The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 886

Winona found the situation highly suspicious. "The CEO of AeroWing Mobility can't be an idiot. Cirrus Beverages has zero appeal with the younger demographic right now. Unless you completely revamp the product line, a co-branding campaign is going to flop spectacularly. Why would he just throw his money away like that?"

Cheryl explained, "Mr. Hobbs isn't stupid at all. He's got his eyes on Cirrus's manufacturing plants. He owns a highly successful health drink brand, but his current factories can't keep up with the demand, so he wants Cirrus to manufacture the product for him.

"The problem is, Cirrus strictly prohibits manufacturing outsourced health supplements. So, Mr. Hobbs is covering our advertising costs as a backdoor bribe to get access to our production lines.

"If his health drinks ever face a recall or a scandal, Cirrus will take the fall as the manufacturer. He's getting a massive safety net in exchange for fronting an ad campaign. It's a steal for him. And there is zero chance Daisy doesn't understand the liabilities involved. She's pushing this so aggressively because she's definitely pocketing a massive kickback from Hobbs."

Cheryl had originally joined Cirrus to do meaningful work and turn the company around. But with Daisy tearing through the corporate structure, the environment had become entirely toxic. Any practical, growth-oriented proposals Cheryl pitched were instantly vetoed.

Winona realized that if Cirrus got dragged down by whatever shady supplement Mr. Hobbs was selling, reviving the brand later would be nearly impossible.

She offered Cheryl a tactical maneuver. "The root of the problem is Daisy. You need to make the entire executive board lose faith in her. Once they see her as a liability, the AeroWing deal will collapse on its own."

"How do I do that?"

Winona thought for a moment. "I have a specific method in mind. Ironically, it's a move Daisy taught me. You should try it."

Daisy strutted out of her office, only to be met with a brutal, stinging slap across the face.

Before she could even process the shock, Mrs. Hobbs grabbed a fistful of her hair and slammed her roughly against a nearby desk.
