Chapter 228
On the day of the Jones Group shareholders' meeting, Jacob and Daisy came to the hospital very
early.
Arya got up early as usual and washed up herself and Xavier.
She was still in her formal clothes. Although she was two months pregnant, no one could distinguish.
She was in the hospital at night and at the company during the day.
Daisy came over with breakfast. She could tell that Arya was tired, though she didn't have any
complaints.
"Leave after breakfast."
Arya did not refuse and ate what Daisy had prepared. Before she left, Daisy grabbed Arya.
Although Daisy wasn't in charge of the company, she also knew that the company was in a mess and
someone was taking the opportunity to dispossess it. She handed Arya a document.
Arya looked at Daisy and did not take it immediately. Daisy held her hand. "Take it. It might be useful to
you, besides, I know little about business."
Arya took it and opened it. It was a document of the Jones Group's shares.
It was known that Xavier accounted for 60 % of the Jones Group's shares. There were still 30 % in the
hands of various shareholders. All the shareholders of the Jones Group also knew that there were still
10 % shares, but no one knew who was holding them.
Xavier had prepared this 10 % of the shares for Bridget since he loved his only sister.
Daisy kept it for her all the time. She understood Xavier's thoughts and she hoped this would be useful
when the company was in difficulties.
Arya held the stock right document tightly in her hand. She was already very relieved that Daisy could
trust her. She looked up at Daisy and said, "What he left me already allows me to enter the
shareholders' meeting. You should keep this first. I'll ask you for it if needed."
Daisy didn't take it either. She was touched by Arya's action. "Just take it with you," Daisy said. NôvelDrama.Org content.
Arya didn't decline anymore. She was touched by Daisy's trust.
After leaving the hospital with Jacob, she didn't go straight to the Jones Group. Instead, she went to
K&T Inc, because all the documents were still in her office.
Then she went to the Jones Group.
The entire office building was surrounded by reporters. It was known that Xavier had an accident. Since
it was the first public meeting after that, they were all concerned about who would take over the group.
Jacob bypassed the front door and drove directly into the underground parking lot.
He was familiar with this place and took Arya upstairs.
Jacob was unsure. He knew he was going to use the D&C Inc case to lure Terrence into the trap. But
he couldn't figure out why Arya would attend the shareholders' meeting today.
Even with the 10 % shares given by Daisy, it would not make a difference. Terrence had 60 % shares
from Xavier and 15 % shares of himself. He now was the biggest shareholder.
Out of concern, he looked back at Arya uneasily. Her face was calm and expressionless. Jacob was
worried, but he didn't ask anything. It would be too late for anything now.
In the conference room on the top floor of the Jones Group, the shareholders' meeting had already
started. Only those with shares in the Jones Group were eligible to participate in the meeting.
As Terrence had not officially become the head of the Jones Group, the front seat was still empty.
All the shareholders knew the affair happened the other day. They knew the fishy things behind the
Jones Group's incident. However, it couldn't be helped, since they were humble. The words of the lowly
carried little weight.
As long as the new appointees could bring them enough benefits, anyone could take charge.
Terrence was in a good mood. He stood up and looked at the shareholders in the conference room. "I
believe you all heard about the accident of Mr. Jones. He can't take charge of the company anymore."
Terrence paused with a serious look, "To be frank, I'm sorry for what happened to him."
The people sitting were silent.
It was undeniable that when Xavier was in charge, he did bring them a lot of fortune.
But now that Xavier had an accident and the situation was far from obvious. So they kept silent.
Terrence sighed slightly, "Well, he entrusted me to manage the company before it happened."
"We don't care who runs the company as long as it doesn't hurt our interests." A shareholder who was
close to Terrence started to talk first.
He voiced his support for Terrence.
No one echoed and everyone remained silent until Terrence continued.
They didn't know the details, but they also heard that Terrence was at odds with Xavier.
But Xavier was not around, no one could stand up even if they didn't want to support Terrence.
Henry had not been around for a long time. Bridget had never taken part in the business of the
company, and she even had gone abroad. So Daisy was the only one left at home, but she was even
worse at business matters.
Terrence opened his mouth ponderously and said to the shareholders, "Don't worry, I will put
everyone's interests first. Now our company is carrying out an acquisition, and its success will bring us
greater benefits."
"Then congratulations to..."
Before the shareholder could finish his sentence, the door of the conference room was suddenly
opened by someone. The people in the conference room subconsciously looked over to see who was
coming back at this time. When they saw that it was a woman, they were stunned. There was no such
person in the company, and the Jones Group shareholders' meeting would not allow others to attend or
listen.
Terrence looked at Arya and his face immediately darkened. He taunted her, "I think you've come to the
wrong place."
Others didn't know who Arya was but Terrence did. And he looked especially unfriendly.
Arya ignored Terrence's words and strode in with a cold look on her face. She walked to the conference
table and sat casually in a seat. Terrence's expression became even worse. "Do you think this is still
the old Jones Group that you can come whenever you want?"
Arya raised her eyes slightly, looked at the angry man, and smiled. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Terrence leisurely sat down in his seat. "What's the hurry? I have the most shares in the Jones Group.
On the contrary, you dare to come without anything. No outsiders are allowed in the shareholders'
meeting of the Jones Group. Don't you know that?"
Terrence emphasized the word "outsiders".
Arya put the document on the desk and glanced at all the shareholders. Her voice was clear and
powerful. "Read it yourself. See I'm qualified or not after watching this document."
The others didn't understand what was going on. They began to look at each other in panic. They didn't
know who was Arya.
The Jones Group's shareholders were all from wealthy families, so they didn't have any information
about Arya.
Even if they heard about her, it was some scandal.
Terrence fixed his eyes on her for a few seconds. He felt a little unconfident looking at her firm look.
Did Xavier have any other jettons in his hands and give them to her?
Terrence winked at his secretary to bring the documents over.
Terrence took it and opened it. The more he looked at it, the darker his face became. He slammed the
folder shut, threw it on the table, and looked at Arya coldly. "You want to participate in the shareholders'
meeting with only a cooperation case document. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Jacob stood behind Arya and worried about her. He didn't know what the document could do.
