Chapter 1410: Chapter 1410: Hand Over Management Rights
"Indeed, Mr. Battleson, hasn’t your injury healed yet? If that’s the case, it’s better to rest quietly. We shareholders can help you discuss and handle the company’s affairs."
"Mr. Battleson, after you suddenly got injured and hospitalized, many of the company’s issues were handled with Mr. Robbins’ assistance, allowing our company’s operations to stabilize. I believe, during this period, handing over the company’s management rights to Mr. Robbins shouldn’t be a problem for you, right?"
Although some shareholders were eagerly praising George Robbins, a surprised expression appeared on his face, and he quickly waved his hand, refusing.
"After all, it’s ultimately Mr. Battleson’s company. Although I am the vice president, handing over the management rights to me seems somewhat inappropriate."
Even though George Robbins verbally refused, his eyes unmistakably revealed what was on his mind.
"But I still hope Mr. Battleson can be fair and handle the company’s matters according to our shareholders’ opinions."
After George Robbins finished speaking, everyone’s gaze fell on Justin Battleson’s face, and the atmosphere in the conference room grew tense.
"Hand over the company’s management rights to you?"
Justin Battleson lifted his gaze, his keen eyes landing squarely on George Robbins’ face.
Obviously being at an advantage, for some reason, George Robbins still felt a sense of guilt when meeting Justin Battleson’s eyes.
Even such a calm inquiry from Justin Battleson made George Robbins feel that there was a deeper meaning behind it.
However, this thought quickly vanished from George Robbins’ mind.
After all, he believed he held the winning card, and Justin Battleson had no way to resist his demands.
Unless he didn’t want the entire Riley Group at all.
"Mr. Battleson, the shareholders just think that regarding this matter, I can still speak fairly since I have no relations with Charlotte Thompson that could involve personal feelings."
George Robbins wore a smile, trying to ease the tense atmosphere in the room.
"Today you use the pretext of fairness to have me hand over the management rights. Tomorrow, will you find another reason to make me relinquish my shares, and then Mr. Robbins, you become the major shareholder, and finally..."
Justin Battleson stood up and pointed to the chair he was sitting in.
"This chair would belong to you, right?"
Although Justin Battleson’s voice was calm, every word carried an accusation directed not only at George Robbins but at the other shareholders present as well.
For a moment, everyone exchanged glances, and then George Robbins spoke solemnly to Justin:
"Mr. Battleson, I’ve been with the company for so many years, and I just want you to deal with current affairs more impartially. I didn’t expect you to say this to me."
As he spoke, George Robbins seemed somewhat disappointed, shaking his head.
"If Mr. Battleson thinks this way, then I have nothing to say, and I believe there’s no longer a point in trying to save this company."
With that, George Robbins sighed.
Without caring how Justin Battleson would respond, he directly walked out of the conference room.
With George Robbins taking the lead, those who supported him naturally followed suit.
In no time, more than half of the people in the company’s conference room had left.
