The Day Silence Spoke novel Chapter 278

"So you started without me, didn't you?" Clifford said calmly. "Then please, continue. Where were we? The vote? In that case, as a shareholder, my vote should count as well, shouldn't it?"

Wallace retorted, "Didn't you resign? We are currently holding a meeting to elect a new CEO. Since you're here, you might as well give your farewell speech."

His words were a clear declaration of the outcome.

"Besides, the vote is already over. Even with your vote, the result is seven to six."

Clifford was silent for a moment, then let out a soft laugh.

Everyone thought he had gone mad, to be able to laugh at a time like this.

Clifford raised a hand and gestured to Ziven behind him. Understanding immediately, Ziven brought over a file.

Clifford tossed the file onto the table. "In that case, I suppose it's time I exercised my own power. According to the bylaws, a shareholder with over 34% possesses veto power. Apologies, but I happen to hold exactly 35%. Therefore, I declare your vote invalid."

The statement made several people, especially Wallace, jump to their feet.

"You… how is that possible?" Wallace snatched the file, his eyes scanning it in disbelief.
