The Unbreakable Bond (Rosalind and Leonardo) novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164
“We got a problem, Mr. Brooks. The video has gone viral on the internet and many people are saying that they’ll boycott our products if we insist on Amanda being our design consultant,” said Jacob.
“You know what to do.”
For Leonardo, public opinion could always be handled with money. Such a trifling matter was not worth his attention.
“I can deal with the negative comments on our company, Mr. Brooks, but the shareholders are all here and they are arguing in the meeting room, saying that our cooperation with Amanda must be terminated. immediately. You should check this.”
Jacob couldn’t face the shareholders on his own. He was just a secretary.
Leonardo frowned and his face darkened.
“No offense, Mr. Taylor, but Leonardo is too young to handle things properly. The design consultant he invited over not only didn’t benefit. the company but also caused a lot of trouble. She almost ruined the reputation of the Brooks Group.”
“As the second-largest shareholder of the Brooks Group and one of the best friends of Mr. Richard Brooks, Mr. Taylor, you have to tell Leonardo- to terminate the cooperation with Amanda.”
“Exactly. Many customers now have a big problem with Amanda and they said that they’ll never buy the Brooks Group’s products if we keep cooperating with her. Customers always come first. We can’t go against the majority…”
Some shareholders kept complaining to Sean Taylor about Leonardo and Rosalind, just like little kids complaining to their dad about being bullied.
“Calm down, guys. I just came back from abroad and I haven’t got familiar with the current situation of our company, but you should know that Leonardo is a smart and sophisticated businessman, so I don’t think you need to be so worried.”
Sean sat next to the boss’s chair, smiling softly and looking like a kind old
man.
He was Sean Taylor, the second-largest shareholder of the Brooks Group.

Unlike those anxious shareholders, Sean was trying to defend Leonardo.
“You anot
know, Mr. Taylor. Because of this new design consultant, our company’s stock has dropped to the limit several times. If this goes. on, our loss will only increase sharply. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible.”
“Is that true, Jerome?”
Scan looked at Jerome in shock as if he didn’t know anything about the current situation of the Brooks Group until just now.
Jerome seemed to have guessed that his father would ask him so he nodded with a serious look.
“Yeah, Dad. Our company has been having a lot of problems since Amanda came here. I want to do something about it, but I’m just a production control director who can do nothing to help. I’m sorry.”
As Jerome spoke, he bowed to the shareholders with regret.
“It’s not your fault, Jerome. You have done everything
I can. We all know that Leonardo is a stubborn boy who never listens to anyone. Now we have Mr. Taylor here, and I’m sure he can convince Leonardo as his elder.”
“Yeah. The Brooks Group’s fate is no joke.”
“I agree…”
Other shareholders echoed.
At this moment, Leonardo strode in. He raised his eyebrows when he saw Sean being surrounded by the others.
“No wonder those shareholders dare to come here to pick on me. It turns out that they have someone to back them up,” he thought.
Leonardo took a glance at them and sat down in the boss chair directly with an indifferent look.
“Wow. What day is it today? Why is everybody here?”
Leonardo was playing innocent.
Everyone looked at each other, saying nothing. None of them wanted to be the target, so they turned their heads at Sean.

Sean lowered his head slightly. Although he didn’t look at them, he still. felt their gaze, so he raised his head slowly and smiled at Leonardo.
“I just came back, Leonardo. I heard that the company has been having problems recently.”
Sean smiled so kindly, making himself an elder who cared a lot about the younger ones.
“Really? But I heard nothing. Since you just came back, are you sure you didn’t mishear, Mr. Taylor?”
Leonardo glanced at Sean with a meaningful smile.
However, Sean remained calm and peaceful even though Leonardo appeared so arrogant in front of him.
“I just got the news that the Brooks Group is cooperating with Amanda of BUT Group. The thing is, although a large company like BUT Group can bring a lot of benefits to our company, Amanda doesn’t seem to have a good reputation.
“Especially recently, she is said to have been arrogant and wantonly bullied her subordinate, resulting in that poor man’s family being disabled and living in poverty. Her evil deeds have aroused public anger. People like her should not be allowed to continue working in our company.”
Hearing this, Leonardo looked at Sean with a sneer.
“These are all rumors on the internet. Someone in our company stole the design and sold it privately for a profit, so I fired her. It’s fine that the outsiders know nothing about the truth, but you guys are different. Are you all blind?”
Those shareholders knew that Leonardo was defending Rosalind.

Hearing this, Sean’s eyes sparkled with a grim face and he said in a serious tone, “Calm down, Leonardo. Even though we have misunderstood Amanda, she, as the design consultant of the Brooks. Group, did go her own way and offended the customers. Whether she is. wronged or not, she has had a very negative impact on our company. You have to admit that.”
“Cut the cr ap, Mr. Taylor. You didn’t just come all the way back from abroad to tell me that, did you?”

Chapter 164
Leonardo had had enough of Sean.
However, Leonardo had to admit that the incident did have a negative impact on the Brooks Group this time, but it wasn’t because of Rosalind’s wrong behavior, but because of the man behind the curtain.
“You’d better terminate the cooperation with Amanda now. Besides, we have our design team and it is known to all that Ms. York is a very good designer. We don’t have to hire another one. Even if the Brooks Group doesn’t care about the cost, it should not spend money on unnecessary things.”
What Sean meant by that was that Leonardo was wasting money at the expense of the interest of shareholders.
“Terminate the cooperation? No way!”
Without any hesitation, Leonardo denied Sean’s proposal directly.
Unexpectedly, Sean didn’t get angry. Instead, he became more earnest, sounding like an older person advising a younger one.
“Don’t be so childish, Leonardo. This is about the Brooks Group and the interests of all shareholders. As the CEO of the Brooks Group, you should think twice for everyone.”
Although Sean sounded gentle, he had made his point very clear.
Leonardo was no fool and he understood what Sean was talking about immediately.
