Chapter 180 The Thompson Group Shareholders‘ Meeting

Conrad’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that Crystal was going to hold the Thompson Group shareholders‘ meeting.

He knew what Crystal wanted to do.

Back then, when Hattie was still alive, she gave sixty percent of the Thompson Group’s shares to Wesley and Crystal.

He and Hattie each held five percent.

The remaining thirty percent is held by other shareholders.

Crystal’s brother, Wesley, died in a car accident with his wife last year.

According to Hattie’s will.

In this situation, Wesley’s 30% stake in the Thompson Group should have been allocated to Crystal.

Conrad and Adrienne tampered with this issue.

In the days following Wesley’s death, Crystal remained in a state of extreme sadness.

Conrad and Adrienne deceived her into signing the relevant documents.

Wesley transferred his shares to Adrienne’s son Garrett.

Fortunately, Crystal never attended any meetings or events of the Thompson Group in the past, and she was completely unaware of it.

Crystal suddenly called for a shareholders‘ meeting.

It was very difficult to conceal this matter any longer.

Adrienne burst into laughter upon hearing the words.

She tidied up her messy hair and sneered, “You, what qualifications do you have to hold a shareholders‘ meeting for the Thompson Group? You’re nothing! Hahaha…”

Crystal snorted coldly. “My brother is no longer here, and I hold nearly thirty percent of the Thompson Group’s shares. I am the largest

shareholder of the Thompson Group, so of course I have the right to convene the meeting!”

“Plus, with the thirty percent ownership stake left by my brother, I have absolute control over the Thompson Group. Do you think I am qualified?”

Adrienne hesitated for a moment and said, “Before your brother and sister–in–law had the car accident, they had already transferred their shares to my family’s Garrett!”

“What do you want to do with just that small share of yours?”

Crystal sneered, “I knew long ago that you had swindled away all of my brother’s shares. Let me tell you, even so, I am still a major shareholder of the Thompson Group. I have the right to demand an emergency shareholders‘ meeting!”

“You can choose not to come. If absent, you have no right to participate in any decisions regarding the Thompson Group.”

“The meeting will be held at 2 o’clock in the afternoon sharp, whether you come or not is up to you!”

Crystal opened the door of the Porsche, and the door and surrounding parts immediately fell to the ground.

“Damn it, this car is scrapped!” he exclaimed, pulling Robin out of the crowd.

Adrienne sneered, “Haha, holding the Thompson Group shareholders‘ meeting and trying to take over the Thompson Group’s management rights? Dream on!”

Conrad furrowed his brow, watching the backs of Crystal and Robin, with a sense of foreboding in his heart.

o’clock in the afternoon.

The Thompson Edifice, the twenty–eighth floor conference hall.

Adrienne and Conrad, along with some of the shareholders of the Thompson Group, had already arrived at the conference venue.

Adrienne glanced at the time and said to her secretary, Nora Logan, “Why hasn’t Mr. Garrett arrived yet?”

Nora took out her phone and dialed Garrett and his bodyguard’s numbers again, but no one answered.

“Ms. Baldwin, Mr. Garrett, and their entourage’s phones were not answered, and we were unable to reach them.”

Adrienne frowned, “What’s wrong with this child? I spoke to him this morning and told him he must come to the company for the

shareholders‘ meeting this afternoon.”

“Nora, you kept in touch with the young master and sent someone to the places he frequents, to check if he had too much to drink at noon and didn’t hear his phone.”

“Okay, Ms. Baldwin,” Nora hurriedly left the meeting room.

Conrad sighed. “This child is so irresponsible! Alwave idling around

outside, how will they ever take on the responsibilities of the Thompson Group in the future!”

Adrienne poked him, “What are you talking about! Garrett is still young, he’s just a bit mischievous.”

“As he grew older, everything would get better.”

“Don’t mention Garrett, you were far worse than him when you were young.”

Conrad looked towards the entrance of the conference hall and

whispered, “I didn’t mean it that way. The key is, if Garrett doesn’t come back, we will be in a very passive position at the shareholders‘ meeting today. Garrett holds thirty percent of the shares! You know, right?”

Adrienne glanced at the shareholders present at the meeting and confidently said, “Conrad, look at you, so pathetic! The shares we hold, combined with the shares of these small shareholders here, far exceed that little scoundrel’s stake.”

“It doesn’t matter whether Garrett comes or not! Half of these shareholders are my relatives, and there are a few shareholders who have a good relationship with you. They are all the elders who started the business together.

“That little bitch Crystal never attended any shareholders‘ meetings or board meetings, even though she holds a twenty–eight percent stake. What difference does it make! Will the Thompson Group’s senior shareholders and some of our relatives help her?”

Conrad sighed and said, “Can you please stop calling her a little bitch, Crystal is my daughter after all.”

Adrienne frowned and said, “Conrad, are you thinking about that bitch. Hattie again? Don’t forget, she is the one you caused…”

Chapter 180 The Thompson Group Shareholders‘ Marting

Conrad immediately pulled Adrienne and whispered, “Do you fucking want to die? What nonsense are you talking about?”

Adrienne quickly shut her mouth, realizing at that moment that she had said too much.

At that moment, Crystal walked in from outside..

She looked around the meeting venue and walked straight to the seat of the major shareholder. In a cold voice, she said, “You two, get up! This seat is for the major shareholder, and you are not qualified to sit here!”

The conference hall instantly fell silent.

The dozen or so shareholders of the Thompson Group all turned their gaze towards Crystal, Conrad, and Adrienne.

Among these shareholders, there were several who were veterans that had invested in the Thompson Group alongside Hattie during its early entrepreneurial days.

After Hattie’s death, they were very displeased with what Conrad and Adrienne, among others, had done at the Thompson Group.

But all of these were just the Thompson family’s private matters, and they were not willing to say much more.

When Crystal’s brother Wesley was alive, they both hoped that Wesley would become the person to take over Hattie’s role in the Thompson family.

Unfortunately, Wesley met with a car accident and passed away.

Since then, the Thompson Group shareholders‘ meeting has been almost monopolized by Adrienne and her relatives.

Conrad was marginalized by Adrienne and Crystal never participated in the operation and management of the Thompson Group.

Many people even forgot that the Thompson family had a shareholder like Crystal.

Today, Crystal appeared at the shareholders‘ meeting in this posture, and they were immediately impressed.

In a daze. they

Hattie from Crystal.

the confident and decisive demeanor of a young

Crystal suddenly called for a shareholders‘ meeting today as a major shareholder, and entered with such a dominant posture.

It made people wonder, the Thompson family might have had a big change today.

Crystal suddenly appeared in this situation, clearly prepared to take back her ownership and management rights.

After a brief hesitation, Adrienne sneered, “You have never attended the Thompson Group’s shareholders‘ meeting before, and now you want to sit in this position? You are not qualified!”

Crystal laughed and said, “What qualifications do you have to talk to me with your little shares? Get up!”

Adrienne laughed heartily and said, “What if I didn’t get up?”

At the moment, Robin walked in from outside the conference hall and said, “If you don’t get up, I’ll throw you out!”

The shareholders of the Thompson Group looked at Robin together, not understanding what was going on.

Adrienne was alen taken aback “Von? This is the Thompson family

shareholders‘ meeting, who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to meddle in my affairs? Security, throw him out!”

Robin smiled indifferently. “Whether I am qualified or not is not for you to decide.”

Melvin followed Robin as they walked into the conference hall.

Conrad and Adrienne did not understand what Robin’s act meant.

Melvin pointed at several shareholders sitting across from Adrienne, “Have you all signed your share transfer agreements?”

Several shareholders immediately said eagerly, “Mr. Melvin, everything has been taken care of. The Thompson Group shares we held in our hands have all been transferred to Mr. Bruce’s name.”

Adrienne was confused.

These shareholders were all her maternal relatives.

The Thompson Group’s equity in the hands of these relatives was also obtained with her help.

Now it is under Robin’s name, what does this mean?

“What did you do?” Adrienne angrily questioned.

Several relatives from Adrienne’s family smiled helplessly and said, “Mr. Reynell offered a very high price, so we transferred all of our shares to Mr. Bruce.”

“You! How could you do this?” Adrienne never expected something like this to happen.

She stood up and pointed at the shareholders, shouting, “If it weren’t for me, you poor devils would still be struggling!”

hapter 180 The Thompson Group Shareholders‘ Meeting

“How could you sell my shares to Robin without my consent?!”

“The Thompson Group’s situation over the past few years, isn’t it clear to everyone?” several shareholders replied, “If they offer a high price, of course we should sell.”

“The shareholders couldn’t get any dividends at all! Are you asking us to wait for the Thompson Group to go bankrupt with you? We are not foolish!”

“You bunch of white–eyed wolves!” Adrienne was absolutely furious.

The shares held by these relatives in the Thompson Group accounted for a whopping 7 percent!

I didn’t expect that they sold it to Robin at such a critical moment.

Robin handed over the certificate of 7% equity to Crystal and said, “You guys said that Crystal holds 35% of the shares and is qualified to sit in this position!”

In the conference hall of the Thompson Group, there was an instant.

silence.

If so, Crystal is undoubtedly the largest shareholder of the Thompson family.

Even if Garrett arrives at the venue now, with his 30% stake, he can only rank second.

“Hmph! Thinking you can meddle in the Thompson Group with such a small share? You’re thinking too simplistically, aren’t you?!” Adrienne laughed contemptuously.

Conrad and I had a combined share of ten percent, and we gave it all to Garrett.

“Crystal, you bitch, the position of the largest shareholder in the Thompson Group, it’s still not your turn!”

Conrad’s mouth twitched for a moment, indicating that he couldn’t give. his shores to Garrett.

However, when he saw the scene in front of him, the words that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back.

Nora hurriedly walked in from outside and said, “Ms. Baldwin, Mr. Garrett has arrived.”

Adrienne burst into laughter and pointed at Crystal, saying, “You all get out of here! This spot belongs to my son Garrett!”
