Chapter 891: 891. Jones is going bankrupt.

But because Adam Jones had control over fifty percent of the Jones shares, even if they wanted to buy all the shares from the market and other shareholders, the most they could do was only match Elly Campbell’s shareholdings.

So, to truly swallow such a large share of the Jones Family was indeed beyond their capabilities.

Some people took advantage of the massive plunge in Jones’ share price to influence the board to forcefully finance the company, attempting to dilute Adam’s shares.

Once Adam’s shares were reduced, they planned to buy back shares from the financing company, gradually swallowing up Jones.

They were confident because they were certain of Adam’s likelihood of not surviving, and now the Jones Family only had an elderly woman in her eighties and his wife, Elly Campbell, originally from the Campbell Family.

Due to Elly, Adam had a poor relationship with his father-in-law, James Campbell, who not only wouldn’t help his daughter but might also take the chance to interfere and attempt to swallow Jones as well.

As for Elly herself, it was said that she was the chairman of Brayman Building Material Industry, but that was solidified by her mother, who even hired Greenhill Ainley as CEO to manage it, practically requiring nothing from her.

So, what capability could a woman have to outmatch these veterans who had been in the business world for decades?

The board members all thought this way, so much so that in the absence of the chairman at the shareholder meeting, they wanted to vote on forcefully financing Jones.

Jones Group, top floor conference room.

"Currently, President Jones’s life or death is unclear, and Jones’ stock price has plummeted. There’s a chance it could be suspended at any time. Now only letting financial companies invest in Jones can stabilize the situation. Therefore, I vote in favor of financing."

The speaker, Edward Gresia, was a veteran at Jones, holding considerable shares since Henry Jones was alive.

Later, after Henry Jones’s incident, he had tried to take over Jones in the same manner but ultimately lacked the capabilities, and was staunchly held off by the Old Lady.

Now, in his view, the Old Lady no longer had the energy to compete with him. As for Adam’s wife, she was nothing more than a flower nurtured in a greenhouse. What could she possibly bring to the table?

Besides Edward Gresia, other shareholders on the board thought similarly.

Although not necessarily all as driven by the ambition to devour Jones, given the current situation of Jones, if they did not finance, Jones could very well collapse.

So, even with the absence of the board chairman, they were ready to vote on the financing without needing Madam Jones’ consent.

Just when everyone was starting to raise their hands in favor of the motion, the door to the conference room was pushed open.

Elly Campbell, dressed in a smoke-gray suit with her hair neatly tied back in a ponytail, was followed by Robert Green holding a folder and Harry Hall, the legal consultant of Jones.

Her presence carried a hint of a queen’s arrival, causing shareholders who had previously scorned her to be stunned momentarily.

Everyone was shocked to realize that this woman carried an air similar to Adam’s.

"What’s going on? Is it our rule in Jones that the major shareholder hasn’t arrived, and you can vote as you please?"

Having shed the fatigue that had filled her face upon arrival, her gaze swept sharply across everyone present and then rested on Edward Gresia’s face.
