My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1035

In Mr. Pearce's lead, many board members agreed with Mr. Holden's statement.

"Well, since everyone agrees with Mr. Holden, then let's raise our hands and vote for an acting chairman." Jared was alone and could only preside according to the majority opinion now.

"Max, you will preside over the election of the acting chairman," Jared said.

"Okay."

"I will call out the names of the board members in order, and everyone will raise their hands to vote. We will elect the one with the most votes as the acting chairman." Max announced the voting rules.

"Starting with Jared, all those who vote for Jared as acting chairman raise their hands. –Jared has eight votes."

"All those who vote for Mr. Holden as acting chairman raise their hands. –Mr. Holden, four votes."

"Raise your hand for Mr. Pearce as acting chairman. –Three votes for Mr. Pearce."

…

Back in the office, Max could not help but say, "Mr. Johnston, Henry is clearly trying to take advantage of the opportunity to usurp the position. Why did you let him do what he wanted?" Max just watched Henry's smug look in the conference room and felt like punching him in the face. He could not stand that Henry was too eager to usurp the position while his father was ill. He felt Henry was abominable, like those rebellious ministers in ancient times.

"You just saw it; those are his men. That those weasels were sitting there meant they had come prepared. Even if I could stop them today, there is tomorrow and the day after. One day, they are going to make things even worse, and then it will be hard to control." Jared was avoiding a head-on collision with Henry now. During a time when Mr. Johnston Sr. was still in intensive care, angering him would make things worse.

"So, what do we do now? We are only halfway through the cooperation with Martin." Max was worried that Henry would cause trouble for Jared.

"We will go ahead with the cooperation with Martin. You tell Claus to speed up the process and come up with a revenue analysis as soon as possible. Even if there are objections, as long as we have the data in hand, those directors are not stupid, and they won't let a wonderful project go by without seizing it. They won't sacrifice their wallet to help Henry." In Jared's eyes, those people's minds were like exhibits in front of him; he knew them too well.
