Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Ignoring Kent, Heather said to Mr. Hayes, “Mr. Hayes, I’ll leave this matter to you. I’ll claim all my rights and interests.” “Yes, Heather,” Mr. Hayes immediately replied. Heather stood up to her feet. Kent was even more anxious. “Heather, Heather, you can’t just listen to one side of the story. Think about how difficult it was for me all those years. Back then, I did my best to raise Annalise…” Heather turned around and gazed at Kent coldly. “Do you know what the first thought that flashed through my mind when I regained my memory?” “What is it?” Kent asked curiously. Heather said, “When I saw Annalise grow up to be such a wonderful girl, the first thought that flashed through my mind was that I must repay you. I’ll give you all of Moonlight Group, and I’ll also give you Xander Group projects. I want you to become the top tycoon of Horington…” Kent listened with mixed feelings and regret. If he could put back the clock, he would definitely treat Annalise better than his daughter. He immediately said shamelessly, “Heather, I was also bewitched by that fortune-teller back then. Can you give me another chance…” Heather snorted. “I’ll give you a chance if you treat me badly. Unfortunately, that’s my daughter we’re talking about. You abandoned her when she was a six-year-old child and didn’t have any ability to support herself.” The air around Heather was cold and heavy. She said to Lee, “Lee, let’s go.” Lee immediately left with Heather. Kent chased after her. “Heather, Heather, we’re siblings. Have you forgotten what Mom told us when she was dying? She told us to love each other no matter what happens.” Heather snorted coldly without even turning around. Kent chased after them. Mr. Hayes said, “Mr. Barton, let’s go through the procedures. Some documents may require your signature.” Kent was filled with anger. He didn’t dare to vent it on Heather and Lee, but he could vent in on the lawyer. Kent bared his teeth at him and roared, “You’re a traitor. Am I not good to you? Huh? You’ve been my legal adviser for 17 years. You betrayed me.” Mr. Hayes said calmly, “Mr. Barton, I’m just doing my part.” Kent glared at Mr. Hayes with reddened eyes and snapped, “Get lost, get lost!” He would never sign a document. That house was going to be demolished soon. If he got the money, Kent would move to another city. Anyway, his family was broken up now. Abbie and Bethany were both in jail. After he received the compensation, he might have a chance to make a comeback if he moved to a small city. In the end, his plan went up in smoke. The next day, Mr. Hayes went to file a case. The court sealed the house that was going to be demolished. Kent was burning with anger after receiving the notice. Slapping the table and smashing cups at home, He cursed Heather for being heartless. It would have been better if she had died 17 years ago. On the other side. Blake Corporation also started work. Jared had a deep foundation in Blake Corporation. Besides, he promised core staff some benefits in private, so he got support from them. After Preston inherited 60% percent shares of Blake Corporation according to his grandmother’s will, he held a shareholder meeting to prepare in an attempt to change the articles of association. However, it did not go smoothly. Preston held 60% of the Blake Corporation shares, making it reasonable for him to be the president of Blake Corporation. Everyone was arguing over whether president should be filled by Preston or Jared. Preston’s request to serve as the president of Blake Corporation as a major shareholder was opposed by minority shareholders and company executives. And they contradicted everything Lianne said. Today was the first day of work after Christmas. Preston held a share the first quarter of work. Before Christmas, Preston had already instructed them to prepare the annual plan and the first quarter plan. In the end, when asked, everyone said that the plan was in their heads. Jared never asked them to write these plans which were believed to be written, paper-based, boastful, and unrealistic things. Lianne, who had been cold and calm, felt suffocated as if something was pressing down on her chest seeing the way the shareholders treated Preston. She was seethed with anger. Preston, however, was much calmer. He said frostily, “Every manager has their ways of managing the company. Now, I’m in charge of Blake Corporation and I call the shots. Just do as I ask.” “Well, I can’t do it. Plans can’t keep up with changes. So when I carry out a plan, should I follow the plan or change?” said Hagen, the executive vice president, raising his hand lazily. He was Michelle’s younger brother, so of course he wouldn’t support Preston. As soon as Hagen raised his hand to object, a group of people immediately echoed, The business director said, “Mr. Blake, there are so many unpredictable fluctuations. We can’t make a plan. Well, if you need these empty things, I can make a beautiful plan, but it’s unknown how much we can complete.” The PR manager said, “Mr. Blake, we’re only in charge of public relations and socializing. How do you want us to plan? Should I plan how many social activities we have every week? To put it bluntly, the public relations department is like a bar girl. Does a bar girl know how many times a day she receives guests?” Lianne was so angry that his chest heaved. Preston’s sharp eyes flickered over everyone as he asked coldly, “Does this mean that you can’t make a plan?” Many people threw up their hands and said, “Yes.” Preston said, “Very good. Raise your hands if you think you can’t do it. Ms. Tina, record it!” Many people raised their hands in unison. In any case, Preston couldn’t do anything about them if they stuck together. If only one or two of them raised their hands, Preston might consider firing. them. If 90% of them did not cooperate, could Preston fire them all? Seeing that there were many people raising their hands, they became even more fearless. Lianne secretly clenched her fists. She was really worried for Preston. This situation was disadvantageous to them. Preston looked at those who did not raise their hands. There were pitifully few of them. Among more than 30 people in the meeting, only four did not raise their hands. Preston asked, “Since you didn’t raise your hands, can you make a plan?” They nodded and said, “Yeah.” They had not been in the company for long, and they were not in charge of the core departments. Jared didn’t think highly of them, so he did not try to rope them in privately. Preston nodded. “Very good. Then please write the proposal as soon as possible.” He then announced loudly, “Those who can write the proposal as requested will have their salaries increased by 50% from today onwards.” Upon hearing this, the eyes of the four people who did not raise their hands lit up. Although they had only joined the company for a short period of time, they were company managers with annual salary at least 120,000 dollars. With a 50% increase in salary, who wouldn’t be excited to have more than 60,000 dollars in a year? Preston looked around again and saw that among the people who had raised their hands earlier, quite a few were tempted with bright eyes. He then announced loudly, “As I said before, every manager has their own way of managing the company. Those who are willing to spend time and effort to adapt to my management model can come to my office to talk to me about how to write the proposal after the meeting. Your salary will also increase by 50%. Dismissed!” With that, Preston got up and prepared to leave the conference room. However, Jared stood in front of him…
