My Substitute CEO Bride

Nash's lips slightly curled into a smile. "Look at you go." Though his words carried disdain, he was also profoundly shocked. The Universal Foundation shares that Nash had given Fabian was only 10%. With Fabian's shares, that made up just 15%.

Even throwing Melody and Theo's shares into the mix brought the number up to 20%. Yet, in less than a month, Fabian had managed to increase his stake to 55%. Fabian replied: [It took me ten years to sharpen this sword. I've been planning this since the day I joined the company.]

Nash returned a thumbs-up emoji. [I rarely admire business moguls, but you've opened my eyes.]

[The day the Young family is revived will be the day Universal Group returns to them.]

After a moment of silence, Nash replied: [So, you have no plans for the company at all?]

[I want to retire.]

Nash's lips twitched. [You're so young, yet you're already thinking of retiring. Don't you have any ambition?]

Who would manage Universal Group if Fabian were to retire? It did not matter if the Young family had Universal Group or not since Nash was not short of money.

If Nash wanted to, he could seclude himself for a couple of months and refine elixirs, which would allow him to create several entities like Universal Group. Even Southern Heaven Pharmaceuticals was likely to have just as bright a future as Universal Group.

At this moment. Fabian was standing on the rooftop of Universal Group's headquarters. Looking down at the city's neon lights, he felt a chill from being so high above.

His goal has always been to have Universal Group in his grasp. Now that he did, he felt somewhat hollow inside. Everything seemed tasteless now that he had achieved his dream.

In Jonford, at Gladwell Sales Office, Luther was staring intently at his phone screen. The chief legal director of Universal Group, Fabian Hughes, had just campaigned to become the company's chairman with a 55% shareholding.

At this moment, Fredrich was also in a state of shock. Had Universal Group really undergone such a sudden change? Was the new chairman's sister really standing in opposition to them? The atmosphere at the scene became oppressive again. Elrog felt his legs go weak. "Damn it..."

He was, after all, the boss of Northway Real Estate and a major shareholder of Northway Group. In the business world, he was someone who could turn the clouds with the wave of a hand and summon rain with the other.

Now, however, his legs were trembling in front of a group of young women.

He had just checked. The woman who first jumped out to take sides was named Melody Stone, the current chairperson of Stone Group. She was the one who wiped out the Eve family and consolidated the business community in Xanthalos.

Stone Group's chairperson, Melody Stone, the King of Eastjon's daughter, Rosella Blanco, Lord of Henley's daughter, Isadora Sloan, and the sister of Universal Group's chairman, Violet Hughes.... These young women who were in their early 20s were capable of causing upheavals in the business world.

Eva arrived late, dressed in

professional attire. The chairman had given her a purple-gold invitation earlier in the day, and she had rushed over immediately after finishing work. She had not even had time to change her clothes, and

fatigue was written all over her

beautiful face.

She walked past a crowd of people blocking the way and headed straight to Hera. "What's going on here?" she asked.

Hera patted the seat beside her that was previously occupied by Melody. "Sit down, grab some popcorn, and watch the drama unfold. They're bullying our employees!" she had not spoken particularly loudly, but her voice had carried across the room

and was heard by everyone. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Hundreds of eyes turned toward Hera. Were those people sitting in those seats merely her employees?

Eva sat down in Melody's seat, her

face showing a trace of her

annoyance. The day before

yesterday, the Sinopharm Office and the Weaver family came causing trouble for Southern Heaven Pharmaceuticals. Now, we have

more bullies. Do they really think we

are easy targets?"

Eva's words struck the crowd like a thunderbolt. Southern Heaven Pharmaceuticals... They were from Southern Heaven Pharmaceuticals!

Just two days prior, the deputy head of the Sinopharm Office collaborated with the Weaver family from Capiton and convened a secret meeting with Southern Heaven Pharmaceuticals at City Hall.

That same day, the deputy was dismissed by the office and placed under investigation. Rumors swirled he had not returned to Capiton but rather, disappeared. Some speculated he had fled out of fear of criminal charges while others whispered he might have been buried.
