Hollywood Zenith

Chapter 914 : Finale-1

What did she just say? Change the chairman? This was absolutely beyond everyone's expectations.

Delphina's prosperous proposal ignited another of set of explosive murmurs. Originally, it was only issue about the heir but now she was covening the meeting for new chairman.

Alan was frightened. Did his sister lost her mind under pressure? He thought they were rivals but that didn't seem to be the case. He wasn't even qualified to be her opponent.

While he was jumping with joy sure about his victory his sister was targeting a big fish, no, she was targeting the man himself the giant who was at the helm of the empire for decades!

Just hearing her speak to their father in sich a demanding tone was enough to send chills down his spine. Challenging the cunning old man was something which would never cross any sane person's mind.

He had been in his shadows for past few years and had seen how he would ruthlessly dealt with his enemies. He would not wish that fate to even his worse enemies!

But suddenly he felt a surge of joy wash over his body. He finally knew his sister's arrogance had consumed her completely which made things much more simpler. Over time, He was going to force her out off the group but now that she was digging her own grave he was happy with this outcome.

He knew his father well, he might think highly of her but for him work and his prestige came first even before his life. He would never tolerate her disrespect, not infront of everyone.

" My dear daughter, do you know what you are talking about? I must warn you, this is not the place to play such serious pranks." Bernard eyes glint with a rage. His voice was cold devoid of any feelings along with complete change in his demeanor. He never thought his daughter would do something like this, he expected something clever not this nonsense!

Proposing to dismiss him as current chairman? Who gave her such a stupid idea? He finally glared at supposed culprit who was eyeing him too. Damn Rothschilds, was he behind all of this? Did they want to strain father and daughter relationship so that they could pull her away? He knew Delphina had the capabilities to do great things in the future, the young Rothschild must had noticed that too!

" It's not a prank. I would never joke about these things. I am serious." Delphina despite feeling the pressure pressed her father. She had mentally prepared herself for this day so she knew how her father would react.

" Delphina, I will give you another chance just because you are my daughter. Back down now and we will forget this ever happened, you understand?" He gave her a rare ultimatum. Be didn't want to lose his daughter regardless of how this night ended.

I will not participate or interfere in company business at any capacity." Samuel quickly dispelled his suspicion because he expected it.

Still the old man didn't know why he would do such a thing. Was such a large amount of money nothing in his eyes or was there really something going on between him and his daughter?

Under his eyes, Delphina involuntarily showed a slight blush which answered his questions. Could this be the secret they were hiding? But as far as he knew his daughter wasn't into people of his character.

Samuel was a player, he would never stop sleeping around and his daughter was someone who valued loyalty seriously. Her taste was bizzare but he knew she had strong morals and integrity.

Meanwhile, Alan was already sweating bullets. Everything that could have gone wrong was wrong! Seeing his sister standing so close to the devil really put her in new light in his eyes. He never knew she was capable of loving anything other than her job!

"Well, my dear daughter, I admit that I underestimated you, but the number of shares you currently own doesn't seem to be in majority. If my memory aerves me right, combining my and your Uncle Kent's shares would account to thirty one percent of the business."

" If we add the support of people behind me, we can easily surpass forty five percent just shy from a majority. If we do the math, you and your friend here could onky gather about forty percent of the shares. This is not enough for you to replace me." Bernard Arnault laid out the facts, it was essentially his final struggle.

" Mr. Bernard, I only said that my share exceeded ten percent but the actual number is close to fifteen. I have delegated these shares to Delphina which would make our standing closer to your son's faction." Samuel smiled or more like grinned. He could see from old man's changing expression that his mind was spinning violently.

He would have never expected situation to be this dire even in his wildest dreams! The final nail in the coffin would be through someone else but he had to wait, letting his word sink in to those that were listening to their conversation.

Samuel actually spent more than four billion for this project. He knew the market value of the company which was thirty bilkion would balloon to a staggering two hundred in a decade.

It would be the most easiest layup of his life. A great addition to his firm's portfolio!

hmHis indifferences toward money was perplexing. They were not talking about chimp chance. It was billions of dollars, who would ever take a chance with such a capital? They knew Delphina had a ruthless businessman in her corner who would stop at nothing to recoup his investments!
