The attendees were all business people.
So Phillip Ford, speaking from a standpoint of profit, immediately made them empathize and agree with his proposal.
"Even if the Quinn Group was originally funded by July Quinn, so what? Over the years, it’s been Mr. Quinn managing the company and developing it to its current scale."
"July Quinn has no management experience. If she takes over and ruins the company, our money will go down the drain. Who will be responsible for us then?"
"Elder Cole, don’t just focus on fulfilling Old Master Quinn’s last wishes while ignoring everyone’s interests. Besides, the company’s survival also involves the livelihood of thousands of people."
Elder Cole didn’t expect so many people to suddenly object and refuse to sign the transfer agreement. He was at a loss and had to look at July Quinn.
July Quinn, however, smiled and walked to the head of the conference table.
"You all know I was late today, but do you know why I was late?"
Mentioning this, Charles Quinn’s eyes were evasive because he knew the reason for July’s lateness better than anyone.
Phillip Ford, unable to wait for Charles Quinn to speak, decided to speak up himself:
"That’s your personal matter. We have no right to ask, nor do we need to know."
"President Ford, this is not just my personal matter. It was a setup by someone trying to prevent me from appearing at this meeting."
July Quinn, done with idle chatter, decisively used the conference room projector to display a video she captured earlier with a pinhole camera showing Nina Quinn boasting about the kidnapping.
In addition, there was footage from a roadside surveillance camera showing Nina being handcuffed and put into a police car. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
After watching these scenes, the conference room erupted.
"Is Nina Quinn really so wicked?"
"I think she did it at her father’s behest. Think about it, if July Quinn couldn’t show up today, who would benefit in the end?"
"July Quinn provided them with so much money, allowing them to enjoy a wealthy life for so many years. It’s one thing for them not to be grateful, but now they actually want July’s life just to keep the wealth. This is truly vicious!"
Not only did the shareholders feel injustice for July Quinn, but even Elder Cole was filled with righteous indignation.
"Charles Quinn, you have nerve!"
Just now, July Quinn’s voice on the phone had been so calm that he thought July was simply caught up in some trivial matter.
But it turns out she had just endured a life-and-death ordeal.
The person who subjected her to this ordeal was Charles Quinn.
And he was also covertly inciting other shareholders to veto July Quinn behind her back.
At that moment, Elder Cole found Charles Quinn utterly revolting and disgusting.
"Elder Cole, it wasn’t me, truly it wasn’t. All of this was Nina’s doing, I had no idea."
Charles Quinn now only wanted to clear his name.
Anyway, Nina’s true nature has been exposed and she’s essentially done for.
And since this was her idea, let her bear the full blame.
July Quinn was not surprised by Charles Quinn’s evasion.
So she didn’t directly confront Charles, but instead, coldly questioned Phillip Ford.
"President Ford seemed to already know that I would be late today, or not show up at all, which is why you’ve been provoking other shareholders not to agree to the transfer agreement. Can I assume that you also knew about Nina Quinn’s plan to hire someone to kill me?"
"I did not. If I knew Nina Quinn’s plan, I wouldn’t have gone along with them."
Nina hiring a hitman and implicating him would mean jail time.
Phillip Ford had a successful career and a happy family; why would he risk it all by doing something so foolish?
So not only did he deny responsibility, but he also shifted the blame to Charles Quinn: "It was him! He told me that you would definitely be late today..."
