Chapter 265 Make Sure You Safeguard Your Position
Pausing for a moment, Landon continued, “I also believe that Armand won’t take a useless person as his
wife.”
All the other shareholders nodded in agreement. “I share Mr. Lebon’s sentiments.”
“Then, the results of the voting this time shall prevail. Genevieve Rachford is thereby appointed as the
CEO and will manage Central Group for the time being. Are there any objections?” Landon asked the
shareholders around him.
“No.”
While Samantha persuaded many of the shareholders to side with her, Timothy and Cooper’s intrusion
messed up her plan.
With the biggest shareholder firmly siding with Genevieve then, she could do nothing further.
Noticing Peter’s glance at her, she shook her head with a grim expression on her face.
Peter’s expression promptly turned all the darker. Never had he thought that such would be the result
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhen he had come to Central Group and fought for so long, thinking that his promotion was a sure thing.
“How dare you, Cooper? You’re really something else!” he sneered before stalking off.
Likewise, Samantha got up from her seat languidly and cast her gaze into the distance at Genevieve at
the head of the table. “Do you know of the saying that it’s easy to fight for something but difficult to
maintain it? Make sure that you safeguard your position. Don’t disappoint your husband and the
shareholders.”
The corners of Genevieve’s mouth curved upward, and she smiled faintly. “I’ll definitely commit your
words to memory. I also hope that you’ll be able to safeguard your position when you return to Faulkner
Group.”
Glaring at her coldly, Samantha spun on her heels and left.
After the two siblings left the conference room one after another, the biggest shareholder, Landon, turned
to Genevieve.
With a somber look, he started, “Genevieve, I only said that earlier out of respect for Armand. I’ll give you
two months. If you don’t have anything to show for it but make Central Group’s situation worse instead,
I’ll kick you out immediately!”
“At that time, I’ll leave myself without needing you to kick me out,” Genevieve asserted.
Then, she got to her feet and bowed slightly at Landon with her head lowered. “I thank you and the other
shareholders for the help rendered.”
If it weren’t for his help earlier, she wouldn’t be able to take office so quickly.
“I’m entrusting Central Group to you. Do notify us if Mr. Faulkner regains consciousness.”
Landon chatted with Genevieve for a bit before he left with the other shareholders.
When only the three of them remained in the conference room, Timothy took the lead and clapped his
hands. “Great job! You were incredibly calm throughout it all, Genev! You didn’t even need Cooper to
help you, fighting Peter by yourself instead. Look at his expression when he left. Tsk-tsk!”
Looking at Genevieve from afar, Cooper complimented her as well. “You did very well just now, Genev.”
Her expression earlier showed nary a trace of timidity, and her thought processes remained clear. Every
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsingle word she uttered carried weight, jabbing at Peter’s sore spot and also successfully winning the
shareholders’ confidence. I once thought that she knew nothing other than eating, drinking, and having
fun, being merely a beautiful vase who would be doomed without the support of the Rachford family.
Now, however, I’ve realized that I was wholly wrong. It wasn’t that she didn’t know anything, but no one
taught her.
As he recalled the various despicable deeds of his, he swallowed hard.
Bitterness permeated him.
“Steven had been telling me about the Faulkner family’s matters yesterday. I did my homework and even
drafted a script inwardly, so I was naturally not afraid of him.” Genevieve smiled.
Massaging her numb wrist, she then picked up the coffee on the table after regaining some strength and
took a sip. Subsequently, she asked Cooper, “Armand asked you to come over to Central Group that day
to sell his shares to you?”
“Yeah.” Cooper nodded in affirmation.
At that time, he found it strange that Armand was selling Central Group’s shares to him when they were
obviously on opposing sides.
He put the question to the man right then and there, but the latter merely said that Samantha was on
Peter’s side, so it would be easier to deal with her if he were to buy Central Group’s shares.
