Chapter 302
James fists tightened at his sides but he didn't say anything, and it wasn't that he couldn't but because his dad was still on the call and also because he was trying to watch what he says. “I think your dad just said you should hand the phone over to me.” Nolan continued, stretching his hand forward again. “So bring it.”He paused briefly and then added, his tone calm but sharp. “You wouldn't want him to disown you now, would you?”The words hit James hard. His chest tightened and his throat felt dry. He swallowed hard, his eyes darting briefly to the phone screen where his father was still glaring at him.Everyone around was completely shocked.Gabriel and Cole couldn't believe what they were witnessing. They started thinking to themselves about who Nolan really was and what kind of person could command this kind of authority so easily. Nolan didn't look nervous or look scared. He looked completely in control.The girls couldn't even process their thoughts. Their minds were blank a

“Does my father know about this?” James screamed again, his voice already hoarse from shouting. “Is he informed at all? Does he know that youre on this call right now? Does he know that youre sitting there making decisions without him!?”The managing director flinched slightly at the screen, clearly overwhelmed.“You need to calm down, James. He said, forcing his voice to remain steady. Just the way this came as a shock to you is the same way it is shocking. There have been some changes in the company and I'm really sorry about it.”“Please shut the hell up.” James snapped, his patience completely gone. “You can't be telling me this rubbish. That position belongs to me and me alone. Not to anyone else. This cant be happening. This is not possible.”He was yelling now, completely crashing out. His grip on the phone tightened so much his knuckles turned white. If not for the fact that the managing director was still on the call, he would have smashed the phone against the wall or stompe

“Good afternoon Mr Nolan, I'm so sorry to keep you waiting.” The managing director said hurriedly as soon as he saw Nolan's face on the screen. His voice was tight and nervous, almost like he was afraid to talk wrongly. He also didn't expect Nolan to be this young at all. From the very first look at Nolan's face, and the smile plastered there made his heart sink. It was a calm smile but it didn't reach his eyes and that was what scared the managing director. .The managing director had been able to get away with a lot of things for years because Nolan's grandfather was already old and tired. He didn't like coming to the company anymore and he trusted people easily. He didn't have the strength or patience to start checking records, accounts and day to day affairs of the company he had already built or invested in and that gave the chairman and the managing director room to do whatever he liked without anyone breathing down his neck. But now, Nolan was here, young, sharp and clearly ve

“That can't be possible. There's no way Mr Lancaster would do this,” the managing director yelled angrily. “He promised us to be right by our side till the very end and no matter what happens, our partnership would remain forever. He can't just pull out now. This is unacceptable.”His voice was loud as he panicked but Elizabeth didn't care. Instead, her expression hardened and her grip on the phone tightened.“The next time you yell at me again, you lose your position and your job,” Elizabeth said sternly. “My team and I are already running the necessary background checks on you right now, and let me tell you, the things I’m seeing are things that, when they make the news headlines, nobody would ever think of buying any Natural Baby products again.”She heard the managing director take a deep breath, then another. She could almost picture him swallowing hard on the other side of the line.“I… I… I’m sorry, Miss Elizabeth,” he said finally, his voice much lower now. “But what can we do
Chapter 298
The managing director was clearly surprised that Elizabeth wanted to speak to him. The moment the call was connected and he heard her voice, his tone shifted. He had already assumed that there was a problem somewhere, maybe something serious, and that was the only reason she would be calling him directly. What surprised him even more was when she asked for the chairman instead.He told her immediately that he wasn’t obliged to give out the whereabouts of the chairman. He was being careful and choosing his words properly. Elizabeth also knew that already. She worked in the corporate world, so she understood how these things worked. She knew he wasn’t in the position to just hand out that kind of information, especially not about the chairman.Still, Elizabeth was starting to get frustrated. The way the managing director kept dodging her request was irritating her. She had never liked having any dealings with Natural Baby Company in the first place. Everything about them was always str

As soon as Nolan texted Elizabeth, she didn't waste a second and sprang into action immediately. She tried to reach out to the secretary that worked directly for the chairman of Natural Baby. She dialed the number once, then again, but it was futile because the line wasn't going through. Elizabeth sighed, worried as she didn’t expect this outcome.She knew the secretary personally because they had crossed paths several times in the past when both of them had to attend meetings together. The woman was never happy and anyone who worked closely with the chairman knew that the job of being his secretary was nothing but a death trap. It wasn't just stressful, but was also mentally and emotionally draining. There was no peace in it at all.Elizabeth remembered having a conversation with the secretary one time. She had asked her why she would settle for such a job when it was obvious that it was destroying her. The secretary had only laughed bitterly and said she didn't have a choice and ne
