You Are My Mr Right

Freya cleared her throat. “Well, the cemetery next to Leo Stone’s grave, I bought it.”

She did it back then to prevent Yolanda Steele.

It wasn’t about preserving the position of a legitimate wife for her mother.

After all, Elowen had already let go. And she hoped her mother would live a long life, so there was no need to prepare a grave so early. She bought it because she didn’t want Yolanda Steele to occupy that spot someday.

Zane didn’t immediately grasp the situation. It seemed like he was digesting this information in his mind. After a while, he finally reacted, “You did it for your mother?”

Freya replied, “Sort of.”

Zane sighed, realizing he was a step behind. It seemed he wasn’t clever enough to think ahead like Freya. He only thought about it after Yolanda Steele died.

“Freya, you’re the smart one. It was right for Dad to hand over the company to you,” he said.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

At that moment, he didn’t feel any jealousy. He truly admired Freya’s thoughtfulness. When the company encountered problems before, it was Freya who paid attention. It had to be admitted that their father had foresight. Leo had never divorced Elowen, which meant he had feelings for her. Another reason was probably because he recognized Freya as his daughter.

Freya said, “Now the company is yours. You have to get back on track quickly and manage the company. Mom always hoped you could inherit the family’s wealth. Properties and money are stagnant, but if you run the company well, it can create greater profits. I think Mom also wants you to succeed. For her peace of mind, you must pull yourself together.”

She was indirectly encouraging Zane.

Zane nodded vigorously. “Okay.”

Deep down, he always knew that Yolanda Steele wanted him to take charge of the Stone family. Freya was right, the company was the lifeblood of the Stone family. It had the potential to create value. Now it was in his hands, and Yolanda Steele could rest in peace, knowing that.

“Thank you, Freya.” Zane said. If he didn’t have control over the company now, he wouldn’t be able to take charge of the Stone family’s lifeline.

Freya replied, “We’re family, no need to be so polite.”

…

Headence Group.

Today, the shareholders’ meeting was led by Arwen Silverton to kick off. Of course, Jack Silverton had to be the face of it because Arwen didn’t have the authority. Today was clearly different from last time. None of the shareholders actively spoke up for Elijah this time.

And there was an additional person, Thorne Silverton.

Without Elijah’s interference, Thorne was brought forward. And now he appeared at the shareholders’ meeting.

Jack slammed a document on the table. “Everyone, take a look.”

He had Thorne make copies of the document and distribute them to each shareholder. After reading its contents, everyone was furious, blaming Elijah. “Elijah, we trusted you so much, how could you harm our interests like this?”

A shareholder chimed in, “That’s right, last time I stood by your side, spoke up for you.”

“The losses are significant, tens of billions, and yet you kept it so well hidden. What do you take us shareholders for?” someone angrily accused.

“Elijah, you must give all shareholders an explanation for this incident!”

Thorne smirked, his lips curling with satisfaction. “Elijah, you didn’t anticipate this, did you? Were you surprised that you could deceive everyone?”

Jack went even further, “I want to remove Elijah from the position of CEO. Any objections?”

This time, the shareholders below fell silent.

Unlike last time, no one actively spoke up for Elijah. Ultimately, their interests came first. Now that their interests had been harmed, they naturally didn’t want Elijah to continue as CEO. Additionally, Arwen had approached them privately, promising higher dividends if they allowed Thorne to take on the position of CEO.

Before, Thorne was detained and couldn’t come out, so Colton had to step in. But now that Thorne was free, Arwen immediately pushes her son to take the position.

Although her husband was also easily swayed by her, Arwen could only rest assured if her son held the power. So Arwen forcefully promotes her son, and with her persuasive words in front of Jack, Thorne’s appearance today became inevitable.

“And what about you, Elijah? Do you have anything to defend yourself?” Jack holds him by the handle, speaking with a tough tone.

Elijah deliberately shows a look of difficulty, unwillingness, and disbelief. As if he had no idea about today’s events at all. In front of everyone, he scolded Xander, “How did you let this happen? How did such a document leak out?”

“Mr Silverton, I’m sorry. I don’t know how the document got lost.”

“Enough! Now is not the time for you to reprimand your subordinates for their incompetence. When you try to hide something, it will be uncovered on its own.”

Thorne Silverton coldly snorts, “I always thought you were so capable, so unbeatable. Turns out, you’re just like everyone else.”

Xander, looking dissatisfied, argues with him, “What are you talking about? Who doesn’t make mistakes sometimes? Over these years, Mr Silverton has created so much value for the company. Who are you to say such things? What qualifications do you have?”

“He has indeed created a lot of value, but the fact remains that he caused the company to lose billions. Such a person is no longer suitable for the position of CEO. His decisions no longer inspire complete confidence.”

“That’s right. As members of the Silverton family, I believe Thorne has more potential to lead the future development of Headence Group.” A shareholder who was bribed by Arwen immediately spoke up for Thorne.

“I have been leading the group for so many years, achieving numerous remarkable accomplishments for the company…”

“That’s all in the past. Let’s not bring it up.” Someone directly interrupts Elijah’s words.

If this were in the past, no one would dare to speak to Elijah like this. At this moment, everyone knew that the Silverton family wanted to overthrow him, which was why they dare to be so bold.

This was exactly the effect Elijah wanted. He was powerless to change the current situation and said dejectedly, “In that case, I will resign from the position of CEO.”

As he spoke, he had already stood up and said to Xander, “Clean up all my things today.”

Xander said yes, glancing at the shareholders in the meeting room. He coldly snorted in his heart.

He thought these people were heartless – Elijah had brought them so much profit in these years. However, they turned their backs on him without a second thought.

Elijah didn’t go back to his office. He stood at the elevator door, ready to go downstairs, while Xander went to his office to “pretend” to pack up his things. In reality, he had already moved the important stuff away. All was just for show.

“Mr Silverton,” the secretary approached.

“Go find Xander, he will tell you.”

The secretary lowered her head and replied, “Yes.”

Just then, the elevator dings and stops. Elijah steps in.

The elevator doors closed, and the secretary finally dared to look up. Unfortunately, she could no longer see him. She continued to stare at the elevator doors for a long time.

Elijah returned to the hospital.

Freya was leaning against the sofa. Hearing the movement, she immediately stood up and walked towards him, asking, “Did everything go smoothly for you?”

Elijah softly replied, “Mhm.”

Freya unbuttoned his coat and said, “I need to take a look at your injuries.”

His wounds made it difficult to put on clothes as they would rub against the wounds, hindering the healing process. As she took off his clothes, Freya saw his wounds. Indeed, the clothes covered them and caused friction, and the wounds were swollen and red. Having seen Elijah’s injuries before, they were still shocking to her, and she felt a deep sense of distress.

Freya was careful, wanting to touch but also afraid to touch. She mocked herself internally, reminding herself that she was a doctor, someone who wielded a scalpel. How could she be this hesitant? Compared to the scenes in the operating room, this was nothing in terms of bloodiness. Perhaps it was because he was someone she cared about that she felt this way.

As a doctor, they generally avoided performing surgeries on their loved ones. They would have their colleagues do it instead, fearing that nervousness and stage fright would lead to surgical errors.

“Lie down.” Said she.

Elijah lay down on the bed, facing down, as his injury was on his back. This position made it easier for Freya to clean the wound.

Freya took a deep breath and quickly adjusted her mindset. As a doctor, she was able to adjust her emotions quickly. The medicine was ready, and she started cleaning his wound. As she cleaned the wound, she told him about what happened today. Thinking about the reporter she encountered, Liora Valentine suddenly came to her mind.

Yes, that reporter looked a bit like Liora Valentine!

“Could it be her?” she murmured.

Elijah didn’t hear her clearly and asked, “What did you say?”
