Pursuing Her

Chapter 65 Turning The Tables

Yale cleared his throat before turning on his microphone to address the investors. “After Mr. Jennings’ introduction just now, I believe we all now have a better understanding of the profit and loss in the previous phase. I also believe we’re all well aware that there are ups and downs in the business world. That’s why I hope we can take some time to remember why we started this in the first place. Let us keep moving forward because I know that Tanner Group will rise again one day.”

“I don’t appreciate those words, Mr. Tanner. The only reason I invested in Tanner Group is to make more money, and now you’re telling me that I’m losing money instead? I can’t accept that.”

“That’s right! Do you think our money grows on trees? Is that why you spent it like it’s nothing?”

“If you can’t do your job right, then I think it’s time we replace you with someone else. That way, we can sleep easier at night,” suggested Victor White. The man owned twenty percent of Tanner Group’s shares, making him a majority shareholder that was second only to the Tanners.

Yale did not expect Victor to undermine him like that in front of all the other investors. “Mr. White, I’m the biggest shareholder of Tanner Group. Besides, it’s Tanner Group, not White Group.”

To that, Victor responded with a sneer. “I see. So you’re telling us that Tanner Group is a family business and that there’s nothing we can do about your incompetence, then? Is that it?”

“Why you little…” Yale got so upset that he was lost for words. He never knew Victor could be so infuriating.

Even though Victor had a devious smile on him, he had a point.

“I agree with Mr. White. If you don’t have what it takes, Mr. Tanner, you should let someone more capable take your place.”

“That’s right! Why tire yourself when you can just sit back and let your dividends take care of you? In case you didn’t notice, you’re not doing a very good job.”

Charmaine looked at Sophie and realized that the young woman was simply sitting there as though what was happening around her mattered not.

“We can keep doing this and waste everybody’s time, or we can raise our hands and vote! Mr. Tanner may have forty percent of the shares, but together, we have sixty,” suggested Victor impatiently.

“Those who do not agree that Yale Tanner should continue to hold his position as CEO of Tanner Group, please raise your hands.” Victor decided to ignore Lionel and proceed with the voting himself.

As soon as Victor finished his sentence, he was the first to raise his hand. The other shareholders thought for a while but eventually followed suit. This is the society we live in now, and family business just doesn’t work anymore. Mr. Tanner should let someone more capable take his place if he can’t produce desirable results.
