My Child and I Married a Billionaire novel Chapter 352

Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Overflowing Dominance

Thanks to Damien Vaughn’s recent high-profile appearance on a variety show, and with some maneuvering from his second and third uncles, the news of his car accident in Rivia quickly caused a massive uproar back home.

Overnight, "Vaughn Group President Dies in Rivia Car Accident" became a trending topic.

It wasn’t just netizens speculating that Damien Vaughn was gone; even the company’s senior executives rushed to the president’s office, demanding to know his whereabouts.

Cecelia Archer couldn’t show any sign of grief. Instead, she retorted, asking if they were that eager for something to happen to President Vaughn.

"That’s not it, President Archer. Of course we don’t want anything to happen to President Vaughn, it’s just..."

"President Vaughn took colleagues from the finance and legal departments to negotiate a partnership. Others might not know, but you don’t either?"

"But..."

Cecelia Archer had already instructed the people in the finance and legal departments to guard the secret with their lives. She was determined not to admit a thing.

"They’ll be back in a while, so don’t bring this up again. However, due to his grandfather’s health, President Vaughn will need to stay abroad a bit longer. What? With me holding down the fort, are you worried you’ll go hungry?"

The executives were silenced, but soon, his second and third uncles also arrived at the president’s office.

"Why can’t we get through to Damien’s phone? What exactly happened? Don’t tell me his own uncles don’t even have the right to know, do we?"

’Cecelia Archer had every reason to suspect they were behind Damien Vaughn’s accident, but she had no proof, and right now, she had neither the time nor the energy to find any.’

’Her top priority was to stabilize morale and ensure the company’s operations continued smoothly.’

’Ryan had already left for Rivia. He would investigate everything and bring Damien Vaughn back—whether he was alive or not.’

’It wouldn’t be too late to settle the score with them then.’

"Instead of wasting time here asking where Damien has gone, you two should focus on doing your own jobs. Allow me to remind you, your departments’ current performance is the result of my collaboration with President Vaughn, not your own efforts. Just because the company has orders now doesn’t mean it will in the future. I can’t serve your two departments forever; from now on, you’ll have to rely on yourselves. If you still refuse to make any progress, then we’ll just have to follow company policy—fire who needs to be fired and demote who needs to be demoted."

"You!"

’They hadn’t expected to bring down Damien Vaughn only to have this troublesome woman pop up.’

’She’s so stubborn. Damien Vaughn was blown to smithereens, and she still refuses to admit it!’

"What gives you the right to talk to us like that? This is the Vaughn Group, our Vaughn Family’s company. You’re an outsider, and a woman at that! On what grounds can you boss us around? So what if our business skills aren’t great? Go on, try and fire one of us!"

Cecelia Archer sat coldly in Damien Vaughn’s chair.

"I’m in no mood to bicker with you. In any case, if your performance targets aren’t met by the deadline, the finance department won’t be depositing your salaries. You two are on your own. I won’t see you out."

His second and third uncles were absolutely livid.

"What right do you have to do that? Even if Damien Vaughn promoted you, you’re just a deputy director in the technical department. Stop our salaries? Do you even have the authority?"

’Cecelia Archer indeed didn’t have the authority. Her current position wasn’t high enough.’
