From Divorced Wife To The Top Heiress novel Chapter 50

Chris stared at the arrogant Xavier. “These people always want more and more. He’s practically headed for jail, yet he still acts like this,’ Chris thought.

With a teasing tone, Chris spoke slowly, “Mr. Fallon, you’re the general manager of Dreamhaven Branch. It’s not your fault the business isn’t doing well, so how did it become Ms. Hale’s responsibility?

“Even though Ms. Hale hasn’t been here for four years, she still managed to expand the company’s assets tenfold. And you?”

Xavier’s expression darkened to its worst. ‘I don’t have the ability to grow the business, I’m just a connection,” he thought bitterly.

Chris continued, “Mr. Fallon, instead of arrogantly blaming Ms. Hale here, maybe you should think about what fate awaits you. Other branches are thriving, so why is it only the Dreamhaven Branch that’s on the verge of collapse?”

Xavier’s face grew even darker. The Cloudmere Group’s empire was vast beyond imagination, and Xavier was living well because of it.

He argued, “Mr. Maddox, the economy’s been bad these past two years, and the company is struggling.

“Look at the fashion designers under our company, they haven’t released any new products in a year or two, and sales keep dropping. That’s why the company is failing. How can you blame me for that?”

“And why would you blame Ms. Hale? Does she even care about this place or you people?

“Even if the company’s about to collapse, has it ever delayed your salaries? Has it withheld your bonuses? But what do you do? You come here every day just to fool around. Is this how you work?” he snapped.

“The designers aren’t performing? That’s because the company’s designer is your lover.”

Chris’s cold gaze swept over the seven or eight executives before him.

Everyone at the Dreamhaven Branch was a connection of Xavier’s.

Hearing Chris’s words made them all break out in a cold sweat, especially Xavier.

A sinking feeling grew heavier in Xavier’s mind. They even found out the designer is my lover,’ he thought.

They loafed around all day at the company. When orders came in, they’d take them; without orders, everyone at the factory was idle.

A small–to–medium fashion company entirely sustained by the heiress of Cloudmere Estate, supporting these freeloaders.

Now that she had found out about this, their good days were over. But no one was willing to give up their leisurely lifestyle.

Xavier suddenly jumped up, furious. “Mr. Maddox, how can you say that? We’ve risked our lives for this company. Just yesterday, I nearly had a car accident going to the factory.

“I’ve worked hard for this company for so many years. You can’t erase all that with a single sentence.”

‘Even if the company collapses, I want it to happen under my control, that way Cloudmere Estate won’t find out about my embezzlement,‘ Xavier thought.

Chris didn’t argue back. He stood, took out his phone, and connected it to the big screen.

Then, half–jokingly, Chris looked at Xavier and said, “Let’s take a look at your attitude at work. You’re all quite interesting.”

Chris tapped his phone, and a video appeared. Xavier and several employees were playing cards and drinking at the company.

Everyone froze.

Seeing their stunned faces, Chris continued, staring at Xavier, “Mr. Fallon, you almost had a car accident last night? Must’ve been from drinking too much, huh?”
