My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 825

Chapter 825: Intuition

Austin didn't have any spare time to think about confronting Preston right now. With such a big incident happening at Norman Group, he had to rush back immediately.

But Norman Group was in chaos like ants on a hot pan, and even if Austin returned, it wouldn't make much of a difference.

The Norman family had the largest share in Norman Group and was the ultimate authority. However, Norman Group was not solely owned by the Norman family. Apart from Norman Group, there were Mr. Dávalos and Mr. Moya, who had worked together with Austin's father to build Norman Group. Both of them were the second-largest directors of Norman Group. However, even if their shares were combined, they only accounted for fifteen percent of Norman Group. That was why the Norman family had maintained their position in Norman Group all these years.

But whether it was Mr. Dávalos or Mr. Moya, they were extremely dissatisfied with the Norman family behind closed doors, especially after Austin's father retired and handed over the management of Norman Group to Austin. Austin didn't hold them or the senior-level executives in high regard and was extremely dismissive of them.

So, from the beginning, everyone resisted Austin's management of Norman Group. However, over the years, Norman Group had been profitable and showed an increasingly positive momentum. That's why everyone had silently endured their dissatisfaction. After all, getting their share of the profits was real money. Who wouldn't be happy about that?

But now, everyone knew that the reason why Norman Group could operate so smoothly was because of money with an unclear origin. And they only received a small portion of that money, while Austin and the Norman family took the lion's share.

Who could tolerate such a huge disparity?

After arriving at Campole, Austin immediately held an emergency meeting at Norman Group.

His phone had been lost when Ayan's men were chasing him, so no one could contact him now. All communication was being handled by Jeremiah.

He finally had some peace and quiet.

Jeremiah drove him back to Norman Group. The entrance was crowded with reporters and media, so it was impossible to enter directly. Fortunately, the car he was driving today was not the one he usually used, so it didn't attract too much attention.

The two of them entered through the back door of the basement and took a dedicated elevator up to the office.

When the employees saw Austin, they immediately spread the news in the internal group chat, "Mr. Norman is here!"

"Mr. Norman has been silent all this time, and it's making me nervous. Usually, if he hasn't done something, he would have had Jeremiah issue a clarification. Why is there no movement this time? What should we do? I feel like I'm going to lose my job!"

"Me too. I feel like Mr. Norman is afraid to make a statement. Is Mr. Norman feeling guilty?"

"Shhh!!! Let's not discuss it. It wouldn't be good if it reached Mr. Norman's ears. Let's focus on finding a new job as quickly as possible, or we won't be able to pay off our credit cards if we become unemployed."

Everyone works at Norman Group, so naturally, they hope that Norman Group will continue to thrive. If it's just the usual small matters or less influential gossip, everyone stands by Norman Group. But now, the revealed evidence is completely a violation of the law. It's simply unbearable.

It's all been confirmed now. Unless Austin presents more compelling evidence, this matter will be attributed to Norman Group.

The employees' hearts are starting to waver, and the high-level executives who Austin never took seriously are expressing their discontent one by one.

After the meeting began, the time spent on discussing this matter alone lasted nearly half an hour.

Austin sat there without saying much because he hadn't been resting well lately and had been travelling all day. He was now exhausted.

These voices buzzed in his ears like bees, making him extremely irritable and emotionally drained.
