Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1053

Chapter 1053: No reception

Since Zoren called for an emergency vote on whether to appoint Atlas as President, the meeting had to take an hour’s break for deliberation. The board of directors and even the shareholders needed time to process the situation.

"Director William, what is going on here?!" one of the directors panicked, pacing back and forth in William’s office. "How could you not know about this? You said everything was under control!"

"Director William, wasn’t this supposed to be about Mr. Jonathan Pierson? Why is Atlas Bennet here?"

"We can’t let Atlas Bennet become the President of Pierson Corporation. Just this morning, didn’t he warn us... I mean, didn’t he threaten you this morning, Director William? I think that’s what he meant by what he said!"

"We can’t put off this vote. We need to persuade the rest of the board and the shareholders! It’s an emergency vote—this is what the CEO planned, isn’t it?! It’s why he’s been so quiet all this time!"

As William’s lackey panicked with every passing second, William and Jonathan’s faces grew darker. Since it was Zoren and the chairwoman who had called the emergency meeting, they had no choice but to cast their votes, whether they wanted to or not.

And this vote wasn’t just any small vote.

They were putting a completely different person into that spot.

"That Zoren Pierson..." William seethed, pounding his fist on the armrest. His eyes glowed malevolently, and in his mind, he had killed Zoren countless times in all sorts of ways. "Where does he get all these cards up his sleeve?" _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

William punched the armrest again, grinding his teeth in anger. Jonathan, on the other hand, stayed quiet. He simply watched William seethe in anger instead of thinking about how to turn the tables.

A deep exhale escaped Jonathan as he pinched the bridge of his nose. ’This shouldn’t be happening,’ he thought. ’In the past, two years from now, he would have put Dean in that spot.’

Jonathan felt his head throb, realizing that today was supposed to be a day for him to make his presence known. Of course, Jonathan wasn’t expecting much. For him, as long as the Pierson Family, the board, and the stakeholders knew of his existence, he could work his way from there.

Jonathan had avoided things that had led him to failure in his past life as much as possible. However, avoiding them seemed to make things even more complicated.

"If you count Zoren’s supporters and the chairwoman, that wouldn’t even be half of the board," William suddenly spoke sternly, stealing everyone’s attention. "As long as we get a draw, we’ll get another twenty-four hours for the next vote. We need everyone to vote ’no’ or at least make sure it’s a draw."

"How are we going to do that, Director William?"

William’s eyes glinted as he huffed. "Try to get in touch with other board members instead of complaining."

Upon hearing that, his lackeys’ faces twisted. This wouldn’t work. Zoren wouldn’t have called for an emergency vote if he knew his chances were high. The reason Zoren had called for the emergency vote was because he needed it to end in his favor. He wouldn’t let it be a draw.

"How could you all not know about this additional security feature?" Jonathan hissed, suppressing the anger in his voice at these incompetent old men. ’Weren’t these people once Zoren’s biggest supporters? How could they miss such an important detail?’
