Chapter 806 The Hidden Shares

"I object." A man's voice was heard from the door and all eyes immediately turned to him. Dressed smartly in a business suit was someone by the name of Jason Murray entering with an assistant behind him.

No one knew what was happening as they murmured and gossiped about the intruder's identity. Jason scanned the room and introduced himself, "I believe all of you must be guessing my identity. I will introduce myself. I am Jason Murray and you must have heard of the Murray Group in Yucaria."

Those present at the scene had of course heard about the Murray Group, even though they never lived in Yucaria. The Murray Family was originally from Digton City and went on to establish the powerful Murray Group in Yucaria; it was a success story that was known throughout Digton City.

Not to mention, with the international influence that the Murray Group possessed, most people would have heard of the company.

"Mr. Murray, this is an internal meeting of the Fowler Corporation. I believe it is inappropriate for you to interrupt us. If you wish to discuss any partnership, you can come in another day."

Upon hearing that, Jason smirked. "As the shareholder of Fowler Corporation, how could I miss this important meeting?"

He dropped a bomb that shocked everyone in the room with those words of his. How could he be a shareholder of the Fowler Corporation? There are only so many shares to go around. The total amount of everyone's shares here should add up. How could there be an extra shareholder?

Jason's claim sounded impossible.

Selena sat calmly with a distant look in her eyes. "Please bring a chair for President Murray."

The meeting room was specially prepared for the stakeholders meeting with the number of chairs prearranged based on the count of attendees. In fact, there was an unspoken rule about the seating arrangement according to the status of the shareholder.

With that being said, Niall quickly brought a chair for Jason.

"Alright," Selena continued. "Time for an introduction. This is my cousin, Jason Murray and he is one of the shareholders of Fowler Corporation. Oh, by the way, I didn't reveal that my maternal grandpa, Mr. Jerry Murray, was the founder of the Murray Group. We were reunited not long ago."

Her revelation had sent a shockwave across the room as her father had only passed away a short time ago. Rumors had it that her mother had passed away a long time ago. Where and how did her maternal grandpa fit into the picture?

Jason gave Selena a tender look. "Yes, Miss Selena Yard is the beloved daughter of the Murray Family. A few months ago, to mitigate his risk, Mr. Pierre Fowler had sold part of his secret shares to the Murray Group."

At that moment, his assistant swiftly took out the contract and displayed it for everyone to see. Needless to say, it had rendered all of the shareholders bewildered.

They were shocked to learn about the hidden shares of Fowler Corporation, but what made them stunned was that the shares had been sold to the Murray Group. "How many shares do you hold?"

"I have exactly 68,000 shares."

After he heard the number, Douglas and his supporters looked flustered. I didn't know that he was holding that many shares!

Even though Jason claimed that it was a normal transaction, those who were shrewd could tell that it was all part of Pierre's plan-transferring a portion of his shares to the Murray Family was for security purposes. If nothing happened, the shares would remain in their hands. However, if a power struggle broke out among the Fowlers, the shares with the Murray Family would be of use to Selena.

Since the Murray Family were Selena's maternal family, their shares would naturally belong to her.

Coupled with the hidden shares, she officially held more shares than Douglas.

"Therefore, the presidency is still mine." She glanced at Douglas, who now slowly stood up to acknowledge his defeat, before she added, "Your identity is no longer relevant. Since you can't defeat me with the number of shares, you will never be the new president. You should also know your place."

He looked at her and for the first time, the way she looked when she was focused at work exuded a radiance and loveliness that stood out to him.
