Chapter 74: Chapter 75

Olivia settled into the driver’s seat, then turned to glance at the entire family, a warm feeling of joy washing over her.

Back at the Larson residence, the children had just finished lunch and were now playing in the amusement park in the residence.

Esther and several serv ants kept a watchful eye on them.

Olivia and Kimberly were in the second-floor study, standing by a floor-to-ceiling window, watching the little ones as they played joyfully.

“Look at how much fun those kiddos are having!” Olivia was already caught up in their joy.

The children were innocent by nature. No matter how unhappy they might feel, they could quickly let go of their troubles.

Kimberly’s gaze followed the little ones’ playful antics, her face glowing with a deep sense of contentment.

A peaceful life was no more than that.

Suddenly, the peaceful silence was shattered by the rapid ringing of a phone. Kimberly frowned, and her expression reflected her displeasure and contempt.

It was already lunchtime, and she couldn’t understand who could be so thoughtless as to call at that hour.

She glanced down and saw that it was Frederick calling. He was well aware of her routine and wouldn’t have called at that hour unless it was a matter of importance.

When she saw Frederick’s name, her mood brightened a bit, and she pressed the answer button.

“Ms. Larson, Mr. Zackery of Zackery Materials Corporation has insisted on meeting with you to offer an apology.” Frederick sounded just as puzzled as he spoke on the other end of the line.

Frederick knew that Patrick wanted to apologize since he had been the one to blacklist Zackery Materials Corporation. It had been a decision of higher authorities, and he had only followed their orders.

Zackery Materials Corporation had served as a long-standing supplier to Larson Corporation for years, and their flourishing in Dellmoor owed much to their affiliation with Larson Corporation.

It seemed that their sustained success had led them to become complacent.

Frederick was well aware of Kimberly’s authoritative presence, having spent. considerable time with her.

She had a simple rule. She didn’t bother others unless they bothered her, but if someone crossed her, she didn’t make it easy for them.

It was clear that Patrick had managed to get himself on the wrong side of Kimberly.

Frederick couldn’t help but be intrigued by Patrick’s audacious behavior. Even if Patrick didn’t know Kimberly was the CEO of Larson Corporation, there was no excuse for his arrogance, particularly when dealing with such a beautiful woman.

‘Wow, I didn’t expect that uncouth man to act so fast, Kimberly thought. A look of disdain crossed her face as she remembered Patrick’s former arrogance and overbearing demeanor.

This person is truly absurd. In this world, there are all kinds of medicines: antihypertensive, painkiller, hematinic… Doesn’t he know there’s no such thing as regret pills?” she mused.

“I’ll give you five minutes to ensure that person disappears from Larson Corporation. He must never set foot in Larson Corporation again.” Kimberly gave the order with unwavering determination, exuding an air of elegance and regal authority, much like an icy beauty queen.

She believed that someone like Patrick could pose a significant risk to the company’s prosperity if he showed up at Larson Corporation.

Frederick immediately notified the security department upon receiving the order. At the same time, he became increasingly convinced of Patrick’s remarkable talent for getting Kimberly stirred up.

A minute later, several guards of the security department had already carried Patrick into the elevator.

Patrick’s pleas seemed to go unanswered in the face of those abrupt, sturdy men.

Patrick realized he had no choice but to cling desperately to William for support at that terrible moment.

He shouted at the top of his lungs, “Let go of me! I demand to see Mr. William Larson!”

However, the reality was that Larson Corporation had undergone significant changes, and everyone recognized only Kimberly. No one knew or cared about William.

The security guards paid him no heed, lifted him out of the elevator, and swiftly drove 1:12 Thu. 15 an him out the company gate.

To prevent him from re-entering Larson Corporation, the sturdy men formed a human barricade.

The spectacle caught the attention of everyone at Larson Corporation. It caused quite a stir.

Patrick from Zackery Materials Corporation was well known to many people.

He had likely taken over Zackery Materials Corporation during William’s tenure, and their close relationship had given him an undeserved air of authority.

As a result, most people tried to avoid him and keep their distance from him.

Numerous female employees harbored a strong aversion to him due to his cun ning demeanor. His lecherous conduct and the way he leered at his attractive female colleagues were genuinely repulsive.

They felt a sense of satisfaction to see him in such trouble.

It reinforced the belief that sooner or later, there would be consequences for wrongdoing. As a result, they wholeheartedly applauded and praised Kimberly for that turn of events.

A colleague on the first floor nonchalantly snapped a photo of Patrick looking. completely defeated and promptly shared it on group chat.

The chat was immediately flooded with a series of celebratory emojis.

One particularly sardonic member even composed a rhyme: [Once the haughty Mr. Zackery, with airs of grandeur, full of glee. Now reduced to a down-and-out, a tale of fortune turned about.]

Meanwhile, Frederick also faithfully reported Patrick’s request to meet with William.

With Frederick’s professionalism and keen intuition, he considered that piece of information to be highly valuable.

Kimberly’s approach was indeed reflected in the matter.

Still, Olivia couldn’t help but see shades of Christopher in it.

“Kimberly, you’ve managed this situation brilliantly. Mr. Zackery was practically inviting trouble,” Olivia remarked, her praise devoid of any exaggeration.

If it hadn’t been for his pushy demand for an apology from Candice and his intention to have her expelled, Kimberly would have been willing to offer him a way out.

Chapter 7.5 Zackery Materials Corporation seemed to have lucked out in avoiding scrutiny during the clean-up of William’s remaining supporters. It appeared they had managed to stay under the radar.

The main reason was that during Cameron’s tenure as the head of Larson Corporation, Tyson Zackery, Patrick’s father, directly supervised Zackery Materials Corporation. He was known for his prudent and relatively honest approach.

That was akin to Zackery Materials Corporation having a “get-out-of-jail-free” card.

Kimberly casually remarked, “I didn’t expect Zackery Materials Corporation to turn out to be such a goldmine for Uncle William. He must have made quite a fortune over the years.

Olivia naturally agreed with her remarks. With her financial and investment knowledge, Olivia was fully aware of the profitability involved in such dealings.

Kimberly quipped, “No wonder Uncle William has so much free time to indulge in antique collecting all day long. It’s quite a lavish pursuit, you know. Just a few days ago, I heard he bought a vase from the Byzantine Empire period at an auction market for a who pping 10 million dollars.”

Olivia pondered for a moment and kindly reminded Kimberly, “This person should undergo a more thorough investigation, and there might be some hidden secrets. These matters are like tumors. The sooner you deal with them, the more essential it is for the company’s growth.”

Kimberly nodded. It appeared that an idea she had been considering for some time was finally taking shape.

“I plan to conduct a comprehensive audit of Larson Corporation. Starting with Uncle. William’s tenure, we will conduct thorough audits of all major collaborative projects. over the past few years.”

Kimberly looked up at Olivia with a serious expression and explained, “Frederick has a very busy schedule, and I can’t assign this task to anyone else. Therefore, I need you, my strategist, to take charge.”

Kimberly often felt that Olivia was an invaluable strategist to her.

She was grateful to have Olivia by her side in the Larson family. Otherwise, she would have felt truly lost.

Olivia was a straightforward person. She was willing to help Kimberly wholeheartedly. What further motivated her was the substantial reward Kimberly provided. Olivia had long since become a wealthy lady herself.

Just as they reached an agreement and exchanged high-fives, a sports car suddenly entered the yard.

The screeching brakes caught the attention of the three little cuties.
