Chapter 892: 892. People who don’t understand the rules
Edward Gresia felt somewhat guilty under Elly Campbell’s cold gaze and subconsciously diverted his eyes from her face, but then he thought to himself, it’s just a woman after all, strutting around in a suit with the president’s aide following her like she really thinks she’s the president?
However, he did not expect that this woman would adjust her mental state so quickly. Her husband was possibly dead, yet there she was, not weeping at home, but appearing full of energy at the board meeting.
This woman was much more formidable than Henry Jones’s wife back in the day.
As if intentionally trying to hurt her, Edward Gresia disregarded the occasion completely and said:
"Such a big incident happened to President Jones, and Mrs. Jones isn’t staying put at home. How is it that she has the mood to come to the company? Everyone says President Jones and Mrs. Jones share a deep affection, but I don’t see Mrs. Jones looking sad at all?"
Edward Gresia’s words were a deliberate attempt to rub salt into Elly Campbell’s wounds, both Harry Hall and Robert Green behind her frowned deeply.
However, it was Elly Campbell who, upon hearing his words, suppressed the coldness in her eyes without any change in her demeanor, and said:
"Our President Jones of the Jones family is only missing for now. If I were overly saddened, wouldn’t I be cursing our President Jones? But Director Gresia, why don’t you tell me then, did you set the rules for the Jones corporation? Can decisions be made arbitrarily before the major shareholder arrives?"
Elly Campbell smiled, lightly tapping on the surface of the conference table with her fingers, her gaze sweeping over everyone’s face; with each tap, it seemed as if she was striking everyone’s heart.
The crowd avoided Elly’s smile that was not quite a smile, lowering their eyes in silence.
"I’m just now realizing that the Jones corporation also has people who don’t understand the rules."
Though she spoke of the Jones corporation, it was clear to everyone that Elly Campbell was insinuating that Edward Gresia was the one without manners.
Being indirectly scolded by a young woman like this, Edward Gresia’s face immediately turned ugly.
Elly Campbell paid him no heed, calmly taking her seat at the chairman position of the board where Adam Jones used to sit.
Although she was a slender girl, her presence in the chairman’s seat was no less intimidating than any of the men present there.
Even these men who prided themselves on having fought in the business world for decades were momentarily pressed into silence by the aura that Elly Campbell emitted.
Regardless, the woman in front of them was still Adam Jones’s wife, and no matter how little they thought of her, no one had the right to force her out at this moment.
But Edward Gresia didn’t see it that way.
Adam Jones was Adam Jones, and his wife was his wife.
The Jones corporation wasn’t playing house; if the husband was away, the wife shouldn’t be able to step in and take over the chairman’s position.
Edward Gresia looked at Elly Campbell and with a smile that was more a grimace than anything else, he laughed several times before saying:
"Elly, it’s not that Uncle Gresia is being disrespectful, but now with President Jones’s life and death uncertain and our board of directors being leaderless, where do you suggest we find a chairman to make decisions? Surely you can’t just casually take the chairman’s seat just because President Jones has gone missing, right?"
Edward Gresia, relying on his seniority over Adam Jones and the fact that he had once fought alongside Henry Jones, felt quite superior in front of Elly Campbell, and his words were far from polite.
Elly Campbell wasn’t angry; she only smiled and said, "Is Director Gresia not understanding what I’m saying? The chairman or not, I have no interest in that. What I’m talking about is the rights of the major shareholder of the Jones corporation."
Generally, the chairman of the board of a large group company is held by the person with the most shares in the board. Elly Campbell held 50% of the shares of the Jones corporation, naturally qualifying her to be the chairman of the board.
