Chapter 1793Her New Identity is Reborn
The next day.
8:55 AM.
The Nelson Group conference room.
More than ten shareholders were seated in sequence.
Lucas and his son, Yancy, sat at the front because they held the most shares, accounting for 40% of the company. Next were Mr. Britton, Ramon, and Oscar, and the remaining shareholders each held only a fraction of a percent. Today, however, the dynamics had changed.
"Have you heard? There's been a change in the company's shareholders."
"Someone tried to buy my shares before, but I didn't sell. Stefan Hensley and the others couldn't hold out, though. The offer was too high."
"Same here. The company's stock price fluctuated before, losing over a hundred billion dollars. I was scared, too."
"The new shareholder holds 10% of the shares. They might even get on the board."
"Absolutely. Her shares are on par with Mr. Britton's. If Mr. Lucas Nelson can't control her, the company might be in chaos."
"The company is already chaotic enough."
A group of minor shareholders discussed below.
Yancy checked the time and frowned, "It's only two minutes to nine. Is this Reborn planning to arrive right on time?"
"Maybe. Important people always arrive last, don't they?" Lucas, sitting at the head of the table, said with an inscrutable expression.
Yancy sneered, "It's just 10% of the shares. Can she really stir up trouble in the Nelson Group?"
Efren, Ramon, and the others, who also held only 10%, remained silent.
At exactly nine o'clock, the sound of high heels echoed outside the conference room.
"Everyone, I’m not late, am I?"
As the pleasant voice rang out, a woman in her early twenties walked in. She had thick, voluminous short hair and a delicate face that seemed unadorned, save for a pair of women's sunglasses on her nose and a touch of pink lipstick on her lips.
Her simple attire made her look like a star walking down a glamorous red carpet, her aura dazzling.
Behind her followed a blonde woman and two tall, burly bodyguards.
As the young woman entered the conference room, she turned to the bodyguards and said, "Wait outside."
"Yes." Reid obediently stood on either side of the conference room door.
Nina walked in with Sofia, found a leather chair, and sat down, then took off her sunglasses.
Sofia stood behind her, holding documents, her figure sensuous and alluring.
Everyone stared at them.
Including Lucas, who glared at Nina as if trying to bore a hole through her.
At that moment, the conference room erupted into a commotion.
They didn't recognize Sofia, but no one could mistake Bernice.
It was Bernice who had previously accused Lucas of coercing her online.
Since Lucas's imprisonment, the internet had been flooded with news about Bernice.
How could it be her?
Wasn't she a celebrity? She was supposedly coerced by Lucas because of her lowly status.
Now she was a shareholder of the Nelson Group? What a joke.
Where did she get the money to buy shares?
Yancy, unable to bear it, was the first to speak, "Bernice, this is the Nelson Group's shareholders' meeting. Are you in the wrong place?"
Nina gave Sofia a look.
Sofia threw the documents on the table, "This is Reborn. Reborn is her identity in Austin. These are the documents for the share transfer. See for yourselves if you don't believe it."
Lucas's secretary walked over, picked up the documents, and nodded to Lucas.
"Bernice, you're quite something." Lucas's gaze was fixed on Bernice's calm figure. From initial shock to complex emotions, she had given him too many surprises.
He had always thought he knew Bernice well.
Until she sent him to prison, he realized he had misjudged her. Just when he thought he had her figured out.
She revealed a new identity: Reborn.
The major shareholder behind Stellar Entertainment Group, the one providing it with endless funds, is Reborn.
The one who shorted the Nelson Group, Reborn.
The one who acquired 10% of the company's shares, Reborn.
Thinking back to the night before last, when he ran into her, he had arrogantly offered to sleep with her again for ten billion dollars.
She said she had invested in a good project that could earn hundreds of billions in a year.
He had laughed at her ignorance, thinking she was deceiving him.
Who knew she would retaliate so quickly?
She must have been laughing at him then.
Lucas thought he would be furious, but seeing Bernice sitting there calmly, he found he wasn't angry at all.
He was excited.
The kind of excitement that comes from meeting a worthy opponent, making his chest tremble with anticipation.
He wanted to conquer Bernice, not just her body, but her heart as well.
Lucas had never thought of himself as a pervert, just cold. But Bernice seemed to ignite all the perverse tendencies within him.
He had never wanted a woman as much as he did now.
Nina looked up at Lucas, whose eyes seemed to flash with a strange blood-red hue, like a wolf spotting its prey.
She was startled and said calmly, "Mr. Nelson, I request to join the board. Is that possible?"
Yancy was nearly apoplectic.
He couldn't believe the woman who had thrown Lucas into prison and caused chaos in the Nelson Group was Bernice. "You want to join the board? You need to be elected by the shareholders. Do you think you're qualified?"
"I think I am."
Nina stood up and suddenly said, "Everyone, do you think the current situation of the Nelson Group is good?"
Yancy slammed the table in anger, "Bernice, anyone has the right to ask that question, except you."
"Why not me?"
Nina looked sharply at Yancy, "Lucas was punished for his crimes because he broke the law, as he should. Instead of blaming others, you should reflect on yourselves. Privately, you and your son, as the CEO and Chairman of the Nelson Group, failed to set an example. Publicly, your disgraceful actions have tarnished the company's reputation. Furthermore, your mismanagement has led to scandals of bribery and misuse of power within local hospitals, including selling equipment and overcharging."
