Chapter 2461
It was a call from the bodyguard he had dispatched.
Chase hurriedly answered and was greeted by the feeble voice of his bodyguard.
“I’m sorry, boss.
All our men have been badly injured, and your mother was taken from the house.
”
Damn it, Rosalynn had indeed rescued Debora!
Chase gripped his phone tightly and cursed under his breath.
Just then, Frankie landed a solid punch on Chase.
He huffed, “You bastard! How dare you imprison your own mother! You won’t get away with this.
Furthermore, the shares you acquired through illegal means will not be recognized!”
Looking down at Chase, who was now on the floor, Rosalynn declared coldly, “Chase, you are suspected of illegally detaining others.
I have alerted the police.
Edwin, take him away and hand him over to the authorities!”
“Yes, ma’am!” Edwin responded, pulling Chase up from the floor.
Chase shot Rosalynn a murderous glare.
“Rosalynn, you’ll regret this!”
Rosalynn dismissed his threat and faced the board of directors with composure.
Frankie, feeling his anger somewhat dissipate after striking Chase, sat back down and addressed the room.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby announce that from today, my daughter-in-law will temporarily assume the presidency of the Hughes Group, and she will oversee all company operations.
”
Since it was his son’s decision, he pledged his full support.
The directors present murmured among themselves, some in agreement, others with reservations.
After all, Rosalynn had never managed a company before.
How could they confidently entrust her with leadership of such a large group?
“Frankie, it’s a huge company.
Can we really be sure about letting her run it?”
“Even though the CEO is determined by who holds the most shares, does she actually have the skills needed to manage the group?”
“Exactly!”
One director after another expressed their doubts.
Rosalynn tapped the table gently with her slender fingers, signaling for calm.
“I acknowledge my lack of experience.
But that does not mean I am incapable of running the group effectively.
Experience isn’t the only measure of ability.
”
She paused for a moment before continuing, “Moreover, before we discuss my capabilities, consider my background.
Even if I lack some skills, I am supported by the Moreno family, the Fernandez family in Betton, and the Robles family in Wragos.
These families are allies of Brian and myself; they represent a formidable backing.
”
Her intention wasn’t to boast but to assert her authority.
