The Fake Heiress and Her Purrfect Partner novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231

The Summer Tower had stood in Jelasburg’s long-established commercial district for more than twenty years.

Its exterior bore the marks of time, yet it still carried the unshakable presence of a long-established corporation.

Nina stood outside, looking up at the building she’d walked in and out of countless times, her gaze conflicted.

She headed to the print center first, printing out a thick stack of documents. Then she turned to the person Claire had sent to greet her and instructed, “Please wheel these documents to Conference Room One.”

Meanwhile, inside Conference Room One at Summer Group, all the shareholders, core project members,. and several top consultants specially flown in from overseas had already arrived. They were now waiting for Nina.

The wait was breeding discontent, and the room was thick with murmurs of dissatisfaction.

“We’re all waiting for her? That animal communicator has really changed, acting high and mighty now,” someone grumbled.

“The company is strapped for cash, and she wants two million dollars for her consulting fee? Is she trying to bleed us dry?” another person complained.

“Ms. Summer, why did you agree to Nina’s terms without hesitating?” someone else pressed.

Joanna, sitting at the head of the table, finally spoke up, “She has earned the right to keep us waiting.”

After Joanna spoke, no one dared say another word.

When Claire heard Joanna stand up for Nina, her smug look vanished in an instant. She couldn’t help but frown. The corners of her mouth turned down.

Just then, the conference room door quietly opened.

Nina stepped inside, instantly drawing every eye in the room.

Without hesitation, Nina’s gaze went straight past the others and fixed on Joanna at the head of the table.

Joanna’s skin was fair and smooth. She wore a perfectly tailored pearl-white suit, her neck and ears adorned with softly glowing pearls.

She radiated a refined grace and a subtle glow of luxury, her authority effortless and innate.

As Nina thought about the hardships Tanya endured while fleeing the Summer family’s crackdown, her fingers tightened as she looked at Joanna sitting there, reaping fame and fortune.

When their eyes met, Joanna beckoned her over with a gentle wave. “Nina, long time no see. Come, sit by me.”

Nina strode confidently to the empty seat of honor beside Joanna, sat down, and didn’t look at the disgruntled

shareholders.

Her move made the already resentful shareholders seethe even more.

They had already lost a fortune because of Charles’s cancelled vaccine project and his imprisonment. Now that Joanna, a formidable figure with strong backing, had taken the reins, they might have reservations, but none were willing to challenge her.

But with Nina now down on her luck, they finally had someone to vent their anger on.

An older shareholder was the first to lash out, his tone biting. “Two million dollars for consulting? And you want a share of profits across the board? That’s outrageous.

“The company’s desperate for cash right now. If we give you such a big slice, what’s left for us to earn?”

Another shareholder immediately chimed in, his voice full of disdain. “Ms. Summer, don’t forget your place.

“You’re just a consultant we hired now. You’re not the heiress of the Summer family, so you can’t call the shots like you used to.”

Not bothering to argue, Nina stood up with her stack of documents, ready to walk out. “Want me to leave?”

She sighed and shook her head, a hint of mock regret in her voice. “Well, I even tweaked the dog food proposal for you guys, but it seems nobody here has interest.”

Everyone in the room was left speechless, staring at Nina in shock.

Claire had said the original problematic proposal was only sent over three days ago.

Their elite nutritionist team, who cost them a fortune, had been completely stumped by the problem. But Nina cracked it in just three days.

The shareholders who had been indignant just moments ago suddenly panicked and scrambled to stop her. “Wait, Ms. Summer! Don’t go, please!”

Forget about pride, we just need to recoup our losses!’ one of them thought desperately.

Joanna, sitting at the head of the table, chimed in smoothly, “Nina, since your proposal’s ready, let’s have the nutritionist team review it first.”

Nina finally paused, handing the proposal straight to the chief nutritionist from overseas.

She stood at the head of the table, explaining her approach to the revisions in fluent bilingual speech.

Nina’s logic was razor-sharp, using technical terms with ease and making complex ideas easy to grasp.

The room, which had been buzzing with chatter just moments ago, fell completely silent.

Everyone’s eyes were glued to Nina. She commanded the room with effortless confidence, as if she were the one calling all the shots. It was like she was glowing from the inside out.

Claire’s eyes burned with jealousy as she gritted her teeth.

Once Nina wrapped up her explanation, the nutritionist team started chatting among themselves. They couldn’t stop raving about it.

“This is pure genius! This proposal completely shatters our old mindset,” one of them exclaimed.

“It keeps the core selling point of Celestial Algae. With the new formula and process, the dog food will be easier for pets to digest and absorb,” another chimed in.

When the nutritionist brought up Celestial Algae, Nina looked down, masking her feelings. Celestial Algae was the main selling point Claire had pushed in her original plan.

Celestial Algae was loaded with premium algae protein. Adding it to dog food could promote muscle growth in dogs and is unlikely to trigger allergic reactions.

Across Southeast State and the surrounding areas, Wild Goose Ridge was the only place that produced Celestial Algae in significant quantities.

Back then, Crow was hustling all over, rounding up sick and elderly birds to pocket some headhunter cash.

While he was out recruiting on Wild Goose Ridge, he brought back some classified animal scoop for Nina.
