Everyone looked shocked upon hearing the remark.
Some still didn't believe it and immediately countered, "Impossible. That guy must have made a mistake."
If Audrey's husband was really that rich, why did he give fake flowers to her a few days ago?
The event even stirred a lot of discussion, but Audrey didn't clarify it.
Someone was so curious that they bravely stopped Emily to confirm.
A staff member asked, "Emily, didn't someone say the new shareholder has arrived? Why haven't we seen him?"
As soon as the question was asked, many people around turned to look at Emily, clearly curious.
Emily glanced around and said calmly, "Didn't you all see him earlier? He's already joined Ms. Rhodes in the meeting room."
The employees were shocked. It turned out that Audrey's husband was indeed the new shareholder.
Someone couldn't contain his excitement and exclaimed, "Is this some kind of blockbuster drama of the year?
"I thought Ms. Rhodes would be ousted by Mr. Rhodes, but she ended up becoming the largest shareholder, and her husband became the second biggest. Now they completely control Rhodes Enterprises."
Emily smiled and said, "Such remarks are just between you guys. Don't let them get to outsiders. It may damage the company's reputation."
Hearing this, those who had previously called Audrey's husband a freeloader felt embarrassed immediately.
They whispered among themselves, "Understood. We will be cautious with our words."
Seeing their scared faces, Emily couldn't help but want to laugh.
Actually, Emily's reaction when she first learned about Audrey's husband's identity was much calmer than her colleagues'.
The news that Audrey's husband became the company's second-largest shareholder quickly became the talk of the office.
Audrey knew that many people were probably questioning the legitimacy of how Alistair got the shares.
However, she didn't bother to explain. Instead, she had Emily notify all the executives for a meeting.
Emily hesitated a bit and asked, "The sales director isn't in the office right now. Should I call him back?"
Audrey replied, "Yes, call him back. We'll wait for him for thirty minutes."
"Got it," Emily said.
The management unanimously agreed that the shares Alistair owned were given to him by Audrey, not bought by him.
Therefore, none of the executives thought highly of Alistair.
Half an hour later, the HR Director, Sales Director, Technical Director, Financial Director, and Marketing Director all headed to the meeting room.
Before going in, the Financial Director, Damian Hillary, stopped Emily to ask, "Emily, what is Ms. Rhodes trying to do by giving an outsider 40% of the company's shares? Is she planning to hand over the company?"
Emily smiled and said calmly, "Don't worry, Mr. Hillary. Ms. Rhodes will explain everything in the meeting."
Realizing Emily wouldn't reveal any useful information, Damian sighed in resignation and turned to discuss with the nearby directors.
As senior executives of the company, the directors were the primary beneficiaries of this pay raise. Even though the company's situation was unstable, they had no intention of resigning.
However, none of them wanted to be manipulated by Audrey.
While they hesitated, Audrey was feeling a bit uneasy too.
She wasn't concerned about the executives having hidden motives; she was worried about Alistair.
Resting her chin on one hand, Audrey looked at Alistair nervously and asked, "Are you sure you want to reveal your identity to these executives?"
