Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 369 It Was All Gone

"Soon you'll know what I mean," Jean calmly replied, as she took out her phone from her bag.

Joy furrowed her brows. Fear was growing in her mind as she guessed what her stepdaughter was up

to.

"Since my father has difficulty getting around, he can't be present at this board meeting. Nevertheless,

he has shot a video for everyone to see. I believe that you'll understand everything once you are done

watching it." While speaking, Jean hinted at the assistant to connect the projector with her phone. She

wanted to let people see it more clearly on the LED screen.

"No..." As soon as the assistant was signalled, Joy realized why Jean was here today. She was not

stupid.

Her first reaction was to grab Jean's phone, but Jean had already thought of that, and she agilely

dodged her away. Then, the security guards who had stood still till now suddenly moved.

They came into the meeting room one after another and surrounded Joy and Shirley so as to keep

them from coming close to Jean.

"How's that possible?" Shirley was surprised and looked at Jean in disbelief.

"Look at the video first." Jean nodded to the assistant and handed her the phone.

The assistant quickly plugged the phone into the projector. Soon, the pale old face of Henry Wen

appeared on the big LED screen.

"Dear executives, I am Henry Wen." The short opening remarks of Henry turned the meeting room

silent.

Everyone looked at the screen holding their breath in great anticipation of what was to come.

When Jean looked at the screen and saw Henry's face, she was slightly touched.

No matter all the awful things he had done to her, obviously, the Wen Group's prestige and power was

closest to his heart.

It was clear. He was a man who could betray his daughter by any possible means but to advance his

career.

All his life, what else has mattered to him more than his company?

Earlier, Jean thought that Henry favored Joy, Shirley and Winner.

But now, the truth was different.

"After you finish watching this video, you will know what has truly happened. I'm sorry I have't managed

my family well. And I'm sorry for letting you see it. What hurts me the most is that my wife Joy, who I

always held high in regard, and my daughter Shirley forced me to sign the papers of transferring shares

to them."

His words sparked a sensation in the board.

Joy's and Shirley's face turned dead pale.

The moment she knew that Jean had the video, Joy knew it was all gone.

She closed her eyes, ready to accept her fate and grew dreadfully white in front of the whole board.

But Shirley was unabated in her anger. She stared at Jean with popping eyes as hatred was written all

over her face.

"Yes. The doctor has sentenced me to sit on the wheelchair for the rest of my life. But I am not a

useless man. My family has done this to me. I have been heartbroken, and also realize how stupid I

have been. It never occurred to me that the person by my side for the past 20 years is so ruthless and

merciless. Even my daughter did this to me. What's the point in continuing my life?

But, I have an untiring heart. It has taken me several decades to make the Wen Group what it is today.

I can't stand to see it falling into ruin. I have another daughter to whom I owe her a lot. It has been my

mistake to neglect her all these years, but she lives with the truth. In fact, she has never done anything Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

bad to me.

She was married to the famous Mr. Qi, out of necessity, as you all know. In a way, she has sacrificed

the most for the Wen Group, which is why I think she is the most qualified candidate to inherit it as well.

When the Wen Group was first established, it couldn't do without her biological mother, Yvette Wu.

When the Wen Group was developing, it couldn't be what it is without my daughter, Jean Wen.

Therefore, I willingly transfer my shares and the position of chairman of the board to my daughter Jean

Wen, to make up for the years that I have neglected her. And I hope that I can still see my former wife

Yvette..."

With that, Henry's video faltered into silence and the screen turned black.

Jean was taken aback by Henry's confession. A gush of feelings overwhelmed her.

When Henry was making the video, he had asked her to leave.

She didn't think too much of it and rather, willingly walked outside and went to visit Moore.

She had hardly expected Henry to give her the company. But given what he had just said, she knew

that Joy and Shirley were now destined to fail.

The video was new to her and she, like the others, was taking time to digest what he had just said.

When Henry mentioned her mother's name in the video, Jean felt sarcastic.

'You think of us — me and my mother — when Joy and Shirley betray you. Henry Wen, what a pathetic

person you are.'

Still as Henry had predicted, his video had successfully stirred an uproar in the meeting room.

Everything was changed now.

As the board got to a vote after the video, Jean was appointed chairman of the board with a 7:5

majority.

Joy and Shirley looked as if a tornado had hit them. They looked wrecked and aghast at what had just

happened and how things had turned against them. Seeing them miserable, Jean didn't feel happy.

She did come back to the Wen Group to stop Joy and Shirley.

But she never wished to manage the Wen Group. She was now in the position out of no choice.

Approaching Joy's and Shirley's fallen face, Jean slowly walked up to them with a serene smile and

said,"Now did you get my meaning? I will not be so ruthless that I'd cut both of you off all the way."

"What do you want?" Joy sharply looked at Jean with alert eyes.

"You can't return to the Wen family. You must have spent all your money and property to buy the ten

percent of shares. If you still want a place to stay and keep yourselves fed, I'll let you stay in the Wen

Group."

The moment Jean finished speaking, Shirley's eyes glittered and fixed on Jean.

"What's your condition?" It was obvious that Jean wasn't doing this out of kindness. Joy asked about

the catch. After all, she was an experienced woman.

"Joy, I want to make a deal with you." With a frank expression, Jean blurted it out.

"What deal?" A cold laugh came out of Joy as she had already seen this coming.

Jean glanced at Shirley and turned back to Joy, smiling.

Joy instantly understood Jean's meaning and sent Shirley away. Then she turned to Jean,"Now Shirley

is not here. You can say it."

"The deal is simple. Shirley can stay and work, but at the bottom of the company. Since I am her sister,

I will treat her well. You too, can have the villa that you are presently living in."
