Without sparing her a nce, Seraphina instructed Thomas directly, "Call a department head meeting. In five minutes,. Anyone who''ste would be fired." Thomas responded respectfully, "Understood."
Sophie''s lips twitched as she stared at Seraphina in disbelief.
No one in thepany dared to ignore her like she did.
"Ms. Cross, are you deaf? Our General Manager isn''t here; who are you nning to meet with ... ?"
Seraphina paused mid-step, just as she was about to enter the conference room. She turned slightly and gave Sophie a cold, sideways nce. "General Manager? You mean Grace?"
Sophie admitted, "Of course, she''s my cousin. This isn''t Cross Group, Ms. Cross; this is our turf, and you have no say here."
Thomas couldn''t help but feel sorry for this unlucky woman.
Her arrogance was off the charts. From his experience, her ending wouldn''t be good.
Seraphina''s eyes turned icy. She was smiling, but her voice was chilling as she spoke.
"Cross Group belongs to the Crosses. The Royles have no say here. From this minute onward, all of you would get out of mypany!"
Grace and her mother never seemed to learn, constantly challenging Seraphina''s limits.
Did they think Seraphina was easy to bully? Did they think it was easy to take away Cross''s money?
Sophie''s expression froze. She red at Seraphina and questioned, "You... what gives you the right to do this?"
Thomas stepped forward to dispel her nonsense.
"She holds the position of president at Cross Group. What''s with the nonsense? Where''s Grace? Go and get her here!"
Just before Seraphina entered the conference room, she added to Thomas''s words as a reminder, "And don''t forget to get my uncle too."
If her useless uncle hadn''t managed to screw up his tiny bit of responsibility, there wouldn''t be so much mess to clean up now.
If it weren''t for Emeris giving him apany to manage, he''d still be out there working odd jobs under the scorching sun.
For years, Emeris''s been covering up so many losses in the branchpany, and the money lost was beyond counting. Conflict
Five minutester, Seraphina nced at the few scattered people seated in the conference room. She already had a good idea of the situation.
Emeris dispatched these individuals from their headquarters to monitor the situation.
Thomas distributed the documents.
Seraphina didn''t waste time with pleasantries.
"Everyone, I''m sure you''ve all seen this morning''s news Cross Group''s coboration with Giant Group on the Al project-how did thispany develop an identical product and get it to market?" Before the bald man at the front furrowed his brow and spoke up, there was a brief silence.
"We had no idea. Flora always guards against us, and Mr. Alexander hardly involves himself inpany
matters."
Before he could finish, the conference room door swung open.
"Seraphina, you should''ve let us know you wereing. Why would you start the meeting without us?"
Flora and Grace entered, one after the other.
Flora was dressed in luxurious clothes. Her entire appearance exudes the air of a nouveau riche.
The meeting took ce in her territory; shecked the caution she''d disyed at Cross Estate, and the previous anxiety or panic had vanished.
It appeared that Alexander had forgiven her for keeping a man by her side. Unbelievable...
Seated at the center of the table, Seraphina concentrated on the documents in front of her.
Her delicate fingers held a page, and her expression was cold and disdainful.
"You''re just in time," she said without looking up. "Exin how your corporate spies got ahold of the Al app data that we are developing."Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
Flora was momentarily stunned. Meanwhile, Grace was quick to respond.
"Spies? Ourpany paid top dor to have research institute experts develop this. We''ve already secured- orders from over a dozenpanies, with sales reaching billions. Seraphina, are you really going to stop us from making money?"
