Success
Thompson was impressed by Carla's actions.
At the same time, Jamal finally understood what she was getting at.
"Of course, I need to answer Kallum's questions." Carla's voice was gentle now.
"First, I'd like to clarify that I'm just the acting president of Giblo Group. When Zayn returns or the company's operation resumes to normal, I'll leave without taking a cent, " she revealed.
The board members relaxed visibly at her words.
"Second, when I'm in charge, Giblo Group will never merge with another company. There's no way it will be taken over by someone else, for example, my brother Daemon Lierger!"
The shareholders exhaled in relief, for that was what they were worried about.
Daemon was famous for his ruthless actions, so they were afraid he'd take the opportunity of Carla's position to take Giblo Group away from them.
"Third, when I'm in charge of Giblo Group, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Domitos will have to give their stamps of approval before I am to make any important decisions. Thus, you don't have to worry that I'm incapable or being reckless."
There was no mistaking the delight on the board members' faces.
"Note them down, Mr. Williams. Prepare an agreement, and the rest shall be our witnesses!" Carla ordered.
"Got it, Mrs. Giblo, " answered Rodney with a nod.
"Anything else to object?" Carla turned to face the rest of the board members. "If you do, state it now. We can discuss it together!"
"That's it, " someone answered. "I think this is good enough."
"I have something to say." Right then, Jamal spoke up. "Everyone, you may not know Mrs. Giblo well, but I have witnessed how she got together with Mr. Giblo until now. I trust her character. Though Giblo Group is facing a slight problem, Mr. Lierger left a lot of money to her before his accident. She is operating a lucrative business, so there's no need for her to take over Giblo Group's mess. She could've lived a great life with her children. But why did she take the risk of taking over this hot potato? Part of it is for her children, but mostly it's because she loves Mr. Giblo. Mr. Giblo left the entire family and company in her hands, so we need to trust his decision. We have to help Mrs. Giblo, just as we helped him to develop Giblo Group!"
"That's right!" Thompson nodded. "Even if you have no trust in an outsider, you trust me, right? I've been working for Mr. Jombo Giblo since I was nine, and it has been eighty years since. I don't have any private assets or pursuits as I only hope to protect the Giblo family. Now, I'm sitting here because Mr. Jombo told me to take care of Mr. Zayn before he died, and Mr. Zayn told me to protect his wife, just as how I
protected Mr. Jombo. I believe Mrs. Giblo will lead Giblo Group well. Remember, many outsiders are targeting us, so we can't have an internal conflict!" His tone was sincere.
"You're right. We'll do our best to be of help, " the board members immediately offered.
They were Jombo's men who trusted Thompson greatly.
Carla's words had convinced them, so they had no reason to disagree with Thompson.
Divine Corporation's employees were already on Carla's side. The ones from other regions promptly agreed to support her after hearing the headquarter's stance.
Though Kallum was indignant, he couldn't keep arguing, for that would only serve to increase the others' suspicion. He had no choice but to agree to stay in his position and do his job well.
