The next day, in the early morning, Harvey York woke up in Fortune Hall and looked through his texts before


    remembering this was the ninth branch''s board meeting.


    Harvey wanted to support her in secret after her departure from the Jean family....


    But after thinking she would probably be taken advantage of during the meeting, he could not just sit and watch.


    He quickly called a cab before heading to the Zimmer Enterprise''s office building.

    Ten o''clock in the morning.


    At the CEO''s meeting room.


    There were around twenty people seated inside.


    Other than the board of directors, many major shareholders were also here.


    They were essentially members of the family, too. Some of them even came all the way from Mordu.


    There were only rtives of the family at most, but their resources were something that ordinary people could


    never imagine.


    When Mandy Zimmer finally came with her secretary to the meeting room, she realized her seat was already being


    taken over.


    Elodie Jean was wearing a mini-skirt and ck stockings, revealing her radiant, long legs while ying with her


    Beads of Eyes, making a lot of men instinctively take a few more nces at her.


    Her legs were crossed with each other while asionally rocking her legs around. It was quite a seductive sight.


    She seemed like a pretty sophisticateddy with an unspeakable sense of courage...


    It felt as if she was confident that she would be able to take down Mandy.


    "Mandy!


    "Our dear CEO!


    "Don''t you know what day it is today?


    "This is our crucial board meeting! Some major shareholders came all the way here just to attend the meeting!


    "And yet, as the chairman and CEO, you made everyone wait half an hour longer just for you to show up!


    "I have to admit, you are pretty bold!


    "You don''t even have a bigpany. You''re not even that capable, yet you act so high and mighty! No wonder the


    ninth branchpletely fell as soon as you took control!


    "Come! You better give us an exnation as to why you''re wasting our time!


    "If you don''t, there''s no need for you to join the meeting!"


    Elodie seemed domineering, as if she managed to grab hold of Mandy''s weakness. She was tantly running her


    mouth with a smug.


    "Good point! The meeting was announced a day ago, yet you still came herete? What a joke!


    "Apany needs rules and regtions! Everyone is required to abide by them! If the CEO can''t do that, how can


    we expect the workers to follow suit?!


    "I was wondering why our dividends had been decreasing every single month! This is why!


    "I think we should just get another person to take charge of the ninth branch!


    "If not, there''ll be no future for us!"


    Obviously, the directors and major shareholders had received many benefits beforehand. If that were not the case,


    they would not be wasting their time screaming at Mandy in the first ce....


    Mandy frowned She was only informed that there would be a change in the scheduled meeting time ten minutes


    ago.


    It was safe to say that she suffered quite a huge loss without any chance to refute it.


    That said, she could not just me it on Elodie for such a small matter since she was the CEO. It would make her


    seem like she had no control over her ownpany.


    Mandy took a deep breath to suppress her anger before speaking.


    "Time is of the essence. Let''s begin."
