World Tree Group Building, Chairman’s Office on the top floor.
A middle-aged woman with a lingering charm stood respectfully behind a young man, reporting her work.
If it were seen by the upper-class society of this city, it would undoubtedly shock them to the core.
This middle-aged woman was none other than the CEO of World Tree Group, the renowned Iron Lady of the business world, Robin Thatcher!
However, the young man was Arthur Rockefeller, who was doing laundry and cooking at Daphne’s house just yesterday.
“Young master, you’re finally back! What about your wife…?”
“Ex-wife! We got divorced.”
In fact, the news of Annie Stacy and him had already caused quite a stir in the morning.
As the CEO, she naturally received the news as well.
But she still felt heart-broken for him while hearing Arthur admit the divorce with that woman.
She knew how much he had put into his marriage during the past three years.
And also, as his assistant, she knew how excellent he was.
In the world of business, he was truly unique, but in the end, he was defeated by marriage and love!
“Then should we cancel the contract with Time A.D?”
Time A.D was the company owned by the Daphne family, and Catherine was managing the whole business as the CEO.
“That ungrateful woman, if there hadn’t been Arthur’s help with the contract, she couldn’t have controlled the Time A.D so easily.” Robin thought.
“No, just keep it.”
Arthur replied, without hesitation.
Then he fell silent for a moment, thinking to himself.
“Catherine, this is the last time I’ll help you.”
Walking to the desk, Arthur took out a contract from the drawer.
On the cover were the words “Equity Transfer Agreement.”
This was originally prepared for Catherine.
Today was their three-year anniversary since they first met.
He still remembered that day when he squatted on the street and met her.
Her smiling face was like a pearl, with sunlight shining on it, pure and beautiful.
Originally, Arthur planned to reveal his identity and transfer half of the shares to her at the business gathering tonight.
The agreement was already drawn up, and all needed was her signature for this behemoth in Georgia to belong to her.
Unfortunately, she had lost the chance!
“Crack~”
The asset transfer worth billions of dollars was torn to shreds by Arthur.
Robin watched by the side, shaking her head.
Catherine Daphne would never know what she had missed.
Then, Robin returned to her own office and dialed the number of the Publicity Department, giving orders.
“Jack, immediately terminate the contract with Time A.D and find their mistakes in the previous cooperation to hold them accountable! Also, notify the Legal Department to be prepared. If they want to sue us, we’ll fight to the end!”
At this moment, she revealed her iron-fist approach as a business “Iron Lady.”
How dare a mediocre family in Georgia insult the Rockefeller by doing such a thing!
She wanted Catherine Daphne and her family to personally repent and apologize to the young master, even if she went against his orders!
“Yes.”
…
An hour later, Time A.D.
Sounds of things being thrown and a woman’s angry roar could be heard from the president’s office.
“Arthur, that filthy waste, how dare he betray me and go after Annie!”
“And Annie, that bitch, no wonder she often visited my house since I married that waste.”
Catherine’s anger had not subsided, feeling that she had lost face.
She had always been the one who betrayed others, but now she was betrayed by Arthur.
“Well, that waste just hooked up with Stacy, that little slut. Sooner or later, we will make them beg for mercy.”
Johnson Smith embraced her shoulders and comforted her softly.
But deep in his mind, he was thinking about how to conquer Annie Stacy, the woman who had rejected him multiple times.
Now it seemed that she couldn’t resist loneliness either, ending up with that rubbish… hmph.
He sneered disdainfully, catching Catherine’s attention.
She looked at Johnson affectionately, resting her head on his chest.
And Johnson slowly reached into that “mysterious garden”, preparing to explore it…
“Ding~”
The ringing of her phone interrupted their spontaneous act.
Looking at the caller ID, Catherine answered the call unhappily.
“Ms Daphne, we found that there existed dereliction of duty on your part during our previous cooperation, failing to achieve the advertised results as stipulated in the contract. We are now suing your company for compensation. At the same time, we are terminating the upcoming contract!”
“What?”
These words hit Catherine like a thunderbolt, causing her face to change drastically, and Johnson’s roaming hands stopped as well.
However, before she could defend herself, the other party hung up, not giving her any chance to explain.
Shortly after, the secretary rushed in, reporting in a panic.
“Chairwoman, almost all of our partners have called to terminate the cooperation and demand compensation. What should we do?”
Catherine rubbed her temples with a headache.
These people must have received the news that World Tree terminated the contract and sued Time A.D, fearing that our financial chain would break.
“I heard that you have always had a good relationship with World Tree Group. Why did they suddenly terminate the cooperation? Shouldn’t we ask Mr. Dawson about it?”
Johnson suggested from the side, feeling that something was amiss.
And the person they mentioned, Jack Dawson, was the head of the Publicity Department of World Tree Group.
It was he who took the initiative to come three years ago and cooperate with Time A.D, supporting the development of Catherine’s company and family.
However, World Tree suddenly broke up with them at the present, what had happened?
“President Daphne, representatives from the bank have come and said they will reevaluate the company’s assets and discuss bankruptcy issues!”
Another piece of bad news made Catherine almost fall down, but luckily Johnson held her in time.
It had only been a short while since the call from World Tree, and Time A.D was already on the verge of bankruptcy!
Was this the king of Georgia?
Under the authority of World Tree Group, everyone felt suffocated.
Catherine’s eyes were empty, as if she were a walking corpse.
The continuous strikes within a short period of time had almost broken her.
“Catherine, the most urgent thing now is to call Mr. Dawson and find out the reason.”
