholders were sharp-witted. If anything in Barrett Group went wrong, the Lanes had her back.
