Chapter 155 Radley Monaghan Gets Angry
Monaghan Group.
Radley sat in his office, his face as cold as ice.
Connor walked in from outside the office and reported in a low voice, “Mr. Monaghan, Owl has returned, and I have given him all the instructions. He has made a military order to investigate this matter thoroughly within half a month.”
Owl was someone whom Radley had trained for many years. He had always been away from the public’s eye while holding control over the people and forces Radley secretly had. In other words, Owl could be considered Radley’s right–hand man.
But over the years, Radley had never made use of Owl even when he was in danger.
It seemed that Freya’s accident this time had truly set Radley off.
The phone on his desk rang after he responded to Connor’s words. Rubbing his temples, he answered the phone and heard Brandon’s voice come through the phone. “What’s going on, Radley? I haven’t been online these past two days, and all I hear today when I arrived at the Joint Department in West Geft is everyone talking about Freya’s accident!”
Radley’s face only fell. Now the whole internet knew about this matter, it was a given that the staff at the Joint Department in West Geft knew as well.
There was no way of hiding this.
“What have they been saying?”
“They are saying that there might be a change of personnel for the reconstruction project in West Geft, and there’s a possibility that Kaufmann Group will withdraw from this cooperation! Radley, what’s really going on? Did something really happen to Freya?”
“No!” Radley’s answer was firm. He wouldn’t let anything happen to her!
His gaze turned cold after he hung up the phone.
The meeting that was postponed a few days ago had been rescheduled for today and couldn’t be delayed. any longer. When it was time for the meeting, he got up and went to the conference room.
They had just discussed recent matters in the conference room.
A vice president by the name of Fernando Lee suddenly mentioned Freya’s recent attack and looked at Radley.
“Mr. Monaghan, Miss Kaufmann from the Kaufmann Group that is in charge of the West Geft reconstruction project was recently attacked. She is in critical condition according to online sources. Do you happen to know if the news online is true?”
Radley’s face turned cold, and his eyes were icy when he stared at Fernando and asked in return, “What‘ are you trying to say?”
Fernando had a pleased expression on his face. “Mr. Monaghan! It’s great news if it’s true! After all, it was Miss Kaufmann who represented the Kaufmann Group and signed the contract with the government! If she dies, the person in charge of Kaufmann Group will definitely be replaced, and we will have the upper
hand in the West Geft reconstruction project!”
Fernando considered himself a genius who understood how to seize opportunities when it came to business.
He excitedly continued, “Mr. Monaghan, we can take advantage of Miss Kaufmann’s accident while the Kaufmann Group is in chaos and renegotiate with the government. It would be best if we can completely take control of this project ourselves. Even if the government disagrees, we can secretly control the Joint Department in West Geft until Kaufmann Group appoints a new person in charge!”
Before Fernando finished his words, a light cough resounded in the office.
Another vice president furrowed his brows. “We are currently cooperating with the Kaufmann Group. Isn’t it unethical to take advantage of someone else’s misfortune?”
“Businessmen like us should seize opportunities and use all means necessary. What’s wrong with taking advantage of someone’s misfortune? Nothing is inappropriate as long as the benefits are sufficient. Even if there are criticisms, we from the Monaghan Group have the ability to manipulate the online discourse, Freya Kaufmann’s death will only be more beneficial than harmful to the Monaghan Group!”
Radley suddenly snickered. “Since when has ‘using all means necessary‘ become something that you can openly brag about? Do you think the Monaghan Group will still have a good reputation in Caltun in the future?”
The vice president who had previously accused Fernando of taking advantage of someone’s misfortune clicked his tongue. To package taking advantage of someone’s misfortune as something so noble and to have such calculating thoughts. How shameless!”
However, Fernando didn’t care about other people’s ridicule and quietly studied Radley’s expression.
Having worked in the Monaghan Group for many years, he could tell that Radley was fuming now. Radley’s expression was calm, but his eyes were indifferent without a trace of compassion.
Not knowing which words he uttered had offended Radley, Fernando smiled sheepishly and muttered, “I probably didn’t think things through.”
Fernando pondered the relationship between Freya and Radley
Everyone in Caltun knew that these two had been married for two years. But now, many people in the higher society of Caltun knew that Freya was pregnant, and yet the father of the child in her belly remained a mystery.
Mr. Monaghan has clearly been cheated on! He and Freya Kaufmann are supposed to be repulsed by each other!
However, Radley’s gaze now sent a chill down his spine.
“I’m afraid Mr. Lee’s business judgment and values are not suitable for working in the Monaghan Group anymore,” Radley mentioned calmly. “But since you have worked here for many years, you may take a year’s salary before you leave.”
Fernando abruptly jumped to his feet upon hearing those words. “Mr. Monaghan, I have been loyal to the Monaghan Group, and I will definitely assist you wholeheartedly! I will never speak out of turn again!”
Radley didn’t have the patience to listen to him anymore and announced the end of the meeting before leaving the room.
Hous
Fernando hurriedly caught up to him but was stopped by Connor before he could reach Radley. “Mr. Lee, do you need me to get someone to take you to the Finance Department?
“Mr. West…” Fernando’s lips trembled slightly. “Did I say something wrong? Will you please give me a hint or something?”
Connor let out a soft sigh. “Mr. Lee, you don’t need to ask about this anymore. You probably don’t stand a chance to be forgiven by Mr. Monaghan this time.”
Seeing Fernando’s dumbfounded expression, Connor turned around and went to the president’s office.
Recently, Radley showed no mercy to anyone whenever it involved Freya.
After the meeting. Radley dealt with two documents in his office with the same frown plastered to his face.
His thoughts were constantly on Freya… He didn’t even know if she had gotten through the critical period!
When it was almost time to get off work, Radley looked up from his desk at the knock on the door to his office.
He thought it was Fernando who had come to beg for mercy, but it turned out to be Hannah.
“Radley, I saw Melissa today.”
Hannah’s eyes were red when she told Radley everything she had heard from Melissa today, including how much Melissa cried.
Her voice was heavy with concern. “Radley, Melissa was crying so hard. She and Freya were always close, and Freya was her idol. Based on what I’ve heard, Freya must be in critical condition!”
Radley’s face grew even colder.
For the sake of Freya’s recovery, he had been holding himself back since Braxton didn’t let him see Freya.
He only stayed in the yard in front of the standalone building for a while every day.
But if what Melissa said was true…
