Chapter 552 So, It Was Him
“Nygard Group hasn’t taken a real step forward in years. A change in ownership is the only viable way out.”
Several shareholders who had already been bought over by Regina stood up one after another, openly speaking on her behalf.
As for some of the minor shareholders, they had long since sold their shares to her at high prices.
That was why Regina now carried herself with such confidence, even arrogance, as she looked at Amelia standing alone.
She sneered inwardly—so what if this brat had Jeremy backing her?
No matter how powerful that man was, he couldn’t possibly stretch his hand fully into the Nygard Group.
Additionally, Wade was constantly blocking and stirring things up behind the scenes, which likely meant that Jeremy was already stretched thin.
Now she had shareholder support, and more importantly, she held the largest stake of all.
Her shareholding exceeded Amelia’s, and she had shareholders firmly on her side.
There was simply no way she could lose.
Amelia had naturally anticipated that this woman would buy off shareholders and acquire Nygard shares at a premium.
That was why she had already coordinated everything in advance with Elian.
He had been tasked with handling, negotiating, and pulling in support from the shareholder side.
Although the shares transferred by Thea and Ursula weren’t particularly large, her holdings and Regina’s were likely very close.
Either they were evenly matched, or one side exceeded the other by only a small margin.
This meant that the shareholders played a decisive role in the outcome.
Either it came down to share count-or, when the numbers were nearly equal, to who could secure the backing of the board and senior management.

At that moment, Amelia’s gaze shifted toward the shareholders’ section.
More precisely, it landed on Elian.
Finished
Elian felt the weight of two gazes falling on him and naturally couldn’t continue sitting there in
silence.
This was the moment he had to make his stance clear.
He rose unhurriedly and walked to the front, facing everyone.
“Nygard Group’s internal situation is indeed somewhat chaotic right now. But I believe this is only temporary.
“Because we’ll soon choose someone truly capable to take over Nygard Group-and ensure it reaches an even higher level.”
He delivered a few carefully worded, official-sounding remarks.
“Exactly. Mr. Carter is a man who understands the times-and knows how to make the right choice,” Regina cut in immediately.
She knew better than anyone that Elian carried the most authority and influence among both shareholders and executives.
That was why she looked at him with complete confidence, certain he knew which side to choose.
Amelia was watching Elian as well.
At this point, she couldn’t think of a better solution that wouldn’t damage Nygard Group’s
interests.
She had no intention of letting her battle with Regina turn into a mutual destruction scenario.
That was precisely why she had sought Elian out for discussion and cooperation-it was the most stable, least risky path.
The meeting room fell deathly silent. No one else dared to breathe too loudly.
This was a battlefield without gunfire, reserved for the true power players.
The smaller figures knew better than to speak-they could only wait for the situation to become clear before choosing sides.
At that moment, every single pair of eyes was fixed on Elian.

His stance had become the decisive factor.
Elian’s face remained expressionless, as calm and restrained as ever.
Only he knew how agonizing this decision was.
After a long pause, he finally spoke.
“Ms. Jenkins is right. Nygard Group is indeed due for an infusion of fresh blood. The Nygard family is no longer suitable to manage the company.”
“I’ve discussed this with some of the shareholders who stand with me. We all agree that Ms. Jenkins should become the new leader of Nygard Group.”
Elian’s words fell like a massive stone dropped into still water, sending waves rippling outward.
