Chapter 892
Rosalynn noticed Hilaria’s lips were a bit pale, so she was a bit worried.
Hilaria waved her hand: “Just talked too much, feeling a bit weak, no big deal. I’m not going to the banquet, you and Wayne can entertain those people for me.”
She paused and looked at Rosalynn: “Even in a situation where you were bound to lose, they still stood by my will and recognized you as the heir. These people are the most loyal ones and will be your wings in the future..”
“Grandma, I know.” Rosalynn handed her some warm water.
Hilaria took a few sips, felt better, and waved her hand again, signaling Wayne and Rosalynn to leave.
“Don’t worry, I’m still here,” Devin said with a grin.
Rosalynn reluctantly agreed and left the conference room with Wayne.
Devin watched their retreating figures and chuckled, “Don’t they remind you of us when we were young?”
Hilaria responded, “Spare me the romantic talk.”
Devin laughed and then looked at Hilaria, asking seriously, “Are you really badly hurt?”
Hilaria shook her head: “I met a good kid who didn’t let me suffer too much. My body is fine, but… I’m getting old…”
*Then retire and let Gabriella take over your position,” Devin said decisively
Hilaria took a deep breath and nodded, “Soon, after the new personnel appointments are made…”
Over the past decades of the Jared Group’s rapid development, there had been many problems. Although everything else was fine, Hilaria wouldn’t feel comfortable handing over the Jared Group to her beloved granddaughter without solving the issues within the board’s top management.
She wasn’t worried about her granddaughter’s ability to handle these troubles, but she didn’t want her precious child to deal with such trivial matters.
This time, thanks to the ungrateful son Latham, she had an excellent reason to solve these problems. It could be said that Latham had indirectly done a good deed for his child.
“I think it won’t be long before Grandma hands the group over to you,” Wayne said softly as he walked beside Rosalynn.
Rosalynn thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Wayne looked at her and started to say something, but someone shouted Gabriella’s name and ran over.
There had been too many things happening lately, and Gabriella had countless bodyguards around her. The person was restrained before he could get close, “What are you doing?!”
“Ms. Gabriella, I really didn’t know about the things Latham did, and I have no ill intentions towards you. Please, don’t kick me out of the company!” The man sobbed and pleaded from the ground.
The shares he held were inherited from his late mother. He had a cushy job at the Jared Group with very few responsibilities, and the annual dividend plus his salary was enough to buy two houses in a first–tier city.
He was a wealthy man.
Back then, he chose to cast his vote for Latham because Latham had more votes than Gabriella. He also believed that Rosalynn didn’t have Hilaria’s will. Therefore, he thought Rosalynn was destined to lose.
Considering all this, he voted for Latham, who had a better chance of winning. He just wanted to maintain his comfortable life.
He never expected Gabriella to win and, even more surprisingly, Hilaria to regain control of the group.
However, he had heard that Gabriella was a kind–hearted person, so he came to her to plead his case.
