Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1177

There was a cold sneer from the audience. "Hmph, with its intranet hacked and Ms. Severe ill, Grand Asia is now pressed hard from every side. Ms. Severe, are you just going to return us our shares? Shouldn't you hand over the companies you acquired three years ago as well?"

Although Angeline could not see, she could tell from the voice that it was Stanley.

Bell Enterprise was colluding with Titus Enterprise to lead several rebellious companies in an attempt to force Angeline to step down at this shareholders' meeting.

It was not easy for Angeline to acquire the companies from the same industry and eventually realize its status as a monopoly giant. Grand Asia might be in trouble now, but she intended to use money to remove these dissident shareholders. She had no intention to see Grand Asia disintegrate at all.

Angeline said angrily, "Grand Asia paid a lot of money when we acquired the companies three years ago. These companies belong to Grand Asia now. You're just a mere Grand Asia shareholder, Stanley Bell. Stop daydreaming about things that are no longer yours."

Stanley's hearty laughter was heard. "Haha, the companies that Grand Asia acquired were the hard work of all our ancestors present here, Ms. Severe. If Grand Asia can prosper with each passing day because you commanded it well, then we wouldn't make demands to have our enterprises returned to us either. Grand Asia has long lost its former glory. Its talents have atrophied."

Angeline was furious. "Talents atrophied? Stanley Bell, watch what you say. Belittling Grand Asia's employees is equal to looking down upon our talents and abilities."

Stanley said with a smile, "Did I say anything wrong? It has been so many days since Grand Asia's intranet was hacked, so why hasn't Grand Asia solved this problem yet? No one in Grand Asia can obtain the hacker IP. The talents you nurture are nothing but a bunch of useless junks."

Angeline clenched her fists with anger.

She attached great importance to talents and was eager for talents. She would not hesitate to spend a lot of money just to seek the best technical personnel from around the world. She thought highly of the talents in Grand Asia, yet Stanley insulted her hard work just like that. How could she not be angry?

Angeline was so furious that her hands started shaking uncontrollably.

Seeing how vulnerable Angeline was, Stanley cast his malicious gaze at Steven. When their gazes met, they arrived at an understanding and were even firmer at executing their plan to force Angeline to step down.

"If you think that I've said something wrong, Ms. Severe, then why don't you show us how capable Grand Asia's hackers are. If they can unlock Grand Asia's intranet today, then I, Stanley Bell, will take back everything I just said."

Angeline closed her eyes and regulated her breathing.

The more she tried to get her disordered body back to normal, the more she felt like she was losing control of her body.

"Open up our intranet, Grayson." In her perturbed mind, Angeline gave the wrong instructions.

Grayson was stunned. If someone at Grand Asia could actually unlock the intranet, then they would not have behaved so passively from the start.

However, now that Ms. Severe had issued the order, Grayson could only bite the bullet and play along.

Grayson was the second most powerful hacker in Grand Asia after Angeline. Unfortunately, Angeline was now ill. As she could only differentiate between brightness and darkness with no ability to distinguish the outline of objects at all, she was as good as blind. Naturally, Grayson dared not place any hope on Angeline.

Grayson went on his own, but after opening up Grand Asia's intranet, it was clear that he seemed a little powerless. He pretended to decode the intranet but made no substantial progress for a long time. At this time, Yumi stood up and said, "Mr. Grayson, our time is precious. You've spent half an hour making no progress at all. Can you do it or not? Stop wasting our time if you can't."

At this moment, many participants looked displeased. The esteemed and respected Steven suddenly stood up and said, "It stands to reason that we shouldn't be taking advantage of Grand Asia in times of misfortune. But when Ms. Severe acquired our companies back then, she did not take into account how important these companies are to all the major families out there. Now that Ms. Severe is ill and all kinds of problems are coming to surface in Grand Asia, then I, Steven Bell, have no choice but to step out and say something. Our companies are the hard work of our ancestors. I'm willing to return the acquisition funds to take my company back."
