Chapter 1598
Hearing this, Sophie's heart completely cooled.
During her collaboration with Reece, she had nothing substantial to offer but could only promise shares in Reece Russell Entertainment. However, following the merger between Russell Enterprises and S Corporation, she handed over Russell Entertainment to Reece to manage.
Later, due to issues with a false identity, she gave Reece additional shares, and combined with Russell Entertainment, Reece held thirty percent of the company's shares.
Sophie felt that Reece deserved these shares, and they were her way of compensating him.
For a long time over the past two years, she entrusted the company to Reece's care.
She had always trusted Reece.
Yet, she never expected Reece to betray her at this moment.
"Ms. Sophie? Are you still there?"
Tricia's voice sounded tense.
This situation had become too big, and they couldn't let outsiders know.
If word got out, everyone would know S Corporation was about to change hands.
Sophie felt a chill in her bones.
Even in betrayal, she didn't anticipate Reece would go this far.
"I'll be at the company soon."
Sophie hung up the phone and turned to Colby, saying, "Reece has bought up the floating shares, and now he wants to use his position as the major shareholder for an election vote." Although holding just over forty percent didn't exceed half of the company's shares, it was undeniable that Reece held the majority.
Since he was the largest shareholder, calling for an election vote was within reason.
Even Sophie only had forty percent at this point.
This meant that if the election really did go ahead, and just ten percent of the other shareholders supported Reece, then her position was at risk.
"Don't worry, I'm with you. I'll go with you."
"Okay."
Harold looked on thoughtfully.
"Harold, I'll leave this to you for now."
"Don't worry, I've sent someone to find Odie, we should hear something soon."
"Good."
Sophie and Colby left Aldridge Estate one after the other.
Inside S Corporation, all the shareholders were waiting for Sophie's arrival.
The meeting room was already full.
When Sophie first established S Corporation, Colby was the only shareholder. After Russell Enterprises merged in, the shares were diluted and redistributed.
Colby gave his shares back to Sophie, leaving her with forty percent and Reece with thirty percent.
The rest was held by other
shareholders. Although some held less than two percent, shares in S Corporation had become highly sought after and valuable,
Now, as S Corporation was about to change hands, all shareholders had arrived.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Among these people, some were former high-ranking officials from Russell Enterprises, along with top business entrepreneurs.
Sophie was confident the former Russell Enterprises executives would choose her, but the major business entrepreneurs were a different story.
These entrepreneurs often looked
down on having a woman in charge.
They couldn't have wished for a better opportunity than this change in leadership.
"Ms. Sophie, I am Mr. Reece's assistant. You can call me Jason."
