After Zade Radcliffe finished speaking, the conference room became lively again.

Corporate giants like the Willson Group would definitely have high standards.

Quella Radcliffe was a new face and had no connections in Five-river Province; it was a miracle that she could attain the position of chairman.

Although her capabilities were unquestionable, she still fell somewhat short in terms of social tact and worldly wisdom.

Quella Radcliffe was well aware of this, so she had been hesitant to make a decision.

The main issue was that the Willson Group had not sent out an invitation, which was a major concern for the Radcliffe Family.

They had been arguing back and forth, and it would be a joke if they ended up not even qualifying in the end.

Just at that moment, someone knocked on the conference room door. It was the manager of the company’s public relations department, who was also Zade Radcliffe’s niece, Zalmon Martin.

Zalmon Martin had been in charge of gathering information about the Willson

Group recently.

“Zalmon, how’s the investigation going?

Seeing Zalmon Martin enter, hope filled Zade Radcliffe’s eyes.

If he could represent Radcliffe Group, it would speed up his return to the chairman’s position. Although he had discussed this with local businesses, due to the fact he and others held no shares, most entrepreneurs were still watching and waiting.

Apart from a few old friends who had explicitly offered support, the others were unwilling to get involved in this troubled situation.

It was precisely because of this that Zade Radcliffe had decided to take a trip to Five-river Province to discuss with the major families.

After all, Julius Reed had offended the Potter Family, and the Golden Eagle Group’s size was more than enough to devour Radcliffe Group!

“I’ve inquired, and many local businesses in Gonzalez City have received the Willson Group’s invitation. This time, the Willson Group seems very eager for everyone to come and celebrate, even the owner of the North City Cement Yard has received an invitation.’

Zalmon Martin said this with an embarrassed look on her face: “But our company has yet to receive one; it’s possible that the Willson Group has forgotten us?”

Upon hearing that even the cement yard owner had received an invitation, the Radcliffe Family was blown away!

“It must be because our chairman is young, which is why the Willson Group looks down on us, or rather, doesn’t trust us!”

“Quella, even though you are now the chairman and hold absolute share control, I still have to say, besides the old man, no one else is suited for this seat!”

“In the past, under the old man’s leadership, Radcliffe Group was still a well-known enterprise in Gonzalez City! Now look at us, we’re not even as good as a cement factory! Where do we put our faces!”

The family members babbled, each turning their guns on Quella Radcliffe. And the employees who were not from the Radcliffe Clan didn’t dare to speak up.

They all knew about the North City Cement Yard, whose scale simply couldn’t compare to Radcliffe Group.

The Radcliffe Group was in the high-tech business, often collaborating with major electronics giants, and now they were humiliated, being considered worse than a cement maker.

“Perhaps the Willson Group, which is a real estate conglomerate, isn’t that sensitive to our high-tech industry!”

Burl Radcliffe leaned back in his chair, frowning: “I’ve already sent people to Five-river Province to work on it; many enterprises should respect my old face and help speak for us. Logically, we shouldn’t have been omitted!”

The fact that the North City Cement Yard had received an invitation was a great surprise to him. The delay in receiving an invitation for the Radcliffe Family was also causing him anxiety.

“Old man, Wooden Technology has already received an invitation,”

Zalmon Martin said somewhat awkwardly: “And their seats are more forward than the cement yard’s. North City Cement Yard only has one seat, near the door. Wooden Technology… has two seats…”

“What!”

Zade Radcliffe asked, widening his eyes: “Are you sure?”

Wooden Technology was a company in Gonzalez City, similar in nature to Radcliffe Group. But in terms of scale, it was significantly smaller than Radcliffe Group.

Years ago, Burl Radcliffe had good foresight and invested in electronics as one of the earliest electronics manufacturing companies in Gonzalez City.

Despite many detours over time, Radcliffe Group, with its foundation and Burl Radcliffe’s relationships, continued to outperform Wooden Technology.

Now that even Wooden Technology had received an invitation, wasn’t Zade Radcliffe’s earlier statement slapping his own face?

“Absolutely certain! The general manager of Wooden Technology and I are friends; just now on my way back, we happened to meet on the road. She also told me that Wooden Technology received the invitation last night. She even asked if we had three seats, wanting to know if we would be seated together…” By the end, Zalmon Martin felt somewhat embarrassed herself.

It was hard to imagine how she had answered in that awkward atmosphere.

“If the Radcliffe Group doesn’t receive an invitation, then we have no face to mingle in these circles!”

“Quella Radcliffe, as the chairman, you represent the company. You must take primary responsibility for this!”

The anger was written on the faces of every member of the Radcliffe Clan present.

“Heh, sister, your husband is very capable, isn’t he? Let him get an invitation if he’s so able! Has he been hiding like a shrinking turtle these past few days?”

Wellington Radcliffe had become even more vicious after being beaten up by Julius Reed.

He had originally thought that by clinging to the Abbott family and winning

Ives Abbott’s favor, he could help his grandfather regain the chairman’s position.

But for some reason, after his experience of being beaten up in the market, the Abbott family actually sent people to warn him and threatened Wellington Radcliffe to stay away from Ives Abbott.

“Enough!”

Zade Radcliffe glanced at Quella Radcliffe and sighed, “I will take care of this matter! No matter what, I will not let the Radcliffe Group lose face!”

After finishing his statement, he didn’t wait for Quella Radcliffe to adjourn the meeting and left with big strides.

The rest of the members of the Radcliffe Clan also stood up one after another and left the conference room in succession.

A minute later, the spacious conference room was left with less than ten people.

These were all people Quella Radcliffe had promoted herself, they were silent, waiting for the chairman to speak.

“Just disperse!”

Quella Radcliffe stood up and said weakly.

This matter had indeed been unexpected. If the group fell to a lower status than Wooden Technology during her term as chairman, it meant she indeed had failed.

This was about the company’s honor, and it would be a laughing stock among peers if it got out.

After leaving the group, Cosmo had already been waiting in the car at the main entrance.

Although the assassins had been lured to Five-river Province by Julius Reed during this period, she did not dare to let her guard down at all. Fortunately, nothing happened on the way and she safely returned home.

“You’re back?”

Just as Quella Radcliffe entered the front door, she heard Julius Reed’s voice.

“Julius?”

At that moment, she swept away the previous gloom, and without even changing her slippers, she ran inside.

She saw Julius Reed busy in the kitchen, while a fragrant smell wafted from the pot.

Quella Radcliffe, who had been troubled by the incident and had no appetite, now felt her stomach rumbling.

“Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”

Quella Radcliffe asked somewhat reproachfully, but her eyes were full of happiness.

“I came back on a whim, wanted to surprise you!”

Julius Reed turned around with a faint smile and walked with two dishes to the dining room.

“It smells so good!”

Quella Radcliffe took a deep breath, and her stomach started growling uncontrollably again.

Julius Reed had lived for many years and naturally knew how to cook countless delicious dishes, after all, cooking was also a way to pass the time.

“Yo! What’s that delicious smell?”

Just then, the door was opened again..
