This kind of thing could be resolved with just a phone call. Is this man so free that he specifically came to the hospital for this?"On the way." Ivan's voice was cold, and his face was full of displeasure.Haley pursed her lips. She said lightly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Winston. I had a situation this afternoon, so I couldn't make it to the appointment on time."Ivan looked her up and down and found her in good spirits. It seemed that nothing major had happened. While Ivan was assessing Haley, Thomas was also assessing him. He had known Haley for four years and knew better, than Haley herself, how many men had pursued her. Once a male appeared by Haley's side, there was an 80% chance that he was chasing after her.He snorted coldly, "People who want to discuss cooperation with Haley are lined up all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. Who do you think you are? How dare you question my Haley for breaking the appointment? If she wants to cancel, she can. It's her right. Do you have the qualificat
Todd cursed under his breath. Angela had a special connection with Ivan, and every time she saw him, she was drawn to him automatically. He hurriedly caught up, grabbing Angela's arm."Angela, don't wander around. Mommy will worry. She's sick now, and if she worries about you, she won't get better."Angela finally stopped running. She stood by the railing in the hospital corridor, looking down until Ivan's figure disappeared, and only then did she avert her gaze. Todd lowered his eyelids, his hands clenched into tight fists.Ivan was very likely their father. But this man impregnated two women at the same time, which clearly showed he wasn't a qualified father. If Angela accepted Ivan as her father, she would likely be hurt again.He didn't want Mommy to get hurt, and he didn't want Angela to get hurt either. He was a man, and he would grow up quickly. He would shoulder the responsibility for this family.Haley felt much better after the IV, but her head still felt fuzzy. As a result,
After changing her outfit at home, she drove to the DeRoss Group. It was her first visit since returning to the country. The DeRoss Group building stood firm as it did five years ago, but now it had been renovated with blue glass walls that reflected the blue sky and clouds, giving it a grand and imposing appearance.Haley walked in calmly. As soon as she appeared in the lobby, she attracted the attention of countless people."Isn't that Haley? Why is she here at the company?""Didn't the news say she became the third largest shareholder of the DeRoss Group? There's a shareholders' meeting today, so of course she has to come.""She hasn't shown up at the company for four or five years. She probably has no idea about the company's operations and direction.""What do you know? She's here to assert her authority. As for running the company, leave it to the professionals. She doesn't need to understand those things.""I feel like there will be a power struggle within the DeRoss Group.""I
"Even if I leave, it won't change the fact that the DeRoss Group was founded by my mother." Haley's light and airy tone sharply contrasted with Mr. DeRoss's fury.The secretaries in the corridor were too scared to make a sound, the air heavy with tension and friction.Haley took a step forward, her cold eyes showing a slight ripple. "Father, can't you tolerate me like this?"Mr. DeRoss gritted his teeth. "Since you set that fire four years ago, I haven't considered you my daughter.""What if I told you that I didn't start that fire?""Even if it wasn't you, it still happened because of you," Mr. DeRoss sneered with his eyes filled with sinister intent. "You shouldn't have come back alive.""Very well, I understand." Haley sneered.At this point, the relationship between father and daughter had reached its limit, and any semblance of parental love had vanished. Then, as for her, there was no need to worry about anything anymore. "Dad, Haley, please stop arguing." Emily hurriedly arriv
Her father could retreat unscathed, but she couldn't. Once the truth is exposed, she and her mother will be in trouble.Emily took a deep breath, "Dad, the shareholder meeting has started, let's go attend the meeting." The majority of shares in the DeRoss Group are held by the DeRoss family. Mr. DeRoss holds 35%, Emily and Haley hold 25% each, and the remaining shareholders hold smaller portions. Originally, Emily was the largest shareholder.After the division of shares, Haley is now tied for second place. With the distribution of Haley's shares and in order to increase her influence, Mr. DeRoss transferred one percent of his shares to her. As a result, Haley became the third largest shareholder, only one percent behind the second.Mr. DeRoss sat in the main seat with Emily and Haley seated on either side. The major shareholders present were naturally aware of the changes in the DeRoss family's shares. Many of them were old employees who had fought alongside Mr. DeRoss, and they we
The shareholders sitting in the conference room were all business people, and it became clear with a little thought what The Winston Group's intentions were. Although The Winston Group had no personal relationship with The DeRoss Group, they extended a helping hand just when The DeRoss Group was facing difficulties. While it seemed that The Winston Group had goodwill towards The DeRoss Group, they only provided an intangible project.Mr. Smith spoke up, "Regardless, this project benefits The DeRoss Group. Since construction won't start for another three years, let's discuss this case again then. Now, Emily, please update us on the major projects currently being progressed by The DeRoss Group so that we have an idea."Emily opened the file and slowly began reporting, "The DeRoss Group has a total of three major projects, two of which are nearing completion, and one is still in progress. Additionally, the company is in talks for new projects...""So, you mean to say that out of the vast
Haley was pretty, assertive, and exuded confidence with every frown and smile. Moreover, she indeed had a firm grasp on these clients, causing the shareholders in the room to follow her lead involuntarily.Mr. Taylor's expression improved slightly, and he spoke up, "So, what else do you know? Speak up.""Actually, compared to the Brown family and the Hill family, I think the DeRoss Group should focus on the Roscente Group," Haley looked up, her eyes twinkling."The Roscente Group is building a heavy machinery city in Cuenca, and I'm sure everyone here knows how many products the DeRoss Group can produce for that."Emily suddenly laughed, "Sister, if you know about the Roscente Group, it means you've been paying attention to the DeRoss Group for these past four years. But how come you don't know that the Roscente Group never partners with domestic companies?"Mr. Taylor scoffed coldly, "I thought you had some good opinions, but it seems you only know how to say useless things."Mr. Smi
Although it was difficult to secure the project with The Roscente Group, it wasn't entirely impossible. With some tactics, such as sleeping with a high-ranking executive, there might be a chance of getting their signature on the contract.While this project was important, Emily would rather not collaborate with The Roscente Group and also didn't want Haley to work at The DeRoss Group...Haley was like a poised wild wolf, and if she entered the company, The DeRoss family would never find peace."Haley, The Roscente Group is notoriously tough. I think you shouldn't waste your time," Emily said, "If you really want to do something for The DeRoss Group, you can try contacting Mr. Brown..."Haley raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Ten Brown Family and The Hill Family combined can't compare to The Roscente Group for this project. Within three days, I will have The Roscente Group's people signing on the contract."Her tone carried a hint of arrogance.Few people in the room believed her, but the
