"Ruthless? You''ve got some nerve calling me that. Remember when you snatched all the advertisers away from my S Corporation, Mr. Cui? You didn''t show any mercy back then."


    The air between the two women was thick with tension, making all the older men in the room too scared to even breathe loudly.


    Sophie leaned in close to Elodie''s ear, whispering, "Mr. Cui, if I''m not mistaken, you signed a high-stakes deal with Central Bank. They pumped two billion into Reeves International, which skyrocketed Reeves Entertainment in Devonport. But if yourpany doesn''t rake in four billion within three years, you''re sunk. And if you lose, you know the consequences. You''d have to pay back that two billion, and if you can''t, everything you mortgaged to Central Bank, including Reeves International, will be theirs."


    Sophie spected that Elodie''s rush to cut ties with Reeves International and secure Burke International was a move to save the queen by sacrificing the pawn.


    Sophie had also dug up a lot of dirt on Elodie, thanks to Colby.


    "If Bea knew you were twenty billion in debt, I wonder if she''d still let you run Burke International."


    "That''s none of your concern, Ms. Sophie," Elodie''s voice turned icy.


    Her deal with Central Bank was supposed to be top secret. No leaks. Sophie must have had her thoroughly investigated to know all this.


    "Mr. Cui, when you were brought from the countryside to Reeves International, you must have used a simr deal to amass billions for the Reeves family. But considering the Reeves family''s wealth, it probably isn''t enough to support Reeves Entertainment in Devonport. The money from the Reeves family... there wouldn''t be much left in your hands, would there?"


    "Enough with the whispering. Today is your day to take charge. Make that woman hand over the share transfer agreement and then show her out. Burke International doesn''t wee her!" Bea said, ring at Sophie with disdain.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Unfazed, Sophie stepped back from Elodie, "Mr. Cui, like I said, if you want the agreement, have James talk to me. Such a simple request shouldn''t be too hard, right?"


    Elodie''s face hardened as she pulled out her phone, saying, "I''ll call Mr. Burke."


    "Elodie!"


    "Bea, it''s just about having Mr. Burke

    Elodie couldn''t afford to lose any shares in Burke International, so she called James, asking him toe to Burke International. After a brief conversation, she hung up. "Ms. Sophie, this way, please."


    Elodie led the way out, with Sophie following behind.


    The shareholders in the meeting room looked at each other, still unsure of what had just happened.


    Outside the meeting room, Elodie


    said to Sophie, "You could have buried me with the penalty fees from

    Lately, Reeves Entertainment had gobbled up eighty percent of the market''s advertising and endorsements, securing countless gigs for its artists and soaring to immense poprity. However, this also meant that all its artists were on the brink of burnout due to overwork.
