Chapter 179 I Can’t Help You
“Conrad, I am not as thoughtful as you. You came to the company to work as soon as you recovered. If someone doesn’t know you well, they might think you have some plans for the Longfellow Group and want to take me down when I am not in the company.”
Janet went to Conrad and looked down at him with a lake smile.
Conrad treated Janet as a silly girl who was not enough to be a threat to him. When Janet stood beside him, he had a strong sense of
oppression.
Conrad subconsciously stood up and gave up the main seat. He said with a sullen face, “What are you talking about? If I had such an Idea, how could I return the Longfellow Group to you?”
Conrad had wild ambitions but dared not to show that in front of others. There were a few stubborn directors. They supported the
legitimate heir of the Longfellow family.
Conrad continued. “I heard you had gone to another city. The investment project was urgent. You said to think about it but didn’t give me a
reply. I thought I should help you when you were busy. You came back when I just gathered the directors for a meeting.”
Janet sneered.
Conrad knew whether he was helping Janet or making trouble for her.
“You came to the company to work hard as soon as you recovered. Therefore, I had to come back quickly. How could I make you tired?”
When Janet said that. Conrad’s lace turned pale. He was embarrassed.
At that moment, a director said with dissatisfaction.
“Ms. Longfellow, you know it’s your duty. The company needs to be managed. As the chairman, how could you leave such a large group to
a business manager?”
Janet knew the director supported Conrad, so she ignored him. She sat down on the main seat and slammed the table. She said coldly.
“Geordie is my agent. If you disagree with me, I can’t help you. I am the chairman of the Longfellow Group. I don’t need to report my
schedule to any of you.”
“Ms. Longfellow, you have gone too far. I said that for the sake of the company…”
“Alright, stop arguing. Janet is young and vigorous. She just went out to have fun for a few days. There is no need to be harsh.”
Conrad tried to mediate.
It seemed that he was helping Janet. In fact, what he said made the directors even more dissatisfied with Janet.
