Mavis couldn't help but laugh at their reactions. "I knew you all would react this way, but the company is
something I built from scratch. My dedication to it far surpasses yours." She was no less determined
than Moore.
"But Miss Parker, have you considered your core employees? Their families are in Bostrain. Are you
sure they'll follow you to Suham? If they don't go, we'll be facing a massive loss of talent."
"The treatment for those who follow me to Suham will be excellent. I will try my best to bring as many
employees with me as possible. And for those who choose not to go, I've already said that the Bostrain
company will still exist."
She explained calmly and steadily, knowing full well what their reactions would be.
But her words didn't convince anyone; they shook their heads and sighed.
Shareholder A spoke up first, "Regardless of anything else, I disagree! This idea is too risky."
"I'm also firmly against it," shareholder B added. "Young people shouldn't try to bite off more than they
can chew. Otherwise, we'll end up with nothing in the end and waste everyone's time."
"Okay then," shareholder C suggested fairly. "Let's vote by raising our hands and see if there are more
supporters or opponents before deciding whether or not we should continue discussing this topic."
Someone in the crowd proposed an opinion that received widespread agreement.
Mavis remained calm and silent throughout it all.
"Those who agree with relocating the company please raise your hand." Not a single person raised
their hand - including Mavis herself.
"And those who disagree please raise your hand." The shareholders didn't hesitate for a moment;
every one of them raised their hands - unanimously rejecting her proposal.
Mavis showed no reaction whatsoever; instead she watched them continue on with interest.
She hadn't realized when exactly she started handling things like Anthony did - until now.
"Miss Parker," one shareholder began again after seeing her silence linger on too long. "Not even one
person agreed! Even though you hold most of the shares yourself, shouldn't you still consider our
opinions?"
"That's right Miss Parker," another chimed in agreement while nodding his head vigorously. "We know
young people like yourselves dare take risks and challenges head-on but us older folks prefer stability."
Still silent, Mavis exuded an intimidating aura that made them uneasy – unsure what schemes were
brewing inside her mind This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"I understand that none of you can accept my proposal yet," she finally spoke up after some time had
passed since voting ended, "but give yourselves some time to think about it overnight before we
reconvene tomorrow morning."
She checked her watch briefly before standing up abruptly, "I have other matters needing attention so if
there's nothing else, let's adjourn for today."
Although things hadn't gone smoothly during this meeting, everything had gone according to plan – just
as she expected it would from start till finish.
"Lorelai, bring me the financial reports and materials you prepared for the past six months to my office,"
Mavis instructed.
"Okay, Miss Parker," Lorelai replied as she scrambled to gather the requested documents. Meanwhile,
Anthony and Alistair at home were also busy.
"Daddy, when is Mommy coming back?" Alistair asked just moments after they had parted ways.
It wasn't just Alistair who was eagerly awaiting her return; Anthony was watching the seconds tick by as
well. "She'll be back this afternoon," Anthony reassured his son.
"But what are we going to eat? I'm hungry!" Alistair exclaimed with a rumbling stomach. Anthony
suddenly remembered that their little one had only had milk for breakfast and asked if they should go
out or order takeout.
"Daddy, I don't want to eat outside food. Don't you know how to cook?" Alistair batted his big watery
eyes at him pleadingly.
He knew how to cook, but this was Bostrain, an unfamiliar place for him, and he didn't even know
where to buy groceries.
But his son was hungry, and they needed to find a solution quickly. So he asked, "How about sweet
and sour pork?"
Father and son reached a consensus and walked out hand in hand, finding a nearby supermarket to
buy groceries.
Before long, as Mavis entered the house, she was greeted by a delicious aroma.
"What's that delicious smell?"
Alistair ran over with a piece of pork rib in hand excitedly exclaiming, "Mommy! You're back early!"
"I'm done with work, so I come find my Alistair!" Mavis changed into slippers.
After finishing her work at the company, she hurried back home to make sure they weren't bored.
However, it seemed that her worries were unnecessary as she found the father and son getting along
just fine in her absence.
"Mommy, try this!" Alistair didn't wait for her reaction and stuffed a piece of pork rib into her mouth.
Mavis could immediately recognize Anthony's cooking.
The three of them began to enjoy their meal, sharing a silent understanding.
"Is everything going smoothly with the company?" Anthony brought up business matters.
Mavis swallowed the food in her mouth. "Yes, everything is going smoothly."
In truth, she was well aware that if she even hinted at any difficulties to Anthony, he would offer his
help. However, she didn't want to rely on his influence to solve problems in her own company.
Later that night when everyone settled into bed together, Alistair piped up once more, "Daddy Mommy!
Tell me another story please! I can't sleep."
Upon hearing his words, Mavis immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Although she knew she was pretending, Anthony indulged her and began to tell a story.
"Once upon a time, there was a very beautiful little white rabbit. She fell in love at first sight with a grey
rabbit. She crossed oceans and traveled far just to be with that rabbit. At first, the grey rabbit didn't like
her and often made her do things. Other rabbits saw this and called the little white rabbit foolish..."
About twenty minutes passed before Alistair's breathing became even.
Anthony was about to turn off the bedside lamp when suddenly a soft female voice reached his ears.
"And then what happened? Did that little white rabbit find her home?"
He smirked slightly and leaned closer to her ear. "She did find it. She has a loving bunny husband and
son."
As soon as he finished speaking, his lips brushed against her cheek. "Goodnight."
The next day at the board meeting, the shareholders waited for Mavis for quite some time but she
didn't show up.
"Is Miss Parker intentionally standing us up?"
"We're all older than she is. If she doesn't come today, it won't be over!"
"Lorelai! Go call Miss Parker! It's already so late!"
The shareholders hadn't slept well due to yesterday's events and now Mavis had left them hanging
again; they were furious.
"No need. I'm sorry for being late." Although Mavis apologized verbally, there was no hint of remorse on
her face.
She took a sip of coffee from the cup in hand. "Have you all considered yesterday's proposal?"
"We've discussed it thoroughly. It's not feasible at all," one shareholder said firmly. "Let's compromise
by establishing another branch in Suham."
"I don't agree," Mavis shook her head lightly.
Her chances of coming back to Bostrain were slim. If the control wasn't in her hands anymore, she
might lose this position anytime soon.
"Mavis! You're going too far!" One shareholder couldn't contain their anger any longer and slammed his
hand on the table directly. "When you needed help with your finances back then, we helped you out."
Mavis sneered coldly, "Help? Don't make it sound so good. We're all businessmen here doing business
deals together. When each of you invested in our company initially, you demanded shares equivalent to
1. 5 times its market value."
To put it bluntly, it could be seen as extortion under certain circumstances...
