Chapter 1454 Embarrassing!
The next day, the shareholders' meeting of Riddle Corporation was officially held.
Riddle Corporation's current situation was worrying, and no matter who the final winner was, it was
destined to suffer a great loss in the short term. The major families had no reservations, and on that
day at the Riddle's building, the media gathered, creating an unprecedented buzz.
Inside the meeting room, all Riddle Corporation shareholders gathered, sitting in three groups. The
atmosphere was extremely tense.
Amidst the noise, Manny, wearing a fitted long dress and an exquisite hairstyle, was escorted by a
group of media and bodyguards, like a star surrounded by the moon, walked in.
Except for her extremely pale complexion, there was no trace of injury on her body.
Behind her were also many members of the Riddle family, all looking arrogant and conceited.
Among them were even Maddox and Daphne.
When the people at the scene saw Maddox and Daphne, there was an uproar.
These days, many people outside had been speculating whether Maddox had been held captive by
Manny, but at this moment, seeing his intact appearance, everyone felt it was unbelievable.
He was actually helping an outsider and going against his own grandson, destroying the foundation of
Riddle Corporation... Everyone felt that Maddox had gone crazy.
Leon wore a snowy white suit, with noble eyebrows and sharp eyes. Sitting in the first seat, he coldly
looked over when he heard the commotion.
Hattie sat next to him. When she saw Manny walk in and didn't see Hunter next to her, a cold glint
flashed in her icy eyes.
Manny's gaze fell on the faces of the Riddle siblings, her eyes filled with hatred, but she said with a
smile, "Leon, Riddle Corporation has been in turmoil recently, suffering great losses, and it's all
because of your poor leadership."
"After deliberation by the board of directors, we've decided to hold a re-election for the successor of the
Riddle family today. Do you have any objections?"
Leon didn't even look at Manny. Instead, his gaze fell on Maddox and Daphne behind her, and his eyes
became extremely cold.
Hattie sneered, tilting her chin up and saying, "It's not your turn to speak about Riddle Corporation's
affairs, you disgusting thing. Go to the side and let our Riddle family members come out and talk!"
She raised her chin and stared at the group of Riddle family members, "Who wants the power of Riddle
Corporation? Come up and talk to me and my brother. Hiding behind a nameless mistress is just
embarrassing!"
Hattie's words not only made the faces of the Riddle family members turn ugly, but also made Manny's
face contort in pain.
Her face had just been stitched up, and she had to apply several layers of makeup to cover the wound.
Every movement caused her intense pain.
She stared at Hattie with a fierce look in her eyes.
The daughters of the Riddle family are always so disgusting!
Nevaeh, Selena, and this little slut are all the same!
Hattie's words reminded everyone present that although everyone knew Manny was the leader of this
storm in the Riddle family, she and Hunter had not officially registered their marriage, and she was still
just a mistress.
What qualifications did a third party who had nothing to do with the Riddle family have to participate in
their power struggle?
Especially since the Riddle family's followers looked up to her, it was all like a joke.
The group of Riddle family members who sided with Manny couldn't bear the mocking looks from
others and looked at Manny with questioning eyes.
They naturally knew that Manny's status was not legitimate, but she had promised them before that it
was not a problem.
Manny walked up to Daphne and reached out to hold her arm. "Hattie, you're wrong. Hunter and I have
registered our marriage, and now I am the legitimate second mistress of the Riddle family."
"According to seniority, you should call me mother."
Daphne avoided Leon's cold gaze.
As for Hattie, she didn't dare to even look at her.
This action represented the fact that Manny and Hunter had registered their marriage, and she and
Maddox knew about it.
Hattie didn't show any sadness in her eyes, and she held her arms and sneered, "A woman who has
been married and has given birth to children by two men, do you deserve to be compared to Aunt
Nevaeh... so dirty!"
Manny's cheek twitched.
Although others didn't understand the meaning of Hattie's words, they understood Manny's words.
They looked at the Riddle family's elderly couple with a sense of admiration. "the Riddle family's old
couple is going to any lengths to help outsiders harm their own descendants..."
"I even suspect that Leon and Hattie are not really the Riddle family's biological children, but those two
illegitimate children are..."
"With Daphne and Maddox as their grandparents, Leon and Hattie are simply unlucky for eight
generations..."
Daphne's heart was sorely pierced by these accusations, and her face became extremely dark.
She didn't want to go against her own grandchildren, but Leon wanted to strip her of her position as the
mistress of the Riddle family and kick her out. He even wanted to kill Ache and Kaitlyn...
With the shortage of Riddle family heirs, what else could Daphne do but help Manny protect Ache and
Kaitlyn?
Daphne looked at Leon's cold face and advised him earnestly, "Leon, if you release Kaitlyn, we can
pretend that none of this ever happened."
"Why bother when there are only four Riddle family heirs left?"
Leon ignored Daphne's plea and stared at Maddox. "Grandpa, are you sure you want to support this
woman and go against me?" Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
All eyes, including those of the media, were focused on Maddox.
Maddox looked at Leon and only said one sentence, "Ache is also my grandson."
There was a commotion.
"My God! Maddox has gone crazy..."
"I thought he was being held captive, but turns out he really is crazy. Is he sick? Ache is a heart patient
and a bastard child. Leon is an outstanding heir and should be chosen by even a blind man, right?"
"What kind of drama is Riddle family performing? I'm so confused..."
Maddox faced countless strange or gloating looks without any expression on his face.
Inside a villa, Selena held a cat while watching the live broadcast.
Upon hearing Maddox's words, Selena's lips curved into a playful smile. "This scene is really
interesting..."
Maddox had worked hard for the Riddle family his whole life, but in his old age, he had to destroy the
economic empire he had built with his own hands...
He had pursued wealth and fame his whole life, but now, just before he stepped into the coffin, he had
trampled on his own face and reputation.
When he regained consciousness and saw this scene, she only hoped he wouldn't die of anger.
Leia, who was also watching the live broadcast, was startled by Selena's laughter and asked curiously,
"Madam Selena, what are you laughing at?"
