Jay Zhao's face paled as soon as he saw the file and everything listed there. He looked up and saw everyone staring at him with anger. He shook his head and stuttered weakly, "T……this is all Fa……false. I didn't do anything. She is trying to trap me and prove herself innocent! Don't fall for her tricks…"
He was totally shocked when he saw the file and now when everyone started staring at him with anger he tried to shun away the blame but no one seemed to believe him.
Kyle smirked sitting on his seat and couldn't help but admire the way Lana played this game. He knew she would never be unprepared.
'You underestimated her again Kyle…' He bashed himself in his heart.
'The woman you always thought of as weak and someone who needed your support, was never weak but was actually very resourceful. She called you that time because of your non-alignment with all her network, not because you were the one and the only resource she could think of for her work.'
A pang of jealousy for Liam filled his heart and his heart was also gripped with fear.
'What would happen when she comes to know about…'
His train of thoughts were broken when he heard that mesmerizing voice his ears loved the most.
Lana looked at Jay Zhao and said, "What is not right here, Uncle? Do you want to say that the agreement between you and the owner of 'Nature care' is false here?
Or do you want to tell me that you have not bought a huge share in that company and that the profits from that company are filling your pockets? Did you not make an agreement with your partner to bring down the sales of this company to a minimum and give the highest market share to them?
Can you also deny the fact that you had agreed to sell him the Zhao group's formulas of our registered cosmetics which helped our company gain a strong foothold in this industry? Did you forget that the formula has remained the Zhao family's secret before you decided to sell it?!?"
Lana's voice was sharp, loud, and clear. As she was talking, she slowly walked towards him and reached Jay Zhao who was sitting on his chair. He looked at her furious face and his already pale face further lost its color and was filled with fear seeing how angry Lana was.
Lana kept one hand on the table and bent a little to see Jay Zhao in his eyes. She looked so enraged that even his soul whimpered seeing the red eyes of Lana.
She could not control the tsunami of anger she felt inside her and gritted her teeth as her hoarse and cold voice sounded like she was the devil herself.
"Mr. Jay Zhao, my mother founded this company along with my father and after my father's death, she single-handedly took it to the height of success.
How dare you play tricks and mess with my mother's legacy? Who gave you the guts? You dared to shake hands with the rival company and sell out our top-secret information to him.
Not only this, you even started planning everything as soon as after my mother died. You appointed that corrupt man as the head of sales to make everything look like it was his mistake and not your immoral deal!
Did you really think I was dead?! What made you forget the way I dealt with the traitors who worked against my mother in the company?"
Lana then stood up and gave a last disdainful look to him before retreating back to her seat.
She picked up her phone and called someone giving a few instructions to the person on the call.
Jay Zhao sat with a bewildered look on his face.?All the other board members were shocked to their core when they came to know how they were getting carried away by his words and blamed Lana for everything.
Kyle on the other hand turned a little serious after everything unfolded.?Without wasting any more time he stood up and said, "Gentlemen, and madam CEO, may I now request to eliminate the name of Mr. Jay Zhao from the list of to be voted people for the new CEO and instead add another name in his place."
Everyone nodded to his proposal and as they started discussing whose name to be put forth when Kyle's firm and loud voice resounded in the meeting hall,
"I hereby propose Ms. Huang's name for the CEO, as she has already shown how capable and worthy she is to lead this company. Moreover, it is very evident how much this company means to her."
He clearly supported Lana contrary to how he was trying to put her in a fix before. Even Lana was shocked to hear these words from Kyle. She looked up and saw him smile gently at her.
His attitude confused her and before she could rack her brain and think more about this, she received a message from him on her phone.
[Lana I will explain everything to you later. Just let this board meeting be over first.]
Lana looked at him and with pursed lips as he just nodded at her. Lana replied to him with a small nod and then looked at Loli before giving her a few instructions. Loli immediately rushed outside and left the meeting room.
Amidst all the chaos of people weighing down the pros and cons of removing Lana from the post of CEO, everyone cast their votes and soon the counting of votes was also finished.
Almost everyone had voted for Lana except three people and Jay Zhao was not even allowed to cast his vote.
Jay Zhao sat there with bulging veins on his forehead and hands folded in a fist. Everything he had planned to take over this company was first looked down on and ruined by Mrs. Ana Huang and now Lana had made him suffer infinite humiliation in the eyes of everyone. He could not take this insult sitting down like this.
He growled loudly and stood up while shouting at Lana, "Lana, how dare you try to sabotage me like this? I will not spare you. You will regret driving me to the edge in such a way and I will soon come back to take my revenge on you.
Who do you think you are to own this company?! You are nothing but an orphan who was adopted by Ana. None of this should be yours. You don't deserve a single penny from the company! I am the rightful heir to this company as I have the Zhao blood running in my veins. I am a Zhao who should be the sole owner of the Zhao group! You are nothing… nothing……"
Lana simply stood there as she kept watching him shout loudly and curse at her. As he was shouting, the door of the room opened and Loli came in. Following her were a team of policemen. Loli led them to Jay Zhao and the officer showed him an arrest warrant.
"You are under arrest Mr. Jay Zhao for selling classified information of the company to the rivals and committing corporate fraud."
