Chapter 423: Have You No Shame?

โ€œLetโ€™s just drop it. Thereโ€™s no point in continuing this meeting. Itโ€™s a waste of time.โ€

A few directors stood to leave after the statement. Fortunately, Janessa, mentally prepared, remained calm.

โ€œLadies and gentlemen, please let me finish. Do you think Iโ€™d have the audacity to stand here without support, seeking your approval?โ€

Janessa smiled confidently, producing documents from a folder and presenting them to the shareholders.

โ€œWhat is this?โ€

โ€œWhat on earth is this?โ€

Confusion rippled through the shareholders.

Janessa smiled. โ€œThis is my fatherโ€™s will.โ€

โ€œWhat?โ€

โ€œThereโ€™s a will? Is the Chairmanโ€™s health failing?โ€

โ€œShow us the will.โ€

Several shareholders seized the will and scrutinized it. Janessa calmly handed it over, her smile widening.

โ€œLadies and gentlemen, my fatherโ€™s will transfers thirty percent of his company shares to me. Isnโ€™t this proof of how much he valued me?โ€

The shareholders intensely analyzed the will. Its contents largely matched Janessaโ€™s claims; she hadnโ€™t lied.

Had Rupert truly bequeathed his inheritance to his illegitimate daughter? For a moment, everyone was stunned. However, the will, bearing Rupertโ€™s seal, was undeniable. Janessa appeared to have secured control of the company. Even deeply dissatisfied, the shareholders remained silent.

โ€œLadies and gentlemen, this was my fatherโ€™s decision. I hope youโ€™ll respect his wishes. Your cooperation would be greatly appreciated.โ€

Janessa gave a curt bow, her gesture lacking respect, appearing smug instead. The shareholders sighed, speechless.

Just as acceptance settled, the conference room door burst open.

Scarlet stormed in, declaring, โ€œI donโ€™t agree!โ€

All eyes turned to the Chairmanโ€™s wife, who, with her daughter, rushed toward Janessa.

โ€œJanessa, your father is still alive! You dare seize power openly? You have some nerve!โ€

Scarlet raged, her eyes wide. Cheryl and her brother, Caleb, glared with indignation.

Janessa laughed. โ€œOf course, I know my father isnโ€™t dead. But shouldnโ€™t we prepare for the unforeseen?โ€

โ€œEven if we had to prepare, your father would never choose you!โ€ Scarlet shouted.

Janessa scoffed. โ€œWhy wouldnโ€™t he?โ€

โ€œMy capabilities surpass Cheryl and Caleb. Everyoneโ€™s witnessed that. Dad is choosing a competent successor, not playing house. Besides,โ€ she said, holding up the will, โ€œeverything is clearly stated here. If you want to argue, take it up with Father. Can we stop wasting time, please?โ€

Janessa looked at Scarlet and her children with disdain, viewing them as insignificant.

Scarlet snatched the will, her eyes widening in rage.

โ€œImpossible! This canโ€™t be!โ€

โ€œWhatโ€™s impossible?โ€ Janessa scoffed.

Scarlet lashed out. โ€œThis will is a forgery! You fabricated it to seize power! Youโ€™re ruthless!โ€

โ€œExactly, how could our father possibly pass on the inheritance to you? Stop bluffing!โ€ Cheryl added.

โ€œMe, shameless? Me, showing off?โ€ Janessa scoffed, surprised by their stubborn denial.

โ€œFine then. If you claim my will is a forgery, present your evidence.โ€

Janessa raised her voice, ensuring everyone heard. โ€œThe will was personally drafted by our father, and it bears his sealโ€”a seal everyone knows about! My father hides it well; an ordinary person couldnโ€™t obtain it. How could I forge it? Do you think I have supernatural abilities?โ€

โ€œYouโ€™re unwilling to accept the truth. Fine. Bring forth evidence of my alleged forgery. Donโ€™t make baseless accusations!โ€

Ignoring the trio, Janessa addressed the board. โ€œThank you for attending. Iโ€™ve said all I needed to say. I hope for your future cooperation. Meeting dismissed!โ€

Janessa, clutching the will, pushed past Scarlet and her children, departing with haste and determination.

The directors and shareholders shook their heads, helplessly retreating.

โ€œThat wretched woman!โ€ Scarlet exploded, barely containing her fury.

Cheryl stepped forward to calm her mother. โ€œMom, you need to cool down.โ€

โ€œJanessa is right,โ€ they said. โ€œEven if we were certain the will was fake, we lacked evidence.โ€

โ€œYeah, Mom, letโ€™s calm down and find a solution,โ€ Caleb suggested.

Scarlet, overwhelmed by grief and anger, sat on the floor, striking it repeatedly in anguish.

โ€œOh, heavens above, I implore you to see our plight! Spare our Sherritt family from this absurd fate!โ€
