A Matter of Wife and Love

The shareholders no longer continued kicking up a fuss after they heard what Amelie had to say. Amelie cleared her throat after the shareholders were silenced. “If you wish to further understand my skills, you may look up Starlight Media, Knowlit, and the live stream sessions with my ID, Foxy.”

“What? You’re in charge of Starlight Media?”

“Did you say that you’re the boss of Knowlit as well?”

“And you’re Foxy?”

The shareholders were frequent travelers, and they were typically out in search of new businesses or leisure activities. It was rare for them to keep up with things in the entertainment industry. So, even if they had heard of Foxy, they had no idea that Amelie was the one behind the name. Starlight Media’s boss had always been anonymous, so no one could’ve known that it was Amelie, either. Knowlit, on the other hand, had received a lot more attention in recent years, and Amelie had shown up at its events. However, most people assumed that she was working for someone, and they never considered other possibilities.

It was, therefore, a huge shock for everyone to learn that Amelie was the sole person in charge of these three ventures. Even the shareholders, who were experienced figures in the industry, couldn’t imagine themselves generating as much wealth within such a short period of time. The shareholders no longer held the same judgments about Amelie’s skills after that.

Amelie continued to speak calmly. “You won’t have to worry about my loyalty toward Genesis as well. My daughter is Leo’s only real child. If Leo never wakes up, I’ll have to protect Genesis to ensure that my daughter inherits a profitable business in the future.” Amelie felt a sharp ache in her chest after finishing her words.

The shareholders no longer made any protests after that. They simply made a few neutral remarks before they found some excuse to leave the office. Eugene felt like he was finally able to breathe normally after they sent the last shareholder out of the office. “Phew.” Eugene had been genuinely worried for Amelie earlier.

“I was dripping with cold sweat after you suggested that the shareholders retract their investments earlier, Miss Dillon. How were you so sure that they wouldn’t do it?” Eugene was eager to learn a thing or two from her. He wouldn’t have been worried about the investors retracting their funds if Leo had been around. However, after Melissa handled the company for that period of time, the entire system turned into a huge mess, and they had just managed to settle things a while ago. If the investors retracted their funds right then, Genesis would’ve been in huge trouble. They would’ve lost their biggest support.

If I offered for them to retract their investments first, then they would think that the company isn’t lacking in funds. I only shared my personal achievements after that as
