He knew that he could no longer stop Sydney from becoming the chairperson of the company.

Moreover, he must have angered Sydney because he had forced her go give Madeline half of the shares. If Sydney became the chairperson, she would use her right to kick him out of the board.

In order not to be kicked out, the only thing he could do was force Sydney to hand over the 5.5 percent of the shares. As long as Sydney had less than 50 percent of the shares, she couldn't completely control the company or kick him out of the board.

As soon as Sydney saw Stephen's flashing eyes, she knew what he had in mind.

She smiled. "Okay, I'll give it to her. As for whether she can deal with it, it depends on her ability."

After saying that, Sydney took out her phone and called Sean to come over.

"Draw up a share transfer agreement," Sydney instructed.

From the start, she had known that she couldn't retain the 5.5 percent of the shares. Even if Stephen had not asked her to give it to Madeline, Sydney would do that.

So when she heard Stephen's requirement, she was not surprised, flustered, or reluctant at all.

As she had just said, Madeline was an idiot. As long as there was a chance, Sydney could set a trap for Madeline to get the 5.5 percent of the shares back.

Hearing Sydney's order, Sean glanced at Madeline in surprise and then nodded. "I see, Ms. Raines. I'll do it right now."

After saying that, Sean went out to draw up the document.

Soon, the document was finished.

Sydney and Madeline signed the share transfer agreement in the presence of all the executives, the shareholders, and the lawyers from the company's legal department. From now on, Madeline owned 5.5 percent of the shares.

Although this was far from the 25.5 percent that she had wanted to get, she knew that it was impossible and that she was lucky enough to get the unexpected 5.5 percent of the shares. "Since I have shares now, I should also have a position in the company. Sydney, I want your position." Madeline put away the share transfer agreement and looked at Sydney provocatively. Sydney's eyes narrowed. "Of course, you can. I just hope you won't make a fool of yourself."

"Don't underestimate me. Since you can manage the company, I believe I can do it too! " Madeline raised her chin with a conceited look.

Sydney smiled faintly. "Well, then I'll wait and see. If you dare to cause trouble in the company or do anything that will damage the company's reputation, I will fire you."

After saying that, she ignored Madeline and looked at Stephen across the table. " President Dayton, since I'm the chairperson now, shouldn't you hand over the management rights?" Stephen gritted his teeth. After quite a while, he took a deep breath to calm down and said, "Of course, since you are now the chairperson, I should return the rights to you." Sydney smiled slightly. "That's good. Then you can take a good rest and don't have to work so hard to manage the company for me anymore. After all, you're aged." After saying that, she stood up calmly under Stephen's angry gaze and clapped her hands. "Okay, everyone. That's it for the shareholders' meeting. You can leave now." "Yes, Ms. Raines!" All the executives and shareholders stood up and responded respectfully.

Sydney closed her eyes for a moment with a joyful look.

Being the chairperson was indeed more intoxicating than being the vice president.

She liked it very much.

Sydney ignored Stephen and Madeline, picked up the notebook on the table, and walked towards the door of the conference room.

Now that she was the chairperson, she was the first to leave. The others had to follow behind.

In the past, it was always Stephen who left first. Finally, it was her turn.

It felt wonderful to be the first one to leave.

Sydney smiled as she walked out of the conference room. Behind her, Sean said, " Congratulations, Ms. Raines."

"Thank you." Sydney smiled and nodded." Tell all employees that I will double their bonuses this month to celebrate my promotion."

"Yes," Sean happily answered.

Sydney then thought of something and pursed her red lips. "Also, tell our people to make Madeline a mere puppet. I want her to be eye candy who has no rights and no access to any secrets of the company." Madeline was in cahoots with Stephen.

Moreover, Madeline killed Harry. Sydney wouldn't let Madeline have the opportunity to manage Skylight.

Sydney would only keep Madeline under her eyes and then try to find the evidence that Madeline had poisoned Harry.

In this way, Sydney would be able to send Madeline to prison to avenge Harry's death. "Don't worry, Ms. Raines. I will arrange it," Sean said as she pushed her glasses.

Sydney nodded without speaking, pushed open the door of her office, and went in.

As soon as she sat down, her phone rang.

Sydney picked it up and saw that it was Julien calling.

Her red lips curved, and the fatigue between her brows faded. She pressed the green button to answer the phone. "Hello?"

"I heard that Skylight had held a shareholders' meeting to elect a new chairperson. Is that true?" Julien, who was sitting at the desk, asked on the other end of the phone.

Sydney wrinkled her pretty eyebrows." How do you know? Who did you hear that from? Did you plant an inside man in my

company?"

Julien raised his eyebrows, not expecting her to realize it so quickly. He knew he was in the wrong, so he coughed gently with his fist against his lips. "Not an inside man but someone I sent over to your side to help you manage the finance department."

"Finance department?" Sydney's eyes rolled. She thought of a person. "You're talking about Dereon?"

"Yes." Julien nodded his head.

"Dereon works for you?" Sydney's eyes widened in surprise.

Julien shook his head. "He used to, but now he works for you."

Sydney snorted. "If he is working for me, why did he contact you? He's still your employee, right?"

Julien fell silent.

Sydney pursed her lips. "It seems that I'm right."

"Well, let me tell you the truth." Julien chuckled. "After Sharon left, you were looking for a finance manager and even planned to poach a finance manager from another company. I was worried that the person you found might be bribed by the Madden family or Stephen, so I sent one of my company's finance managers to help you. In this way, you wouldn't have to worry that the manager would be bribed by the Madden family or Stephen."

"Yes, he won't be bribed by the Madden family and Stephen, but he is secretly working for you. He even told you news about my company," Sydney said in annoyance and rolled her eyes.

Julien planted a manager in her company, and the manager secretly told Julien about Sydney's things. If it had happened in the past, she would have been furious.

But now there was no need to be angry because he would soon be her boyfriend.

Besides, the finance manager sent by Julien was capable. Dereon managed the finance department very well soon after he came.

So she didn't want to chase Dereon away even though she was upset.

Hearing that Sydney was calm, Julien let out a soft sigh of relief.

It seemed that she did not blame him for secretly planting a person in her company.
