Chapter 640

“Hold it right there!” Sutton cried out, clearly agitated. “Sadie, do you really think you are qualified to run the company? This file is fake, isn’t it?”

“That must be it!” Briley chimed in excitedly. “You’re from a humble background, Sadie. You practically had nothing to your name! How can you possibly manage such a large conglomerate? Do you think the Wall Group is just some mom-and-pop store in the corner?” She deliberately raised her voice and gave Sadie a look of utter disdain in a blatant attempt to provoke her.

Sure enough, the other shareholders began to whisper among themselves.

Indeed, it was hard to believe that a young woman like Sadie would suddenly possess so many shares and take over a powerful entity like the Wall Group.

In their eyes, Sadie’s existence was insignificant, apart perhaps from the fact that she was married to Noah.

Coyle slowly rose to his feet and spoke like a caring elder, though his concern was fake. “You should think this through carefully before you make any decisions, Sadie. Shouldn’t your household take priority over business matters?”

His words were unmistakably condescending, and perhaps a little threatening.

Standing beside Sadie, Samuel felt his hackles rise. He was worried that Sadie might not be able to handle the pressure when these people attacked her from all sides. After all, these cunning shareholders were seasoned manipulators.noveldrama

To everyone’s surprise, Sadie let out a light and carefree laugh. “Coyle, have you forgotten how you lost your leg years ago?”

Her question struck the room like a bolt of lightning, and the room fell silent all at once. Everyone seemed to be holding their breath.

They were all aware of the incident—several years ago, Coyle had tried to seize power in secret and ended up causing huge losses to the company. As a result, Nigel had sent him overseas—after breaking his…

The event was a taboo within the Wall family, a painful memory that Coyle never wanted to revisit. Now that Sadie had mentioned it, and in front of all these people, it made Coyle scowl. This young woman sure was bold!

Just then, one of the shareholders, who had been silently observing throughout the entire meeting, stood up.

“Mrs. Wall,” he said, peering at Sadie with an odd mix of caution and anticipation. “Why do you look so familiar to me?”

Sadie turned her attention to the elderly man and gave him a polite smile. “Sir, Absolon Stewart was my grandfather, and he used to work for Wall Group.”

Another pregnant silence followed her reply. The shareholders were now wide-eyed with disbelief. Some of the older ones were practically trembling in their seats with excitement.

They had all fought alongside Nigel in the early days of Wall Group, when they had to claw their way up from the ground. How could they not know who Absolon was?

The man was a formidable figure in the business world, known for his excellent skills and foolproof strategies. To say that he had made great contributions to Wall Group during its early stages would be a gross understatement. Many of them had benefited from Absolon’s wit and generosity, one way or another.

Sadly, Absolon chose to leave the company at some point, and no one had any news of him since.

Never had they imagined that Absolon’s own granddaughter would be standing before them today.

The elderly shareholder seemed to be overcome with emotion. He reached out and clasped Sadie’s hand. “It’s no wonder you look so familiar! Rest assured, young lady, no one on the board will bully you as long as we are here!”
