Revenge On My First Love
Chapter 268 Taking Over the Company Formally

"Well, at least you have someone to kiss and hug. What about me? I got nothing!"

Bailey gave him a look. "That's better. It's torture to hold back the urge."

From this point, Drake was lucky.

Many people in the company saw the marks on Drake.

The secretaries who fantasized about him knew they should give up, although they never had much hope.

In Drake's eyes, they were just employees.

After a long period of adjustments, Sophia finally decided to go to Abby's previous company.

Although she had got many shares and become the CEO, she hadn't been there.

Sophia's arrival made many people nervous.

No one knew what Sophia came for.

At the shareholders' meeting, several people were against Sophia. "Although Ms. Lawson is a strong woman, she isn't familiar with our company. Besides, she has many companies. I suggest that she should remain as the biggest shareholder get engaged in the management!"

Sophia knew the person. His name was Spencer Porter and the shares he owned were only second to Sophia's.

When Abby was in charge of the company, he had wanted to take some shares from Abby, but Abby never gave him a chance.

Now Sophia took Abby's place. He probably thought he could get a chance. That was the reason he made such a proposal.

His supporters all said, "Yes, Mr. Porter is right. We should put the profit of the company as a priority. Our company has been weakened. If the person manages the company fails, our interests will be further damaged. I believe no one wants this to happen."

Some shareholders were hesitating, but after hearing those words, they all nodded.

Seeing this, Spencer said in satisfaction, "Thank you very much for your support. To be fair, we can hire a professional manager to take charge of the company. How do you think about it?" Everyone felt it was a good idea.

Sophia entered the room at this time, "It seems that you guys have decided on what to do with the company before I even come."

Sophia entered the room like a strong businesswoman.

Some of the people present had some business interaction with Sophia, but they never expected to be working at the same company as her.

Her aura was much stronger than Abby's.

That was easy to understand.

Sophia was born into a prestigious family. And now, she owned several companies. She was extraordinary from the inside out.

"Ms. Lawson!"

Everyone stood up, especially Spencer.

"Ms. Lawson, it's a great honor to see you here!"

Sophia went to the middle and glanced at him. "Do you really wish to see me here, Mr. Porter?"

Spencer smiled politely. "Ms. Lawson, why did you say that? Before you arrived, we were thinking if you didn't care about us!"

"If I had come earlier, I am afraid I wouldn't know what you guys are planning." Although she knew that she'd have to work with these people in the future, Sophia didn't show them mercy. She wouldn't be merciful when she shouldn't.

"Ms. Lawson, we are doing this for your good. Think about it, you have to manage so many companies by yourself. But this company is unlike any of yours. I'm afraid you can't take care of it!" "So, I should thank you, Mr. Porter?"

"You're welcome. We work for the same company, we should be united."

United?

That sounded so insincere.

Sophia looked at each shareholder. People were all shocked by the intimidating look in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm late, but I brought you guys' gifts today."

Gifts?

Those shareholders were rich and powerful and lacked nothing.

Did she even expect to bribe them with gifts?

How hilarious she was!

Chloe handed out the gifts.

When they got their gifts, they felt incredible.

"Mr. Martin, I know you have been suffering from your waist disease. So, I asked my brother to develop this intelligent machine that can relieve low back pain. Put it on your waist and it could relieve a lot of pain in about ten minutes. It's very convenient."

"Mr. Combs, I heard that your mother is suffering from a headache. This special medicine is for your mother. It would greatly reduce her pain."

"Mr. Sawyer..."

Everybody got a gift except Spencer.

Spencer looked awful. Sophia's meaning was obvious.

People all expressed their thanks. "Ms. Lawson, you are so considerate. The gifts are very useful for us. Thank you."

Sophia smiled. "You're welcome. Not just you, I've prepared a gift for every employee in the company. They should have gotten it."

That must cost a lot!

Sophia continued, "I had to deal with the affairs of those companies and prepare gifts for all of you, so I came here late. Please don't mind." Having taken Sophia's gift, no one could complain.

When they shifted their gazes towards Spencer, they all understood that Sophia came today to drive them to choose which side to take. She was young but clever and resourceful.

"We don't mind at all. Ms. Lawson, you must be busy running so many companies!"

"Yes, Ms. Lawson, we all understand!"

Sophia smiled and said, "I'm relieved to hear that you all understand. From now on, I will focus on our company."

"I know that you guys are not very content with my previous work experience. I have many companies but they are all small compared with this one. So, you are worried that I won't bring you more benefits." "You don't have to worry about this, and I will try my best to bring you more benefits."

Spencer said with a long face, "Ms. Lawson, action speaks louder than words."

Sophia said patiently, "Mr. Porter, you're right. By the way, Chloe, everyone has gotten their gifts, why hasn't Mr. Porter received a gift? Didn't you prepare it?"

Chloe said cooperatively, "Let me see!"

After searching everywhere, Chloe said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to prepare Mr. Porter's gift."

Sophia pretended to be angry. "What's wrong with you? Mr. Porter is the second largest shareholder of the company. Didn't I ask you to prepare a gift? How could you forget it?"
