She Is A CEO

Lucia glanced coldly at Jacob who was frantic. She turned to Kane and said, "Ignore him. Let's get started."

Kane nodded. He can't wait to get to the head of the conference room and an handed a stack of papers to the people on either side,

"I have two documents here. One is Poppy's last testament, and the other is Poppy's agreement with Jacob about the stock right of the company. Please pass them around."

Jacob's heart skipped a beat when he heard the agreement. He'd forgotten about it for years, but Kane dug it up!

The higher-ups, unaware of Jacob's mixed feelings, began passing around the papers that Kane had handed them. There was no sound but the rustling of papers. Samuel took the opportunity to walk over to Jacob and ask in a low voice,

"Boss, what's next?"

This time, Jacob's aura could not be lifted up. He could only stubbornly hold the"pride" of still being the JTP president, and sat in the main seat without a word, with a gloomy face.

Samuel seemed to understand something. He waved to the others behind him, and they looked at each other. They left the meeting room silently, leaving Samuel standing next to Jacob.

"Is everyone finished?" Kane asked the people in the room after enough time had passed to read both documents.

"Yes..." they answered.

"Let me explain the contents of these two documents," Kane said, in a clear voice,

"The first is Poppy's testament, which, as you can see, gives to Lucia all of Poppy's assets in her name and all of her shares in the JTP, including her identity. The second document is a legal agreement between Jacob and Poppy when they took over the Webbex Group. Although Jacob is ostensibly the owner of 70% shares of the company, the agreement states that Poppy has the right to demand that Jacob relinquish half of the company, or 35% shares of the company, at any time, in any circumstances. Now, Lucia inherits this right, and this agreement is hereby binding."

As soon as Kane spoke, the room was abuzz with talk that Lucia had become the owner of 35% shares of the JTP, and that Jacob had lost control of the company.

Jacob was sitting in his seat. His face was livid. His fists were clenched, and there was nothing he could do.

Kane looked at Lucia, who walked to the chair next to Jacob who was already in hell. She ignored him and looked directly at the higher-ups,Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"I gather everyone here today to inform you internally of this news. I will officially convene a shareholders' meeting tomorrow. At that time, the ownership of the JTP's CEO position will depend on the final vote of the shareholders."

What Lucia said to Jacob was incredibly sarcastic. Was there a vote? She already had 35% of the shares and Arthur had 23%. Together, they owned more than half of the shares. Even if the other shareholders, who did not have time to sell the shares, were on her side. What was the point?

Jacob laughed out loud at this thought. His laughter sounded decadent but still angry, and he suddenly clapped. The sudden applause echoed across the boardroom like a dying man's last stand. "Lucia, you've done well. Poppy is dead, and overnight, you become the biggest beneficiary. How's that? Are you excited?"

Jacob looked sideways at Lucia, mocking her by attributing her situation to Poppy's death.

Lucia's eyes darkened. She turned to Jacob and opened her mouth,

"Jacob, didn't you and Poppy set me up to become the biggest beneficiary overnight? The whole Webbex Group was yours. I was left with nothing. I was uprooted. I was on the wrong side of the tracks. I was on the back of my own efforts and Poppy's final disillusion. You were... on the back of what?!"

"Don't talk about that!" Jacob got up in a huff, "If I hadn't worked so hard for so many years, do you think the original Webbex Group would have grown to the size of JTP today? I built this financial empire. What did you do, Lucia?!"

Arthur saw that Jacob was going mad again and immediately stood up beside Lucia. He didn't say a word, but he had a powerful aura. He was like a dormant beast, being ready to attack.

Lucia looked up at Arthur. Every time when something happened, he would stand by her side. But today's matter could only be solved by her.

She patted Arthur on the arm and took a step forward, facing Jacob and asking him,

"Did

you build this financial empire? Have you forgotten my father, Eric Webb? Webbex Group was built from scratch when my father was young. When he passed away, Webbex Group was already one of the top financial companies in the country. You just borrowed my father's glory and lured me to marry you back then. Wasn't that what you wanted? Now you have the gut to say you built the Webbex Group?!" Jacob was silenced by Lucia's words.

"Without the resources of the WEBBEX Group, without the hard work of my father, what would you have done to make Webbex Group what it is today?! If you have this ability, why not start from scratch, build your enterprise, but covet my father's efforts?!"

With the fire burning in her heart, Lucia would never allow Jacob to sully her father's abilities and his years of hard work.

Jacob's face was as pale as a piece of paper, and there were other voices in his ear.

"Exactly, what would Jacob have done if he hadn't inherited Webbex's connections and resources from earlier?"

"Miss Webb is an MIT graduate and is now the CEO of Jibillion Inc. if she had inherited it, the Webbex Group would have been a much better business."

Hearing the voices of doubts, Jacob was furious but had no words to refute.

"Besides, the wealth you've enjoyed all these years, and the life you've spent so much on, even offering a salary to the most capable leader, have long surpassed it. Do you really feel that you're at a loss?" Lucia sneered and asked Jacob.

Jacob can't answer any of Lucia's questions.
