Chapter 601: Chapter 600: Certain Victory

Jared Grant fainted, while Joy Clayton slumped to the ground because of what South Grant said.

Rhiannon Grant and Henry Grant, at this moment, didn’t know how to react either; it was the housekeeper who shouted to call 120, prompting everyone to come to their senses.

This banquet ended amidst this scandal of The Grant Family.

Today’s anniversary celebration was attended by many people, all of them prominent figures in the business circle.

Now the issue with The Grant Family is known throughout the circle and has quickly spread.

Jared Grant, after becoming a live-in son-in-law, abandoned his wife, schemed to seize The Ellison Family’s estate, and ultimately forced his wife to leave, while having three children with his mistress.

No one expected that the three children of the mistress were all the driver’s.

This was a humiliating tale that Jared Grant had proudly carried for a lifetime.

This rumor, as it spread, began to be distorted.

Some speculated that when Ian Grant returned, he infringed on certain people’s interests, and they conspired to harm him.

And now they were blocking Ian Grant’s child from taking over the family business, clearly premeditated.

By the time Rhiannon Grant and Henry Grant heard this gossip, it was already widely known outside.

The day after Jared Grant was sent to the hospital, Grant Group held a stockholders’ meeting.

The three siblings of The Grant Family were not Jared Grant’s children; now they should not stay at Grant Group.

Led by Zack White, a group of veteran shareholders from Grant Group, was now unanimously demanding they leave.

However, the shares of Grant Group had long been absorbed by them; how could they leave?

South Grant also attended this stockholders’ meeting.

The shares held by South Grant, along with those later acquired, made her the major stockholder of Grant Group now.

The atmosphere of this stockholders’ meeting was already predictably tense.

As South Grant entered, Henry Grant and Rhiannon Grant were already present. To South Grant’s surprise, Fiona Grant was also there.

Jackson Zane followed behind South Grant, and when he saw South Grant looking at Fiona Grant, he whispered in her ear:

"Fiona Grant also has shares in her hands; she developed the Protective Cream, reviving Grant Group’s skincare company, and at that time, she demanded shares of Grant Group as a condition."

South Grant nodded.

Fiona Grant is a smart person, always with the brains and means.

Even in such a disadvantageous position, she managed to carve out a path for herself, which is truly not an easy feat.

She knew at the time South Grant was fighting The Grant Family for Stellaris, and Fiona Grant couldn’t interfere, so she turned her focus to another direction and indeed succeeded.

Once South Grant was seated, the meeting began.

The shareholders wasted no words and directly stated that the current scandal of The Grant Family has affected the stock, causing another drop in Grant Group’s stock.

Now a new chairman for Grant Group must be decided.

The new chairman would be determined by the proportion of shares held.

Before coming, South Grant did her homework; those shareholders usually close to Rhiannon Grant, if all voted for Henry Grant, along with the shares held by Rhiannon Grant and Henry Grant, would total thirty-one percent, whereas South Grant’s side, including hers, Zack White, and some veteran shareholders, totaled thirty-five percent, steadily surpassing them.

It could be said to be a sure victory.

The voting results came out quickly; only one person abstained from voting.

That was Fiona Grant.

Fiona Grant not voting was within South Grant’s expectations.
