Chapter 226 Wynter Values Her Career Over Men
Meanwhile, Wynter had justpleted her exams, unaware that she had be the center of
attention among the elite socialites of Kingbourne
After all, it was practically impossible for their worlds to collide. Wynter was a CATERE oriented woman
and ced greater value on financial sess than on dating
As soon as Wynter exited the examination hall, she got back into the SUV where Larry went over the
details of the acquisition with her.
“We can lower the price a little more.” Wynter then drew a circle as she continued, “Retain the Yates
Group’s operations manager, Zoey Simmons, and fire everyone else.”
Larry nodded in response. “I’ll make the necessary arrangements.”
“There’s no rush.” Still seated in the car, Wynter rested her chin on her hand and fiddled with her purple
sugilite pendant.
“You can make your move once Ewan is out of options.”
Before long, her words manifested. The Yates Group plunged into a full–blown crisis. Yesterday, it was
their partners who turned their backs. Today, even the four major banks refused to extend them loans.
Instead, loan sharks came knocking, which troubled Ewan deeply. “You’ve fallen from grace, but you’re
still trying to act like the president? Please, even beggars won’t spare you a second look.”
“Get lost!”
Ewan’s ashtray was smashed into pieces. To make matters worse, the cleaners kept pressing for their
wages, and the finance department could only respond with a sneer.
“Wages? Even we’re not getting paid, let alone you guys!”
With Margaret sidelined, the talents of the Yates Group had all left thepany, leaving only Zoey
persisting bitterly.
She stormed into Ewan’s office. “Returning the management rights to Madam Margaret is the best
course of action to appease the public now.
Ewan flew into a rage at her words. “Never! The Yates Group belongs to me! She refused to relinquish
control when she was younger. Even on her deathbed, she still won’t let up? Dream on!”
Zoey took a deep breath. “You’re not going to return it? Are you just going to watch the Yates Group go
bankrupt? What about the employees who have been with thepany for over a decade?”

“They can do whatever they want!” Ewan continued ominously, “Zoey Simmons, I know you’ve always
been dissatisfied with me. My mom valued you the most as her sessor at the time. Keeping you in
thepany was her way of going against me!”
Clutching her employee ID tightly, Zoey snapped, “You and Madam Margaret are
iparable! If it wasn’t for the sake of the Yates Group, I would have left long ago! But now, I quit!
I’m done serving you!”
All the effort Zoey had put into business discussions and attending business dinners over the years had
all gone down the drain thanks to that good–for–nothing, ungrateful scoundrel. With Zoey’s departure,
the Yates Group lost its final hope.
Ewan thought about asking Yvette for the 2,000 thousand back first, but he couldn’t reach her on the
phone. He told himself that she must have missed his calls because she was still
in ss.
Ewan was feeling at a loss when someone from Welkin Corporation suddenly called. “Mr. Hilton is
willing to spare you a few minutes to hear you out.”
“Thank you very much! I’ll be right over!” Before Ewan could get up, he heard Larry’s voice on the other
end of the call.
“That won’t be necessary. We can talk over the phone. I have other meetings to attend to.”
Feeling the pressure, Ewan stuttered as he spoke. Little did he know that he was actually dealing with
Wynter, and Larry was merely conveying her intentions.
“The Yates Group is saddled with debt exceeding 100 million dors. We simply cannot afford to help
out.” Ewan’s heart sank at this.
“However,” Larry continued impassively, “we’ll consider an acquisition.”
Ewan’s expression lit up. “That works too! I’m willing to sell!”
Back in the car, with one hand propping her ch*ek, Wynter’s eyes grew cold. She knew it. He wouldn’t
care the slightest about a business he didn’t establish.
As Wynter raised her hand slightly, Larry responded immediately, “50 thousand.”
