“Anyone else?” Skylar asked.
After much hesitation, the majority of the shareholders finally stood up.
“Ms. Lambert, if you continue with the real estate business and let Mr. Stone lead the group, we won’t have any objections.
“But if you insist on turning the business into an entertainment company, we’ll have to withdraw our support,” a shareholder said.
“That’s right, Ms. Lambert. The entertainment circle is a complicated mess. Making it in there isn’t easy at all,” another shareholder said.
“Although this amount of money may not mean much to us, no one wants to lose money,” another shareholder echoed.
Skylar was unfazed. Even if these shareholders withdrew their investments, it would not affect her in the slightest. “If you don’t trust me and opt out, by all means, withdraw your investments,” she said.
The crowd burst into an uproar, and the remaining shareholders who wanted to stay could no longer contain their unease.
“Ms. Lambert, you need to think this through. With so many people backing out, it isn’t a minor issue. You can’t let emotions cloud your judgment,” a shareholder advised.
Skylar remained perfectly composed. “Since you’ve decided to stay, you should trust me,” she said.
“Even with so many investors pulling out, it won’t impact the company. Business will continue as usual,” she said.
The remaining shareholders were hesitating. As seasoned veterans with decades in business and hundreds of investments under their belts, they had never met anyone as audacious as Skylar.
Investing shared similarities with the stock market, high risk often led to high returns. The real estate market was challenging at that point. If the company could successfully adapt, it would yield positive outcomes.
If Skylar could truly build the company into what she envisioned, the share dividends would be nothing less than previously. It could even be higher than what they used to get from the real estate business.
The seated shareholders exchanged glances among themselves. One of the shareholders stood up and spoke up, “Ms. Lambert, we trust you. Just don’t
let us down.”
The shareholders who had stood up and were watching from the sidelines thought these shareholders had lost their minds.
One of them scoffed, “You actually trust her? You’ll have nowhere to complain when you lose everything!”
“You guys are fools! You won’t give up until you hit rock bottom,” one of them sneered.
“Don’t be bothered by them. Let them do what they want. They won’t change their minds,” a shareholder said.
Skylar ignored their protests and turned to her assistants and instructed, “Bring the lawyers to verify these shareholders‘ equity stakes. Draft the stock purchase agreements–payment upon signed transfer.”
‘The timing is perfect. I planned to acquire more shares and didn’t expect the opportunity to arise so soon, Skylar thought.
David snapped, “Do you think you can buy our shares without asking for our opinions?” He had stirred up trouble today to prevent Skylar fr proceeding with the entertainment company plan.
The company might have changed beyond recognition and was no longer the one he built with his own hands, but he had not thought about leaving and still hoped to win it back.
“I asked just now if you wanted to stay or leave. Since you’ve chosen to leave, you’ll naturally surrender your shares and take the money. Did I

misunderstand anything?” Skylar asked.
“You.” David was speechless. Skylar had a point, and for a minment, David was at a fost for words.
Skylar scoffed and waved her hand dismissively. “Since you guys are no longer shareholders of Nova Entertainininnt Productions, you are wa Nige remain in this boardroom. Please leave immediately,” she said.
The shareholders scoffed and said, “Do you think we want to stay?”
“You’re so selfish! I can’t wait for the day you fall apart in tears after failing,” one of the shareholders snared and said
“You’re never going to manage a company well. I’m saying it now; I’ll be waiting to watch you make a fool of yourself another departing Wareholder said indignantly.
