Love Comes To Me
Chapter 437: How does a dog in the manger taste

Eloise wasn't stupid, these days, the news of the Thompson Group changing ownership was buzzing around.

The news of the Thompson Group's change of ownership had been making the rounds for some time now, and with Hector always on the go, it was time for her to get a clue, no matter how slow she was. This day, after dinner, Hector is back at his desk, busy and indifferent when Eloise calls him twice.

Eloise put down the hot milk in her hand and asked, "Hector, tell me the truth, have you been busy with the Thompson Group these days?"

Hector knew he couldn't hide it from her and nodded straight away, "I can't watch your family's fortune, fall into someone else's hands for nothing."

In fact, Eloise wanted to tell Hector that she was no longer involved with the Thompson family.

So she didn't care what happened to the Thompson Group.

But before she could say anything, Hector said, "I know you don't care about fighting over things, but there are many shareholders who don't want the Thompson Group to change hands. You are the rightful heir and no one else will have a problem with that. You'll be sitting as chairman, and you'll sort of be preserving the Thompson Group."

"But..."

Eloise was about to say something else, but it suddenly occurred to her that the Thompson Group had come this far because of her mother's inseparable credit.

Part of her mother's heart and soul was in this too.

Even if she didn't care, she had to think about her mother.

One day she will wake up and see that the Thompson Group's assets are owned by someone else, and she will be very sad.

Hector seemed to see through her thoughts and said softly, "If you don't think about yourself, you should think about our mother. Do you really want to watch the Thompson family fall into someone else's hands and not do anything about it?" The thought of her mother's situation added to Eloise's sense of powerlessness.

She was the one who was incapable back then, and now she was going to watch her mother get upset all over again?

It was only after a long moment that she nodded.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Hector turned to her and took her hand in his tightly.

A thin film had formed on the surface of the hot milk on the table.

It seemed to announce that so much time had passed that it was time for someone to end the stalemate.

Hector took the hot milk and drank it down, then went back to his work with the data on his computer. He's always been a quick and easy worker.

The next day, all the Thompson Group executives sat together again, with fear and uncertainty in their minds.

Some of those in the know look at Cullen at the head of the table and think that he is redundant to be sitting there at the moment.

Outside the window was a gloomy sky, with dark clouds bearing down, as if to signal that the day was not meant to be peaceful.

And for the Thompson Group, something big was going to happen today.

Chairman Foard, sitting closest to Cullen, snorted, "Lin, are you comfortable in your position as Chairman of the Thompson Group?"

His words were so full of provocation that one could not help but feel a sigh of relief.

The next moment, Eloise and Hector walked in with a powerful aura.

Eloise scanned the room and dropped a share ownership letter directly onto the table.

"This is the Thompson Group share ownership book, marked out on it, is all the shares in my name, and the Thompson Group transfer rights, let's see if you have any objections."

Eloise was dressed in a long black dress, setting off a noble and cold appearance, and her words were even colder, making people shudder a little.

The crowd passed it around and saw that the name of the owner of the shares was Eloise.

When they saw that the name of the owner of the shares was Eloise, and that her status was that of the titular chairman of the board, it was immediately clear to them.

When they had almost finished reading, Eloise said, "I am Eloise, the titular chairman of the Thompson Group, which was transferred into my name when my grandfather died and has long since ceased to belong to Josh, so the deal between you has no legal effect."

Having said that, she looked back to Cullen at the head table and asked, "Mr Cullen, how does a dog in the manger taste?"

This Mr Cullen, too, was called with the utmost irony.

Cullen sat there, already on pins and needles, but he didn't want to come down yet.

Seeing Cullen's indifference, the shareholders who had been turned, along with Chairman Foard, were there.

You said one thing and I said another to help Eloise.

Some people were also extremely upset about Eloise's sudden return.

But when they saw Hector beside her, they all shut up.

Despite his reluctance, Cullen had no energy left to fight back, so he had to get off the top seat.

And so, before his butt was even warmed up, he was removed from office.

He had been in office for less than half a month, making him the shortest-serving chairman of the Thompson Group in its history.

When he came out of the boardroom, Josh, who was sitting in the doorway, was suddenly energised.

After all, it was Eloise who was now in the chair, and she was her daughter, so she would certainly treat her better than an outsider.

Eloise was expected to sit at the head of the table and glanced at the people below her.

The aura of a strategist instantly infected everyone.

In the past, she had always stood next to Hector, and everyone had overlooked her abilities.

However, at this moment, when she was actually sitting in this position, everyone understood that she was capable of sitting in this position.

Unlike the last time Cullen was in the chair, there was silence as Eloise took her seat, as if waiting for her to say something.

Eloise said in a cool voice, "First of all, thank you all for your support. Secondly, although I am a titular chairman, I don't care about the real thing. But I will still send someone over to sit on the company and make sure it runs properly." Hearing this, Josh instantly sat up straight, his heart pounding with excitement.

Publicly, there was no one better qualified to run the company than him.

Privately, the Thompson Group was his company, and Eloise was his daughter, so it was only fitting that he should be given this authority.

With that in mind, he turned his attention to Eloise.

He hoped that she would assign him to the position with her next offhand remark.

But to his surprise, Eloise didn't even look at him and said directly to the door, "Come in."

As soon as the words left her mouth, a middle-aged man pushed his way in and stood quietly beside Eloise.

"This is Patriarch Halsted, he will henceforth assume the position of General Manager and act as my sole agent for the Thompson Group, are there any questions from anyone?" Eloise threw out the question after a brief introduction.

"I have a question."

A young shareholder stepped forward, "How do you know he is capable of taking on this position?"

At this point, Hector spoke up, "I transferred him from Rogers Group headquarters, are you under the impression that Rogers Group would keep someone who is not capable?" At these words, there was no more rebuttal from the audience.

After all, no one would think twice about going against Rogers Group unless they were seeking their own death.
