Chapter 817 Rock Took Over the Blanchet Group
As soon as she entered the Blanchet Group, Lysander brought bad news, "Ms. Anderson, Rock is here, and he brought Ishara with him. They arrived at the company an hour before you and are currently in the shareholders' meeting room, gathering all the shareholders of the Blanchet Group for a major meeting!"
"On what grounds?" Winnie clenched her fists, her pale face showing a drastic change in expression.
Lysander was sweating profusely, bewildered. "I think I saw him holding Mr. Blanchet's authorization contract."
"What?" Winnie's mind went blank; her suspicions from yesterday had come true!
She pushed through the crowd and ran towards the meeting room upstairs.
But the surrounding Blanchet Group employees were all looking at her strangely, especially with Lawrence standing behind her.
Although the employees didn't dare to openly discuss them, they were all watching.
"Who would have thought the news was true?"
"Ms. Anderson is really entangled with Lawrence, and now they even came to the Blanchet Group together."
"Isn't Ms. Anderson's husband Rock in the shareholders' meeting room? He looked very sad and angry when he arrived."
"Today's situation is really awkward."
The murmurs were incessant, and Lysander couldn't suppress them.
Winnie's heart skipped a beat. News? What news?
She had a bad feeling and quickly turned to look at Lawrence.
Lawrence's brows furrowed darkly as he immediately opened his phone. As he expected: Rock had released footage of him holding Winnie as they returned to his villa the night before. The video showed them in intimate angles, with Winnie repeatedly kissing his face uncontrollably!
Winnie saw it too, her face turning pale, "We were caught on camera?"
"Yes, and it was Rock's premeditated plan! As for why he released it now, it probably has to do with his visit to the Blanchet Group today. Rock is a despicable man." Lawrence looked down at her coldly, "No matter what, you go up and handle the situation first. I'll find a way to pay to have the news retracted."
The calm on Winnie's face was gone; Rock had been setting up a trap step by step.
She wished she could tear Rock apart right now.
In the shareholders' meeting room, most of the shareholders had received the company's urgent summons and had arrived at the company.
They saw Rock standing at the main podium in the meeting room and were somewhat puzzled.
"Rock, why are you standing there?" an old shareholder asked.
Rock raised his elegant face, marked with some sadness and self-mockery, "Rodolfo, maybe I won't be able to come here soon. I don't know if you all have seen today's news?"
"You are all shareholders of the Blanchet Group, and considered elders to Winnie. She probably doesn't want me anymore, blatantly going home with Lawrence. Carlos felt sorry for me, so he wanted to compensate me. Carlos promised me a real estate project of the Blanchet Group, so starting today, I have to join the Blanchet Group to manage the real estate affairs. That's why I'm standing here."
After announcing, he slightly curled his thin lips and revealed the contract!
The contract read: [The Blanchet Group and the Harrington Group will deeply cooperate, transferring the land of The Serene Haven Hotel to the Harrington Group for a fee. At the same time, the president of the Harrington Group can join the Blanchet Group to manage the real estate department's related work and assist the Blanchet Group in completing The Serene Haven Hotel project.]
The shareholders were shocked, but when they turned to the last page, Carlos's signature was there!
"How is this possible?"
"But it really is Mr. Blanchet's signature!"
"What happened?" Rodolfo angrily asked.
"Rodolfo, haven't you seen the news? It's all over the headlines. Ms. Anderson was hugging and kissing Lawrence as they went back to Lawrence's villa the night before last. The video was released last night, and it's causing a huge stir now."
"Ms. Anderson is really something. She doesn't maintain her marriage and insists on having an affair with Lawrence."
"I just took a look, and the Blanchet Group's stock is plummeting!"
"In my opinion, Mr. Blanchet probably noticed Winnie's restlessness and shameless infidelity while he was still conscious. So, to compensate Rock, he let him join the Blanchet Group. But this decision was so sudden and kept from us. Now, in other words, Rock has become the head of the Blanchet Group's real estate sector?"
A shareholder stood up and angrily scolded Winnie.
Rodolfo's face turned black with anger, "Winnie had an affair during her marriage, and their family matters are affecting the company's stock and causing internal personnel changes? Where is Winnie? Bring her here!"
Rock's face was full of somber emotions, "Rodolfo, I actually didn't want to join the Blanchet Group, but I've always been loyal to Winnie. No matter how she betrays me, I still want to fulfill Carlos's wishes."
"The Blanchet Group and the Harrington Group have now established a real estate project cooperation, and Carlos also asked me to be the project leader. I can only face this difficult situation head-on. Otherwise, with Winnie's scandal causing such a mess, if I don't accept Carlos's favor, the situation at the Blanchet Group will become even more unmanageable."
As he spoke, he clenched his fists helplessly, looking very troubled.
At this moment, Winnie burst in, seeing his pretentious act, feeling quite angry. She rushed over and snatched the agreement, trembling as she saw the last page. Sure enough, it had Carlos's signature, and Winnie's eyes turned red.
Ishara stood next to Rock, and when no one was looking, she gave Winnie a smug smile, "That's right, I visited Carlos and tricked him into signing it. He can't remember anything, but this contract is valid."
"Ishara." Winnie glared at her and slapped her hard, "You don't deserve to be human! Dad raised you for twenty years, and you tricked him into selling the Blanchet Group. You have no conscience!"
"Even if it's sold, it's sold to me." Ishara caressed her pregnant belly and laughed sinisterly.
Winnie had no time to deal with her now. Her hateful gaze was fixed on Rock, her heart cold, "Rock, how dare you do this to my dad. I swear I'll send you to jail today."
Rock held a gentle smile, chilling to the bone, but he quickly put on a bitter expression, covering his face with his hands, and glanced at Lawrence at the meeting room door, "Winnie, why are you so stubborn, crushing my dignity like this? Today, at the shareholders' meeting, you brazenly brought Lawrence. Where does that leave me?"
"Because of your stubbornness, Carlos has secretly been disappointed in you. I've explained it before; it's not that I want anything from the Blanchet Group. Carlos forced me to manage the real estate project. He might know that your mind is on Lawrence and no longer on your work." He accused, twisting the truth.
The shareholders also saw Lawrence at the door.
With the explosive video news, they all looked at Winnie with disdain and anger, "Winnie, look at what you've done! Now Carlos is disappointed in you and has let Rock manage the real estate project!"
"Your scandal has caused the Blanchet Group's stock to plummet. You must give us shareholders an explanation!"
"I don't think you're fit to be a junior director. With such a big real estate project, I don't think you should be involved either!"
