Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 322 Congratulations to Marigold on Her Full Retirement

The executives at Nexus Innovations had been waiting for this meeting for a long time, and it was finally being held, chaired by Marigold.

As the interim director, Cormac was seated in the first position on the side, next to Marigold, who was at the head of the table. As the meeting began, Marigold spoke, "Everyone should be aware of Alaric's situation. Alaric's on medical leave, so he won't be in to supervise operations at the company.

However, the company cannot go a day without a leader, and it is clear that I am the most suitable person to take charge.

Alaric took over Nexus Innovations from me, and I am very familiar with the company's situation. I also have the capability to handle the position of acting director well." Following Marigold's speech, a solemn silence enveloped the conference room. After a while, Marigold continued, "As the acting director, my first decision is to fire someone." Then, she looked directly at Cormac and said, "I watched Cormac grow up, so naturally, I have feelings for him. However, we need to keep business and personal life separate. Everyone knows that Cormac was a doctor before and knows nothing about managing a company. As the leader of a company, it is crucial to its development.

How can we let an unprofessional person take charge? So, I have decided to officially relieve Cormac of his duties as acting director, effective immediately, and take over myself." Just as Marigold finished speaking, the conference room door suddenly opened.

"Marigold, why wasn't I informed about such an important high-level meeting?" Stellan walked in, dressed in a sharp professional outfit and wearing 4-inch heels, looking very different from usual.

"Sorry, everyone, I'm late," Stellan said, giving Silas a look. Silas quickly added a seat next to Marigold, and Stellan sat down.

Seeing Stellan's demeanor and recalling her previous words, Marigold felt a bit uneasy. However, she concealed her true emotions.

"Stellan, this is a board meeting, and you are not part of the company. What are you doing here?" Marigold said with great disdain. "Don't disrupt our meeting. Leave immediately."

Stellan ignored her and remained seated. Marigold directly ordered Silas, "What are you waiting for? Get her out of here!"

Silas lowered his head and stepped aside, not following Marigold's orders. Seeing this, Marigold was furious and slammed the table. "This is outrageous! Silas, don't you understand what I'm saying? If you can't handle such a small task, you'll be fired!"

Stellan said, "Silas is Alaric's assistant. Now that Alaric is recuperating and I am the acting director, Silas is my assistant. Whether my assistant should be dismissed is up to me, not you."

"What? You are the acting director?" Marigold laughed. "Stellan, do you think managing a company is a game? You only know how to hold a scalpel and argue with patients' families. What the hell do you know about managing a company?" Marigold scolded in her anger.

Stellan calmly retorted, "Before the Storm Family incident, I was the heir to the Storm Family. In terms of theory, I have the highest degree in management. In terms of practice, I have managed the company alongside my father before, so I am not unfamiliar with this field.

Moreover, putting all that aside, just look at Nexus Innovations today. Under Alaric's management, the achievements are evident to everyone. So, questioning Cormac is the same as doubting Alaric's judgment. Before Alaric left the company, he issued a written document appointing Cormac as the acting director, which the entire group has seen. This is indisputable.

As for why Alaric chose Cormac over you, Marigold, the first reason is your age. While you have previously managed the company, times have changed, and your conservative ideas can no longer keep up with the times. Another reason is your health. Everyone knows you have a heart condition. The business world is like a battlefield; it requires a sharp mind and a healthy body. So, it's better to leave this intense business world to us younger folks." "Stellan, you are trying to maliciously seize Nexus Innovations; you are taking advantage of Alaric's poor health to take over the company!" Marigold shouted.

Stellan argued, "Marigold, what you said is unreasonable. As long as we are legally married, both the family assets and the company are joint property.

With Alaric recuperating, I have the right and duty to manage the company on his behalf. If you still think this is not convincing, we can follow the company's regulations.

Alaric previously issued a written document appointing Cormac, so now it is up to Cormac. Cormac has now appointed me as the company's director, and this process is reasonable and legitimate."

"You're stretching the truth and bullying your way through; that's utterly disrespectful!" Marigold said angrily.

"If you are not convinced, let's use a democratic voting method," Stellan said. "Let the executives vote. Whoever gets more votes will be the acting director. You shouldn't have any objections to that, right?" "Fine, let's have a democratic vote!" Marigold said.

Marigold was confident about the democratic vote, as she had previously been the director of Nexus Innovations. So she thought it reasonable for her to return.

"Alright, let's start the democratic vote now," Cormac said. "Those in favor of Mrs. Knight returning to take charge, please raise your hand."

Hearing this, Marigold was very nervous and expectant. But after a few seconds, her expression changed completely because everyone started looking at each other and whispering, but no one raised their hand. Just as Marigold was about to say something, Cormac immediately said, "Those in favor of Stellan as the acting director, please raise your hand."

After Cormac finished speaking, he was the first to raise his hand to vote, followed by the other executives.

Cormac had been busy convincing these executives over the past few days.

Marigold was truly shocked.

These executives were experienced in the business world. The company belonged to the Knight Family, and now that there was an internal power struggle within the Knight Family, they were just choosing sides. Everyone in the company knew that Stellan was Alaric's partner. Most importantly, Marigold was old. To put it bluntly, she had not many more years to live.

Moreover, during Marigold's previous management of the company, her strong and forceful methods had caused much dissatisfaction.

"Congratulations, Marigold. You can now retire completely and go home to take care of your health," Stellan said with a smile.
