A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 126 Mr. Smith Stands by her (2)

Those objections make Mr. Smith frown. He knocks his fingers on the table and when the room is quiet,

he says, "What's wrong with the manager being the acting President? If she is qualified to be the acting

CEO, why I can’t appoint her to be the acting President?"

"I will not break the rules of the Smith Group. The Smith family members will not be the acting

President. As for Samson and Mr. Gill, you have many things to deal with, and I cannot burden you

anymore."

Samson and Mr. Gill smile reluctantly, not daring to object Mr. Smith’s decision.

They wish the burden are upon them!

"Mr. Smith, your decision is to take the entire Smith Group risk!" Olivia didn't expect Mr. Smith to be so

insistent, and she is shaking, "What if the Smith Group collapses?"

Just then Meghan comes in with the papers.

"Hello, I'm Meghan from the secretarial department and the secretary to Mr. Louis." Meghan bows and

then says politely, "I'd like to show you the documents that Mr. Louis left."

Meghan asks Mr. Smith, "Mr. Smith, could you spare a few minutes?"

Mr. Smith nods.

Meghan takes the documents to Mr. Smith, and after he checks it, he looks at Olivia. "This is the

document Mr. Louis signed when he set up the Regulators department. Look at the Article 14, please.”

"Regulators should be in charge of the Smith Group when he has an emergency business or is unwell.

Now Mr. Louis is in the hospital and cannot return for a short time. Lily should be the acting President

of the Smith Group. "

"Nonsense, the Smith Group is not his, and there are so many shareholders." Olivia fumes. "How can

the staff stake their future on a manager? And it's only Mr. Louis who signed it in person, and he's just

the President. Matters related to company safety should be decided by the board of directors!"

Mr. Smith doesn't say a word. After one of the shareholders has read it, Mr. Smith tells Meghan to take

the documents to him. He takes out his pen, and signs his name on it.

Mr. Smith asks Olivia, "I'm the chairman of the Smith Group, and I have signed on this document. Is

that all right?"

Olivia, who did not expect Mr. Smith to do this, is stunned for a moment, and looks pale, not knowing

what to say. Lily looks away, can’t help laughing.

She didn’t expect Mr. Smith to be so naughty that he wouldn't give his own sister any face.

"Mr. Smith, you cannot choose this woman. She is not good!" Katherine points to Lily. "She framed

Jason so she could divorce him!"

Mr. Smith immediately turns to Lily and asks, "Is it true that you have been married to Jason?"

Lily nods, feeling a little embarrassed.

After knowing the identity of Mr. Smith, Lily finds out that the son he mentioned before is Louis, while

she has been married to Jason for one year, and Jason is Louis nephew. Could it not be

embarrassing?

"You..." Mr. Smith points to Lily and looks at Jason. He wonders, "Lily is a nice girl, beautiful and

capable. Jason, why do you want a divorce?"

"Mr. Smith, you've got the point wrong!" Katherine stamps her feet and blushes. "The point is that she

spread the video of Jason having an affair with Lucy, the former manager of the planning department,

in the Smith Group. Because of the scandal, the stock of the Smith Group fluctuated a lot in those

days, and Jason is transferred to Shetland North branch."

"She made the Smith Group a disgrace to the public for her own private affairs, so she becomes acting

President. What if she gets even with the Smith Group and makes the Smith Group collapse when she

becomes acting President?"

"I know what you mean." Mr. Smith nods, learning a lot from Katherine's angry words. "It is Jason who

had an affair and got his wife's revenge, isn't it?"

"Yes, but Mr. Smith..."

"That means it's Jason's fault. Lily is the victim." Mr. Smith interrupts and looks at Jason, "Jason, tell

me, is she wrong to retaliate against you?"

From the moment he followed Richard and Ellison into the meeting room, Jason has been standing

there, listening quietly. Now Katherine has changed the subject to him, so he has to answer Mr. Smith’s

question.

Jason glances Lily for a while and then says, "She doesn't do anything wrong. I cheated on her out of

my mind. I have been married to Lily for more than a year, and I know her very well. Although she

studies translation, she learns other things very quickly and has a quick mind. Otherwise, Mr. Louis

would not have set up a department and promoted her to be the manager."

As he speaks, Richard's face turns sour and he gives him a sullen look. Even Olivia looks at him

gloomily.

"Jason, what's wrong with you? You stand up for her after she treated you so badly?" Katherine raises

her voice, "Are you bewitched by her again, so you said that? I heard that you got married soon after

you met. As a member of the Smith family, you don't seem to be in want of anything. Did she propose

to get married in the first place?"

Jason frowns, "We agreed to get married. Aunt, stop being suspicious."

"What your ex-wife has done is hard for people not to think too much."

"Come on, the meeting is as noisy as farm market!" "cries Mr. Smith, frowning, "Since you are so

against it. Let’s vote for it. Choose from Samson, Gill, and Lily, and anyone in the room can vote."

With Mr. Smith's proposal, the others stop arguing.

They wrote down the name of the candidate, roll them up and hand the paper to Meghan. After a few

minutes, Meghan receives all the votes and begins to announce the result.

"Mr. Gill."

"Samson."

"Lily."

"..."

"Lily."

"..."

"Lily."

"..."

In addition to the several votes for Gill and Samson, the rest are for Lily. When Meghan reads out the

tickets in her hand, Lily gets 43 tickets!

Olivia and Richard are so angry that they can’t say anything.

Half of the shareholders are present in the whole meeting room. There are about 60 people in the top

management, and more than half of the votes are in favor of Lily, who won a slide victory.

Mr. Smith looks at everyone in the room and says, "Well, Lily got the most votes. I think no one would

be objective to this result, right?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"No."

Olivia, no matter how upset she is, could only agree. "I respect the result.”

Lily wants to say something, "Mr. Smith..."

“What's the matter?” Mr. Smith looks at Lily with a big smile on his face. "This is not a unilateral

decision. We all voted for it. Are you confident to be the acting president?”

Mr. Smith's eyes are sharp but warm, with trust in her, as if saying, "Go and do it. I'll support you if

something goes wrong!" Lily feels warm in the heart.
