Chapter 161

Jacqueline felt that the atmosphere was not right when she stepped

into the house.

When she walked into the living room and saw Shelly's eyes as red and

swollen as walnuts, she quickly asked, "What, what happened?" Her

daughter, whom she had loved since she was little, was crying like this,

so she was naturally distressed.

Shelly sobbed while giving a short account of what happened.

After hearing this, Jacqueline was sad and angry and scolded, "You are

really stupid. Even if you don't like Joyce, you can't sacrifice the

interests of the group! You didn't even ask me about such a big matter!

I certainly won't allow you to do such a stupid thing either."

"Auntie, it has been announced on the company forum that the design

that Shelly took was a fake one, and this time it didn't affect the group's

interests.” Charlotte had been present later, she was clear about the

whole thing, and later she saw Casey's affirmation posted on the

company forum.

"Fortunately, you didn't cause big trouble. If there were serious

consequences, those people could impeach me in the board meeting,

do you know that? I don't have many shares, and if I am impeached by

the shareholders, there will be no place for me in the group.”

Jacqueline frowned and said, "Next time, don't do such a stupid thing.

No, there won't be a next time!"

“I called Luther before I got back and he was going to Mufron on a

business trip for a few days. It's a good thing he's not going back to the

Warner family these days. If he told Stephanie, it would be a huge

disadvantage for us. You should stay home these days until things

settle down.” Jacqueline said with resentment.

"Grandma is biased ... Urgh..." Shelly cried out again.

"Bear with me. Pray that your grandmother doesn't know about this.

Didn't you hear what Mr. Baldwin said last time? Until the last moment,

your grandmother is allowed to amend the will. Aren't you afraid that

you will be deprived of your share?" Jacqueline nudged Shelly.

"Right, Mom, what about it? I don't want to lose my shares! I've been

fired from the project team today, I must get my shares to join the board

of directors later!" Shelly wiped a handful of tears from her eyes and

started to get anxious. She had gotten into trouble disregarding all the

consequences.

"How do I know she won't know!" Jacqueline said, "That's why I say

you should think twice before you do anything! What time is it now,

can't you just wait? How many days does your grandmother have to

live? Can't wait a few days?"

Shelly shouted, "Grandma looks even better lately! I just went to visit

her the day before yesterday!"

"What?" Jacqueline was surprised, "Could it be the new Mufron

immune cell targeting drug that the doctor finally prescribed? If that's

the case, the old lady could live another year and a half. Damn, I was

told to prepare for the funeral and then the new drug took effect. The

old woman is not going to die I am afraid.” Jacqueline muttered in a low

voice, thinking to herself that this was not a good sign.

Geez, there was just not an end to the whole thing. How long did she

have to stay up before she got on the board!

Mother and daughter conversed for a long while before they

remembered that they were not the only two in the living room.

Charlotte was still around.

The two of them dared to discuss the matter of their own property

inheritance and shares in front of an outsider.

Jacqueline looked awkwardly at Charlotte, "Charlotte, we just

actually...”

"Auntie, don't worry. I won't say anything." Charlotte immediately

understood what she meant and replied decently, "Besides, you will be

my mother-in-law soon, and I will try my best to help you no matter

what happens.”
