Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 504

Meanwhile, Jimmy started throwing a tantrum after returning to his office. The other board members stood outside, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.

As soon as Raymond came in, a decoration came hurtling toward him as Jimmy shouted, "It was your f*cking idea! Have we found a scapegoat or troublemaker? I've never been this humiliated even when Leroy Crossley was still here!"

Raymond closed the door and approached him. "Mr. Ollander, you said it yourself—times have changed. Back when Mr. Crossley was still here, you were his right-hand man. However, you know his relationship with Miss McKinney. Plus, it's normal for youngsters to only care about the present and not the consequences when dealing with things. Why should you take it so seriously?"

Jimmy sat down in his chair when he was done raging and snorted. "It's only because she has Aidan Pearson backing her. Otherwise, she wouldn't dare speak to me that way even if she had ten times my courage."

"We do have a favor to ask from her. Plus, think of this another way. The more responsibilities she takes up, the more burden she has to carry. When the Crossley Group eventually falls, you can make a clean retreat while she cannot."

"Stop saying all that bullsh*t to me! I'm annoyed by the sight of her and won't come to the office anymore. Whoever wants to take charge can do that."

Raymond smiled. "A new broom sweeps clean. She doesn't have a clear measure of things, which is why she's acting so pretentious. Let's just do our work."

"And how should we do that? She's already involved her people in all the projects. It's not like you don't know how they were kicked out of the Crossley Group. Are you hoping that they will be on our side?"

Jimmy's original plan had been to get Leanna to return and take over the Crossley Group. That way, the bank would give them a loan because of Aidan Pearson. Everyone in charge of the projects would be his lackeys, not to mention that the Crossley Group was on the verge of falling apart already. Some underhanded work coupled with excuses and that money would flow into his coffers. As for how the projects would end up, Leanna would be asked to explain while he could just exit without care. However, her current actions had put a spanner in the works.
