CHAPTER 234
"Actually, Mr. Marcus is quite capable in his work, and his performance in the company has been evident. It's just that his fluctuating shares might cause some trouble for us." After saying this, Emily nervously watched Thomas' expression, afraid to make even the slightest mistake. If he got upset, her company could be taken away from her at any moment."You don't need to worry about this. You are the appointed executive director of the company, and there won't be any changes in the short term." But who could guarantee what would happen in the long run? Thomas certainly couldn't. He had his own thoughts on the matter. He was pleased to see Marcus seeking revenge and was eager to enjoy the results of that revenge.Emily picked up on Thomas's implication. The phrase "in the short term" stung her; what did that really mean? Wouldn't she lose her position as executive director and the company itself in just six months? She had initially agreed to their acquisition to help the company reac
CHAPTER 233
Emily had been restless ever since she learned that Marcus had returned to the company. She regretted her past decision to prioritize short-term gains, which led to the partnership with Inner Grand Corporation and effectively turned her company into a subsidiary. Now, it was hard to backtrack, so she decided to take a different approach and speak with someone higher up. She had already reassured the shareholders on her side, but now she needed to find Thomas and meet with him face-to-face. She wanted to ask him about that contract from years ago and how he had casually transferred the shares to someone else—his ex-husband, no less. As she walked into the Titanex cooperation building, she couldn't help but feel a pang of regret for choosing this place. She had completely forgotten that he still worked here. "Hello, how can I assist you today?" The receptionist at the large corporation was different—her warm and beautiful inquiry eased some of Emily's anxiety. "Hi, l'm here to se
CHAPTER 232
"Have you noticed something strange?That person could be the largest shareholder now, and it won't be long before..." Samuel was quite the gossip, and the older employee next to him nodded knowingly. Everyone knew that the old man's return was no small matter,especially since he had become the biggest shareholder in the company. It was obvious what that meant."It's odd, though. Our company hasn't had any major stock sell-offs or anything. How did that person suddenly become our largest shareholder?"Becoming the largest shareholder isn't aneasy feat."Don't you know? It's Mr. Brown! He personally gave up his shares. You might not be aware of the struggles our company has faced. We were merged with another company halfway through, and our chairman is just an executive director now.""That's true. I almost forgot. After all, the Veritas Group has never really taken our little company seriously. We rarely have any contact, just a name on paper. I didn't expect their shares to pack su
CHAPTER 231
Marcus nodded slightly. Adessa held back her frustration. It was clear from the start that he wasn't taking this seriously; otherwise, he wouldn't have scheduled their meeting atSuch a precarious time, leaving it open to interruptions."You see, I have other things to attend to.Let's meet again later. Don't worry, as long as you come to my side, I'll make arrangements for you," he said dismissively. Adessa felt a wave of dissatisfaction wash over her at his words, but she stood up and walked out anyway. As she passed the doorway, she glanced at the secretary, a hint of confusion in her eyes. The secretary noticed the tension from the conversation and wisely kept her mouth shut.Once outside Marcus's office, Adessa didn't leave. Instead, she turned and headed in another direction, toward Emily's office. As she walked through the company, she confirmed she was on the right track. The layout of the offices never changed, and she couldn't decide if that made the woman nostalgic or indif
CHAPTER 230
As the two of them stepped outside, theyspotted the assistant. The assistant took a glance at the person behind them and noted that they looked quite decent."Hey, who's this? It can't be that Mr. Marcus wants to meet with them, right?"The secretary shot a glance at the assistant, cursing under her breath. How many more times was she going to run into this today?Adessa remained silent. As she returned to the office, it felt like she hadn't encountered anyone who recognized her; everyone was a stranger."We're in a bit of a hurry, Miss Adessa," the secretary said, gesturing for them to move along. Adessa walked past without acknowledging him. Adessa watched them leave, spitting on the ground in frustration. It was infuriating to see such petty people getting ahead. When the chairman returned, he would see just how long they could keep this up. Just because they held a few shares didn't mean they were in charge."This is Mr. Marcus' office. Please hold on for a moment," the secretary
CHAPTER 229
The secretary was unaware of Marcus's background. Suddenly, he had become the largest shareholder, threatening the current chairman's position, and she had unexpectedly found herself in a better situation because of it. Just from this one incident, it was clear that he was someone significant. She couldn't afford to be careless aboutanything he did; her job was now in someone else's hands."Mr. Marcus, understood."As the secretary stepped out with a list and a stack of documents, she collided with a familiar face, her gaze flickering slightly. She cursed under her breath, thinking, "Great, just my luck to run into him.""What did they have you doing in there?You seem to be running around quite diligently these days. Looks like being assigned to the new boss has really worked out for you," he said, his words dripping with sarcasm. She was used to his sharp remarks by now.Ever since Mr. Marcus arrived, he had been throwing cold jabs and looking for ways to provoke her. It all stemme
