The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 57 Fame from a Single Battle

There was this saying: "Don't bother trying to convince someone who's got their head buried in the sand." When it came to Preston, Allison felt she'd done everything she could.

She had just sat back down when the cops showed up to haul Mr. Perez away. The guy was so scared he almost peed his pants right there in front of everyone.

All the Bennett Group employees came out to watch the spectacle. Allison stood by the conference room window, watching Mr. Perez get led to the police car. She then turned to the other board members, who quickly sat down, not daring to make a peep. She had dirt on all of them; even if they hated her, they wouldn't dare cross her now.

Allison said calmly, "I know you all probably hate my guts right now, maybe even thinking about getting rid of me so all this evidence disappears."

As she spoke, Allison picked up her phone, hooked it up to the projector, and deleted all the files before formatting her phone. Everyone visibly relaxed.

Allison continued, "As the future chairperson of the Bennett Group, I have just one request: all the funds you've embezzled or misused need to be returned to the company within a week, and we'll call it even. Remember, we're in business to make a profit, not to engage in infighting."

With that, a new project proposal popped up on the screen, and Jonah handed out printed copies to each shareholder.

Allison held up the proposal and started explaining her plan. "This is the first business deal I've brought to the Bennett Group. I've acquired an online gaming company. This subsidiary will handle the design, production, and distribution of new games, and we're organizing three teams to compete in gaming tournaments! The operations will be managed by a postdoc from Celestial University's computer science department..."

After leaving the conference room, Hayden was grinning ear to ear. He knew it; Allison was the real deal!

As for the shareholders, Allison kept them back after the meeting. "Look, I'm just a junior, and some things shouldn't be done by me. I know you're all upstanding folks, but you can't guarantee your family won't cause trouble! Today's incident isn't shameful because I found out about it. But if other departments find out, it'd be a disaster for you!"
