Contract Marriage With Mysterious President

Chapter 397 Who Is the CEO

Instead of taking what Hilary said as another provocation of hers, Amy was in bad mood and had taken

what Hilary said seriously.

'It seems true that I've been bringing bad luck to Richard ever since I'm with him. Am I the jinx that he

has been mentioning?'

"Just disregard what Hilary said, she's such a loose-tongued, speaks without thinking, she can't keep

anything to herself, come on, stand up," Addy said as she went to help Amy.

"Don't help her, Addy, she's such a mean woman that does not deserve our sympathy. Come on, let's

go!" Hilary urged Addy to go with her.

Silence filled the room once Hilary left. Amy stared blankly at Richard.

"Am I a jinx to you, Richard? Have you been suffering being with me and did I make you suffer?" Amy

mumbled as she rested her face on Richard's hand. His hand was not hot or cold, just slightly warm.

Amy's tears dripped onto Richard's palm, he was the only one who knew what she had been through,

yet, he could only lay sleeping on the bed now.

"Mrs. Carter, I need to bring Mr. Carter for a check-up, could you give me a hand?" A nurse came in,

today was the day for Richard's checkup.

"Sure." Amy went to the other side and was ready to move Richard's body to another bed with rollers.

"Let me do it." A tall figure appeared beside Amy and he carried Richard from his bed and put him

down slowly on another one.

A man was indeed stronger in strength, he managed to transfer him to another bed without messing

with the tubes, lines, ports, or catheters attached to Richard.

"Thank you." Amy glanced at Matt. They met each other quite frequently lately, and it was always

during times where she needed help that he appeared out of nowhere.

"It's nothing. I'm just dropping by to visit Mr. Carter since I have something to do nearby. This is nothing

worth mentioning, I shall go now and will drop by again later." Matt left once he finished transferring

Richard.

Amy on the other hand followed the nurse to Richard's checkup.

"All the results are normal and stable, Mr. Baker will have a meeting with medical professionals from Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

overseas tomorrow, discussing Mr. Carter's condition. They will discuss solutions that could wake him

up from the vegetative state." The doctor explained to Amy once the checkup was done.

"Oh, noted." The doctor's words lit up hope in Amy's heart.

As usual, Matt came on time, he appeared again the moment Amy and the nurse returned to the room

pushing Richard.

He then transferred Richard back to his bed, said a few comforting words to Amy, and left straight after

that.

Amy felt weird that Matt always appeared at times she needed help. She was also a little suspicious of

his sudden concerns towards Richard.

An internal conflict arose within HD Group where people began doubting Amy's ability to be the CEO.

She was a woman with a history of wrongdoing, they thought that she was not qualified to manage the

company and couldn't earn respect from the others.

Someone suggested summoning William back to be the decision-maker for HD Group, giving the

reason that he was a member of the Carter family and was qualified to be the CEO.

"I recommend William, he was the only true heir of the Carter now that Richard is sick. Richard was a

capable leader but he's sick and can't lead the HD Group now, we should let William take over his

place. You are a woman and your task as Richard's wife is to take good care of him." One of the

middle-aged members of the board stood up and suggested in front of the shareholders and board

members.

"Yeah, what can a woman do with such a huge corporation? Unlike a man, a woman lacks the ability to

lead the group." Another person agreed with what was said.

"I heard that she was the one that put Newell Group in trouble, we doubt her ability as the CEO!"

Someone added.

Amy sat leisurely in her seat, listening to the discussion as if she was not the person they were

discussing, she looked calm.

"But she performed well and contributed a lot to Newell Group's development too." A board member

who supported Amy defended her. The board meeting quickly turned into a debate.

Amy didn't defend herself and at this moment, William pushed open the door and entered the room

with a few HD Group's employees following behind.

"Hi Amy, we meet again. Bet you never thought of seeing me again in such a short time." William

smiled mockingly at Amy as he pushed his glasses up.

"Hi William, I've predicted our meeting, guess you are the one who is surprised." Amy said to William

sarcastically.

"Hahha, I have no time for such a debate. You must be upset now knowing that you will soon be

pushed down from the acting CEO position." William said as he walked into the room. His appearance

had created minor chaos in the room.

"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. I am William Carter, the true heir of the Carter and I have

returned." William introduced himself to the room, smiling.

"There is something I would like to say, please be quiet," William said as he waved at everyone in the

room.

The room became silent and were all ears of what William had to say. As the investors, they prioritize

profit gained.

"Good day everyone, I'm William Carter, I come back today for the sake of HD Group's future, though I

made a minor mistake before, I've learned from it and vow not to repeat it. I return today intending to

further develop the group and aim to make HD Group the leader of our industry." William gave his

emotional speech, even some of his saliva landed on the face of the person in front, but he didn't notice

as he was driven by William's speech.

"I guarantee a 2%-3% revenue increase by next year for each of you if I can be the CEO of HD Group

from now on." William made a promise to everyone.

"Awesome! Only the true heir of the Carter could make such a promise. I told you, didn't I?" Someone

spoke, trying to influence the others.

They started to believe after hearing William's words.

"I'm here to rescue HD Group. Please stay calm, though Richard is sick, I am here to replace him. I too

am capable of leading the company." A round of applause was heard once he finished his speech.
