Chapter 1440: Chapter 1440 I Am a Shareholder of the Company
However, before Justin Battleson could respond, Charlotte Thompson pushed the door open and walked in.
She almost instantly drew the attention of everyone present.
"Of course there’s a problem."
Charlotte spoke up, answering the question that George Robbins had just asked.
"Why are you here?" Upon seeing Charlotte, an ashen expression instantly fell over George’s face.
"Isn’t this a shareholders’ meeting?"
Charlotte glanced around, then exchanged a look with Justin, offering him a subtle smile.
Upon hearing Charlotte’s question, nearby shareholders naturally nodded.
"This is indeed a shareholders’ meeting, but what does it have to do with you..."
No one knew that Charlotte, just a design director at Riley Group, had suddenly shown up at the shareholders’ meeting with clear intentions.
"Because I’m now a shareholder of the company~"
Charlotte found a chair and sat next to Justin, her eyes scanning everyone present before she slowly said, "And the percentage of shares I hold is second only to the company president, Mr. Battleson."
"Impossible!"
As soon as Charlotte finished her sentence, George slammed his hand on the table, loudly reprimanding.
The table’s dull thud made Charlotte furrow her brows, as she looked up at the visibly furious George and slowly said, "What’s impossible about it?"
As she spoke, Charlotte calmly slid the documents she had brought in front of George.
George picked them up with a face full of puzzlement, and upon seeing the words on them, he began to tremble all over.
"How could this be? Where did you buy these shares? How could there be so many!"
George continuously examined the documents before him, even starting to suspect that Justin and Charlotte had teamed up to deceive him by faking the documents.
But then, Charlotte’s explanation provided an extremely reasonable answer.
"First of all, I joined Riley Group as a shareholder in my capacity as president of Allen Corporation."
Charlotte propped up her chin, speaking nonchalantly:
"As for why my shareholding is so significant, I must thank those shareholders lacking market insight."
When George heard Charlotte’s words, he was momentarily stunned.
It seemed as though he realized something, reaching frantically into his pocket for his phone, possibly trying to call someone, but Charlotte’s voice arrived faster than the phone’s dial tone.
"Mr. Robbins, are you trying to call Samuel Carter? To ask why he didn’t help you repurchase all the shares that were sold off?"
A look of astonishment filled George’s eyes as he turned to look at Charlotte sitting at the table, seeing her grinning at him with her chin propped up.
"What do you know?"
A sense of unease swept over George’s mind, and he looked towards both Charlotte and Justin with added wariness.
"What do you mean by that, Mr. Robbins? I know nothing," Charlotte chose to shake her head innocently.
"I just bought into Riley Group and then acquired some more shares, and I didn’t expect to end up with so many."
George’s eyes were trembling with shock, and he kept retreating until his calf hit a chair, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground.
