Chapter 247
“So this is why they’re backing Gabriel?” Abigail slammed the contract onto the table
“Exactly Ever when your grandfather was alive, those old men on the board never wanted you in. They only grudgingly agreed after he secured several major projects. But now that those ventures are losing money, of course they can’t stand you anymore,” Warren said.
Abigail’s gaze turned icy. She didn’t say a word for a long moment, her grip tightening around the fountain pen in her hand.
Sebastian said to her, “I bet they don’t want Gabriel in jail. They’re hoping he comes back and keeps his grip on Gibson Group.”
“Him?” Abigail scoffed in disbelief
“You showed up out of nowhere,” Sebastian said casually. “And you’re aligned with Ran. They can’t control you, and that scares them.”
Abigail’s gaze sharpened, her voice out how to run this company,

Abigail didn’t bother being nich either, “Let’s be real, Mr. Monroe. You just don’t want me as the CEO of Gibson Group. Fine, I’ll step down and even return my shares to you all. But Ren’s initial investment needs to be pooled together and wired back to him today.”
Abigail thought, ‘If it weren’t for Wyatt, no one would even care about this stupid company. They thought they could use the group’s mess to pressure me? They clearly picked the wrong person to mess willL‘
Just as Eli was about to speak again, the other shareholders shot him warning glances.
Abigail stood her ground. “Since everyone’s here, I’ve got something to say too. Aside from Ren’s capital, and factoring out the losses from my grandfather’s projects, the company has 230 million dollars of debt.
“Every one of you who’s taken dividends over the years is responsible for part of it.”
Abigail paused briefly, then smirked. “After discussing with Ren and exercising my authority as the biggest shareholder, I’ve decided to implement dividend cuts starting today until the 230–million–dollar debt is fully repaid.”
“What the hell do you mean?!” A shareholder sprang to his feet, demanding angrily.
Abigail leaned back in her chair, calm and unbothered. “It means your dividends are going toward debt repayment. It’s not that hard to understand. right? Given how serious Gabriel, Stephen, and Bianca’s roles were, they’ll cover 100 million dollars of it
“The remaining amount is on the ten of you. Payouts will be docked according to how many shares you hold. And just to be clear, Ren and I are exempted
from this.”
