Chapter 58: Back Home

Some people gasped in the boardroom, and some mouths hung open, Mikael frowned, he flew into a rage and stood on his feet.

“Are you trying to ridicule us, Diana? Don't you have any iota of piety in you? How dare you look down on your family?” he yelled, veins popping on his forehead.

Diana arched her eyebrows at him “do you want to be kicked out?” she reposted, he slumped on the chair in frustration, his facial expression kept on twitching, his lips trembled, and he was visibly frustrated, anxious and upset.

Olivier shot Diana a glare, “I am aware you are doing this to target us, but, can't you pretend a little?” she bit her lower lip.

Diana folded her arms, “Olivier, if you would rather not be the president, can you stop talking and not get in the way of the company day to day running?”

She warned her, Olivier shut her mouth, and Diana beamed “alright, now, we vote” she declared and swept her gaze at the people in the room.

“Is there anyone?”

Some directors and shareholders knew that the president is always a family member, Olivier's father has been there for years, after the demise of Diana's parents.

He always won the vote, “I want to be the president” Mikael said and stood on his feet.

Olivier glared at him, knowing how incompetent he is, she stood on her feet “brother, I can't let you do this, what of mom and dad?” she tried to talk him out of the idea.

Diana growled, “shut up, Olivier! Or you will be kicked out”.

The two siblings looked at each other without uttering a word

“My brother is incompetent and can't manage the affairs of the company, I want you all to vote for me to be the president, I promise the company will flourish under my care and guidance” she declared her intention.

Mikael was furious, she ridiculed him, and he felt insulted, his palms itched, and he felt like smacking her pretty face.

Diana watched in satisfaction as the two siblings, who have 'caused her nothing but pain in the past face each other, she reclines on the chair leisurely “what are we waiting for? Let the voting commence” she declared.

People started voting, the two siblings stood locking hostile gazes at each other, the both of them were ignored, and the votes were cast.

A slightly short man, with gray hair, counted the votes and sighed heavily, “the winner is Olivier” he declared.

Mikael slammed his fist on the table, he felt frustrated, worthless, and angry, “fuck you all!” he roared and ran out of the boardroom in shame.

Olivier, who is overambitious, didn't bother coaxing him, she is inwardly over the moon over the new position she heard “congratulations Olivier” Diana said, and chuckled.

At Westley's mansion, Mr. Henson and his wife sat on a sofa, looking disoriented, and upset.

Mr. Henson looked like he had aged a little, his mind is messy, and the thought of the humiliation he faced in the company headquarters drove him mad, he webbed his hair and sighed in frustration.

He paced the room, his wife sat down, looking flustered, and in no better condition, the door flung open and Mikael stormed in, looking angrier.

The both of them turned to him, “Son, why are you looking like you want to kill someone? What did that bitch do to you? Where is your sister?”

“Quick, tell us what the delinquent Diana said in that meeting?” Mrs. Henson demanded impatiently.

Faced with barrages of questions, Mikael couldn't lower his ego to answer their questions, the thought of losing what he thought is his, drove him insane, he ignored his parents and stormed inside the room.

“Mikael! Mikael!!” his mother called out for him, but he didn't answer, Olivier who is looking more decent entered the house.

She looked stressed, and a bit happy “Mom, Dad” she said with a charming smile, just then, Philip arrived at the mansion.

“I am now the president of the company” she announced the good news, but her parents glared at her in disdain

“You are such a fool Olivier, don't you know you have just relegated your mother and me as just mere shareholders, how I will be going to hijack the company from Diana now?” her father hollered.

Olivier stepped back a little, she has never seen her father in such a state of mind before, her mother is calmer

“Honey, your father is right, if you are the president, we will remain in the shadow, and we can't be able to convince the other shareholders, to take away the seat of power from Diana”

Olivier isn't foolish, she knew her parents were not supporting her, they would have been happy to gladly surrender the position to their beloved son, but were reluctant to hand it over to her, because of her marriage soon.

The door opened and Philip entered, he witnessed the tense atmosphere and gave the family an askance look, this moment, Mikael came out of his room, slamming the door.

He folded his long sleeves and briskly made his way to the down floor

“Dearest sister, you took what is rightfully mine, mom, Dad, talk to Olivier, I can't let her have the position that is meant for me, as the son of the family” he reiterated.

Philip's frown deepened, “Mikael, what did Olivier take from you?” he inquired curiously, he was piqued with interest in what is making the entire family look unsettled and in a panic mood.

The front door was pulled open, and everyone looked in the direction, a big frown appeared on their faces, and the urge to pounce on the sudden visitor popped up in their minds.

But the burly men following her, deterred them from carrying any of their wishes, “you unfilial child, what the hell are you doing here?” Mr. Henson roared madly, he couldn't restrain his anger, he was trembling all over.

“I am back home” Diana announced nonchalantly, sending a wave of shocks to everyone.
