Love Strategy: CEO He is Really Scheming!
Chapter 1038: Scheming
"Niece Grant, with Old Grant’s passing, logically, you should take over the Grant Clan, as you hold significant shares. However, considering your lack of experience due to your youth, for the future of our company, I propose a reelection for the head of the Grant Clan! Let’s elect a new CEO!"
Pete Flores’s voice boomed across the meeting room.
The major shareholders in the meeting room started murmuring, all in agreement that it’s time to decide on a new CEO for the Grant Corporation, to lead the Grant Clan back to its peak!
Daisy Grant listened to the murmuring, a cold smile forming in her heart.
She knew her father’s old friend, Pete Flores, would attempt to seize control of the Grant Clan! She just didn’t expect that right after transferring five percent of shares to Aidan Sutherland, Pete would concoct a board meeting to depose her.
Diego Campbell’s face darkened, about to speak, when Daisy signaled him.
Diego stepped back to his position, not daring to say a word.
Daisy Grant calmly pulled out a chair beside Pete Flores and sat down, glancing at the board members with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
"Since you intend to hold a board meeting to elect a new CEO of the Grant Clan, how can you not invite all the shareholders with Grant shares? Uncle Flores, this action was improper. Diego, in my name, notify all the Grant shareholders to convene the largest shareholders meeting in five years! At the shareholders meeting, we’ll decide the leader of the Grant Clan!" Daisy Grant’s gaze swept over Pete Flores as she asked calmly, "Uncle Flores, what do you think? Is my proposal satisfactory?"
Pete Flores looked at Daisy Grant, contemplated for a while, then nodded.
Daisy Grant was the first to push back her chair and stand up, glancing around the meeting room. "Diego, have the cleaning staff tidy up this room! In three days, the highest-level shareholders meeting of the Grant Clan is to be convened here! Oh, and make sure the chairs are thoroughly cleaned; we don’t want any dirt on them!"
Daisy Grant strode out of the meeting room with her back straight and proud, her high heels clicking.
Diego Campbell stifled a laugh and replied, "Understood, President Grant!"
The two of them exited the meeting room.
Pete Flores was left visibly displeased by Daisy Grant’s veiled criticism. The other shareholders cast glances at Pete, feeling the awkwardness, and quickly found excuses to leave together.
Pete Flores remained in the meeting room alone, making a phone call.
"Didn’t you say she had transferred five percent of her shares to you?! Then why does she have such confidence to call a board meeting!.... You should know, if I fail to secure the reins of the Grant board this time, what my future in the Grant Clan will look like! Daisy Grant will be wary of me!"
Pete Flores shouted into the phone, and when a voice responded on the other end, his face darkened, speaking coldly, "I hope that’s the case! Otherwise, I’m done for!"

Daisy Grant returned to her office. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Diego Campbell closed the office door, unable to suppress his worries. "Miss Grant, as soon as you transferred five percent of your shares to Aidan Sutherland, the Vice President turned around and called a board meeting to seize your position. It seems more than a coincidence."
Daisy Grant responded with a hum while tending to her tasks, providing no further commentary.
Observing Daisy’s calm demeanor, Diego felt anxious for her. "Miss Grant, what are we going to do about the board meeting in three days? If Aidan Sutherland and Vice President Flores are colluding, and Aidan gives your five percent to the Vice President, you’ll end up with equal shares. He could then be on equal footing with you! He might even seize control of the Grant Clan at the shareholders meeting!"
