The matter with Joseph Zea was just a small interlude that was soon forgotten. As for whether or not Joseph’s factory would close down, nobody cared. Even if Winifred really wanted to help Joseph, she did not have the means to. The Zea Group no longer had any compassion! Work-life continued, and compared to before, Winifred was more hardworking than ever. The first few batches have been successfully handed over to the Smith Group, and the Smith Group has labeled their trademark to distribute into the market for sale. The response was great. No matter the quality or style, everything received great feedback. As the saying goes, the first step is always the hardest, with such a great start, everything would be more relaxed from now on. To celebrate how smooth Winifred’s project was going, Tyr had specially made a table full of dishes on the weekend to commemorate this event. In the afternoon that day, the family of five were enjoying themselves over lunch. Perhaps it was because
Winifred did not have any time to defend against Ethan’s chain of attacks. The man had used his resignation to incite human emotions just to achieve his goals. To switch out the person in charge and to chase Winifred out of the company. That way, the accusation about Winifred deliberately importing low-quality fabric for profit was firm. It would be hard for her to explain herself. “That’s right. A person like this should be chased out of the company.” “And whatever feedback from the Smith Group will be Winifred’s responsibility.” “Even if they want to send her to jail, let it be done immediately!” The Zea family management officers expressed their opinions. No one was willing to stand up for Winifred and redress her grievance. Winifred was feeling lost. Who were these people? A lot of these people were her closest relatives. Why did each of them want her dead so badly? “Grandpa…” “Don’t call me Grandpa!” Jorge roared. “This project will temporarily be handled by Iris. Wi
Slap… Ethan gave Helen a tight slap across the face. In an instant, five blood-red fingerprints appeared on her cheek. Helen was stunned. She never thought that Ethan would attack a woman like herself. “You beast, you’re feeling guilty now, aren’t you? I’m going to get you for this!” Having said, Helen rushed toward Ethan like she had gone mad. However, Ethan flashed her a weird smile and took a step back. From behind him, two large, strong men suddenly appeared. Bam… One of the strong men kicked Helen in her stomach. She immediately bent over from the cramping pain. The man pointed at her and scolded, “You cocky b*tch better scram or I’ll kill you!” Helen was frightened. These two men looked like gangsters. In fact, they really were. After Ethan had taken Iris’s bribe and framed Winifred, he already knew that someone would come to his house looking for trouble. Hence, he had spent some money to hire these two bodyguards. Sure enough, they proved to be useful. Ethan lit t
The whole conference room suddenly became quiet. Everyone was looking at the door. Before Tyr, who was Satan himself, Ethan did not dare to play any tricks. Ethan walked over to Jorge and immediately told him the whole story. “President, this had nothing to do with Miss Winifred. It was Iris who had forced me to do something like this. She wanted to frame Miss Winifred. I’m sorry that I’ve disappointed you, President.” All of the higher-ups were stunned. Even Jorge was dumbstruck. If what Ethan had said was true, then Iris was too evil a person. She would stop at nothing to reach her goals, which included bringing harm to the company. “Ethan Lynch, how much benefit did you take from Winifred that you have to slander me like this?” Iris started to panic, but she kept making excuses. “Grandpa, don’t believe him. Winifred must have bought him over. Winifred always handled this project, what does it have anything to do with me? Ethan, I never thought you were the kind of b*stard to l
The whole conference room was silent. It was pin-drop silence! Just then, Tyr’s phone rang. After he answered the call and held the phone to his ear, he handed the phone to Winifred a second later. Winifred was confused. “It’s a call from President Smith,” said Tyr with a smile. “President Smith?” Everyone’s hearts fell into their stomachs. Tyr intentionally set it to the loudspeaker as Winifred brought the phone to her ear and said nervously, “Hello, President Smith!” “Miss Zea, we’ve already heard about you leaving the Zea Group. After our investigation, we’ve assessed that the Zea Group has serious issues in their conduct, so we will be stopping all business dealings with the Zea Group! At the same time, we’re very impressed with your personality, Miss Zea. We’ve heard that you will be starting your own company soon. Our Smith Group would be very pleased to continue working with you, Miss Zea! We’ve already drafted the contract, so you can come over and sign it now!” W
Twenty million! To the Zea family whose assets barely reached a hundred million, twenty million was a large sum. It was impossible to accumulate twenty million in such a short time. In an instant, Jorge seemed to have aged a few years. Just a few days ago, the Zea Group was so lively, but now they have been reduced to such a state in a short amount of time. Lilian said, “Why don’t we get Winifred back? If she comes back, our collaboration with the Smith Group will return!” “No!” Iris, who had been quiet all this while suddenly burst out. “All of this happened because of that b*tch Winifred. She just wants to see our Zea family destroyed. No matter what, we can’t ever ask that cruel woman back here!” The whole Zea family fell into a dead silence. If it had been before, they would have definitely continued after Iris to insult Winifred. But now, no one was echoing her. They were not idiots. Many of them had guessed the person behind this incident. However, the Zea family was now
When Iris got the contract, she had wanted to read it carefully, but when she saw the countless conditions and complex terms, she gave up! Next to her, Travis was extremely impatient! After lurking within the Zea family for so long, he had finally gotten this chance. “Iris, sign it quickly. My third uncle is not a patient man. If you keep staring at it, he’ll be unhappy.” Iris subconsciously glanced at Ford, and sure enough, the man looked dissatisfied! I’ve agreed to loan money to the Zea family out of kindness to make it through these trying times, but you’re suspecting me instead? Iris shuddered and quickly signed her name on the contract, placing the company stamp on it afterward! The twenty million load contract was now in effect! At the same time, inside the president’s office of Golden Peony Bank, Winifred’s hands were covered in sweat as she held onto the collaboration contract with the Smith Group. This whole time, she had felt that all of this was absurd. Who would us
Winifred’s heart fell into her stomach. She quickly answered, “We’re not here to get a loan from you.” “Hah! So what?” said Iris. “No matter who you look for, can your representative be more powerful than my third uncle? Winifred, I think your family must have gone mad from being broke. You don’t have any capital on you, but you’re thinking of starting a company. Why are you still alive? After leaving our Zea Group, you’re nothing!” Having said that, Iris raised the loan contract in her hand cockily. “Do you see this, Winifred? With just a word from my Travis, a twenty million loan is easy as pie, so you don’t even think about loaning a single cent today.” Slap! Like a strike of lightning, Tyr slapped Iris across her face. “I’ve already warned you earlier. I won’t repeat myself another time!” Tyr’s slap dumbfounded iris. Travis rushed over out of reflex, but after meeting Tyr’s dangerous gaze, he gave up! “You wild man!” Iris could only vent her frustrations through words. Fo
