Hearing that the Reeves family had come knocking, Elodie frowned and said, "What's there to panic about? Let them come. I'm busy, just tell them I'm not available."
Just as Elodie finished speaking, a woman's voice rang out from the doorway, "Ms. Reeves, we've come all the way from Harbor City, and now you're saying you won't see us? That's quite dismissive."
The woman's voice carried a hint of provocation and arrogance. Elodie calmly looked at the woman in front of her, who was over thirty and dripping in jewelry, and said, "I thought it was someone important. Turns out it's just Aunt Shannon. Aunt Shannon isn't exactly part of the Reeves family, is she? What brings you here at this time?"
"It's not her who has business with Ms. Reeves; it's us who need to talk to Ms. Reeves!"
The speaker was one of the major shareholders of the Reeves family, followed by other core members of the clan.
Now, they all stood in front of Elodie, glaring at her with anger.
"Ms. Reeves, you said you wanted to expand in Devonport, using so much of the Reeves family's resources. But now, not only have you failed to achieve your goals, but you've also lost the support of the Burke family! This is quite unacceptable to us!"
"That's right! We've come all this way to demand an explanation!"
The Reeves family members were known for their arrogance.
They had never agreed with Elodie becoming the head of the Reeves family. In their eyes, Elodie was just a country girl who came from nowhere.
