"Where's the stuff?"

Dwight Young asked urgently.

In the corner, Freya Bates handed over a small box.

She said, "The memory card is inside."

"Well done. Once this is over, I won't let you go unrewarded."

With that,

Dwight Young quietly returned to the meeting room.

Seeing the joy on his face,

Valerie Fisher, sitting on the board of directors, felt a weight lifted from her heart.

"When I was young, I was always busy with my career, neglecting many things, especially my eldest daughter, Darlene Fisher. In hindsight, I owe her a great deal. Now her daughter is also all grown up, so today, taking this opportunity as chairman, I'd like to formally introduce my granddaughter, Jocelyn Tate."

Gunner Fisher finished speaking.

Applause broke out in the venue.

In the corner, Jocelyn Tate stood up, walked over to Gunner Fisher, and bowed deeply to everyone.

Gunner Fisher held her hand,

saying, "I'm getting old, and my health is deteriorating day by day. I'm also finding it hard to handle work. So, after today's board meeting, I plan to resign."

As soon as he finished speaking,

there was another round of commotion.

Everyone started whispering to each other.

Valerie Fisher said, "Dad, you can't resign yet. You're the backbone of Gable Group."

As soon as she said this,

many board members echoed her sentiments.

Gunner Fisher waved his hand and said, "One must accept getting old. I've worked my whole life, and it's time for me to retire. I personally hold 55% of the shares in Gable Group, and my younger daughter Valerie holds 5%. Compared to my eldest daughter, my younger daughter Valerie has always been by my side, and I've never shortchanged her. After thinking it over, I plan to split my 55% shares—30% to my granddaughter Jocelyn and the other 25% to my younger daughter Valerie..."

Before he finished speaking,

the room was once again in shock.

Especially Valerie Fisher, whose face twitched.

Inside, however, she was boiling with anger.

Wishing she could devour Jocelyn on the spot.

She had spent her whole life working for Gable Group and only received 30% of the shares, while Jocelyn, who did nothing, also got 30%. This was utterly unfair to her.

But she didn't dare say anything.

Gunner Fisher's words carried weight.

If she stood up to rebut, it would only have the opposite effect.

Thinking about this,

she glanced at Dwight Young in the corner.

Dwight Young got the hint and nodded.

Picking up the remote control for the projector, he secretly pressed a button.

Suddenly, lewd sounds started emanating from the speakers.

Everyone was stunned, looking at the projector behind the chairman. On the screen, a man and a woman were entangled with each other, and the scene was overly explicit.

Gunner Fisher turned his head, his face immediately darkening.

He shouted, "What's going on? Turn it off!"

Dwight Young pretended to panic and stood up, bustling around the projector equipment, but despite trying for a long time, he couldn't turn it off. He was doing this to further embarrass Jocelyn.

"Look, it's Mr. Fisher."

"Yes, it's Mr. Fisher... actually Mr. Fisher?"

"Tsk tsk tsk... What's going on here? It's simply scandalous."

Murmuring broke out suddenly.

Previously uninterested, Valerie Fisher was suddenly jolted to attention.

She looked up at the screen, only to realize the scene showcased herself entangled with her yoga coach.

"Ah... ah... it feels so good, harder, harder, you're much better than my husband, you've got me in ecstasy, come on, keep going, it's so itchy down there..."

At this moment, the lewd sounds began to play out loud as well.

Dwight Young also realized something was wrong.

Turning his head, he stood dumbfounded on the spot.

Seeing the footage still playing,

Valerie Fisher rushed over and directly unplugged the projector.

The "intense" scene finally came to an end.

The room fell into a dead silence.

Everyone suppressed their laughter, looking at the embarrassed Valerie Fisher.

Her face flushed with alternating shades of green and white, leaving her speechless for a good while.

After all, she was fifty years old, and the man straddling her on screen was at least twenty years younger.

The person who looked the most discomfited was none other than Gunner Fisher.

He was a traditional and old-fashioned man, otherwise he wouldn't have forced Dylan Tate to divorce and leave back then.

After a long period of silence,

he said, "What I said earlier doesn't count. From today onwards, I'll transfer all my 55% shares to my granddaughter Jocelyn Tate. Valerie Fisher will retain 5% and be expelled from the board of directors. This is my will. Attorney Lee, please proceed with the necessary procedures."

After saying this to the group lawyer,

Gunner Fisher directly stood up.

Holding Jocelyn Tate's hand, he said, "Jocelyn, come, accompany grandpa for a walk."

"Okay, grandpa."

Jocelyn Tate followed Gunner Fisher out of the meeting room.

The other board members also followed and burst into laughter once they reached the hallway.

In the meeting room.

At this moment, only Valerie Fisher and Dwight Young were left.

With a loud slap,

Valerie Fisher slapped Dwight Young across the face, angrily saying, "You damned fool!"

Dwight Young felt very aggrieved.

He was helping her fight for family property, yet she was fooling around with another man out there, feeling both wronged and furious.

In retaliation, he slapped Valerie Fisher back.

The sound was loud.

Valerie Fisher was bewildered by the hit.

Covering her face, she asked, "You... you dare hit me?"

"You ungrateful woman, fooling around outside and making me a cuckold is one thing, but doing something stupid and then taking it out on me? I've served you faithfully for over twenty years, like a dog. Is this how you repay me?"

Years of resentment finally erupted.

Valerie Fisher shouted, "Dwight Young, what the hell do you think you are? Everything you eat, drink, and wear is provided by me. Without me, you're not even as good as a dog."

"Fine, fine, fine, I'm worse than a dog. Then go be your bitch, fool around with whoever you like, I'm done serving you. Goodbye!"

With that,

Dwight Young stormed out.

Standing there, Valerie Fisher yelled, "Dwight Young, get back here, you bastard, come back here. If you walk out that door, you can never come back!"

Dwight Young ignored her.

Having lost the inheritance, her board membership, and her father's affection, she's now also bereft of her husband. Valerie Fisher's legs gave out, and she collapsed onto the ground, covering her face, sobbing bitterly.

On the other side, Jocelyn Tate,

with just a simple conversation, had acquired 55% of Gable Group shares, making her virtually the chairperson now.

When she emerged after accompanying her grandfather through a workshop,

Dirk Carter and Aziel Grant appeared at the main entrance.

From a distance, the two exchanged a slight smile, bidding farewell.

Upon responding to Gunner Fisher, Dirk Carter was already out of sight when he looked back at the entrance.

"Aren't you going to say goodbye?"

inquired Aziel Grant in the car.

Dirk Carter waved his hand, saying, "No need, I'm someone who attracts trouble. Being too close to her would only cause her inconvenience."

Though he said this,

Dirk Carter was preoccupied with something else entirely.

His vendetta with Rasco Shaw was far from over.

Years later, the two would undoubtedly face another showdown. He didn't want Jocelyn to get caught up in it, believing this to be the best protection and care he could offer her...
