Chapter 1601
"I vote... Mr. Reece..."
Lee buried his head deep, not daring to lift it, his whole body trembling.
The scene before Sophie rendered her silent.
She had considered the worst-case scenarios but never imagined that the betrayal would come from a member of the Russell family.
"So, it's clear now."
Jason's face showed a faint smile as he said, "Ms. Sophie, the position of the head of S Corporation will no longer be yours. This is the outcome of the shareholders' vote..."
Before Jason could finish his sentence, Harold's voice came from outside the conference room.
"Who says this is the outcome of all shareholders' vote?"
Harold entered through the door.
Sophie was startled, not expecting Harold to suddenly appear.
"Mr. Jason, did you not carefully calculate the shares of S Corporation?" Harold asked.
There were seven shareholders present.
Four of them were from the Russell family, and three were corporate shareholders.
Actually, looking at the number of people, there was no need to further calculate the shares.
Seeing Harold enter, Jason was not intimidated and said, "Mr. Aldridge doesn't seem to hold any shares of S Corporation, so he doesn't seem to have a say in this shareholders' meeting."
"I indeed don't have a say, but someone does."
Harold took out a share certificate and said, "This is the 1% share of S Corporation held by Mr. Gordon. Mr. Gordon has just conveyed his voting decision to me, this vote, Mr. Gordon gives to Ms. Sophie." Hearing this, Jason frowned.
The other shareholders were also looking at each other.
When did Mr. Gordon acquire shares of S Corporation?
They were unaware.
Looking at the certificate indicating 1% of the shares, Sophie was also stunned.
She was unaware that Gordon held shares of S Corporation.
"This certificate is available for everyone to check. Before the merger between Russell Enterprises and S Corporation, Mr. Gordon held 10% of Russell Enterprises' shares After the merger, it was converted into 1 of S Corporation's shares. Mr. Gordon has always been low-profile, and since it's only 1%, he never attended any shareholders' meeting. But this election is crucial, so Mr. Gordon asked me to convey his intention. I believe no one here has any objection."
The room buzzed with whispers.
None of them were aware of the share situation.
Including Sophie.
But since it was Mr. Gordon's intention, who in the room dared to object?

dared to say no?
Sophie picked up the share certificate from the table, clearly seeing Gordon's signature on it. Moreover, the certificate was clearly stamped with the Russell Enterprises seal.
But the contract looked somewhat yellowed, suggesting it was quite old.
Sophie even saw her father's signature on this contract.
Was this... given to Mr. Gordon by her father?
But why would her father give Mr. Gordon 10% of the Russell family's shares?
And it was stated as a gift, with no substantial benefits received from the Aldridge family.
Sophie's mind was filled with thoughts about the shares,
momentarily forgetting she was in
the middle of a shareholder net
meeting.
