There had been a restructuring among the shareholders of Hayes Corporation. The new president would also be declared.
The restructuring within the Hayes Corporation shook the entire business industry. Once the news was spread, the local, state-owned media and even some international news agencies had gathered there.
The entire press conference was crowded.
Yancy didn’t enter the venue.
Instead, she gazed down from the penthouse suite, feeling satisfied with the spectacle below.
“Mrs. Tsurka, we just received news that Sebastian has departed.”
“Excellent.”
Yancy was getting excited.
She picked up her purse and left the hotel like a queen.
It was exactly nine in the morning when the representative from Hayes Corporation had finally arrived at the press conference.
“It really is a restructuring. I don’t recognize a single person.”
“Exactly. There were so many shareholders in the past. Yet now, there are only two up on the stage. What does this mean? Is a mega-corporation like Hayes Corporation left with only two shareholders?”
“No way. The total assets of Hayes Corporation had reached up to a couple trillion.”
“Let’s wait for Sebastian. There’s still the uncertainty with Solomon. Not sure what is up with him. So it will be best to wait for Sebastian’s announcement.”
A few reporters started discussing as the representatives from Hayes Corporation arrived.
They merely saw two representatives up on the stage. One was Solomon, and the other was a representative from Sinch Enterprise.
Who would believe it was the restructuring of a mega-corporation with only two people up on the stage.
And so they habitually put their hope on the yet-to-arrive Sebastian. They still regarded him as the president of Hayes Corporation.
Yancy had arrived and was waiting in the lounge at the back.
She sneered furiously at the scene she saw from the security cameras.
“Sebastian? Good. Just wait then. I’ll show all of you how your long-awaited Mr. Hayes will fall from his grace.”
Every word she had spitted was layered with deep hatred and a twisted sense of revenge.
It was the same with Solomon.
He clenched his fists tightly at the ignorance of the reporters.
This is the difference between me and him.
I’m the actual son of Frederick’s. But all these years, I was the one who was ignored and looked down on.
Even my own father didn’t take me seriously.
Hence, my urgency to organize this press conference. I need it to regain my position. I need to make my identity known to all.
Solomon continued to wait silently.
However, he hadn’t expected Sebastian to be late. The press conference had started half an hour ago, but Sebastian was still not there yet.
“What happened? Why isn’t Sebastian here yet?”
“Is Sebastian planning on not showing up? Is Solomon making fun of us? He was the one who organized this press conference. I know he was only acknowledged by the Hayes recently.”
The reporters started to lose their patience at Sebastian’s absence.
Solomon’s face darkened at their remarks.
“Hurry up and check what is wrong? Why isn’t he here yet?” he instructed his assistant harshly.
His assistant broke out in a cold sweat.
How would I know about it? The information I received was they have departed, but I don’t understand why he is still not here yet.
The assistant immediately took out his phone and was about to call to inquire about the situation.
Unexpectedly, before he could do that, a commotion broke out at the venue.
When he lifted his head to glimpse, he noted a few people had entered.
“It’s Peter! He’s the original shareholder of Hayes Corporation. They’re here!”
“Right. The original shareholders are here. Does that mean the restructuring won’t have much of a change?”
Instantly, all the reporters were pointing their cameras at those who entered.
The mood of those on stage and Yancy soured at their appearance.
Why are they here?
At that moment, Peter and others who had arrived started greeting the reporters enthusiastically.
“Hi, everyone. It has been a while.”
“Mr. Miller, you’re finally here. I really thought Hayes Corporation would undergo a major change from the restructuring.”
Peter didn’t reply to the reporter’s comment instantly. He chuckled then led the others up toward the stage.
“My apologies for our tardiness, Mr. Solomon. I hope you won’t mind.”
Peter was a sly, old fox.
He merely cheerily greeted the glare from Solomon and the representative from Sinch Enterprise.
Solomon could merely endure and keep his anger in check at Peter’s words.
“No, I don’t. Please take a seat.” He gestured to the seat beside him.
