Chapter 593 Absolute Power Suppression
Su Youling sighed and said innocently, "I think their sudden decision to terminate the cooperation is not only because I am leaving the Strange Kingdom, but more because some people who shouldn't have come have arrived, right?"
"Shut up!" Facing the strange and disgusted looks from everyone, Shen Xiyue slammed her hand on the table and stood up, unable to bear it any longer. "Su Youling, do you still want to see the person you want to see? Do you think I wouldn't dare to do anything to her?"
Lex, seeing her arrogant demeanor, said sternly, "If you want to cause trouble, get out of Strange Kingdom! This company is a place where interests and strength matter, not a place for personal grudges! We absolutely will not accept a menace like you as CEO."
The other directors, realizing how dire the consequences of losing the art exhibition would be, immediately turned their anger towards Shen Xiyue and shouted, "Get out!"
Shen Xiyue's expression changed; she was so angry she was about to explode.
"Su Youling, you're so arrogant even when you're about to die, you'll definitely pay the price!" Ye Qing glared fiercely at Su Youling, wishing he could devour her alive.
Su Youling narrowed her eyes, a fierce glint flashing in them.
If Rebecca's whereabouts weren't still unknown, she would definitely rush up and tear Ye Qing's mouth apart, then beat Shen Xiyue up and send both of them to prison for life!
Tolerate!
It's worth enduring a moment of anger.
We have to endure it for Rebecca's sake!
Just as the atmosphere was tense, the door opened again.
Everyone was shocked to see the glamorous and elegant woman at the door, and they all stood up at the same time. "Madam, what brings you here?"
Lex, as the eldest elder, quickly rose to greet him, "Why didn't you tell us you were coming? We could have made proper arrangements and shown you the current state of the Strange Kingdom..."
“No need.” Madam Ferro glanced at everyone without changing her expression, her gaze landing on Shen Xiyue and Ye Qing, who looked indignant. She paused for a moment, then asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Madam, we agreed beforehand—you begged me to take on the CEO position.” Shen Xiyue raised her chin and walked over, coldly sweeping her gaze over Lex and the others. “I heard these shareholders are all veterans who helped you build your empire. What a grand gesture! Just now, you were practically holding a knife to my throat to kick them out!”
Ye Qing followed and said with a forced smile, "Karina, it seems we're not very welcome here. Mrs. Ferro has been retired for so many years and has long since stopped caring about the company. I suppose these people under her don't take her seriously either."
"Let's go." She coldly pushed Su Youling aside. "We should go back and do what we're supposed to do. Don't stay here and get in the way."
Su Youling clutched her shoulder as her back slammed against the wall, letting out a muffled groan of pain.
Everyone's expression changed.
Meanwhile, in the president's office.
Yangyang stared coldly at the image on the computer screen, clenching her fists in anger. "How dare she touch Mom! This is outrageous!"
Xingxing clenched her fists and was about to rush out, shouting, "I'm going to teach those two wicked women a lesson!"
"Wait a minute." Yangyang stopped her impulsive younger brother, her gaze falling on Mrs. Ferro, and said coldly, "No one can make our mother suffer. Take this opportunity to let her see the true colors of these people... There will be no need for her to feel guilty or grateful to the Ferro family anymore."
Over the years, to repay the kindness of Grandpa Yin and Rebecca, Mom has always been tolerant and courteous to the arrogant Filo family and their rabble, and has suffered countless grievances.

My mother is a grateful person. In the past, no matter how they tried to persuade her, she wouldn't listen. Now, let her break free from this moral shackle on her own!
As the two children were heartbroken, the atmosphere in the meeting room became increasingly tense.
Mrs. Ferro sat calmly in the main seat, glancing at the trembling board members. "Who was rude to Miss Karina and President Ye just now?"
Sensing the anger in her voice, the crowd cautiously took a step back.
Lex gritted his teeth, suppressing his fear as he whispered in protest, "Madam, it's not that we want to disobey your orders, it's just that Karina's appearance has caused the company to lose such an important project as the art exhibition, which is a huge loss..."
Mrs. Ferro impatiently interrupted him, “The Strange Kingdom is nothing but a trivial trinket in my eyes, which I can disband with a single word if I wish.”
"You old fogies have been living comfortably for too long, forgetting who's really in charge of the company! I can appoint whoever I want as CEO, without giving you any reasons."
"As for Su Youling, no matter how capable she is, she is no longer worthy to stay in the Strange Kingdom and get in the way! Lex, since you can't coexist with the new CEO, then withdraw your shares and leave the Strange Kingdom."
She glanced calmly at the shocked Lex and said decisively, "Considering your hard work and contributions to the company, I will acquire your shares at a price higher than the market price."
"What? How could you do this?" Lex trembled with rage. "Madam, I've served you faithfully and made great contributions. And you want to kick me out for such a trivial matter? Such a hasty and ruthless decision! You're too heartless!"
Mrs. Ferro was too lazy to waste words with him. "Since you're willing to be my servant, you have no right to negotiate with me on equal footing. If it weren't for the merits you've rendered, I would have made sure you left the Strange Kingdom penniless."
She waved her hand coldly, signaling her bodyguards to drag the roaring Lex away.
The crowd looked at each other in disbelief, utterly shocked.
No one expected that Mrs. Ferro would suddenly turn on her and get rid of even Lex, who had always been by her side!
Just who exactly is this Shen Xiyue?
Even a biological daughter wouldn't have this much charm!
Mrs. Ferro took in the shock and fear of everyone present, and casually asked, "Now, who still objects to Shen Xiyue becoming CEO?"
The group exchanged glances and shook their heads; how could they dare utter a single word of dissent?
"Now that you know you're wrong, why don't you apologize to the new CEO right away?" Mrs. Ferro suddenly snapped. "If the new CEO doesn't want you, then get out of here."
Upon hearing this, everyone was terrified and immediately lined up to apologize to Shen Xiyue, treating her with utmost respect, almost as if she were their own ancestor.
Looking at the isolated and helpless Su Youling, Shen Xiyue was instantly delighted. She pretended to be sarcastic and said mercifully, "You are all elders, and there are still many areas where we need your guidance. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, let's sit down and continue the meeting."
The shareholders thanked them awkwardly, but in reality, they were far from willing to be so easily manipulated and humiliated by a random woman.
I hate it so much!
However, everyone had no choice but to comply against their will because of Mrs. Ferro's authority.
Seeing this dramatic scene of making an example of someone to scare others, Su Youling's heart sank – indeed, in the face of absolute power, all her schemes were in vain.
