Chapter 14 - Conquest

In the evening, while Eleanor was reading a bedtime story to Freya, Ethan's secretary, Jack Brown, arrived to deliver the information regarding the four companies. She let her daughter continue playing in her room and went downstairs to meet Jack.

Jack was tall and broad-shouldered, with a strong presence that made him look more like a bodyguard than a secretary. As soon as Eleanor entered the living room, he stood up and greeted her with a respectful nod.

Eleanor accepted the folder from him and said, "I might need some help from you. My secretary, Teresa, recently returned from the States, and her network here is still insufficient for my upcoming plans. I hope you'll assist her and provide some guidance. I'll send your number to her later, and she'll call you."

Jack inclined his head slightly. "Understood, Ms. Raynor."

After sending him off, Eleanor went to her study to review the documents on the four companies. For the next half-hour, she meticulously read through the information, taking notes and formulating strategies for each acquisition.

Once satisfied, she picked up her phone and called Teresa. "I'm sending you some photos of the chairman of Sage Enterprise. Apparently, he's having an extramarital affair with another director's wife. By tomorrow morning, as soon as the stock market opens, I want his scandal to be on every news headline. Prepare our buyers... we need to purchase all available shares when the stock price plummets."

She paused momentarily before continuing, "Check your mobile. I've sent you Jack's number. He's Ethan's assistant, and I just spoke with him. If you need any assistance, he'll help."

Teresa's voice was firm. "Understood. I'm on it."

"One more thing," Eleanor added. "Contact Fortune Tech and inform them that I want to have lunch with their chairman tomorrow. If they don't agree, mention that I wish to discuss the matter of Annabel Miller. That should get their attention. Set the meeting at a restaurant near Heimdall Tower so that I can join easily from my office."

After finishing the call, Eleanor sent Ethan a short message: "Thank You."
