Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 539

When Stella returned to the company, Donald was sitting leisurely on the sofa, humming and looking comfortable.

Stella put down her things and sat in front of her desk, “What is your expression?"

"Congratulations, you effortlessly got 20 million from Armand."

Upon hearing this, Stella paused, “Has the money been received?"

"Here, it was received in half an hour."

"Unexpectedly, he is quite efficient."

Donald adjusted his posture, “You sent someone to follow him, so could he be inefficient? If he still doesn’t transfer the money, I will have to create some troubles for him."

Donald continued, “By the way, I helped you get such a large sum of money. Shouldn’t you treat me a meal?"

Stella curled her lips into a smile, “Didn’t you have meals here every day?"

"How can you equal them? Are they delicious? It's just food to fill my stomach." Donald said, "I devote myself to you and the Steward Group every day. It's not that much to treat me a meal, right?"

Stella stretched out, “Stop it. You said as if you have no money."

Donald coughed, “Money doesn't matter. It hurts our relationship to mention money. Based on our relationship, I will still choose to help you even if you don't have money."

Stella said solemnly, “Then you shall give back the money to me."

Donald looked around, "Hey, the weather is good today."

Stella retracted her gaze and ignored him.

After a while, Donald asked, "Since this matter has progressed to the current condition, what are you going to do with Armand?"

"Let's collect the evidence of his crimes first. He has committed similar crimes for many times before. Although most of those were an exchange of interests at that time and the two parties had agreed on it, this does not mean that he can do these things unscrupulously."

"Those things were all done by Armand when Lyndon was still the chairman of the company. As for the shreds of evidence, I guess most of them must have been destroyed, and it may not be possible to find them."

Stella said, “Even you can't find it, you still have to try. Shall we let him get away with the legitimate punishment?"

Donald tapped his finger on the armrest of the sofa, “Certainly I agree with your idea of putting Armand into prison. But I have to remind you one thing: Armand has been working in the Steward Group for dozens of years and he is now the vice president of the company. His promotions were not only because of his ability, but also his interpersonal connections.”

After a pause, Donald continued, “And you just took charge of the Steward Group for a few days, yet you started to deal with the employees who used to side with Lyndon. Although there is no problem from our point of view, in the eyes of others, they may inevitably think..."

Stella said in a calm voice, “I know what you mean, but have you ever thought about it: the reason why Steward Group became where it is today is that it rotted from the inside. Lyndon is the chief culprit. If we want to save the Steward Group, all the rotten parts must be dug up. Otherwise, the Steward Group will only continue to rot bit by bit until it perishes."

Donald didn't expect her to say these and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Stella continued, “But you're right. We should celebrate it for getting such a large amount of money. You have worked hard during this period. Help me organize a gathering for high-level executives. You can choose the location."

"A gathering for high-level executives? Are you going to invite Armand?"

"Yes, he offers the money. Shouldn't we invite him?"

Donald laughed, “I think you want to piss him off."

Stella curled her lips into a smile, “Just do it. I'm going to see my friend tonight. Please help me invite them."

Donald stood up, “Okay, you’re the one to pay my salary after all. I have to work since I’m paid."

Half an hour later, the news that a gathering of the high-level executives of the Steward Group would be held tonight spread throughout the company.

When Armand heard the news, he just got home. He was so pissed off that he almost kicked a hole in the door angrily.
