Chapter 681 Solomon Shareholders Meeting.
"Mom, Thalassa is still in the mourning period for his mother. We'll have the wedding as previously planned after the mourning period is over," Kenny said.
Observing the mourning period was one reason.
He also didn't want to hold the wedding during the pregnancy hastily.
"What nonsense are you saying? I'm asking for your wife's opinion!" Armie still had some traditional values, especially when it came to the marriage of Old Money. It was easy to be affected by rumors and gossip.
A few days ago, Scarlett saw on a public gossip account that Thalassa and Kenny had a contractual marriage, so they didn't have a wedding.
Now that Thalassa was pregnant, who knew how these people would comment about it?
"Mom, Kenny, and I have the same thoughts. Don't worry, I don't care about what people say!" Thalassa said with a smile.
Thalassa knew best how well she was doing.
Those people did not determine Thalassa's life.
Scalet always respected her children's thoughts and immediately nodded. "Okay, you two can decide for yourselves!"
"Godmother!"
Chicago ran out of the study.
Fiona followed behind Chicago.
Fiona had just told Chicago about Thalassa's pregnancy.
"Whose big sister is this?" Thalassa asked with a smile.
"The little baby's!" Chicago was extremely excited but knew her boundaries, so she didn't touch Thalassa and just circled around her.
Chicago's joy made Thalassa laugh.
Fiona saw this, and some of the darkness in her heart dissipated.
Janna walked up to Fiona.
They exchanged glances.
Fiona embraced Janna's shoulder.
Everything was understood without words.
Scarlett stayed in Emerald Pool for four or five days.
Because Scalet had to fly to the United Arab Emirates with Matt to negotiate a business deal, she reluctantly left.
Before Scalet left, Scarlett found Fiona.
Fiona was somewhat surprised.
Scarlett loved Charles and Chicago very much.
But she didn't have much contact with Fiona.
"Fiona, this is for you." Scalet took out a document bag.
Fiona was confused, "What is this?"
"Previously, when Darwin acquired Solomons, they transferred our shares in Solomons to Solomon. Now, I'm transferring this three percent share to you."
"Auntie!" Fiona was astonished.
"Anyway, yours is also Thalassa's." Scalet patted Fiona's hand. "I appreciate the protection and love you gave Thalassa before Kenny appeared. Consider this our repayment to you. I've heard some shareholders will attack you at tomorrow's Solomon shareholders' meeting. Unlike the Rhoads family, the person with the largest share calls the shots here."
Tears welled up in Fiona's eyes. "Thank you. After this is resolved, I will return the shares to you."
"If you want to change, just change it to Thalassa. It's all for you kids anyway!" Scalet didn't dwell on the matter too much, and before leaving, she hugged Fiona again, "You're a good kid. No matter what happens, it will all be okay."
Fiona softly responded. "I understand."
"I'm leaving."
Scalet let go of Fiona and briskly walked away.
Having a wonderful mother-in-law like Scalet, Fiona knew that Thalassa's lack of motherly love would eventually be compensated for.
That night, Thalassa couldn't sleep, tossing and turning.
"Kenny, are we not going to Solomon tomorrow?"
Thalassa had already heard about it. Some people in Solomon's upper management made some moves during the entire Christmas holiday.
But Fiona had to go alone, and Janna and Thalassa couldn't go with her!
"Don't worry. I have the confidence that Fiona will be able to handle it," Kenny gently said, "Pregnant ladies need to ensure they get enough sleep, so go to sleep quickly."
"OK."
Thalassa fell asleep restlessly.
Meanwhile, Fiona was still in the study, having a meeting with Henry and the trusted members of Darwin.
Solomon had grown stronger in recent years, and the people in the shareholders' meeting were no longer as pure as they were six years ago.
Fiona had been busy these past few days, getting a general understanding of everything.
"Alright, we have considered everything we can. We'll have to see how the situation unfolds at the shareholders' meeting tomorrow," Fiona calmly said, "Everyone, go rest."
People logged off one by one, leaving only Henry.
"Secretary Woods."
"Don't worry. If I can't handle this situation, how can I effectively run Solomon in the future?" Fiona smiled faintly. "I'll have to trouble you a bit."
"No problem, as long as I can help you and Solomon, I'll do anything!" Henry replied.
"After all these years, we're going to stand side by side again, and I'm looking forward to it," Fiona said sincerely.
Tears welled up in Henry's eyes, "I promise not to let Secretary Woods down!"
"Alright."
She ended the video call.
Fiona glanced at her phone's screensaver, which was a recent photo of the four of them as a family.
‘Whatever devil comes tomorrow, trying to snatch Darwin's company, they will face a ruthless Fiona!’
Early next morning, the atmosphere at Solomon, which had just resumed work, was unusually heavy.
The news of Mr. Solomon's apparent death had been circulating for over half a month, and there was still no breakthrough.
The employees at the lower levels felt the tremors in the upper management.
Today, it was rumored that Mrs. Solomon would attend the annual shareholder meeting instead of Mr. Solomon for the first time.
Under normal circumstances, Mrs. Solomon should take the exclusive elevator in the underground garage directly to the president's office, just like Mr. Solomon, but Fiona chose not to do so.
Fiona was well aware of the media attention. Still, she parked her car at the entrance instead of the underground garage.
Many shareholders were waiting outside.
Fiona wore a sharp black suit and still had sleek shoulder-length hair.
"Fiona, why is Mr. Solomon not attending this important shareholder meeting? There are rumors online that Mr. Solomon has passed away. Can you confirm if it is true?" a reporter asked.
"Fiona, we heard that the president and his wife from the Astralis family have been waiting for you for a week. You are withholding their son's body and refusing to meet them. Is it because you don't want the deceased to rest in peace?" another reporter questioned.
"Fiona, are you trying to annex Solomon under the Rhoads family this time?”
Upon hearing this, Fiona finally stopped walking.
She looked at the reporter who asked the question.
"I can tell you unequivocally that Solomon is Solomon， and Rhoads family is Rhoads family. The two will never merge, and no one will swallow the other," Fiona answered.
After answering, she ignored the crowd of reporters.
Fiona entered the Solomon building with confident strides.
The receptionist stood tall and bowed respectfully to Fiona.
Fiona nodded slightly and walked toward the president's private elevator hall.
"Fiona looks so cool," murmured one of the female receptionists, watching Fiona's figure from behind.
"Look at all these reporters outside. Are they like zombies flocking to the scent of blood?" another girl glanced at the media crowded outside.
Media from both domestic and foreign sources had gathered today.
They were all gathered outside the Solomon building in an unprecedented scene.
Before long, the hashtags "#Secretary WoodsSolomon Shareholder Meeting" and "#Solomon and Rhoads Family Will Never Merge" rose to the top of the trending topics.
