My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1404

“Besides…”

Tiffany could see Bailey’s lips subtly curving upward into a smug smile as he continued, “Due to your unstable emotion, your poor health condition, the fact that you are having an advanced maternal age pregnancy and have just undergone a great hit, we’re concerned that you will be affected by your emotions and lead to suboptimal business decision making. As such, more than two third shareholders in the shareholders meeting just now have voted to temporarily revoke your management rights in the company. We’ll restore your position after you’re physically and emotionally recovered to ensure that you’ll be able to work competently.”

Cooper remained silent sitting beside her. Though this was disgusting and cruel news to Tiffany, he thought it was best for her to take a break at this moment especially after the major incident. On top of her pregnancy at an advanced maternal age, she had suffered a severe blow and could lose her child anytime. Moreover, she might not be able to hold herself back from seeking revenge against the Winstons.

In Bayside City, the Adams Family was no match for Winston Family, the local tycoon. The Adams would be greatly undermined if the Winstons gained the upper hand; even if the Winstons failed to prevail, Cethos would not allow them to be defeated and might directly interfere by imposing sanctions against Adams Family.

One was an insurance company from overseas while the other was the local ruler of the underworld who maintained the order of Bayside City’s underworld. Cethos would certainly preserve the latter.

With that, Cooper quickly cooed, “It’s okay, Tiffany. Lie down. Your health is of utmost importance and you can still go back to the company after you’ve recovered.”

However, Tiffany merely put on a bitter, vile, and hateful smile.

“Bailey, so you’re implying that I’m not allowed to seek revenge for my daughter, and you’re even revoking my authority!”

The Winstons had helped Bailey to get rid of Betsy and caused a huge blow to Tiffany. Then, Bailey had grasped the opportunity to quickly call for an urgent shareholders meeting and revoked her authority. True enough, this was Bailey’s typical approach. This fifteen-year-old young lad was extremely scheming and vicious, and he was an expert in exploiting opportunities and twisting the knife in one’s wound.

Tiffany even suspected that this was a trap set up by Bailey and the Winstons.

Besides suffering a huge blow from Betsy’s death, even her recent pregnancy, which she intended to keep a secret, was made known to Bailey. As such, Tiffany was in a precarious situation.

In contrast to Tiffany’s distress and madness, Bailey remained calm and clear-headed.

“Tiffany, I understand how you feel, but I have to take into consideration Adams Family and Adams Group as a whole too. Betsy has got only herself to blame for her death, and the Winstons are already kind enough for not holding you accountable. In fact, you hold the greatest responsibility for Betsy’s incident. If you had listened to me earlier and kept her within bounds, she would not have been so bold to go after Harry’s son.”

“Then, Adams Family and Adams Group would not have to pay for the consequences of your incompetence in disciplining your child. If you insist on demanding an explanation for Betsy’s death, please make a clean break with Adams Family and the group, and use your personal wealth to hire a lawyer for legal advice. The group and the family too will make an announcement as soon as possible to declare that we’re no longer connected to you anymore, and that we will not bear the consequence of your actions.”

Nodding at the side, Cooper admired Bailey’s composure.

He had totally put aside his personal emotions and acted in the best interest of the company and the overall situation to reduce the damage to a minimum. His decision and judgement were precise to stop loss before it was too late. Besides, his thoughts were logical and coherent.

Though he was indeed rubbing salt into the wound, he presented it in an imposing manner.

However, Tiffany had a totally different point of view.

Bailey did not do this for the sake of the family and the company. He merely wanted to take this opportunity to permanently cast her out from her position of power in Adams Group.

After speaking those words, Bailey turned around as he was ready to leave. “I’ll make a move first. The trouble that Betsy stirred up has caused a big mess in the company, and I still have to go back to the company to give an explanation to numerous officers from the Cethosian government. After all, the last people who were as arrogant as Betsy are still on the snow mountain, and it is hard to even retrieve their bodies.”

Obviously, he was referring to the twins from the Yard Family. It was confirmed that the two had perished but it was an arduous task to retrieve their bodies, which had yet to be brought back until now.

The twins had abducted a child of the Fletchers while Betsy had abducted a child of the Winstons.

While the Fletchers were a military family and owned military power, neither were the Winstons an impotent group.

After exiting the ward, Bailey turned around and looked in Tiffany’s direction.

She thought no one knew how the child was conceived, but in fact, Bailey was aware of everything.

She wanted to deliver the child in secret.
