Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 1160

Elodie took her place at the head of the table, addressing the room, "Sorry for the delay, everyone. I was waiting for something important. As you all know, I don’t yet have Mr. Burke’s forty-five percent shareholding. I needed to get that transfer agreement before we could wrap up the handover ceremony, right?"

*Knock, knock*—a sound came from outside the boardroom.

"Come in," Elodie said.

Griffin entered and handed a document folder to Elodie, all eyes on him.

"Why the delay?" she asked.

"Sorry."

"It's alright."

The documents were in her hands now, so a little delay didn't matter. She opened the folder and found a thick stack of papers. The first page was blank. She flipped it over and was met with an animated sequence of a turtle, ending with a fist next to the turtle, which slowly raised a middle finger.

"What’s the matter? Didn’t you say you had the share transfer agreement? Why the long face?" Bea asked, her focus solely on the forty-five percent share transfer.

Elodie closed the folder, her tone icy. "Thank you all for electing me as the new head of Burke International. I have other matters to attend to and must leave now."

"Elodie! Wait!"

Just as Bea was about to stop her, the boardroom door swung open.

Sophie walked in, smiling. "Ms. Reeves, why the rush? Didn’t you like the gift I sent you?"
