Chapter 161
Jacqueline felt that the atmosphere was not right when she stepped into the house.
When she walked into the living room and saw Shelly's eyes as red and swollen as walnuts, she
quickly asked, "What, what happened?" Her daughter, whom she had loved since she was little, was
crying like this, so she was naturally distressed.
Shelly sobbed while giving a short account of what happened.
After hearing this, Jacqueline was sad and angry and scolded, "You are really stupid. Even if you don't
like Joyce, you can't sacrifice the interests of the group! You didn't even ask me about such a big
matter! I certainly won’t allow you to do such a stupid thing either."
"Auntie, it has been announced on the company forum that the design that Shelly took was a fake one,
and this time it didn't affect the group's interests." Charlotte had been present later, she was clear about
the whole thing, and later she saw Casey's affirmation posted on the company forum.
"Fortunately, you didn't cause big trouble. If there were serious consequences, those people could
impeach me in the board meeting, do you know that? I don't have many shares, and if I am impeached
by the shareholders, there will be no place for me in the group." Jacqueline frowned and said, "Next
time, don't do such a stupid thing. No, there won’t be a next time!"
"I called Luther before I got back and he was going to Mufron on a business trip for a few days. It's a
good thing he's not going back to the Warner family these days. If he told Stephanie, it would be a huge
disadvantage for us. You should stay home these days until things settle down." Jacqueline said with
resentment.
"Grandma is biased … Urgh…" Shelly cried out again.
"Bear with me. Pray that your grandmother doesn't know about this. Didn't you hear what Mr. Baldwin
said last time? Until the last moment, your grandmother is allowed to amend the will. Aren't you afraid
that you will be deprived of your share?" Jacqueline nudged Shelly.
"Right, Mom, what about it? I don't want to lose my shares! I've been fired from the project team today,
I must get my shares to join the board of directors later!" Shelly wiped a handful of tears from her eyes
and started to get anxious. She had gotten into trouble disregarding all the consequences.
"How do I know she won't know!" Jacqueline said, "That's why I say you should think twice before you
do anything! What time is it now, can't you just wait? How many days does your grandmother have to
live? Can't wait a few days?"
Shelly shouted, "Grandma looks even better lately! I just went to visit her the day before yesterday!"
"What?" Jacqueline was surprised, "Could it be the new Mufron immune cell targeting drug that the
doctor finally prescribed? If that's the case, the old lady could live another year and a half. Damn, I was
told to prepare for the funeral and then the new drug took effect. The old woman is not going to die I
am afraid." Jacqueline muttered in a low voice, thinking to herself that this was not a good sign.
Geez, there was just not an end to the whole thing. How long did she have to stay up before she got on
the board!
Mother and daughter conversed for a long while before they remembered that they were not the only
two in the living room. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Charlotte was still around.
The two of them dared to discuss the matter of their own property inheritance and shares in front of an
outsider.
Jacqueline looked awkwardly at Charlotte, "Charlotte, we just actually…”
"Auntie, don't worry. I won't say anything." Charlotte immediately understood what she meant and
replied decently, "Besides, you will be my mother-in-law soon, and I will try my best to help you no
matter what happens."
