Chapter 267: His Company Was Taken Over
"I'll save you the trouble. The shareholders you're waiting for have arrived!"
Joey and Philip walked into the conference room with cold expressions, followed by the secretary who
didn't have time to stop them.
"President, I'm sorry, I can't stop them..."
The young and beautiful secretary repeatedly bowed to Ben and apologized with an anxious look.
"Get out!"
Ben waved to dismiss the secretary, displaying a powerful vibe of superiority. And then, he looked at
Joey and Philip, who had barged in. A terrifying conjecture flashed across his mind, but on the surface,
he remained calm, saying, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"It's been four years. You seem to have become stupid. Why are you asking such a stupid question?
Haven't I made it clear enough? Alright, since all the department managers are here, I'd like to
announce an important notice."
Joey smiled and took the file folder from Philip. She took out a stack of documents from the folder and
handed them to around ten department managers. She also gave Ben a copy.
And then, Joey said, "Everyone, with the document in your hands, you can see it yourself. I have
bought fifty-one percent of the shares in Phoebus Company. That is to say, I am the largest
shareholder of Phoebus Company and have the highest decision-making right in the company. Now, I
declare that Ben has been removed from the position of President with immediate effect. From now on,
I, Joey Linderman, will become the new President of Phoebus Company!"
Joey added, "By the way, call me Joey. I like being addressed this way."
The entire conference room was in deathly silence!
It was so quiet that even the slightest noise could be heard in the conference room. Mouths stretching
and eyes widened, all the managers turned to look at Joey simultaneously. They were in a daze.
Joey's voice wasn't loud, but it was forceful. Her words shocked everyone, making them shiver,
especially Ben.
When Ben was held the authentic equity certificate and listened to Joey's declaration of victory, his
hand trembled. Instantly, his mind went blank.
He couldn't believe this was really happening!
His company was taken away by Joey overnight. Joey had blindsided him. All of this happened so fast
that he wanted to believe it was just a dream and the woman in front of him was not real.
However, the document in his hands was real, and Joey's voice was real. The managers staring at him
with eyes wide open were also real.
Taking over another company was usually a highly competitive battle, but Joey did it in a fast and
stealthy way. Ben was defeated before he even knew the war had started. And now, he was kicked out
of his company.
How could Ben possibly accept this?
Ben squeezed the paper in his hand into a ball. Ben's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like an
outraged wild beast. He stood up abruptly and approached Joey step by step. "That's impossible. You
couldn't have done this. Even if you've bought everyone's shares overnight, you wouldn't be able to buy NôvelDrama.Org © content.
the 5% owned by Vivian."
He knew about the conflicts and resentments between Joey and Vivian. Even if everyone else in this
world had died, they would not make up with each other. Therefore, he believed that Vivian wouldn't
transfer her 5% equity to Joey, which was a gift from him. Besides, if it did happen, he would have
known it.
Seeing that Ben was about to flip out, Philip hurriedly took a step forward to stand in front of Joey.
However, Joey calmly smiled at Philip and gestured for him to step aside.
Today, she would personally destroy all of Ben's pride and trample him under her feet.
Without the slightest hint of fear, Joey looked Ben in the eye and walked up to him, smiling calmly.
"Whether you believe it or not, accept it or not, this has happened. Don't blame me. You are too eager
to achieve instant success. You tried to take a shortcut and sold 51% of the company's equity, leaving
yourself with less than half of it. You dug this grave for yourself, so you can't blame anyone else!"
Joey knew that Ben was not aware that Vivian had transferred the 5% equity to her last night. That was
why she was able to confront Ben without fear before coming to the company.
Right now, only Joey, Mrs. Linderman, and Vivian herself knew that Vivian was a fraud. She was not
the real second milady of the Moores. Joey knew that Vivian wouldn't want a fourth person to know her
secret, especially not Ben. Vivian believed Ben only took the initiative to make up with her because she
had a noble new identity.
She did not dare to tell Ben that she had transferred her equity to Joey because she was afraid that
Ben would ask her why. She had a reason, but she didn't dare to tell him. Or, to be precise, she
couldn't tell him.
After transferring the 5% equity, Vivian must have a hard time sleeping. She probably had spent the
whole night thinking about how to explain to Ben.
Thinking of this, Joey couldn't help but sneer. Ben had lost the company, so he wouldn't forgive Vivian
easily. Now, she could sit back and wait for the exciting show that Ben and Vivian were about to
perform!
