My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 1034

Chapter 1034

Henry returned to his office with the thinking that Mr.Johnston Sr.could no longer speak for Jared.

"Castor, spread the news about your grandpa's accident right away.The sooner, the better."

Henry wanted to teach Jared a lesson for being arrogant all this time.He then called all the directors of the company.

The next day, Jared was on his way to the company when Max sent him the news of Mr.Johnston Sr"s accident.

[Johnston Group's chairman died in an accident.] Jared stared at the headline on his phone.

Just then, acall came in, and it was Henry.

"How long before you arrive at the company? The board members have something to discuss with you."

Henry sounded excited on the phone.

Jared seemed to have guessed what was going on.

"Max, drive faster."

"Yes, Mr.Johnston."

Max sped up the car at once and soon arrived and stopped in front of the Johnston Group building.

Jared strode ahead toward the conference room.He came to the front of the conference table and sat down, his eyes scanning everyone at the table, where no one dared to meet his gaze.

Henry saw everyone lowering their heads, and he took the lead by saying, "Jared, all the board members are here today because they are concerned about Mr.Johnston Sr"s condition.You were the last to leave yesterday.So why don't you tell everyone?"

Jared swept a glance at Henry, who was speaking, and then looked at everyone else.

"On behalf of the chairman, I would like to thank you for your concern.You should have seen the news today.I assume you are all here today not only because of the news but also because you were compelled to come."

"Jared, we are sorry to hear about the unfortunate incident, and we are relieved to hear that the chairman is fine.But someone must carry out the chairman's duty in his absenceSo perhaps we should first appoint an acting chairman to carry out the chairman's duty and ensure the company can run smoothly until the chairman fully recovers and can preside over the board of directors again."

A director, a senior-aged man, proposed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room was abuzz with discussion, and voices of agreement abounded.

Jared looked at the people in the conference room and knew that Henry was determined to win this time.

"What is everyone's opinion?" Jared asked.

"I agree with Mr.Holden's suggestion.After all, the board of directors can't function without someone presiding over it."

Mr.Pearce looked at Jared and said calmly.

"Yes.I also agree with Mr.Holden.The board can't function well without someone presiding over it."
