After much discussion a plan of action was set in place, Angela was to head over to her family home while Mr. Bell was at work and Ms. Abbot called out Angela's mother, she then would go and collect the needed paperwork and get her son and head to one of the Abbot families private resorts, but before that she would head to the police station and tell them what happened and that she will be taking her son on a trip just in case her parents wanted to throw a fit about it.
Today was the day of the big plan and of course everyone was a little nervous but more than that they also felt confident with their plan, Carter and Gavin called for a shareholder's meeting stating it was quite important and everyone had to be there, Ms. Abbot acted quite surprised at lunch with Mrs. Bell when she received the message and asked Mrs. Bell accompanied her to the meeting as she was also a shareholder or well a shareholder's wife.
With everyone present, the two brothers started off the meeting.
"We thank you all for coming to the meeting even though it was on short notice" Gavin started off the meeting.
"We have an important announcement to make today. We found some disappointing information regarding one of our shareholders and wanted to publicly share it with you all as to hear your reaction on the next steps we should follow" Carter said with a small smile.
The room filled with chatter as everyone was curious about what exactly was going on, how bad did this person's actions have to be for it to be spoken about publicly like this.
"Well first we will start off with the information we gathered on our own and then a statement made by someone who is close to this person" Gavin said as he moved out of the way and so did Carter, as the lights dimmed, and the recording popped up, Gavin started it and both Carter and Gavin glanced over to Mr. Bell.
As the recording played there were a lot of gasps and glances being thrown around, as if someone was trying to find the culprit and once they spotted Mr. Bell their curious glances were soon replaced with glares, the thought of him being so power hungry that he wanted 50% of the company.
"That is the first part of what we found the next part was made by Mr. Bell's daughter herself, it was quite disappointing to think that Mr. Bell thought he could just come in ad take the company if I married his daughter, but there was even more disappointment we found once we confronted his daughter" Carter told everyone, as he switched to the next audio which Angela willingly recorded after their talk.
As the audio played the room fell silent, you could hear a pin drop, everyone's eyes were trained on Mr. Bell who you could practically see the steam coming out of his ears and Mrs. Bell who was red in embarrassment as she tried to hide her face behind her hands.
As the audio finished, the lights turned back on and the two brothers took their place at the front of the room, both with small smiles on their faces.
"So this is what we have found, since Mr. Bell also works at the company we will be doing a more in-depth investigation to see what else has been hidden from us and what else he has been planning" Carter explained and Mr. Bell's face practically went as white as a sheet of paper.
"But until then, we wanted to get the opinion of the shareholders on how we shall handle the situation of this person who has been deceiving us and planning to use his own family to get a bigger stake in the company" Gavin asked curiously, a hand raised and Gavin called the person to speak.
"I think Bell should be removed as a shareholder and also placed on unpaid probation while the investigation is being carried out" The person said and everyone agreed with the statement made.
"Well since it seems we are all in favor of this let's get the last opinion, mom, what do you think?" Carter asked, and Mr. Bell's head shot up for the first time, slowly realizing that she knew all along what was going on.
"I agree, also I just want to tell you both Mr. Bell and Mrs. Bell that Angela is under the care of the Abbot family from this day forward, you don't have any rights to her, she is a grown woman, she also took her son, along with his birth certificate, we already explained everything to the police, I hope you have learned your lesson from this" Ms. Abbot state and the two fell silent once again, neither protesting their behavior nor saying anything on the topic, almost as if they had officially admitted to their defeat.
"Well then that's all for today, I am sorry that we probably interrupted your busy schedules for this, I hope you all will have a good day ahead, and we will see you at the next monthly Shareholders meeting" Gavin said and everyone got up and left, only Mr & Mrs. Bell were left in the room.
Carter, Gavin and Ms. Abbot only glanced at them as they left the conference room, they headed to Carter's office and had a cup of coffee together to celebrate.
"It's odd not having Danny here," Carter said with a sigh.
"It really is, but he is helping Angela get settled and to talk to her son, he will be back in a few days don't worry Cart" Ms. Abbot said comforting her son, the two have been around one another constantly since Daniel started working with Carter and now suddenly the two were apart and things felt a little empty, even she felt a bit empty.
"At least you will be staying with mom until he gets back, and you have Andy to keep you on your toes" Gavin joked, he had taken quite a liking to his niece and he liked how much his brother changed since she came into his life.
