The guests in the banquet hall whispered to each other, a flurry of discussions began.
Mr. Lewis received a document bag from Mr. Bailes and took out a document from it.
After a quick glance, he calmly spoke.
“Recently, due to some personal reasons, my grandson, Roy, has found it inconvenient to handle affairs of the Lewis Group. In essence, this is a family affair of the Lewis, no need to explain it to anyone.”
“But on second thought, all the guests here are long-term partners and friends of both the Lewis Group and the Lewis family. To dispel any doubts during our cooperation and to avoid unnecessary explanations, here I am going to disclose part of the share transfer agreement of my grandson. Please look at the big screen behind.”
The agreement that he just mentioned was displayed on the screen.
The transferor is Roy Lewis and the transferee is Richelle Dunn.
Most parts of the agreement were blurred out, but one clause, except for the specific number of shares, was fully displayed.
“1. Given great concerns about my health, I have decided to gift all my shares in the Lewis Group (number blurred) to my wife Richelle Dunn. Effective from the date of my signature.”
The next page was his signature and date.
The date was over a month ago.
The audience below the stage fell silent upon seeing the agreement.
But quickly, discussions erupted once again.
Richelle, the receiver of the gift, stared at the content on the screen in disbelief.
“Grandfather, Roy, he…”
Her words were interrupted halfway by Mr. Lewis.
“Richelle, this is Roy’s own decision. I am old and can’t manage you all anymore. Today, with so many guests present, you should sign your name. Then, you will be the chairperson of the Lewis Group.”
This banquet was suggested by Richelle, but she didn’t anticipate that Mr. Lewis would make such a move.
Of course, this move was not really Mr. Lewis’ idea, but Roy’s.
“Grandfather, I cannot…”
But Mr. Lewis stuffed the agreement into her hand, “Richelle, this is also something to consider for the benefit of our many partners.”
Whether Mr. Lewis did it on purpose or he forgot, his low whispering conversation with Richelle was broadcast through the open microphone.
Guests below the stage couldn’t help but speculate from the interrupted words of Richelle.
“Isn’t it? Could the rumor be true?”
“How could it possibly be true? Have you all forgotten, Master Lewis has been ill. Presumably, he will need surgery soon?”
“Why can’t it be true? Think about it, how long has it been since he appeared in public?”
“If it’s true, then the Lewis Group is in trouble…”
“What are you thinking? Our company just signed a new contract with the Lewis Group half a month ago. It was managed by this acting Ms. Dunn. Despite looking young like a student, her methods are very extraordinary.” “But can she really compare to Master Lewis?”
“Of course she can’t, Master Lewis has had a foothold in the business world for more than a decade. As for Ms. Dunn, surely you all haven’t forgotten, she is a renowned architect. In just half a month taking over the Lewis Group, reaching such a level of competency, ordinary people can’t do it.”
“Is she really that amazing? I’m afraid it’s someone else’s plan under her name.”
“How could that be possible? Our contract was concluded after several hours of negotiation. It relied on our abilities, eloquency, quick thinking, and tactics. In such a situation, it becomes clear how much everyone has up their sleeves.”
Richelle and Mr. Lewis on the stage couldn’t hear these discussions from the audience.
Richelle had first intended to reject the notion of signing, but remembered that signing would indeed give some confidence to their partners.
Moreover, with this, Roy’s “death” would appear more plausible.
After all, it was just a transfer agreement. Once Roy “resurrects” and sees the light of day again, they can just void it.
Or, she could transfer it back then.
With this in mind, Richelle took the pen and signed her name at the end of the agreement.
Seeing this from below the stage, the siblings Aldo and others glared with fiery eyes.
However, Mr. Lewis had already taken precautions and arranged several bodyguards to stand at their table.
So, even if Aldo and others wanted to stop it, they could only stay seated and glower..
