This is one of the gems from the four great families!
"This is the proof."
Claire looked at Sophie with a playful glint in her eyes. "This is the Russell family's heirloom. Back when I was a sickly child, my parents turned this gem into an amulet necklace and hung it around my neck. Ms. Sophie... you don't have one, do you?"
As Sophie stayed silent, Claire glanced around at the surrounding crowd. "If anyone's skeptical, you can check the records. I've worn this necklace since I was a kid. I remember being interviewed several times when I was younger, and my parents always mentioned the necklace around my neck. It's all over the internet."
Sophie remained speechless.
James stepped forward, his voice icy, "Claire is the rightful heiress of the Russell family, and all the original assets... including S Corporation, belong to Ms. Claire personally."
The shareholders erupted in chaos.
"Why?! This isn't fair!"
"I'm not accepting this either!"
"S Corporation is Ms. Sophie's life's work! How can we just hand it over to a stranger?"
"Exactly! We've stood by Ms. Sophie and built this company from the ground up. We can't let some outsider waltz in and take it away!"
"We only recognize Ms. Sophie! Whether this woman is the Russell heiress or not, we won't stand for her taking control of the company!"
The noise from the shareholders grew louder and more intense.
Sophie glanced at the people standing behind her, memories of the past washing over her. The Russell family had faced many challenges, and these were the folks who had always stood by her side.
Now, they were still with her.
She wouldn't lose.
