NovelOnlineChapter 699 Debra found herself momentarily lost in thought as Marion stepped to her side.
She whispered, "What gare you playing this time?" Marion didn't respond verbally, his lips curling into an enigmatic smile. He took her hand, a display of affection in everyone's eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShelia's eyes flashed with annoyance. Her voice cut through the air, laced with irritation. "Mr. Houston, I get that you and Ms. Frazier are getting engaged, but I think you're stepping over the line here.” Marion didn't even bother looking at her. He instructed Ben, "Show it to her." "Yes, sir," Ben replied, stepping forward to hand Shelia a document.
Her face drained of color as she read the content.
Ben went on to declare, "A year ago, Mr. Houston invested eight billion dollars into the McKinney Group. securing a 25% share. This grants him decisive authority over major decisions." Murmurs erupted across the room.
"Eight billion dollars? Is it true?" "The appointment letter is right here. How could it be fake?" "An investor of that level? That makes him one of the founding shareholders." Shelia's face paled further. "This doesn't make sense. The McKinney Group has been in operation for a year, and not once have I heard of Mr. Houston's involvement. I refuse to accept this document as valid." Debra chuckled at her ignorance.
Back then, Marion loaned her the money, taking her family's real estate and stock shares as collateral. The merging of the Fraizer Group with the McKinney Group allowed Marion to obtain a significant share. Debra had even given him additional shares as interest, never anticipating it would prove useful now. Ben continued, "Ms. Blair, the document is legally binding. If you have any objections, you're welcto challenge it in court. Though I doubt it will make much of a difference." With no further ground to stand on, Shelia shifted tactics. "Even if Mr. Houston owns 25% of the shares, I'm still the GM, appointed by Mr. Nichols. You have no authority to demand my resignation." She glanced around the room and added, "Besides, the altercation with Mr. Osborne earlier was a simple misunderstanding. I've already apologized, and I'm sure Mr. Osborne doesn't mind." Just then, Randy chimed in, "Oh, but I do mind." Shelia's face darkened, and Randy continued nonchalantly, "I don't tolerate incompetence. Since Ms. Blair was sent here by Mr. Nichols, perhaps Mr. Houston can give her a bit of grace and allow her to pack her things and leave on her own."

"That sounds fair." "Mr. Houston..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Someone, help Ms. Blair pack her things. I expect the office to be m cleared within 20 minutes. Not a single item should remain." "Yes, sir."
The secretaries, all elite members of the Houston family, swiftly headed ке upstairs. Shelia finally realized that she had been played by Marion and Randy.
They chere today with the sole goal of stripping away her authority.
The realization was bitter, and she let out a mocking laugh. "So, this is it, huh? You chere today just to protect Debra, rightXI thought she had sreal skills, but it turns out all she's good for is whispering sweet nothings into a man's ear. She can't takeon, so she uses your influence to forceout. How pathetic and despicable!"
