Divorce Clock Ticking (Kenneth and Angela) novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11 

“…” Frank felt a surge of annoyance. Over the past few years, aside from placing his relatives in the company, he had left other matters to the other shareholders. He had no clue about the company’s recent operations,

Under Angela’s calm gaze, Frank’s face reddened with embarrassment, and he unconsciously looked down in guilt.

“Are you unable to answer, or just unwilling to, Mr. Black?”

Whichever choice he made, Frank believed he would fall i

Il into the trap Angela had set. He became annoyed.

He said, “Ms. Lewis, you know full well that I’m not good at managing the company. You’re asking me these questions to make things difficult for mearen’t you?

Angela’s expression was cold. She said, “Since you know you’re not good at managing the companyit seems you have no right to criticize my decisions, Mr. Black.”

Frank felt helpless.

Brenda came to Angela’s office with documents for her to sign. As she reached the door, she saw Frank storming out of the officenot even greeting her before leaving

Entering the room, Brenda couldn’t help but ask Angela, who was calmly reading documents, “What did you say to Frank? He looked upset when he left.”

Without looking up, Angela replied while reading the documents, “He’s upset about me firing his relatives. What is this?”

Brenda handed the documents to Angelasaying, “These are the contracts to be signed today. I’ll take them away after you check and sign them.”

Angela took the documents and spoke with a composed expression, “Notify the HR departmen find me two secretaries, one man and one

woman.”

“Alright, I’ll get the department on it right away.”

After checking and signing the documents, Angela looked up at Brenda and asked, “One more thing, what’s the company’s current financial shortfall?”

Brenda hesitated for a few seconds, her expression turning grim. “At least 10 million dollars.”

Angela frowned, “Alright, I got it. You can leave now.”

After Brenda left, Angela checked her available balance. It was just over 10 million dollars.

She called the financial manager to transfer the 10 million dollars to the company’s account and said indifferently, “This is a personal loan, i expect it to be repaid with the year–end dividends.”

“Understood, Ms. Lewis.”

Aher the financial manager left, Angela continued reading documents.

Having vented his frustration in his office, Frank still couldn’t swallow the insult. After much hesitation, he called Garret Taylor. “Mr. Taylor, are you free for lunch?”

At noon, as soon as Garret entered the private room, Frank stood up and greeted him warmly. “Mr. Taylor, please, have a seat.”

Garret sat down with a smiling face and then looked at Frank. “Mr. Black, you must have something important to discuss since you invited me to lunch so far from the company.”

Frank smiled ingratiatingly and nodded. “You know me well, Mr. Taylor. You must have heard about Ms. Lewis taking action against me this

morning,”

Garret sipped his coffee calmly and replied“Mr. Black, that was just Ms. Lewis strategizing for the company’s future. It’s normal to lay off a few people.” 

Those laid off were Frank’s relatives who knew nothing and were just idling around, so Garret thought it was not a big deal.

Frank said with a strained smile, “You’re right, Mr. Taylor. But do you think Ms. Lewis will only target my people?”

Garret tightened his grip on the coffee cup, remaining silent.

Frank continued, “Mr. Taylor, I’ve always thought that you are the most capable among all the shareholders. Even though Ms. Lewis has the majority share, she is still young and somewhat impulsive. I would prefer you to manage the Empyria Group, Mr. Taylor.”

“What are you trying to say?”

“Mr. Taylor, I heard that you have been trying to sign a deal with Mr. Wilson from the Nivalis Group recently, but you haven’t succeeded yet. Since Ms. Lewis is so capable, she will definitely be able to seal the deal. What do you think, Mr. Taylor?” Frank said.

Kenneth was filled with impatience. “I told younothing happened between Jennie and mel”

e it’s not,

then sign the divorce as soon as possible. While I’m still young, I’d rather get a divorce and meet someone else.”
