Chapter 57: A True Daughter

Diana maintained a calm demeanor and listened attentively to her late grandfather's lawyer.

Mr. Henson started sweating after hearing that his grandfather willed all his shares to Diana, he couldn't tolerate it, he slammed the table.

“Nonsense!” he roared angrily, his eyes bloodshot, he glared at Mr. White, he was furious that a vein popped up on his forehead

“You are spouting nonsense, I won't accept anything you say…” he jerked and shot Diana a glare.

“Did you pay him for this?” he asked, he forced a smile that made him look ugly.

Diana clasped her fingers and gave him an askance look “Mr. Henson, I won't tolerate you defaming me, if you continue, I will have no option to charge you to court” she sneered.

But Mr. Henson snapped, “go ahead, Diana, what have you…”

The words stuck in his mouth when he saw Diana drop a file on the table, without waiting for an invitation.

He grabbed it and started flipping through it, his facial expression became uglier.

Mrs. Henson and her children crowded around Mr. Henson, whose face is drained of color, “absolute nonsense!” he hollered.

And slammed the file on the table, he ripped the file apart maniacally, looking like an enraged baboon.

He laughed maniacally “now, I have torn it, what will you show that father transferred his shares to you?” he mocked, glaring at Diana who looked extremely calm and remained sitting on the executive chair.

She cleared her throat “Mr. White, thank you so much, you may now leave us” she told the Old lawyer with gray hair.

The man exhaled and left, the boardroom is too tense, and the looming danger is very intoxicating.

The temperature in the room descends lower, Mr. Henson and his wife, even with the AC the both of them are sweating profusely.

Diana reclined on the chair, “as the C.E.O, I want to make a few changes concerning the president position of the company” she informed everyone.

Mr. Henson retorted, "who made you the C.E.O?”

Diana gave him an askance look, “throw him out, his excesses are becoming unbearable” she directed her request to one of the burly men who accompanied her earlier.

Two of them stepped forward and grabbed Mr. Henson who struggled in vain to get free from their hold, “let me go” he decried.

“Diana, I am the second-highest shareholder of this company, how dare you treat me like a piece of thrash” he roared angrily, kicking his legs.

His son Mikael stood on his feet and wanted to help his father, but remembering how strong the bodyguards were earlier, he sat back in defeat.

Mr. Henson was thrown out of the boardroom and the room quietened down, Diana swept her gaze on the faces present, “is there anyone who doesn't want us to continue the meeting? The door is open”.

Everyone sat muted, Mrs. Henson slammed her fist on the table, “Diana, who the hell are you to control every one of us here? We have watched the company, worked so hard for the company to grow…”

Diana interjected rudely “Mrs. Henson, my father was the one who made the company what it is today, you and your good-for-nothing husband just make up numbers” she rebutted.

Mrs. Henson's lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a word, “you-” she pointed a finger at Diana.

“Can you take Mrs. Henson out? She looks so stressed and not in a state of mind to continue this meeting, please, help her out, and make sure she is properly taken care of, this is a sad day for Mr. and Mrs. Henson”.

She commented with a poker face and sighed heavily, Mrs. Henson rattled her head in panic “I am fine, I promise not to interrupt the meeting any longer” she smiled apologetically and retained her chair.

But the ruthless guards got hold of her and, forced her out of the room, she was screaming and making a fuss, but it didn't deter the agile guards.

“Noisy” Diana crunched her nose in disdain, she smiled innocently at the people in the boardroom, “is there anyone dissatisfied with the way I handled the chaotic situation?” she inquired with a smile.

The board of directors and shareholders that witness how she ruthlessly kicked her uncle and his wife out, knew the lady sitting before them isn't someone that should trifle with.

“You are too polite Miss Westley, you did the right thing”

“Of course, as expected of the heir of the Westley, they are always good at handling crisis”

“I never doubted your will to make things right”

They sang her praises one after the other, the corners of Diana's lips twitched, Olivier was burning in rage,

her face is as red as tomatoes, and the urge to scratch her pretty face and leave a few marks on her face is what occupied her mind.

“And you, Olivier, what do you have to say?” Diana gave her an askance look, Olivier regained her senses and stammered “m…e, I… what do you say?” her eyelids fluttered wildly.

Diana gave her a sly smile “what do you have to say about my action?” she inquired, Olivier balled her fists, she knew that Diana won't mind kicking her out, and the board of directors and shareholders, are all as slickers who doesn't want to get in the way of power.

Her chest heaved, and she forced an ugly smile, “you did the right thing” she said and lowered her head in shame.

Diana chuckled and turned to Mikael, “how about your brother? Is there a contrary view?” she asked while tapping the table with her fingers.

Mikael glared at her with hostility, he wanted to scold her but winced when he felt a painful sensation from his lap, his chest tightened “you are wasting our time” Diana reminded him.

He beamed with a smile that twisted his face “not bad, you are a true daughter of Westley” he commented, and his face became sullen.

“Now, we can continue, those who want to be a president should raise their hands so that the voting can commence” she announced sternly.
