As soon as the doors opened, the lively conference hall fell into a sudden hush. All the shareholders turned their heads to see Eric and Ella enter, flanked by several tall, imposing bodyguards.
The shareholders' gazes toward Eric were tinged with discontent. The Nelson Group had lost billions due to him, and many of them harbored significant grievances.
James, standing at the front of the room, sneered coldly. "You're just in time. I have an important announcement to make today."
Eric, still holding Ella's hand, calmly sat on a nearby sofa, a faint smirk tugging at his lips. "It seems Mr. Nelson went ahead and called a shareholders' meeting without my knowledge. Quite amusing. In your eyes, I was never really the president of this company, was I?"
James felt a sudden pang of unease at Eric's composure, though he quickly brushed it aside. His anger toward Eric had reached its peak, and his plan could no longer be delayed.
