The Woman From Hell

The moment I saw Cindy, she grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the conference room. I waved my hands at Florence in a panic. She also looked surprised as she watched Cindy and I leave.

I turned to Cindy, who was grabbing me. She was unexpectedly dressed well today. The Chanel-esque suit looked quite charming on her. She no longer gave off the innocence of a young girl as she used to after having married. "Cindy, Cindy!" I called her name, trying to get her to stop, but she continued moving forward. Seeing that we were only one corner away from the conference room, I pulled her with all my might. "Cindy!" She was pulled back by the inertia and stopped. Cindy looked at me, her delicately made-up face filled with solemnity.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

It was rare to see her like this. I first led her to a corner. The area near the stairs was almost void of people. I could only voice my questions in a quiet environment like this.

I looked into her eyes and asked leisurely, "Did you ask me to come here today to stop Delia from being a shareholder?"

Based on what I found out just now and looking at Cindy's posture now, I could easily guess what she intended on doing after putting the pieces together, especially with what she said when she went to Green Orange that day. Sure enough, Cindy nodded. "Yes. Almost all the shareholders are in the meeting room now. There'll be a vote to decide whether Delia can become a shareholder of Grant Corporation at two in the afternoon."

"But what does that have to do with me?" Theo and I were already divorced. I should not have a part in this battle.

"I remember Theowy giving you 3% of the shares, so you also have the right to vote." Seeing my dazed expression, Cindy asked with surprise, "Don't tell me you didn't know about this?"

The truth was I had no idea.

I shook my head. "He really didn't mention this."

If Cindy had not told me about it, I would not have known that Theo had made me a shareholder of the company. Since he did not ask for them back after we got divorced, could it be meant to be compensation?

"Oh, now is not the time for you to be wondering about this. Let's goin quick." Cindy glanced at her watch. Seeing that it was almost time, she tried to pull me in.

"Wait a minute." I was still not clear about the situation. How could I go in now?

Cindy frowned. She was already looking slightly displeased. "What are you waiting for? Wait any longer and it'll really be too late."

"Aren't there six other shareholders in Grant Corporation?"

There were four other people besides Cindy and me, and Theo had the lead.

"Yes, but who knows if that woman, Delia, has already bribed those people inside." One could see how worried Cindy was.

My brows were furrowed as my heart started pounding, but my tone remained calm. "I believe they'll make the right decision. "Let's go." "Alright."

Walking side by side with Cindy, we headed toward the conference room.

Every step I took felt extraordinarily heavy as if there were chains around my feet.

We reached the door leading into the conference room. Cindy was about to open the door and go in when l heard Delia's voice inside. I quickly reached out to stop her, motioning for us to listen first. Cindy got what I meant and stopped.

Despite a door being between us, Delia's voice still sounded clear.

"I know you all must have a lot of thoughts, but i'm carrying Theo's child now. We'll go and get our certificate after everything dies down. Hence, this is the best time for me to become a shareholder. Getting all of this done in advance will also help auxiliary management of the company in the future."

This woman had really clear arrangements.
