Chapter 216: Chapter 215 The Dispute of the Board of Directors 1

Translator: 549690339

The news that Willson Building had been entered by a mysterious tycoon from Baodao spread quickly, as if someone had deliberately leaked the information, claiming that this wealthy businessman was staying in the dedicated hotel on the 21st floor of Willson Building.

The speed at which the news spread was astonishing, and in less than half a day, the entire Five-river Province was well aware of it.

Even Quella Radcliffe, who was far away in Gonzalez City, received the news and asked Julius Reed whether their Radcliffe Group needed to send someone over.

Such a significant event was something no businessman wanted to miss.

Of course, Quella Radcliffe was unaware that her husband was actually the behind-the-scenes owner of Willson Building, so Julius Reed directly asked her to come over.

The two had been apart for some time and missed each other to some extent.

Julius Reed, who claimed to have seen through the vanity of life, had also reclaimed the joy of living during these three years of amnesia.

But what he didn’t know was that during his absence from Gonzalez City, the power of Zade Radcliffe and others showed signs of resurging from the ashes.

The elder of the Radcliffe family first tried to persuade with emotion and moved them with courtesy, playing heavily on the sentiment card.

Finally, after the married couple Burl Radcliffe made a scene with crying, making a fuss, and threatening to hang themselves, Quella Radcliffe eventually agreed to Otis Radcliffe and Zade Radcliffe’s return to the company.

She kindly believed that after experiencing so much, the grandfather and grandson should feel grateful. After all, the compensation they received for working here was very generous.

But human greed knows no bounds, and Zade Radcliffe had already sent Otis Radcliffe to contact other local enterprises, ready to seize power at the opportune moment.

And within the Radcliffe family, upon seeing the return of the elder, they had begun to gradually sideline Quella Radcliffe, complying entirely with Zade Radcliffe’s commands at work.

They even went to great lengths to flatter Otis Radcliffe.

Originally, the grandfather and grandson had some reservations at the start, but seeing the mysterious disappearance of Julius Reed for such a while, they began to grow bolder in their hearts.

But what they didn’t know was that after receiving a message from Black Dog passed on from the Leopold Family, Julius Reed had already taken a helicopter prepared by Miguel Abbott and hurried back to Gonzalez City.

In his heart, nothing was more important than the safety of Quella Radcliffe.

Meanwhile, the Shadow Warriors from her previous husband in Five-river Province had not noticed Julius Reed’s departure. After seeing their fellows disappear one by one, they too became more cautious.

At that moment, at the board meeting of the Radcliffe Group, there was incessant debate over who should attend the Willson Group’s banquet in Five-river Province.

Burl Radcliffe and others believed that the highly respected elder of the Radcliffe family was the only one suited to represent the Radcliffe family, apart from him, no one else could.

Quella Radcliffe’s trusted proteges, naturally hoped that the young new chairman would take the forefront.

The two sides had been arguing from the start of the meeting, and by noon, no resolution had been reached.

“Quella Radcliffe, although you are the current chairman, everyone knows in their hearts that you do not represent the Radcliffe family! Our Radcliffe Group was built single-handedly by grandfather and he poured his heart into it. Only his presence would be the most appropriate!”

Otis Radcliffe had no trace of gratitude towards Quella Radcliffe for allowing him to return to the company, on the contrary, he was filled with resentment.

In the past, he was the general manager. But now, he was merely a minor department head. The manager had been replaced by someone Quella Radcliffe trusted immensely, and they verified his expense claims repeatedly.

This undeniably caused Otis Radcliffe’s personal coffers to begin to see deficits; his usual lavish spending habits were unsustainable on his current salary!

“Otis Radcliffe, you are now merely a department head, please correct your attitude when speaking to the chairman! The establishment of Willson Group is imminent, and such a grand occasion calls only for the chairman to represent us. Though elder Burl Radcliffe is highly respected, he is nonetheless of advanced age, and the company needs fresh blood, fresh faces!”

Dempsey Davenport, Quella Radcliffe’s newly promoted finance director, countered Otis Radcliffe’s remarks with her own opinion.

She and Quella Radcliffe were classmates, and after returning from studying abroad, she worked for a real estate company in Gonzalez City. Following Quella Radcliffe’s successful rise to power, she was determined to place her own people.

Thus, upon becoming the chairman, she poached Dempsey Davenport with a high salary to occupy the most crucial position.

After Dempsey Davenport became the financial director, she was incredibly strict with the financial auditing of the Radcliffe family members, preventing any chance of false accounting or embezzlement.

Accordingly, she became one of the most despised figures in the clan, second only to Quella Radcliffe.

Although the company was thriving day by day, these members of the Radcliffe clan were not having an easy time.

“Dempsey Davenport! You’re just an outsider, how dare you give orders to the old master! Even Quella Radcliffe wouldn’t dare speak to the old master in such a way!”

Wellington Radcliffe slammed the table violently and pointed at Dempsey

Davenport, “Even though this is about the company, strictly speaking, the Radcliffe Group is a family business! So, as an outsider, it’s not your place to comment on our affairs!”

“You! Wellington Radcliffe! This is a company, not your house!”

Dempsey Davenport stood up and stared intently at Wellington Radcliffe, “Stop spewing your family theories here! The chairman has said more than once, a business is a business, a family is a family! As long as one works within the group, one must follow the rules and regulations here!”

Dempsey Davenport had always opposed the return of the Radcliffe family members to the company.

After finally driving these people away and starting to take control of power, how could she let them come back so easily?

But Quella Radcliffe was sentimental, and no matter what, that was ultimately her grandfather and brother. They shared the same blood, how could she watch them being driven out of the company?

Furthermore, with the wailing and pleading from those two at home, Quella Radcliffe really had no choice.

If she truly decided to harden her heart and refuse, she feared it would chill the hearts of many within the company.

After all, under Zade Radcliffe’s leadership, most of these people were members of the Radcliffe clan.

Now that the company’s founder had been expelled, Quella Radcliffe’s own position was also unstable.

“Enough! Stop arguing!”

With a cough from Zade Radcliffe, the meeting room instantly fell silent.

To Dempsey Davenport, this scene was even more infuriating.

The chairman’s words didn’t carry as much weight as Zade Radcliffe’s, how would she manage the company in the future?

“Ladies and gentlemen, it’s not that I, the old master, want to show off on this occasion! You all are well aware that the people who go to congratulate the Willson Group will not be few in number!”

Zade Radcliffe slowly lifted his head and addressed the people in the meeting room, “The entire Five-River Province, even the local major enterprises have to scramble to pay their respects. One can imagine just how many people will be at that banquet!”

After hearing his words, everyone nodded in agreement.

The Willson Group’s sudden strong emergence would usually prompt the lar financial consortia in Five-River Province to suppress it to stabilize the alre established situation.

But now, instead of banding together to resist, they were even starting to curry favor with this mysterious tycoon, a clear sign of the immense power the owner behind the Willson Group possessed.

Everyone held their breath, eager to hear what Zade Radcliffe would say next.

“You, Quella Radcliffe, can go, but with such a young age and no connections, do you really think you’ll be taken seriously?”

Zade Radcliffe shook his head and said, “After all, I built the Radcliffe Group from the ground up, and over the years, I’ve developed quite a network of contacts in Gonzalez City. With some maneuvering, perhaps an opportunity could arise..”
