Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 571

Chapter 571: A Disgrace Hated by All

"I really don’t know what the Reid Family sees in him. He’s nothing compared to Mr. Reid!"

"Just look at what he’s done. He can’t do this, he can’t do that. Handing Reid Family Group over to him has already cost who knows how much in market value. A corporation as huge as Reid Family Group, ruined in his hands—what a jinx!" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Forget it, forget it. Even if Reid Family Group collapses, we can still go work somewhere else..."

"True. The ones who should really be worried are the shareholders."

...

Owen’s face darkened, his eyes burning as he glared at the employees before striding straight into the conference room.

The shareholders were already in session. When they saw Owen and Amelia walk in, their expressions turned strange, even ugly.

Owen pretended not to notice. He firmly believed he was destined, fortune’s favored child. As long as he spoke, the people would follow. So he declared:

"I know the company’s been busy these past few days, so I came to see if there’s anything I can help with."

But a shareholder only snorted. "Help? It would be enough if you didn’t make things worse. There’s nothing here for you to help with."

Owen’s face stiffened, but he quickly said, "Uncle Wilson, that’s not fair. Since I’ll be taking over the company in the future, of course I need to watch and learn more..."

At those words, the room’s atmosphere shifted again.

Owen’s reputation was in shambles—practically everyone wanted him gone. And even if everyone knew Logan had set him up, wasn’t it still Owen’s own stupidity that had him walking right into the trap?

After all that, instead of reflecting on himself, he still dreamed of taking over the company...!

The thought of Owen one day becoming chairman of Reid Family Group, with them all forced to obey this fool, made every shareholder sick to their stomach.

Daniel clenched his teeth. The board had just been urging him to abandon Owen and reconcile with Logan.

Reid Group was thriving. Mr. Reid’s name was known everywhere. The perfume competition had only raised Logan’s prestige further—and on top of that, his wife was the chairwoman of SL.

With a son like that, why waste time propping up Owen? That wasn’t just throwing away a watermelon for a sesame seed—it was missing even the sesame seed.

Daniel, of course, didn’t want to give up on Owen. To him, Logan was never even an option...

But with the Reid Family teetering on the brink, could they really afford to keep opposing Logan?

And with Owen’s reputation so rotten, facing opposition from all sides, what if they really made him inherit? What if the shareholders and employees staged a collective strike?

"Dad, really—there’s nothing in the company I can help with?" Owen pressed.

Amelia chimed in, "Daniel, Owen’s been learning a lot recently. He can definitely help. Didn’t you have your eye on that overseas shipping project..."

The executives’ faces tightened, brows furrowed.

One shareholder spoke bluntly. "Mrs. Perry, Young Master Owen—the overseas project requires strong knowledge reserves. Does he know the shipping rates across different countries? The regulations? What exactly we’d be transporting?"
