The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)

Chapter 2152 Your Secret

Some time ago, there was a crusade against this pharmaceutical company that was selling fake drugs.

The fake drugs were ineffective on the patients, so the patients from a few hospitals that bought this

drug died because of it.

The hospital was also berated by the public for poor supervision and management.

After that incident, all hospitals boycotted the drugs produced by this company.

Once the investigation was over, this pharmaceutical company lost all its customers. Their source of

income was cut off, and they were about to declare bankruptcy.

Moreover, they might have to compensate the victims.

At this time, Sheldon Corporation’s acquisition of this pharmaceutical company was tantamount to

attracting unnecessary trouble. They might even lose their reputation.

This pharmaceutical company would only drag them down. They also had to pay out a large amount of

compensation.

This was simply a losing business.

Yvette did not believe that the shareholders of Sheldon Corporation did not get any side benefits for

coming up with this proposal.

She took a look at the other project proposal.

It became clear at a glance.

It was an additional investment for the previous project. However, the project in its early stage was not

performing up to standard.

It could even be considered a failure.

Thus, they should cut their losses. Giving that project an additional investment was tantamount to

wasting money.

It was a useless project.

This proposal was put aside for several months, yet it was suddenly brought up again. This made it

hard for Yvette not to speculate about what happened in between.

However, it was too late to get someone to investigate now.

If these two project proposals were approved, Sheldon Corporation’s capital would be affected, and its

image would take a hit.

Yvette looked out at the passing scenery after briefly understanding the situation.

Many passersby and cars hurried past them. The wind also blew in from the window.

She stared out blankly without focus.

Yvette just felt upset.

Her eyes were downcast when she thought about Lance.

Soon, the sadness disappeared without a trace.

Getting through this was most important at this moment.

This hint of bleakness could not dull her colorful life.

Her life would only get better.

Zane looked at her from the front and could only see her side profile.

After a few days of interaction, Zane could feel Yvette’s changes.

Yvette was more reserved, calm, and restrained.

He wondered what Yvette went through when she went missing.

However, Fiona warned everyone in the company that no one was allowed to mention this matter, let

alone ask Yvette in person.

Thus, they just took it as Yvette had gone on a vacation.

When they arrived at the office, Yvette and Zane went upstairs.

They were more than ten minutes late for the meeting, but Yvette did not care.

Before she entered the conference room, Yvette could hear chatter and laughter. Some people seemed

to be having a good time.

However, some were frustrated and dismissed the others, but they were shot back at.

“Ms. Quimbey is here.”

Zane stepped forward to open the door.

Yvette went in and sat in the place where Lance used to sit.

On her left was a middle-aged and fat old man with a full and confident face.

That man was Lance’s uncle, Zeke Sheldon. He was one of the shareholders who took the lead in

proposing the project.

The meeting room was quiet for a moment.

The chatter and laughter stopped abruptly.

The secretary distributed the project proposal to everyone.

Yvette glanced at it.

Zeke did not take Yvette seriously and cut to the chase.

“Yvette, since you’re here, you can just sign the document now. The rest of us have already discussed

it before you came. These two projects will be good for the company, so just sign it.”

Yvette gently flipped over the proposal in front of her, pursed her lips, and said in a calm tone, “One of

these companies has gone bankrupt, and the other is about to go bankrupt. Are these the projects that

the shareholders want to approve?”

The meeting room was silent for a moment.

Zeke glanced at her with a contemptuous gaze.

“You don’t know much. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come back from Cali defeated. Although they

look like they’re bankrupt, they still have the relevant technology and machines. The acquiring amount

doesn’t even cover their machine costs. It’s considered cheap for us to buy it at this price.”

The corners of Yvette’s mouth twitched. “Why would we want those machines? What’s the use of those

machines? Our company’s reputation would go down the drain, and we will be targeted because of this

for being involved with that company that made fake drugs and caused the deaths of numerous

patients. At that time, we will be spending way more on public relations and insurance.”

Someone on the side also could not allow this to happen and said, “Yes, I agree with Ms. Quimbey’s

opinion. This is obviously a pile of sh*t! Why should we clean up someone else’s mess? We can easily

acquire other companies. Why should we get involved with such a company? Isn’t that just asking for

trouble?”

Zeke stared at the person who spoke with a cold gaze.

“You can try acquiring a company at this price. You can’t even buy a single machine with that amount!

They even agreed to give us their formula and technology. Those negative comments aren’t a big deal.

What’s more important is the actual product! Yvette, don’t lose sight of the big picture because of some

minor setback. This is a rare opportunity, and most of the shareholders have agreed to it. You only

need to sign the document.”

“You…” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The person who spoke earlier was livid.

Yvette glanced at them casually with a bit of indifference in her eyes.

Zeke’s eyes were dark as he looked at her impatiently.

Yvette looked at Zeke with deep eyes. Her expressionless face was exuding a chill.

Everyone in the meeting room froze for a moment.

In the next second, Yvette stood up and threw the document in front of her on Zeke’s face.

Everyone was shocked.

Zeke was even more furious because he felt humiliated.

“You…”

Yvette stood up. She was like a porcupine covered in thorns. The anger in her chest burst into flames.

She could not calm down, especially after hearing others insult Lance.

Zeke’s face was glum and furious.

He pointed at Yvette, but he was so angry that he could not speak.

Yvette said this in front of so many people. Back then, even Lance had to respect Zeke.

However, Yvette dared to go against him in public and insult him.

Zeke had been eyeing Lance’s position for a long time.

However, Lance always had a strong grasp of power, so Zeke could only stare enviously.

Zeke finally got this long-awaited opportunity, so he had to show his power.

After all, Zeke was Lance’s uncle, and he thought he had more right to take charge of everything in

Sheldon Corporation than Yvette.

“Yvette, don’t think I don’t know your secret…”
