Chapter 297: 297. Wild Chicken Lab_1

In James Campbell’s heart, he had already disowned his daughter Elly Campbell.

At this moment, his words, spoken with a sense of righteous indignation, seemed to consider the company’s and shareholders’ interests, but only Elly knew the real scheme he harbored in his heart.

Her gaze slowly swept over the shareholders large and small around the table and she curved her lips into a smile.

Before James divorced Jenna Clark, the combined shares of James and Jenna amounted to forty percent, and together with the fifteen percent held by Elly, the Campbell family owned fifty-five percent of the Campbell corporation, with the remaining forty-five percent held by the other shareholders.

For Campbell, the Campbell family had absolute control, making James’s position as the chairman solid and unshakable.

But the situation was different now.

Since James divorced Jenna, he held only twenty percent of the shares.

Apart from James and Jenna, there was another shareholder who owned eighteen percent. Although James had a mere two shares more than him, in terms of real power, there was no difference.

After assessing everyone with an impassive look, Elly casually withdrew her gaze.

"Of course, this project is good, but it also depends on who conducts the research. Investing such a huge sum of money into a no-name lab is just throwing it away, isn’t it?"

With that, she smiled gracefully, "Although we at Campbell aren’t short of money, we can’t let others treat us like fools. What do you think, dear uncles and seniors?"

Sophie Baker’s face turned white with anger. She glared at Elly’s composed and confident smile, teeth clenched, hating Elly’s description of "no-name lab" so much that she wanted to rush up and tear her mouth apart.

Every time this bitch showed up, nothing good happened. Why did she always have to oppose her?

This bitch!!!

She gripped the edge of the table tightly, managing to conceal her furor from everyone.

The shareholders didn’t really understand the research on zero-formaldehyde eco-friendly paint. They hadn’t outright rejected the proposal initially because, after hearing James’s pitch and considering some recently introduced environmental policies, they thought the project was feasible.

But now, with Elly suddenly showing up at the company and outright rejecting the proposal, coupled with her reference to a "no-name lab", the shareholders’ faces showed signs of hesitation.

James was also furious, but after all, he was still the chairman. If his proposal was to be rejected just because of Elly’s few words, it would be a loss of face for him.

Furthermore, investing a few tens of millions in his little brother-in-law’s lab was a wedding gift for his new wife, Su Qin. If the investment were declined, he would lose face in front of Su Qin.

With these thoughts, James raised his hand and slammed it down hard on the conference table, his gaze towards Elly carrying a somewhat domineering air.

If Elly hadn’t maintained such composure, perhaps it really might have intimidated some.

"Elly, do you think that by speaking so highly and nobly, you can cover up your true intentions? Are you just upset that I divorced your mom and now you’re deliberately opposing me? This is our family matter; don’t bring your personal emotions into the company."

Seeing James’s presumptuous behavior almost made Elly lose control and slap his face with the documents in her hand.

How thick-skinned must someone be to think that her mother would still pine for a man like him, making Elly out to be targeting him?

No need to say, this guy and Sophie Baker must be as thick as thieves, both freaking morons!

Elly gave him a "you’re an idiot" look and stepped forward, "Get up."
