Chapter 005 Taking Over Hatchworks Group "Mrs.Hill, please say a few words!"
With a polite smile on her face, Lena announced confidently, "Thank you for your concern! Mr.White and Eileen will hold their wedding as planned.However, we can't reveal the exact date for the time being.Please give them some space.Thank you!"
"I heard that Old Mr.Hill wrote a will about Miss Molly taking over Hatchworks Group.Is it true?"
"Uh...Of course, it's not true! Please don't believe in rumors.We won't let an inexperienced person like Molly take charge of such a big company."
Lena was very clear about Molly's personality.
Molly was a weak and dimwitted pushover since she was a child.
Lena had enough confidence to hold onto Molly and convince her to give up her inheritance right...
Meanwhile, Molly and Chris walked out of the cemetery one after another.
"Miss Molly, is it true that you will be taking over Hatchworks Group?"
"Is it true about Old Mr.Hill's will that he handed over the company to you?"
Facing the questions of the media, Molly said calmly, "Yes, it's true!"
The simple answer from Molly gave Lena a metaphorical slap on the face.
"Miss Molly, can you please tell us more about the contents of the will?"
"Regarding the matter of the will, I have already entrusted the lawyer with full authority to handle it.The follow-up press conference will be held soon, and the contents of the will will be announced.Thank you
for your concern."
Lena curled her lips in embarrassment and gritted her teeth as she glared at Molly.
They hadn't seen each other for a few years, and she had grown up!
"Molly, you can't say something so irresponsible in front of the reporters! Have you consulted your father for his opinion on the will? What about the board of directors? Have you asked for their approval? Your grandfather has just been buried, and you intend to snatch the position of chairman from your father?!"
Lena hissed sarcastically and glared at Molly fiercely.
Molly looked straight into Lena's eyes and quipped, "I'm just following Grandpa's wishes! If you have any questions or dissatisfaction, please contact my lawyer."
After saying that, Molly ignored Lena and followed Chris into the car that came in...
"You...little bitch..."
Lena was so exasperated that her heart was about to explode.
Molly seemed to have turned over a new leaf after disappearing for a few years.It must be Chris who gave her advice and provided her strategies to attack them.
Otherwise, with her intelligence and character, Molly wouldn't dare to be so pompous and confident...
Three days later...
A board meeting was held in the commercial building of Hatchworks Group.
Tyler, Lena, Ryan, and Noah, as well as Mr.Sam and Mr.Jean, the other two directors, attended the board meeting as promised.
To everyone's surprise, Ivan also attended the board meeting.
He held 15% of Hatchworks Group's shares, but he never participated in the company's internal management or any kind of meetings.
Back then, he invested in Hatchworks Group completely out of consideration for Eileen and her family.
"Mr.White, we're so honored to have you here with us today."
Mr.Sam and Mr.Jean were eager to please Ivan as if he was the backbone of the company.
Ivan sat on the chair with a gloomy face, charismatic and cold.He was indifferent to their greetings.
Even if he did not speak, he exuded an overwhelming aura.
After a while, Molly arrived.
Today, she was wearing a Chanel black jacket with a white striped shirt underneath.
She wore black-rimmed glasses, and her hair was neatly tied up.
She applied light makeup on her delicate face, and her maroon lips emphasized her intelligence and frigidness.
She looked like a professional businesswoman!
"Those who are irrelevant, please leave the room.This is a board meeting, not a family meeting"
Molly glanced indifferently at Lena and her two stepbrothers and mercilessly ordered them to leave.
When Lena heard this, she snarled fiercely.
"Hah! You're so cocky now.You do realize that you haven't become the chairman yet, right? But you're acting like one now! Molly, anyone here is more experienced and capable than you! They are more qualified to take over the chairman position than you!"
"Hatchworks is such a big company.Do you really have the ability to manage it well?"
The young and impulsive Ryan slammed the table hard and barked, "Mom's right! Who do you think you are?! How dare you snatch the position from Dad! What have you done for the company? Do you think you're so powerful now? Grandpa was old and muddle-headed when he wrote the will, so it doesn't count! Get the hell out of here, or I'll kick you out myself!"
Gerard Fleet, Molly's lawyer, who was standing beside her, pushed his glasses and conferred, "Mr.Hill, Mrs.Hill, please behave yourself, or Miss Hill can sue you for slander and threat."
"Hah! Who are you trying to scare? Can she afford a lawyer?"
Hearing this, Molly glanced at Ryan coldly and called for the assistant outside the door.Not long later, a group of burly security guards barged into the conference room.
"Those who are irrelevant, please leave."
"I won't! Let's see what you're going to do to me.I dare you."
The security guards stretched out their arms and politely and forcefully motioned for Lena and the others to leave the room.
"This is my company.Do you dare to touch me? No, I won't leave.Make me!"
The security guards did not dare to force them out for real.
Seeing this, Ryan became even more arrogant.
"Molly, who do you think you are? Hah, you're so fucking cocky now.Don't think that I won’t slap you just because you're a woman!"
As he spoke, Ryan swung his arm toward Molly's face.He had always been the little tyrant of the family, and Tyler had seen him as his default successor.
Now, Ryan was flustered and exasperated because Molly came in and taken away his inheritance.
Seeing that Molly was about to get slapped, Ivan subconsciously got up from the chair, looking furious and agitated.
But before he could respond further, Molly had already dodged and avoided Ryan's slap.
Then, she twisted the back of his palm and pushed it forward.
Ryan was caught off guard, and he fell on the desk.He knocked his lips on the corner of the desk, and blood flowed out of his mouth.
"H-H-How dare you hit him! Ryan, are you okay?"
Lena was heartbroken when she saw Ryan bleeding from his mouth.
"Get them out of here!"
"Yes, Miss Hill!"
The leader of the security team forcefully pulled Ryan and the others out. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Looking at the blood on her hand, Molly frowned in annoyance and blurted, "Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.Please give me a minute."
After saying that, Molly went straight out of the conference room and walked to the restroom.
Just as she turned on the tap and was about to wash the blood on her hand, the door of the bathroom was pushed open, and Ivan walked in.
