Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 1161

Hearing Sophie's words, the room fell silent, everyone exchanging uneasy glances.

If it were anyone else, it might've been okay. But it was Odie.

They all remembered the Mintons' infamous dinner parties in Devonport. Many of them had attended, giving the Mintons plenty of dirt on them. If they offended the Mintons, and Odie decided to post those videos online... Well, they'd be utterly ruined. Bea let out a cold laugh, "Sophie, have you lost your mind? Odie's from Summerfield. How much influence can he really have? Besides, we at Burke International already decided that Elodie is our new CEO. Why are you stirring up trouble now?" "It's just a decision. If everyone agrees, it can still be changed, right?" Sophie scanned the room, but the shareholders avoided her gaze, hesitant to speak up.

Bea chuckled sarcastically, "Sophie, are you insane? We've already chosen Elodie. On what grounds can she be dismissed? Even if Odie holds forty-five percent of my grandson's shares, so what? Without over fifty percent, he can't remove the CEO of Burke International!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Why would Burke International's people listen to you?"

"Bea, don't dismiss it so quickly. Sure, Odie has forty-five percent, but we're also seeking the opinions of other shareholders. If they agree, then dismissing Ms. Elodie would be straightforward, wouldn't it?"

Mr. Snyder, visibly nervous, swallowed hard and, under Sophie's pressure, stammered, "A-agree... agree..."

Bea had weathered countless storms with the Burke family and these shareholders. She was confident Sophie couldn't turn any of them against her. But then, Sophie walked up to one of the shareholders and said, "Mr. Snyder, Odie wants to know, do you agree to dismiss Ms. Reeves or not?"

"Ridiculous!" Bea slammed the table, standing up abruptly, "Mr. Snyder, do you know what you're saying?"

"Bea, this..

She mighs. Reeves is young.

Odie

not be as capable as still think it's better to delay

her taking over."

"You!"

"Johns, what's your take?"

"I-I also think Ms. Reeves's appointment was rushed. Mr. Odie would be better suited to lead the company."

Sophie looked around at the other shareholders, "What about the rest of you?"

"It's better... for Mr. Odie to take charge of the company."

"Yeah, Ms. Reeves is young and inexperienced. She might not be up to the task."

The shareholders' voices grew louder, leaving Bea furious and. Wildered, "You all! Do you e w what you're saying belongs to Narugi

What had Sophie done to sway them all?

"Bea, you heard them. Everyone thinks Ms. Reeves is too young to be CEO of Burke International."

Sophie turned to Elodie with a smile, "Mr. Odie isn heartless. Ms. Reeves has indeed worked hard these past few days Since Burke International has already acquired Reeves Entertainment, it would be fitting for Ms Reeves to stay on as a manager."

Elodie, clutching the fake agreement, glared at Sophie, "Ms. Sophie, you've certainly played a clever game."
