Chapter 418 The Battle of the Shareholders' Meeting
In the meeting room, Niamh looked at the board members seated around the table.
She took out a forged share transfer document and said, "I don't need to explain my mother's situation. You all know she's seriously ill and won't recover anytime soon. As the sole heir of the Parks Family, I certainly won't neglect the company. From today, I will take over as the chairman of the board. Does anyone have any objections? Raise your hands to vote."
The people present looked at each other but did not object.
Niamh held 51% of the shares, making her the largest shareholder. These board members were mainly there for dividends and didn't manage the company. They usually only showed up if there were major decisions to be made.
The position of chairman didn't affect them, regardless of who held it.
Dovie had treated everyone well before, and these board members had made quite a bit of money following her lead. Since Niamh was Dovie's daughter, they gave her some face.
Seeing no objections, Niamh smiled, "Alright, from now on, I, Niamh, will serve as the chairman of Parks Corporation."
Before she could finish her sentence, the meeting room door was forcefully pushed open from the outside.
Ophelia walked in with many people, exuding a powerful aura. "I disagree, Niamh. You are not qualified to be the chairman of Parks Corporation."
The sudden turn of events surprised Niamh. Seeing Ophelia there, she immediately frowned. "Ophelia, what right do you have to disagree? You are no longer an employee of Parks Corporation. The Abbott Family has no say in our Parks Family matters."
Ophelia walked towards Niamh, her gaze intimidating. "You are not qualified to talk about rights in front of me."
Ophelia's sharp gaze was like an unsheathed blade, making Niamh instinctively take a half step back.
She saw the shadow of Finnegan's ruthlessness in Ophelia, the same ruthlessness that had once chopped off her hand.
Having been around Finnegan for a long time, Ophelia's style also carried his influence.
Ophelia gave Niamh a cold look and then signaled to the lawyer, Garrett.
Garrett stepped forward. "Board members, I am Dovie's lawyer, Garrett. Before Dovie was hospitalized, she left a will in a bank safe. The will states that Niamh is not Dovie's biological daughter. If Dovie's biological daughter ever returns, the position of Parks Corporation's heir will be held by the true heiress. This is the content of Dovie's will."
Garrett distributed copies of the will to everyone. These were photocopies.
He continued, "Dovie's will was notarized and is legally valid. Whether Dovie recovers or not, everything in Parks Corporation belongs to the true heiress, and Ophelia is Dovie's biological daughter. Here is the paternity test report for Dovie and Ophelia."
Garrett, being a lawyer, presented everything clearly.
Garrett's words dramatically changed Niamh's face. She had just learned that Ophelia was Dovie's biological daughter.
"It's Impossible," Niamh said emotionally. "Ophelia, you are despicable. Where did you get a fake paternity report? Just because you say you are the heiress of Parks Corporation doesn't make it true. I am the heiress. Dovie has already transferred the company shares to me and asked me to take over the company."
The board members looked at the will and the paternity report, unsure of their authenticity.
While the paternity report's authenticity was uncertain, they believed Dovie's will was genuine.
The room buzzed with discussions.
"Could it be that Niamh really isn't Dovie's daughter?"
"Dovie made it clear in her will that Niamh isn't."
"The true heiress of Parks Corporation has been lost for so many years. It seems the child they found back then was a fake."
"I don't think Niamh looks like Dovie's daughter. The outrageous things she did before don't resemble Dovie at all."
"Yes, they say like mother, like daughter. They really don't look alike."
Hearing these words and seeing people about to switch sides, Niamh panicked. "You people had no objections just now. Now, Ophelia shows a fake report, and you change your mind. I hold 51% of the company's shares, making me the largest shareholder. I am the chairman of Parks Corporation."
"Where is the share transfer document?" Ophelia asked, "Let me see it."
To prove herself, Niamh showed the transfer document. "See, this is Dovie's true intention. Ophelia, you bribed Dovie's lawyer and brought these fake documents to slander me. You have ulterior motives and want personal revenge."
"I just came from the hospital. I saw my mother. She woke up and told me personally that she never transferred any shares." Ophelia said calmly. She then addressed everyone, "I brought handwriting experts. They can verify the authenticity of the will and the signature on the share transfer document."
