Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Baby

Shareholders gradually left the meeting room.

Uncle Moore exchanged glances with the remaining members of the Moore Family, wearing a smug smile as he walked out of the room.

Julia Land kept a stern face until only she and Assistant Scott were left; then, slowly, the corners of her mouth curled into a slight smile.

She sat back languidly,

"Assistant Scott, you can take a short vacation for now."

Julia spoke languidly, then took out her phone and sent a playful message to James Thompson, "Kisses, babe. Wait for me tonight... wait for me to cook dinner."

Michael Scott replied with a "Yes," a bit puzzled, but he knew Julia’s arrangements had their reasons.

Anyway, he felt that this matter was definitely not settled.

It was just uncertain how Julia intended to proceed.

Uncle Moore got into his car, delightedly made several calls, and got in touch with some media outlets, asking them to prepare to report the news of the chairmanship change at Moore Group.

He was now the chairman of the Moore Group and was planning to use this opportunity to solidify his position.

Julia put on her sunglasses and walked out of the Moore Group building, immediately surrounded by reporters waiting outside.

The reporters swarmed in; the bodyguards swiftly held them off.

The reporters kept asking, "Director Land, what are your thoughts on today’s shareholders’ meeting? Are you no longer serving as the chairman?"

The bodyguards endeavored to block the questions, ensuring Julia could leave smoothly.

On a TV news report, a reporter was broadcasting live, "Good afternoon, viewers. According to reliable sources, the Moore Group held a shareholders’ meeting today, and the current chairman, Julia Land, has been dismissed, with another member of the Moore Family taking over the chairmanship. Whether this change will lead the Moore Group out of its current difficulties remains to be seen."

People in the circle also noticed the news about the change in chairman at Moore Group.

They were somewhat curious and discussed it among themselves.

"If you don’t have the capability, there’s no need to manage a company."

Some even scoffed, "It was only a matter of time before Julia Land lost her position as chairman, she simply couldn’t hold it."

Julia was unaware of these discussions, and even if she knew, she wouldn’t take them to heart.

Today, Madame Bell, Mrs. Liu, and Jasmine Lewis went to watch a play together.

After the play, they planned to go out for a meal.

Celeste Lewis sat quietly next to Jasmine Lewis, listening to their conversation.

Mrs. Liu smiled at Jasmine Lewis and said, "Your daughter has a fortunate marital fate. She’s born in the year of the rabbit, and combined with her zodiac signs, the rabbit’s compatible zodiacs are goat and pig, and its ally is the dog. This year with ’Red Luan’ in play, if she’s single, her fortunes in love are very positive and she might meet her destined partner."

Upon hearing this, Jasmine Lewis’s eyes lit up, and she turned to Madame Bell, "Isn’t your Arthur born in the year of the goat? Does he have a partner yet?"

Madame Bell smiled slightly and nodded, "Arthur was born in the year of the goat and he’s currently single."

She glanced at Celeste, who shyly tugged on Jasmine Lewis’s dress.

Celeste was pretty and cute, lively in character—an excellent match to Arthur’s calm demeanor.

Jasmine Lewis seemed very interested, "What a coincidence, Celeste is a rabbit and Arthur is a goat, their signs are highly compatible, maybe they could be a pair."

Madame Bell responded with a smile, "Compatibility is indeed a good sign. But ultimately, it depends on what the children think."

Mrs. Liu nodded in agreement, "Yes, compatibility is good, but ultimately it comes down to whether they are destined for each other."

Hearing this, Celeste blushed slightly and whispered, "Mom, please stop talking about it, it’s embarrassing."

Jasmine Lewis patted her daughter’s hand with a laugh, "Alright, alright, no more talking."

Mrs. Liu chuckled, "Celeste is a fine girl, Madame Bell can act as a matchmaker and let them try a blind date."

Madame Bell hummed in agreement with a laugh, "I’ll ask Arthur about it tonight."

Just then, someone at the next table was watching the news, exactly the part about Julia being ousted.

"That Julia Land is quite impressive, becoming chairman at such a young age, it’s just a pity she lacks the capability."

"She’s really beautiful though."

"Beauty has nothing to do with ability."

Madame Bell, noticing the mention of ’Julia Land,’ looked puzzled.

Celeste handed her phone to Madame Bell, "Aunt Bell."

Madame Bell looked at the news on the phone, her expression turning grim.

She hadn’t expected her daughter to be dismissed from the chairman position.

She looked at Mrs. Liu, her gaze filled with confusion, "Mrs. Liu, didn’t you say there would be a noble person to help? Now my daughter’s career is facing such a big problem, where is this noble person you mentioned?"

Mrs. Liu wasn’t offended by Madame Bell’s questioning; she looked at the news first before saying, "Madame Bell, don’t worry, this is just temporary. You should have faith in your daughter’s abilities, she is destined to have noble help."

Mrs. Liu spoke with certainty.

Madame Bell looked at Mrs. Liu, still with a hint of doubt in her eyes, "But my daughter has already been dismissed, and the board has already decided."

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Madame Bell, everything has a cause and effect, you can wait for the outcomes peacefully, your daughter’s future fortunes are good."

Madame Bell nodded, but due to the situation with Julia, she had no mood to continue the conversation and excused herself early.

Upon returning home, Madame Bell sighed heavily and sat beside Connor Bell, "Honey, about Julia’s situation, what should we do? She has been removed from the chairman position, and there’s a lot of public discourse."

Connor Bell patted her hand steadily, "Whether our daughter remains chairman or not doesn’t matter, she has the Bell Family and James Thompson behind her, we should believe that Julia will handle it well."

Julia’s acquisition of the Moore Group shares and her appointment as chairman had indeed been an eyesore for others.

Connor didn’t explain this in detail to Madame Bell, as he figured it would only make her worry more.

After listening to her husband, Madame Bell felt somewhat reassured.

She knew her husband was right; Julia had the support of the Bell Family and James Thompson, it wasn’t a big deal.

Whether she was the chairman or not, after all, it was the Moore Group.

She didn’t realize Julia was plotting for the entire Moore Group.

After letting go of her worries, Madame Bell finally had time to check the message Mrs. Liu had sent.

[Madame Bell, you should be at ease, trust me, I have been fortune-telling for others for over a decade, your daughter’s future fortunes are definitely very good, there’s a circus suitable for kids this Saturday, you can take your lovely granddaughter to see it.]
