Chapter 147
Chapter 147 The Outcome When Josh passed me the suppliers’ payment reminders the following day, I secretly got Carol to select a few representatives from the companies on the list and match them with the collected information.
Then, I told Josh to notify all suppliers of a response meeting at Tanum Corporation next Monday.
Josh seemed puzzled.
“Ms.Chloe, what’s your plan for the meeting?” I noticed his eagerness and asked smilingly, “Mr.Josh, what do you think would be the best way to resolve this situation?” He chuckled, not entirely understanding my intentions.
“Ms.Chloe, I’m not sure I follow.
You’re being quite mysterious.” “Haha!” I laughed heartily.
“As if you’ve ever understood me!” He joined in the laughter.
“That’s true!” “I’ve got you figured out,” I teased him.
He blinked, appearing a bit nervous.
“Don’t worry, get back to work.
I have ideas you can trust,” I reassured and dismissed Josh from my office.
Although reluctant, he realized I didn’t care to continue the discussion and left.
Indeed, I had prepared everything.
After all, I could always retreat to my hometown if my gamble failed.
Suddenly, I received a notification from ATL Empire.
They would host a press conference at 6 p.m.
on Sunday at the top floor of Starlight International to announce the new CEO of ATL Empire for the Toradol Headquarters.
The news shook Foswood and all of Torado’s business community.
All companies collaborating with ATL Empire had received invites to the conference.
It was the same day as Matthew had predicted.
Not even half an hour after receiving the notification, Matthew called.
I didn’t avoid it and answered the call.
He sounded smug, saying, “Did my information prove accurate, my dear wife?” I closed my eyes and inwardly cursed his arrogance. “Don’t underestimate me.
I’m not the same man who used to fear breathing in your presence.
You should reconsider.
Besides being with me, you have no other choice.
If you agree to remarry me, I’ll restore Tanum Corporation to its former glory.
“Matthew, you can forget about that.
I will never remarry you, even if I must sacrifice everything.” I replied and hung up the phone.
I stood by my office window and gazed into the distance before calling Atlas.
As usual, it went straight to voicemail.
On Sunday, I took only Carol with me to Starlight International.
However, Ivanna was also there because her media company collaborated with ATL Empire.
I It was the most significant event I had attended.
Starlight International was the biggest and most luxurious hotel in Foswood.
As an international conglomerate, ATL Empire chose this venue to highlight the importance of its announcement.
The attendees were influential figures representing ATL Empire’s partners from Torado.
Since it was a business event, I wore a tailored pantsuit, I entered the hall with Carol without attracting too much attention.
I was just another guest today.
I spotted Matthew as I mingled in the crowd.
He wore a nice suit and seemed confident.
He conversed with a few people as if he were ATL Empire’s new CEO.
When he saw me, he excused himself and approached me.
I hated being unable to avoid him.
Again, I wondered how I couldn’t see how despicable he was before.
“Honey!” He grinned and leaned in to whisper, “Here’s some information for you.
The son of ATL Empire’s chairman is reclaiming his authority.
He’ll manage the business in the Torado region.
We’ll still work together in the future, and it’s a new beginning for our original team.
“After tonight, I will start a new chapter.
I will no longer be just the owner of a small company.” I glared at Matthew.
“I wish you well.” Immediately after, I strode away while he followed like a pest.
“Do you know what’s happening now, Chlo? If you want, I can give you a life of luxury,” Matthew insisted.
I retorted, “You’re overestimating yourself.
You should go home and brag to Melanie instead.
Since she admires you so much, you don’t need to chase after other women.” I continued walking with Carol, and Matthew left his last words, “Don’t be so arrogant. You’ll see the outcome soon!”
