Chapter 336:

Eileen cleared her throat to make her voice sound steady.

“Postpone the meeting for half an hour.”

Dalares nodded quickly and turned to head out.

In the hallway, she ran into Benjamin, who was on his way to meet Eileen. She gestured towards the VIP lounge. “Mr. Nash, Curtis postponed the meeting by thirty minutes. She’s still inside.”

“Alright, you can go on with your tasks,” Benjamin replied, holding a document as he made his way towards the VIP lounge. When he entered, Eileen had composed herself.

He placed the document on the table and settled into the chair recently vacated by Stella.

He said, “Seeing us dining with Mr. Dawson on the news, I figured Stella would do something.”

Eileen leaned back in her chair and looked at him. “It’s easy for you to say that in hindsight.”

“I didn’t mention it before because of your relationship with Mr. Dawson. I didn’t want it to seem like I was meddling,” Benjamin explained, pausing briefly. “The Apex Group is still struggling. Brandon is chasing investments everywhere, and Zola is almost forced to sleep with investors for that.”

The topic had shifted to something Eileen wasn’t interested in. She said casually, “The capable ones won’t touch the Dawson family drama, and the rest won’t matter. If Zola is really doing that, she’ll burn out before she raises enough money.”

It was clear they needed to find numerous small investors, and that would be hard for them.

Benjamin chuckled softly at her blunt comment. “Stella’s visit didn’t seem to shake you much,” he said.

“I’m not letting it affect my work. If anything, it pushes me to work harder. Let’s get going,” Eileen said, rising to her feet. She made a quick stop at her office to gather the necessary materials before rounding up the executives for the meeting.

Among them were Kaysen’s people, who strongly opposed the idea of acquiring Warren Group.

“Putting all of Ferguson Group’s recent profits into acquiring Warren Group now? What if it goes south? Who will take responsibility?”

“Exactly. Considering our company’s recent struggles, it might be wise to play it safe,”

Several people voiced their concerns, causing many to waver.

Eileen slammed the document onto the table and stood up. She scanned the room with a determined gaze. “Do I need to remind you how quickly fortunes can change in this business? Name a successful company that didn’t take bold steps. Success requires taking risks. If we execute this properly, the odds will be in our favor.”

“Oh, so that confident, Ms. Curtis?” one person scoffed. “Then you’ll take full responsibility if this doesn’t pan out.”

“Fine,” Eileen replied, her voice laced with determination. “Then you don’t have to participate in the acquisition. If we win, you’ll have to watch us enjoy the profits. If we lose, I’ll take full responsibility.”

Her words hung heavy in the room, momentarily silencing everyone.

Benjamin was visibly surprised. Eileen wasn’t risking Ferguson Group’s future; she was putting her own on the line.
