“Ease up? Me?” Dexter scoffed loudly, “I think she’s the one disrespecting the board!”
Just then, the secretary opened the door to reveal Hannah. She shot Dexter an icy look, saying, “If you don’t want to be in this meeting, feel free to leave.”
Dexter retorted icily, “I have shares in White Group too, you know.
It’s not your place to tell me to leave!”
Hannah settled into the head chair and calmly responded, “Let’s be clear, Mr. Schneider. I own over 20% of this company. If I want you off the board, who’s going to stop me?”
She fixed him with a steely gaze.
“You’re challenging me in my own company. Why not take your shares and wait at home for the dividends?”
Her eyes narrowed menacingly.
“I’d prefer you not to stir tensions among the shareholders.”
Sitting off to the side, Dexter wore an expression of stunned silence.
Another shareholder stepped in, attempting to smooth things over.
“Look, we’re all here for the company’s benefit. Mr. Schneider just has a direct way about him. No offense, Miss Moore.”
Jalen chimed in, “Our last project’s success was largely due to Hannah. Mr. Schneider, your people almost compromised our files.
We’re letting that slide.”

Face flushed, Dexter snapped, “What are you insinuating? You have no proof. Don’t tarnish my reputation!”
Ignoring him, Hannah addressed the rest of the room.
“We’re looking to secure additional funds for expansion. What do you think of it?”
“I strongly disagree! What right do you have to propose this?” Dexter was quick to challenge her.
“Byrum never talked about raising capital when he led the company. Why should we dilute our ownership?”
Unfazed, Hannah continued, “The Mitchell Group in Valmere is interested in collaborating with us.”
The room erupted in surprised chatter.
“The Mitchell Group in Valmere? They’re expanding their business to Hoijery too? So they’re in talks with the White Group!”
“Miss Moore, you’re amazing. You’re actually in touch with the Mitchell Group.”
“Unbelievable! The Mitchell Group are known for never investing in other companies!”
