Chapter 699Holding her goblet, Harriet scoffed, "Things stolen from others won't last long!"With that, she picked up a piece of cake with a spoon and put it in her mouth.But when Delbert was so intimate with another woman, she felt a pricking pain in her heart.She put her hands on her chest, unwilling to let anyone see her discomfort.'After we deal with Sadie, Delbert will come back to me,' she reminded herself.Sadie glanced at Harriet in the distance and went up with Delbert.Intentionally, she said to Harriet, "This is the Bass family's banquet. What are you, an outsider, doing here? It's funny."She covered her mouth and sarcastically chuckled.Harriet shot back, "Where do you get the nerve to say such things? I thought you were talking about yourself. Isn't this just slapping yourself in the face?"Annoyed, Sadie pointed at Harriet's nose.The Bass brothers heard the commotion and quickly walked over.Oliver was annoyed by Sadie's arrogant attitude and grabbed her
Chapter 700"It seems that you don't want your hands anymore," Arthur sneered. "Get lost! Don't disgust us."Sadie wanted to argue, but Levi chimed in, "Shut it! If I hear one more insult toward Harriet coming out of your mouth, I'll kill you right now. You know I have the power to do so!"Sadie was daunted, fully aware of Levi's power.Andy saw them arguing and went to find Felipe."Father, why haven't you taken care of Sadie yet? You promised to personally send her to prison, give her the punishment she deserves, and return the power to Harriet and Miriam."Felipe sneered, "Son, that's naïve of you."Andy understood his meaning.Sure enough, Felipe was scheming against them.Andy played dumb and asked with a puzzled look, "What do you mean by that?""Isn't it obvious? I was deceiving you all," Felipe laughed. "You're silly, son.""What is your purpose in bringing us here?" Andy said incredulously.Felipe did not reply, just clapping his hands.Soon, the hotel was crowded
Chapter 701Felipe had no choice but to answer their questions. After all, he had lost all his subordinates.He spoke slowly, "I never said I would harm you.""Father, I am truly disappointed in you," Andy said bitterly.Miriam was even more disappointed. "Felipe, we trust you so much, coming to participate in the family banquet, and this is how you treat us? I don't have a brother like you."Felipe remained indifferent. No matter what they said, he didn't care. All he cared about was the power of the Bass family."I will spare you this time for the sake of when you saved me in my childhood. But the next time we meet, we will be enemies. Harriet, let's go."With that, Miriam led Harriet, Andy, and the Bass brothers to leave.Harriet took a deep look at Delbert.But he was comforting Sadie, who was frightened by the scene.'Would Sadie be afraid? She is pretending.' Harriet thought bitterly.When Harriet returned to the villa, her face was very grim and pale.Miriam felt gui
Chapter 702Sadie broke down all at once.She slumped onto the nearby chair, unsure of what to do."How could this happen?" she muttered.If the Bass family went bankrupt, what would be the point of her being Ms. Bass?Felipe quickly told the employee, "Notify all departments. No matter what means they use and no matter the cost, they must stop the current situation."But his tone lacked confidence.He had a faint idea of who was behind this.It must be the Bass brothers.Felipe turned to look at Sadie and scoffed, "We're in trouble. Satisfied now? If it weren't for you insisting on dealing with Harriet, we wouldn't have ended up like this."Sadie was provoked by his words.She stood up and glared at him. "What do you mean by that? You sound like the plummeting stock price has something to do with me. The company is losing money, and I am just as anxious. Besides, dealing with Harriet was also what you wanted, wasn't it? Why do you blame it all on me?"Felipe snorted, "You'
Chapter 703Delbert had been lurking in the Bass family for so long just to gather evidence.Fortunately, a rash move by Felipe accelerated his plan.In fact, everything Delbert did was for Harriet, and his feigned amnesia was just to acquire evidence. Initially, he thought that only by getting close could he obtain evidence, but he didn't expect to overhear a conversation between the two people today and record the truth.When the time came to reveal the truth to the public, the Bass family would naturally return to Harriet's hands.Having captured the desired content, Delbert left with satisfaction.He would wait for the right moment to expose the conspiracy....The Bass Group's stock price plummeted, causing anxiety among the employees. Many people sensed the danger and even decided to resign.Even the shareholders began to sell off their shares, cutting losses early to avoid losing everything in the end.Levi noticed their actions and found Harriet."Yvonne, now the s
Chapter 704The employees had been leaving the Bass Group one after another. Those who stayed were in a state of fear and anxiety, struggling in their final attempts."What about you? When do you plan to go over?" Levi asked, looking at Harriet.She had made such a big move about acquiring shares. She couldn't do nothing.Harriet glanced at her watch and replied with a meaningful tone, "The shareholders' meeting should be held now."She had a plan in mind. It would be interesting if she showed up at the meeting with the shares.Levi did not ask any further.Harriet had her plan, and they would provide the necessary support. As for the rest, it would depend on her willingness.But in any case, with them around, Harriet would never be treated unfairly again.As Harriet expected, the shareholders' meeting was held at the Bass Group. Their goal was to select a new chairman.Sadie no longer wanted to be a puppet, manipulated by Felipe. She decided to kick Felipe out and take his p
Chapter 705'Harriet is a shareholder of the Bass Group?' Sadie thought, her heart skipping a beat."How could you have shares in the Bass Group? An unknown woman trying to impersonate a shareholder. I think your mind is messed up," she said.Harriet ignored Sadie and ran her eyes over everyone in the meeting room."I am now the largest shareholder of the Bass Group and can serve as chairman of the board. After all, isn't the purpose of this meeting to choose the person with the most shares to be the chairman?"Not buying it, Sadie rebuked, "You are talking nonsense. How could you possibly have so many shares in your hands? Stop fooling around here.""It's okay if you don't believe me. See for yourselves!" Harriet sneered, throwing a folder onto the table. "Take a look and see who the largest shareholder is."The ownership data showed the shares held by Harriet.The color drained from Sadie's face. "What did you do? How did you get so many shares?""Don't worry. I'm unlike you
Chapter 706The dismissed employees sought out Sadie, crying foul and attempting to have her intercede to keep their positions in the company.Sadie felt a mix of anger and heartache because she had painstakingly placed these people in their roles. Acting on impulse, she went to find Harriet."Harriet, you went too far. With the company in turmoil, you fired so many employees. How do you think the remaining employees feel?" she exclaimed."I only fired a portion of the lazy good-for-nothings. Why should I care?" Harriet retorted. "You know better than anyone how useless these employees are. I dismissed them for the company's sake. Don't you want the company to improve?"Sadie was rendered speechless.But even so, these people were her confidants, whom she had planned to promote to take over the chairman's position from Felipe.Now, with Harriet seizing the initiative and her confidants being dismissed, she became even more resentful."Harriet, you are going too far," she exclai
