“Who said I’m crying? Something’s gotten into my eyes,” Elspeth sniffled and refuted with a smile.
“Alright. Since you’re denying it, there’s nothing else I can say.” Frank shrugged helplessly.
“So, what crisis is your company facing now?” Jordan cut to the chase.
At the mention of her company, Elspeth felt sorrowful.
“Several companies claimed that our products were not up to standard and ended their collaborations with us. As such, we owe them 50 million now. Moreover, all the companies in Damoria have stopped working with us. Now, our finances are in the red.”
An agitated Frank snapped, saying, “Those useless guys are probably the Alphascape Group’s lackeys!”
“Your company is in trouble, but Callum still isn’t willing to help you. It seems that your relationship with him has failed the test of time,” Jordan said all of a sudden.
Elspeth hung her head low and replied calmly, “There’s nothing between us anymore.”
Jordan thought that he might have saddened Elspeth, so he stopped talking about it. He then consoled her by saying, “Alright. Just get some rest here. If you trust me, you can let me handle your company’s affairs for now.”
“I can’t even save my company, and you’re here to help. Why would I not trust you?”
Elspeth then looked at Harper and ordered, “From now on, Jordan will be the acting president. He’ll handle all the affairs, so just obey his orders.”
“Yes.” Harper was aware of Jordan’s capabilities, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
However, Frank frowned with displeasure. “What about me? I’m here to help too. I can also do something for you!”
“Alright, alright. Both of you will handle the company’s affairs. Why don’t you be Jordan’s assistant, Frank?” Elspeth couldn’t help laughing, for she didn’t expect Frank to be as childish as ever.
Only then did Frank put on a milder expression.
…
The fact that there was a new acting president at the Azure Corporation became trending news instantly. After some digging, people realized that the acting president was no ordinary person; he was from the Carr Family in Blaydal.
They speculated that he might be the Carr Group’s president, Jordan.
However, they soon discovered that Jordan wasn’t the only one helping the Azure Corporation out. There was also Frank, a young master from the Joneson Family.
Everyone was aware of how powerful the Jonesons and the Carrs were.
Furthermore, ever since Jordan took office, the Azure Corporation’s finances had improved significantly. Not only had the company returned to the peak of its power in a short time, but it was also showing signs of achieving even greater heights.
The Carrs had a large cash reserve. Meanwhile, the Jonesons were also one of the wealthiest families in the country.
The smaller companies that had been oppressing the Azure Corporation were flustered. Apart from offending the Azure Corporation, they were now enemies with the Carrs and the Jonesons. How were smaller companies like them supposed to survive?
As such, they promptly sought help from the Alphascape Group. Nevertheless, those from the Alphascape Group were in hot water as well.
After all, they never expected that Elspeth would get help from Blaydal.
They initially thought that without Callum, the Azure Corporation was doomed to fail. It never crossed their minds that Elspeth still had a few more trump cards.
Now, they just wanted to save themselves from trouble, so they didn’t have time to lend those smaller companies a helping hand.
When the presidents of those smaller companies begged for help, those from the Alphascape Group shut them out and pretended that they didn’t know what was going on.
Despite Jordan’s gentle demeanor, he was more ruthless than most people thought.
In just a few days, he managed to destroy several dozen companies.
As a result, no one had the guts to oppress the Azure Corporation again.
