Chapter 149
Chapter 149 At Daggers Drawn When Monday arrived, I had many matters to handle and people to meet.
When I reached my office, I noticed how quiet it was I even wondered if I had got off on the wrong floor Despite the dark circles around his eyes. Josh knocked and entered my office with a smile.
“Ms.Chloe, will the meeting start on time today?” I “Of course, why wouldn’t it be?” I replied while observing his expression.
I couldn’t help but wonder why he was so excited He said.
“Great, then I’ll inform the rest I entered the large meeting room at ten o’clock.
People were in a heated discussion, demanding I settle accounts today Before the meeting I invited Adrian to come.
After taking over Tanum Corporation, I signed an engagement agreement with him.
He was my personal lawyer and the company’s legal counsel.
Josh was presiding over the meeting trying to ease the tension among the crowd.
When he saw me, he introduced me to those present.
I glanced at the people in the room, who looked like they were glaring at a common enemy.
The leader among them asked, “Ms.
Chloe, can we finally resolve our issues today? We’ve been waiting here for days and have spent much on food and accommodation” “Did Matthew send you here? Then, you can ask him to reimburse your expenses! Why bother me?” I retorted, staring at the person speaking.
He shouted at me, “What did you say?! Can’t you see we can’t keep tossing the ball back and forth like this? You two are divorced, and it’s your problem, so stop playing with us.
Now that you’ve taken over, settle the accounts and stop wasting our time!” The others chimed in like clowns, and I felt like I was in a circus.
Meanwhile, Josh carefully assessed the situation styly.
After another rude man finished insulting me, I couldn’t take it any longer.
I slammed the table and stood up to glare at them.
Even my employees were shocked.
Do you think I’m a pushover?! You’ve been dealing with Matthew in everything, yet you come to collect debts from me?! I pointed at Josh.
Either he didn’t explain things well enough, or you thought I was an easy target.
Tve been in this business for a long time and uphold integrity and commitment.
However, that’s only for My sudden retaliation shocked everyone, and they exchanged puzzled glances.
“I thought I could still work with all of you by reclaiming Tanum Corporation.
I never expected such misconduct from you.
I do not associate with individuals who have skewed values.” Unable to bear the situation, someone became furious and questioned me, “What do you mean?!” Facing the standoff, I knew no one would leave this meeting room if I didn’t acknowledge their claims
