Others wanted to oust Joanna as they followed the prevailing trend.
“The company can’t keep going like this. If it continues, the Haynes Group will go bankrupt!” Mr. Roger expressed
his
concern.
Mr. Paul sighed and chimed in, “Exactly. Miss Haynes is solely focused on custody battles for her child. How can she
find the mindset to manage the company?
“It’s been a few days since she last set foot in the company. Before that, it was a sporadic presence, coming and
going, with frequent trips to Mossbourne.
“And to make matters worse, she’s actually seeking out social media influencers to endorse our products! How can
we rely on influencers for our hard–earned international brand, the Haynes Group?
“Even though her company, Mossbourne, has no direct connection to the Haynes Group, she’s still the chairman.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPeople will associate her company with our brand.”
After Mr. Roger paused momentarily, he continued, “She’s been in office for over six months now. While the
company’s profits have seen a slight increase, the negative publicity she has generated is overwhelming!
“The chairman’s image directly impacts the company’s development and future prospects! My suggestion is for
Miss Haynes to step down voluntarily and minimize the losses in time!”
Mr. Paul quickly agreed, “Absolutely! The older generation has more experience. Mr. Haynes is more reliable in this
position!
“Mr. Haynes, you should hold the power!”
Derick heard this and grinned smugly, “Yes, you are right. Joanna is just a twentysomething girl. What does she
know? How could we trust her?
“Letting her lead the company is leading us down a dead–end path. How can our family not understand her
capabilities?”
Shaun felt a sense of relief upon hearing this.
It seemed that he would soon reclaim the position of chairman.
“Everyone is absolutely right! Joann is still young and doesn’t grasp the gravity of her actions. She can’t handle such
a heavy responsibility.
“Then it’s settled. We will now vote to remove her from the board!”
Just as they were discussing, the conference room door swung open with a click!
Joanna walked in, wearing a black suit, her expression devoid of any emotion.
The conference room fell into an immediate silence upon seeing Joanna’s arrival.
After a long while, Shaun gathered his courage and greeted, “Joann, you’re here.
“We were just about to summon you! Mr. Everett will join us later…”
Joanna Haynes furrowed her brow, emanating a cold and refined aura. She defied the image of helplessness that
others had projected onto her.
overheard the entire conversation among you,” Joanna stated calmly.
Mr. Roger scratched his head, feeling embarrassed. “Well, since you caught all of that, that works! We’re discussing

“And let’s just consider the deluge of negative press you’ve generated in the past six months. It has severely
tarnished the reputation of the Haynes Group.
“If this continues, Raymond’s life’s work will crumble into ruins.”
Joanna attentively listened without hastily refuting his statements.
Shaun sighed deeply, expressing heartfelt concern. “Joann, you’re still young and can’t shoulder such a heavy
burden.“
This weight is too much, and I can’t bear to witness you being crushed,” he added.
Joanna couldn’t help but sneer.
What a double–dealer! So hypocrite.
Her father was a total deceiver while intending to look nice and caring.
If he wanted to take back the chairman’s position, he could have just said so. There was no need to beat around the
bush.
“Shaun is right. Joann, the burden is too heavy. Let your father be the chairman. You should step down,” Mr. Roger
candidly suggested.
Joanna’s eyes regained their frigid glare, her expression returning to its emotionless
