Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 628 The following dawn.
Sarah secretly grabbed Shaunâs car key and sneaked into the garage to check the dashcam footage.
Within seconds, she found out he had driven to somewhere called Hackett Institute twice last night.
That same morning, she drove to the same place and grimaced upon seeing Catherine driving out of there.
It was really Catherine.
This was out of her expectations.
What was the problem? She had already hypnotized Shaun to despise Catherine.
It must be Catherine who refuses to stop seducing him.
That b*tch!
â¦
8:30 a.m.
Catherine walked into the company to find Director Irvine, Director Williams, and the other members of the board waiting for her. General Manager Wolfe looked impatient while standing by the side.
âYouâre all early today.â
Director Irvine said after she sat down at her desk, âDo you think we can still sleep well? Three major construction companies that have collaborated with us for many years suddenly canceled their partnerships overnight. More than ten of our construction sites across the world simply canât continue working today. Chairwoman Jones, you sounded as if you were really close with President Hill the other day yet why is it that suddenly, no one wants to collaborate with you?â
âI bet itâs because she offended Miss Neeson yesterday,â Director Williams said angrily, âThose construction companies only worked with us out of respect for Miss Neeson and President Hill. They mustâve heard something was wrong.â
âWhat should we do? The company has lost over ten million dollars after the construction sites had to stop work for the day,â Director Woofe said anxiously.
âThatâs not our biggest problem. The issue is that they want to stop collaborating with us.â Director Irvine appeared flustered.
âWe can always collaborate with other partners,â Catherine replied.
âWhat do you know?â Director Irvine said impatiently, âThe clients only bought these properties because of the construction companiesâ good reputation. Theyâre the best ones in this country. The clients purchased these properties from us because they trust them. Theyâll certainly throw a fit if the companies are replaced. Our corporationâs reputation will suffer when that happens.â
âThatâs right. The only solution now is to seek help from President Hill or beg Miss Neeson for forgiveness.â
Director Williams said, âYou have to sort out this problem you created. Donât get us board members involved.â
âDonât blame us for replacing you if you donât sort this out,â Director Irvine chimed in. âYou canât get upset at us. Weâre only thinking of the corporationâs benefits. A good chairwoman wouldnât get in the way of the corporationâs growth.â
Catherine only looked at them calmly. âDid I say I couldnât handle this?â
âAre you sure you can?â Director Irvine did not sound convinced.
Director Williams hesitated before saying, âPerhaps thereâs a chance. President Hill sounds like he still cares about Chairwoman Jones.â
âI hope youâre not making empty promises,â Director Woofe said in a strange tone. âThe construction sites can only stop working for three days at most.â
âSure.â Catherine nodded.
âThen weâll give you a chance. If the construction companies donât resume working after three days, then weâll replace you as the corporationâs chairperson.â
After sending away the board members, General Manager Wolfe could not help but ask worriedly, âChairwoman Jones, are you really able to handle this? Itâs really serious this time.â
âGet back to work. Iâll take care of this.â
Catherine opened her laptop. Harvey looked strangely at his boss who seemed unusually confident this time around.
Soon, everyone heard the news of Australiaâs three largest construction companies cancelling their collaboration with Hudson Corporation. The next day, the corporationâs shares dropped by eight points.
