“The minority follows the majority?”
After hearing Jonas’s words, everyone was stunned.
Connor also wore a look of disbelief because he did not expect the will of the chairman to include such a provision.
Yannick, on the other hand, wore a sly smile and said, “I think Mr. Jonas’s proposal is good. Since everyone has different opinions, let’s vote. The minority will obey the majority…”
Connor turned his head and nced at Yannick, his expression showing some concern.
He wasn’t a fool. He knew that Yannick must have bribed awyer in the legal team. Otherwise, Yannick would never have agreed so readily when Jonas proposed a vote!
“Mr. Connor, what do you think of this approach?” Jonas asked Connor softly.
“Is there any other way besides voting?” He hesitated for a moment and asked Jonas.
“Mr. Connor, the current situation is as follows, Mr. Yannick has already presented sufficient evidence to prove that you have indeed vited the provisions of the contract. However, Miss Freya has also presented evidence that you did notpletely vite the provisions. But because you and Miss Freya did not confirm your marital rtionship at the time, relying solely on her evidence to reinstate your status as the heir may not be convincing enough. Moreover, there are severalwyers in our legal team who disagree with this approach. Therefore, the simplest method now is to proceed with a vote!”
Regardless, Jonas was on Connor’s side and exined patiently.
After listening to his words, Connor couldn’t help but take a deep breath and said, “Since that’s the case, let’s vote!”
“Alright!”
Jonas nodded lightly.
Regardless, the current result was much better than before. At least Connor was notpletely disqualified as the heir, and now the vote would be conducted by the legal team, which was considered a good thing for him.
“Let’s proceed with the vote now. Lawyers who believe that Mr. Connor did not vite the provisions of the will and is still eligible to inherit Mr. Steven’s estate, please raise your hands!”
At that moment, Jonas suddenly shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire conference room fell into silence.
After hearing these words, everyone stood still, not a single person raised their hand!
“Hahaha, 1 knew you wouldn’t vote for Connor. How could someone like him, a loser, be qualified to inherit my grandfather’s estate?”
After witnessing this scene, Yannick burst intoughter.
Connor, Thomas, Freya and others standing on the side were dumbfounded.
Because not a singlewyer among the twelve present was willing to support Connor’s inheritance!
They never expected such a result.
Although the twelvewyers in the legal team worked for Steven, their connections with each other were not very strong. Most of the time, they were scattered across the country, providing legal assistance to the branches of the Empire World Corporation.
In other words, these twelvewyers didn’t know each other well and had very few opportunities to meet, except for important arbitration meetings like the one happening now. In general, they rarely interacted with each other, let alone have any personal connections.
This ensured that, in the face of major decisions, the twelvewyers in the legal team would not conspire against Steven, whether during his lifetime or after his death.
Regardless of whether he w^as alive or dead, if these twelvewyers really joined forces to deal with him the consequences would be unimaginable.
This w^as also why he had hired twelvewyers to manage his will instead of one person.
The entire meeting room fell into a deathly silence. It was so quiet that it was a little scary.
Jonas looked at the other 11wyers with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He knew very w^ell that it was not that no one supported Connor.
They didn’t dare to raise their hands now because they w^ere worried that if Connor wasn’t the heir and Yannick became the heir, he would definitely make them pay back in the future. Therefore, they didn’t want to offend anyone.
At this time, keeping silent was the best choice.
“Mr. Jonas, do you think we should continue voting? There’s no one to support Connor now!” Yannick smiled and said to Jonas.
“Who said there is no one supporting Mr. Connor?”
Jonas snorted coldly and raised his right hand directly. Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
After seeing this scene, Yannick waspletely stunned. He didn’t expect that at this moment, Jonas would dare to support Connor!
“Colleagues, 1 hope you all remember what Chairman Steven told us before he passed aw^ay and what promises you made to him. Our achievements today are all thanks to his guidance. Therefore, it is our responsibility to safeguard his final wish. Whatever you think in your hearts, do ordingly. Don’t let other factors influence your judgment!” Jonas said seriously to the otherwyers. After hearing his words, the crowd fell into deep thought.
“I agree that Mr. Connor should continue as the heir!”
At this moment, a middle-aged man raised his right hand.
“I also agree!”
“Mr. Connor was designated by Chairman Steven himself. Under the allowed circumstances, I think we should abide by Chairman Steven’s final wish. I also agree!”
“That’s right!”
Following that, four morewyers raised their right hands.
When Yannick saw this scene, he waspletely stunned, and his expression became extremely ugly.
He didn’t expect that sixwyers would choose to support Connor. If anotherwyer raised their hand now, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Connor, Thomas and Freya looked excited, watching the sixwyers who did not raise their hands.
Time passed by, but in the end, the sixwyers who supported Connor remained the same, with no one else raising their hands.
“Mr. Jonas, how long do you intend to wait? Do you have to wait until the seventh person raises their hand?” Yannick stared and shouted at Jonas.
Upon hearing these w^ords, Yannick eyes shed with helplessness. He then signaled the other five to put their hands down and calmly said, “Now’, those who support the cancetion of Young Master Zhang’s heir status, please raise your hands!”
The sixwyers who had not raised their hands before looked at each other and simultaneously raised their hands.
The final voting result w^as unexpectedly a tie. Six in favor and six against, out of the twelvewyers.
To put it bluntly, this result w^as as if no voting had taken ce.
Yannick had already anticipated this oue. When Jonas mentioned the voting to decide this matter, he knew he couldn’t lose today.
Because he had already bribed these sixwyers, and he personally promised them that if he became the new heir, he would give them corresponding rewards. That’s why these sixwyers voted against Connor.
So, no matter what, as long as he had these six veto votes, he w^as unbeatable!
As Jonas looked at the sixwyers who voted against, his gaze was filled withplexity because he knew these six people w^ere undoubtedly bought by Yannick.
When Yannick wanted to bribe thewyers’ team, the first person he approached was Jonas. But he didn’t expect that Jonas would refuse to cooperate no matter what methods he used.
Therefore, he eventually gave up on bribing Jonas and focused his energy on others.
“Mr. Jonas, what should we do in this situation?” Yannick smiled and asked him.
“Since the first vote resulted in a tie, we can only proceed to the second vote. If the second vote also ends in a tie, then we proceed to the third vote, and so on until a result can be reached!” he replied.
Upon hearing Jonas’s w^ords, Connor, Freya and Thomas showed a hint of surprise on their faces. This voting method was clearly disadvantageous to them. If another round of voting took ce, Yannick would still have the power of six vetoes, while on Connor’s side it couldn’t be guaranteed that the same result will ur..
