Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald (Edward) novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210 

For the next while, Susan continued her deep dive into research and development

Meanwhile, Ben found the time to keep up with some gossip, which he relayed to Susan in a joking tone

After listening, Susan couldn’t help but show a bemused expression

Carl, in a desperate attempt to scrape together twenty million dollars, had sold 10% of his shares at rockbottom prices, yet he still remained the largest shareholder

He was now set on making a name for himself within Space Technologies, determined to recoup his losses. Carl had a history of barely keeping a milliondollar company afloat, stumbling along breakeven

Yet, he fancied himself a business prodigy, believing he had merely lacked the right opportunity to showcase his talents

Now in charge of the vast Space Technologies, he was eager to prove himself and do something monumental

After taking the reins, Carl set off three measuresstreamlining the workforce, redefining the development plan, and aggressively expanding into new ventures 

The result of these measures was that, a month in, Space Technologiessituation hadn’t improved but had, in fact, worsened significantly

Now, Carl believes he’s done nothing wrong, that the losses are due to his staff’s duplicity. But the other shareholders have lost faith in him. According to the information I control, they’re about to convene a board meeting to formally impeach him,Ben said casually

Susan wasn’t surprised in the slightest

Carl had always been incompetent. It wasn’t surprising to see such an outcome

What surprised her slightly was that Carl had managed to make such a mess of things in just one month

He was truly a business geniusin his own right

And Carl’s troubles don’t end there,Ben raised an eyebrow. According to the will Timothy had set up in advance, his wealth goes to Yana and the child. But after inheriting the wealth, Yana is required to donate at least ten million dollars to the foundation annually, a commitment that must be maintained for at least five years. Initially, with the value of the shares she held, donating ten million dollars a year would have been effortless for Yana, even if she did nothing. But with Carl’s mismanagement causing Space Technologies to collapse, the annual dividends they’ll receive are unlikely to meet that ten million mark. If they fail to fulfill this donation obligation, they could lose their inheritance rights to the shares.”

If Carl had been willing to delegate comp 

dividends would have been a breeze

But his obsession with power led to the company’s downfall

As the largest shareholder, Carl’s stubbornness and refusal to relinquish control, coupled with the other shareholdersdesire to unseat him, left Space Technologies in a state of internal chaos

If the company was not stable, how could it develop

Susan fell into a contemplative silence

Ben stroked her hair gently, What’s the matter? Can’t let go?” 

Susan shook her head, There’s nothing to hold onto. They never considered me family, so I have no reason to cling. But I did pour my heart into Space Technologies. Watching the company fall apart is naturally upsetting.” 

Ben couldn’t hide a touch of envy, That Timothy, he was just lucky to have met you so early.” 

Had he met Susan earlier, they could have built the Storm Group together, grown togetherjust the thought was too beautiful

What’s there to be jealous about?Susan said softly, her gaze tender, That was my past. But my present and future are with you.” 

Ben’s gaze flickered, his voice growing husky, Susan, don’t tempt me.” 

Susan was speechless

Did she tempt Ben in any way

Wasn’t it just his mind filled with nonsense

But seeing Ben’s increasingly dangerous gaze, Susan got a bit flustered and swiftly changed the subject, Besides 

the Miller family’s drama, is there any other gossip?” 

Knowing full well that Susan was sidestepping, Ben gave her a meaningful lookbefore casually mentioning. Nothing much else. Just that Leo’s company has launched a project to develop a dating game.” 

Is that so?Susan paused briefly, not giving it much thought, Anyone can develop a game. The market will decide who wins and who loses.” 

In reality, with the powerful Al as her ace in the hole, Susan hadn’t considered the possibility of losing

Ben was aware of this

Chapter 210 

So, after sharing this bit of gossip, the couple brushed it aside and moved on

Two months later

The Storm Group announced the successful development of a new smartphone

The Storm Group declared that a launch event would be held the next day, the phone codenamed Future One

The world buzzed with excitement

Ben had previously stated that the most anticipated smartphone series from Storm Group was the Future Series

The release of the Future Series would signify that Storm Group had achieved epochmaking progress in a certain 

field

Epochmaking

Such weighty words

The previous Allure series phones, equipped with the latest system, received unanimous praise

But that was just the Allure One

Not the Future One

The Storm Group, simply by releasing the name of a phone series, without revealing anything else, had set 

countless minds racing

What breakthrough did the Future One achieve

Simultaneously

Isabella also saw the news

Her face turned deathly pale

Future One?Isabella’s expression twisted slightly, Future One! How is this possible, how could it be?” 

Isabella, what’s wrong? You look terrible,Leo noticed Isabella’s distress and asked with concern

sabella shook her head, seemingly in a daze

Leo didn’t probe further, saying, If there’s nothing important, can you oversee things at the company? I’m going out co play cards.” 

Saying so, Leo walked out, preoccupied with his own concerns
