My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 385

Chapter 385: The Largest Shareholder
After a few minutes, Natalie still showed concern in her eyes, worrying that her daughter would fly there alone to face her evil father and uncles. She didn’t want her daughter to be in trouble.

Isaac finally could smile again. He did like her plan to take over Donovan Group from his useless sons.

“Bella, I will fly with you,” Isaac said. “I will help you teach all of my useless sons. They are messing with your life, so they deserve heavy punishment.”

Bella, “…”

“Grandpa, I can handle them alone. You don’t have to tire yourself flying back to the East City. Just stay here and wait for the good news.”

Isaac Donovan chuckled as he shook his head and refused her.

“Oh, my dear, did you forget I’m also a shareholder in the company? Even though my share is small, I have a right to attend the shareholder meeting, right?”

Bella, “…”

“But, Grandpa, I can—” Bella had not yet completed her words; Isaac interrupted her.

“Nick, why haven’t I received any notification about the meeting?” Isaac Donovan glanced at Nick in the corner.

“S-Sir, there’s no information about the meeting from the company. Should I call Archy to ask about it?” Nick responded.

Isaac Donovan didn’t answer to Nick but turned his gaze at Bella. “My dear Bella, can you explain why this old man didn’t receive the notification?”

Bella saw Grandpa seriously asking for an explanation. She could only sigh deeply.

She couldn’t explain that she had asked Stefan not to send any info for her grandfather.

Next Day at the Donovan Group.

Jacob Donovan’s expression appeared dark, and his anger became more evident as he saw the man sitting before him. If this man were not his father’s best friend’s son, he would have fired him long ago.

Only his sister Emma has the audacity not to follow his commands, and he finds that very frustrating when this man also never agrees to his plan.

“Archy! Who asked you to arrange the annual shareholder meeting without my consent or even consulting me?” Jacob roared, no longer caring if a few shareholders were already in the room.

Since yesterday, he has been trying to contact Archy. Archy, avoiding unnecessary confrontation, deliberately turned off his cell phone and has been unable to reach him until now.

This frustrates him because he cannot avoid the official shareholder meeting. He might be replaced or kicked out of the company if he doesn’t show up.

“Archy, we know you work here because your father has a special connection to my father. But you can’t do something like this,” Lucas said, expressing his concern.

Lucas heard rumors about his position being at risk for replacement, which greatly worried him. He has barely slept since last night, thinking about this matter.

Everyone in the room, mostly Jacob’s supporters, is now glaring disapprovingly at Archy.

How dare he suddenly organize a Shareholder Meeting with an agenda to remove the current CEO? They still need Jacob Donovan’s help to keep this company from going bankrupt.

Archie placed his pen on the table and straightened his gray-dark suit. Calmly, he looked around the room at all the shareholders.

His gaze finally landed on Jacob Donovan, who sat at the head of the table. Archy smiled at him before answering him:

“Mr. Jacob Donovan, as the general affairs director of this company, it is my duty to conduct this meeting. If you don’t have time to attend, that’s fine. You are free to leave,” Archy said politely, but Jacob, who heard that, felt insulted.

Jacob gritted his teeth, his sharp eyes enough to make all the people in the room shiver, but not Archy. He calmly returned his gaze before looking at his cell phone, checking something.

The room suddenly became silent. No one spoke when they saw Jacob’s face turn red.

After a few more minutes, Thomas Donovan finally said, “Who asked you to arrange this meeting?”

Archy slowly raised his head to look at Thomas Donovan. “The new biggest shareholder in this company,” Archy said, shocking and silencing all of them.

“Who?”

“We have a new shareholder? We thought it was Bradley Caville?”

“No, didn’t Jacob have the largest share?”

“Emma? She is the one?”

“No. Emma doesn’t have much to share….”

“It’s possible if Old Donovan gives his share to Emma…”

The news somehow shocked everyone in the room and made them discuss it hushedly almost simultaneously. The number of hushed discussions makes Archy able to clearly hear them. He said nothing but silently continued communicating with someone over his cell phone.

Jacob was still in a trance, too shocked to realize that their company had a new shareholder. He was too focused on finding a way out so the company could survive in the last few months, and dealing with the media distracted him from this critical matter.

He glanced at his two siblings. Jacob could see they were also shocked and curious about their company’s largest shareholder.

Countless questions and plans now danced in Jacob’s mind.

He hoped that if he combined his shares with his sister Emma, brothers, father, and Bradley Caville, they would still be the majority shareholders, so the new biggest shareholder couldn’t kick them out of the company’s management. Take over this family company.

Jacob wouldn’t let this company fall into someone else’s hands without a Donovan behind their name. NEVER!

The door suddenly opened before Jacob could ask Archy who the largest shareholder was.

Everyone was surprised to see Emma with a tall man following closely behind her. They had never seen this man before, which raised their suspicions.

“Sister Emma, you finally arrived,” Thomas greeted her happily. Still, his eyes were fixed on the man sitting behind Emma in the secretary’s row.

“Emma, you hired a bodyguard?” Jacob chuckled, realizing his little sister must have been traumatized.

“Hahaha…” Lucas laughed upon hearing Jacob’s words. “Oh, sister…no need to worry. Everything will be fine if you agree with us in this meeting.”

Emma didn’t mind her brother’s insulting words. She didn’t glance at them at all. Instead, she fixed her gaze on Archy.
