The shareholders exchanged glances, each lost in their own thoughts. Despite being Yvonne's daughter, Haley had rarely been involved in the company in recent years due to Joe's deliberate precautions. As a result, they had never really interacted with Haley and were unfamiliar with her true character. When Joe spoke ill of Haley, they naturally took his side.But upon seeing Haley's appearance, everyone wavered. She resembled Yvonne too much, almost like a carbon copy. It was as if they were seeing Yvonne herself standing before them. Upon hearing Haley's words, everyone checked what was trending on social media, only to discover that the top trending topics were all about her. This level of attention was even more intense than that received by A-list celebrities in the entertainment industry.Of course, much of the credit belonged to Joe. As they clicked through the posts one by one, their brows furrowed involuntarily.Lawyer Cruz, acting on behalf of Haley, issued a statement
Joe choked up, his eyes flickering uncontrollably. "The innocent have nothing to fear. All of this is deliberately framed by Haley to set me up. I have nothing more to say!"Stepping out from behind the lady, Haley's gaze was mocking. "That's not how it works. You accuse me of framing you, so you must provide evidence, right?"Joe glared fiercely at Haley. "You did it on purpose!"Haley raised her eyebrows, nodding gently. "Yes, I did it on purpose. But I can guarantee that everything I say is true. Can you?"Could he? Of course not! No one knew better than him that those so-called plagiarisms and the topics on social media were all bought with money. As for the shares, it was indeed a trap set by him for Haley.Seeing Joe speechless, the shareholders' opinion began to shift gradually."Joe, we originally thought you just lacked ability, but now it seems you're the one rotten to the core!""With you as the president of JY, it's simply embarrassing!""If only Yvonne were here. W
"Shane! It's Shane Ford!""Mr. Ford, what brings you here? This is the meeting room of our company, JY!"Shane stood in front of Haley and glanced lightly at the person who spoke, his lips curling slightly as he spoke, "To pick up my wife. Do you have any objections?"The person met Shane's cold gaze and immediately fell silent. Who would dare to object? Mr. Ford's reputation was not just for show. It was as formidable as the devil himself.Joe stood frozen in place, staring foolishly at Shane, feeling another ominous premonition rising in his heart."Mr. Ford, this is JY's meeting room. Please leave!" Shane was holding Haley's hand. Upon hearing this, he lifted his gaze, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips."You're mistaken, Mr. Carter. The one who should leave is you."Before Joe could comprehend the true meaning of these words, the noise of footsteps outside the door interrupted. Several police officers in uniforms walked in and said, "Who is Joe Carter?"Jo
However, despite this, their opinions remained unshakeable. Haley had never managed a company before, and they were hesitant to entrust their entire fortunes to a mere inexperienced girl. Facing the shareholders' doubts, Haley remained unfazed. "The shares Joe cheated from me will be retrieved as soon as possible. By then, I will become the largest shareholder of JY, and this is an unchangeable fact."The crowd tensed at her words. Haley's argument was not without merit. According to the company's regulations, after Joe stepped down, no one's shares could surpass hers. But did they really want to hand the company over to Haley? They were unsure, yet they couldn't think of a better alternative.Finally, Declan Wilson, sitting beside Haley, spoke up. "Miss Haley, the future plans you've presented are indeed enticing, but how can we be sure you're not just painting rosy pictures?"A subtle smile played on Haley's lips as she responded, "I've heard that the design department at JY h
He knew very well that his heart beat only for one person. In fact, he had long known that although Haley had a gentle and meek demeanor, she was never content to be a caged bird. She had a pair of beautiful wings, always ready to soar high into the sky.As Haley confidently addressed the shareholders, saying, "Given all the online buzz lately, I'm confident that many will remember our JY's name. Once word spreads, won't we attract top-notch designers?"The shareholders exchanged glances, their hearts beginning to waver. With years of experience in the business world, they were known for their shrewdness. They consistently prioritized tangible gains, firmly convinced that only what they could hold was genuinely theirs.But at this moment, hearing Haley's words, everyone could not help but feel a surge of excitement, as if what they had been hoping for would soon come true. Of course, there were still a few scattered shareholders who remained skeptical of Haley's reliability. But
When Zoe and Xena heard the news, they were at home cursing Haley. Their plan was nearly flawless, and they could not understand why it had been exposed. What left them most despairing was Xena's expulsion from Jasper City University. Despite Xena's average academic performance since childhood, Joe had spent a lot of money to please Zoe and Xena. Although Xena had successfully married into a wealthy family and would not need to go out to work in the future, she would never be able to hold her head high in elite social circles. How could they not be furious? Xena paced back and forth in the living room, tightly gripping her skirt as if she wanted to tear it apart. "Haley, this little bitch, is really up to no good. How dare she bite back at me!" Zoe also had a splitting headache. "Damn it, if we had known this little wild seed would be so troublesome, we should have..." She stopped mid-sentence, abruptly cutting herself off. Xena was too upset to hear what she had said. She so
Capitalizing on this development, many, like Yvonne, seized the opportunity to establish their own companies. However, few could match Yvonne's abilities and achievements. As people outside remarked, Yvonne herself was a miracle.Hearing him earnestly utter the words "our mom," Haley could not help but blush. "That's my mom.""Yeah, you're mine, so your mom is my mom too," Shane replied, his head slightly lowered, a playful glint flickering in his deep eyes. The light cast upon him added a subtle glow, making him irresistible to look away from.Haley quietly gazed at him, her eyes softening. Unable to resist his gaze, Shane curiously asked, "What are you thinking?""I'm thinking... it's really nice to have met you," Haley replied, her heart fluttering.Shane was momentarily stunned, a complex mix of emotions stirring within him. Before he could respond, Haley continued, "If you were the one I had a marriage contract with from the beginning, how wonderful would that be?"Over the
Just then, a playful voice came from behind, "Looks like we came at the wrong time, huh?"Sorry to interrupt, really sorry! Should we go first?" Shane and Haley turned around to see a red luxury car parked by the roadside. Henry was sitting in the driver's seat with one hand on the steering wheel and the other supporting his chin. His eyes were fixed on them, seemingly still wanting more. In the passenger seat, Zac remained expressionless as ever, though there was a slight uptick at the corners of his mouth. If one did not look closely, it would not be noticeable at all. Haley could not help but blush and quickly pushed Shane away. Covering her face, she wished she could find a hole to hide in. When did these two arrive? How come she didn't hear a thing? Seeing what Haley was thinking, Henry said, "You two were so focused on kissing just now. I regret not taking out my phone and capturing the moment. Tsk tsk tsk..." Seeing his regretful expression, Shane's temples throbbed
