Chapter 573 Fire Jessica
"Is that a compliment?"
"Of course."
Sophia was in a much better mood after talking to Travis.
"By the way, you haven't given Helena a wedding yet. When are you going to give her one?"
"I came here to talk to you about it," said Travis.
Sophia pursed her lips, "I thought you came here because you were worried about me. It turns out you came for that."
Travis shook his head helplessly.
"Just say what you want to say."
"I have finished preparing the wedding. I need you and Chloe to trick her to the wedding venue."
"Trick?"
Sophia didn't know why he used such a word.
"Well, I want to surprise her."
Sophia could not help but laugh out, "I am surprised. You are really thoughtful sometimes. Don't worry. I will complete the mission well."
She took her brother's happiness as a priority and would definitely do it well.
"Well, here's what I think..."
On the other side, Mr. Stark and his family had recovered, and Mr. Stark had been in touch with Mr. Johns the whole time.
Now all he had to do was to wait for Sophia's order.
Sophia looked at him, "Mr. Stark, let's go back now."
"That's great!"
During this time, Mr. Stark was very grateful to Sophia. Although she got him involved, she could have left him alone.
She had taken good care of him and his family. The feud between them was already gone.
They got into the car and set out for the Cannon Group.
At this time, at the shareholders' meeting, everyone became more and more dissatisfied with Jessica. Before, since she said that Mr. Stark put her in charge, so they didn't raise an objection.
But after she was in charge, she had made the company a mess. All she did was target against Sophia's companies.
If it went on like this, the company would be finished and they didn't want to see that.
So, they started to force her to tell the truth.
"Tell us, where is Mr. Stark? Did he get into an accident, or did you do something to him?"
"Yes, you have to give us an explanation today!"
Mr. Stark had always been nice to everyone, so these people admired and respected him.
Jessica tried to contact Rashad, but recently he didn't answer any of her calls. She had wanted to go to the Riley Group today to ask Rashad what happened.
But she was stopped by the shareholders and couldn't leave.
Looking at them, Jessica felt a sense of powerlessness, as if they would drive her away and kick her out at any time.
But she couldn't lose her position now. She had to stay here and fight against Sophia.
"What do you mean? You don't trust me?" Jessica pounded the table, while looking at Mr. Johns, "Mr. Johns, aren't you going to explain to me what is going on?"
Mr. Johns casually said, "Ms. Greenspan, you made a mistake. I don't know at all what they want!"
"You don't know? You think I would believe you?"
Mr. Johns shook his head resignedly, "Ms. Greenspan, when I was against you, you didn't trust me. Now I do everything for your sake, you still distrust me. What do you want me to do?"
"You..."
Jessica had wanted to say something when she heard him say.
"Well, though you're lucky to get your position, you won't be able to stay here for long without true ability.
"What do you mean?"
Jessica knew he was implying something.
"I mean, you think I instigated them, right? But you should think about what you've done that led to this."
Jessica seemed to understand it and looked at everyone in disbelief.
"You want to remove me from my position?"
Mr. Johns said on behalf of everyone, "We are not trying to do it, but we do want to ask you, when are you going to let Mr. Stark back?"
Everyone echoed Mr. Johns.
"Yes, if you keep imprisoning Mr. Stark, we'll turn you to the police!"
"Release Mr. Stark now!"
"Let him go!"
Jessica looked at these people, she had thought that she had gotten them under control, but she didn't know they would rebel at such a critical moment.
Most importantly, why hadn't Rashad called her back? She really needed his help now.
Mr. Johns said again, "Jessica, please let Mr. Stark go. If you released him, we will consider forgiving you."
"I..."
Jessica didn't know what to say.
At this moment, a group of people came.
Mr. Stark was in the lead.
"Jessica, it's been a long time."
Jessica shivered and soon walked up to him.
"Mr. Stark, you've done dealing with your private affairs? That's great. They might eat me alive if you didn't come back."
Jessica was still feigning innocence even till now.
Everyone else was very happy to see Mr. Stark back.
"Mr. Stark, you're finally back!"
"Yeah, Mr. Stark, what happened? Why didn't you tell any of us?"
"Mr. Stark, if you need anything, tell us and we will come to help."
"Yes, Mr. Stark. We are all friends."
Mr. Stark was deeply moved. Even after the crisis, they still treated him like a friend.
He looked at them, smiled and said, "It's all right. This time, thanks to Ms. Lawson. If not for Ms. Lawson, I would not have stood safely here today."
Jessica hurried over, "Mr. Stark, what happened? You told me to manage the company for you, but you didn't tell me anything else. Were you in trouble?"
Mr. Stark looked at Jessica.
Jessica had an uneasy feeling.
But at such times, she had to keep it together, or she would be doomed.
"Don't you know what happened to me? And, did I ask you to manage the company for me?"
Everyone looked at Jessica.
Jessica said in a flattering tone, "Mr. Stark, you must be joking now, I admit that I didn't do well in the job and brought loss. But I did want to help you."
"Help me? Everyone knows that if I really needed someone to manage the company for me, I would go to Mr. Johns, not you."
"Mr. Stark..."
Mr. Stark sneered, "Jessica, your days here are over. Now that I'm back, you are no longer needed here. You are fired!"
