Chapter 809 -812: The Big Gift for Rowena Gray (1)
Ever since she took over the company, rumors about her would occasionally circulate internally.
Rowena Gray knew that these rumors might well be spread by those who had worked under Lily Gray before.
Some said she was unqualified to inherit the Gray family business.
Others said she obtained decision-making power by engaging in unsavory methods and winning over the board of directors.
In any case, while these words could not deal her a crippling blow, their frequent presence was thoroughly annoying.
Rowena, not one to have a generous heart, decided after stewing for over a month that she would use the upcoming shareholders’ meeting to show everyone her “evidence”!
...
In her hands, she had a ‘share certificate’ prepared for her by Simon Taylor.
Besides that, there was Madam Gray’s will, which served as the best sharp weapon to slap back at her detractors!
With this in mind, Rowena Gray’s lips curled into a triumphant smile.
Approaching fifty, she was well-maintained, with a slender figure and meticulously elegant makeup.
Clad in a tailored suit and seven-inch high heels, followed by four assistants, she strode out of the elevator in all her glory.
“Mr. Gray, good morning!”
“Mr. Gray, hello—”
From the elevator to the conference hall where the shareholders’ meeting would be held, all along the way were middle and small shareholders and employees greeting her.
The smile at the corner of Rowena’s mouth deepened, her eyes full of unconcealable pride.
Now, the Gray family was hers, and in the company, everyone had to call her Mr. Gray.
Out of the Gray family, she was also Mrs. Taylor.
Attaching herself to Simon Taylor was the best move she ever made. Rowena’s eyes narrowed slightly, and even if given another chance, she would make the same decision.
She… did not regret it.
While reflecting on this, she had already reached the entrance to the conference hall.
Rowena Gray quickly put away the deep thoughts in her eyes, replacing them with a flawlessly perfect smile.
Ah, after today, she would not just be Mr. Gray anymore.
The Gray family was only her first step; with Simon Taylor paving her way, she intended to climb aboard the Lucas family’s grand ship.
…
“Mr. Gray, it’s about time. Shall we start?”
Sitting beside Rowena and considered part of her faction, Mr. Collins suggested.
The Gray family’s board of directors, not counting Rowena, consisted of seven other directors.
Among them, three directors—Mr. Collins, Mr. Sullivan, and Director Holbrook—were completely on Rowena’s side.
The other four maintained a neutral stance.
Or rather, they all implicitly regarded Director Hamilton as their leader, forming a small faction.
Rowena had yet to find a way to buy them over.
Hearing Mr. Collins’s suggestion, she deliberately turned to Director Hamilton and asked, “Director Hamilton, what do you think?”
Director Hamilton glanced in the direction of the door without a change in expression.
What’s going on?
This morning he had definitely received a text from Lena Hammond saying she would come, so why hadn’t she arrived yet?
Director Hamilton looked beside him. Seven shareholders, Rowena Gray, and a host were sitting on the stage.
Below the stage, nearly forty middle and small shareholders were waiting for the meeting to begin.
It was indeed about time, and he had intentionally delayed for a few minutes.
With so many people waiting, it wouldn’t be good to delay any longer.
“Alright, let’s start.”
Director Hamilton nodded, and Rowena Gray immediately showed delight.
However, before she could even notify the host, and before the still-open front door could be closed, a boisterous shout suddenly came from outside.

“Rowena Gray, is Rowena Gray there? Who here is called Rowena Gray? Come out, you’ve got a delivery, come out and sign for it!”
An unknown courier emerged, standing outside the door and bellowing loudly.
