My Mute Bride

Chapter 347 Stay as an Assistant

The air in the Burton Group’s large conference room was heavy and solemn as all the board members of the company were present. “President Burton has arrived.”

Justin arrived late for the meeting. “Apologies, Grandpa and everyone. Sorry for being late.” Arthur looked as black as thunder. Before he could speak, Robin’s mocking voice rang across from Justin. “You’re quite puffed up, aren’t you, Young Master Justin? To think that you could even be late for the board meeting! Do you need someone to personally pick you up for the next meeting?”

Frankie could no longer stand his words. “President Gunson, how could you—”

Just then, an elderly voice rang. “Shut up! What gives you, an assistant, the right to speak here?”

Frankie shuddered before turning to look at Arthur.

Obviously, Arthur wasn’t just expressing his displeasure at Justin’s late arrival for the meeting today. Having stepped down from his position for years, he rarely attended the board of directors’ annual meeting despite being the chairman of the company’s board of directors. Therefore, the fact that he had gone out of his way to call a board meeting this time showed that his dissatisfaction had accumulated to a certain degree. “Since everyone’s here, let’s take our seats.”

The conference room was silent once again.

Then, Arthur said, “As everyone knows, the purpose of today’s board meeting is to have everyone vote on the motion to remove Justin from his position as the Burton Group’s president on the spot.”

Someone argued, “Old Mr. Burton, we’d better be more circumspect about removing the president of the company.”

“That’s right. Ever since Young Master Justin took over the Burton Group, the company’s performance has gone up quite a few notches.”

The other board members quickly chimed in.

The Burton Group’s performance has visibly dropped this year. This is not because of the market, but because of the person heading the company.” Arthur darted a look at Justin. “Since there’s a problem, we have to solve it in time. The Burton Group belongs not only to us Burtons but also to all the board members present here. I can’t let the Burton Group be ruined in
