"Yvonne, what's going on?"
"Did Charles Wellington come back?"
"Did you ask him?"
Yvonne Logan who had returned to her bedroom, opened her computer, and was video chatting with her two best friends on Whatsapp.
On the other end of the video, Gwen Ryder was anxiously asking about what happened at the Royale Hotel tonight.
All the guests in the hotel were forced to leave, but Charles and his group walked in arrogantly.
This made Gwen to panic. After all, she had made things difficult for Charles before, and she was afraid that he might be a hidden big shot.
In the video, Sara Owen was wearing a pink pajama, blinking her big eyes curiously and also showing interest in the matter.
"I asked him, and Charles said..."
Yvonne briefly described Charles's answer.
Gwen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"So he went to make some extra money. I knew it. How could that dirty and uneducated country bumpkin know those big shots like Mr Samuel Reed?" Gwen sneered.
But Sara Owen didn't think so.
"I don't think so. To me I think Charles Wellington is not an ordinary person. Don't you think he might be deliberately hiding something?"
"Don't be ridiculous. With his cowardly appearance, he doesn't look like an extraordinary person at all. Come on Sara, you don't know that on his first day at work, he was beaten up by the security guards in our company and sent to the hospital. He didn't dare to say a word and even bought gifts to flatter them." Gwen said looking down on Charles.
On the other hand, Sara didn't say anything, she just remembered the scene at the Luxe lounge that night, where Victor LaGraine was kneeling in front of Charles Wellington begging for mercy.
She felt that Charles was becoming more and more mysterious.
"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. The board meeting is tomorrow, on Monday. I hope Mr Kenneth Reed can bring good news from his side." Yvonne said.
What Yvonne cared about most was still the company's affairs.
If the issue of the bank's loan cannot be resolved in time, she, as the CEO of the conglomerate, will definitely be at a loss at the board meeting tomorrow afternoon.
"Don't worry. Gerald has already assured you, don't you believe in the Reed family, let alone believe in your old classmate?"
"Also, Yvonne, Gerald Wayne obviously likes you. I think you should consider it, take this opportunity, and be with him and win over this diamond bachelor." Gwen instigated.
However, Sara was surprised.
"Ah...what about Charles Wellington?"
"Sara, why do you mention that country bumpkin? You're such a killjoy." Gwen rolled her eyes at Sara.
Yvonne also was not in the mood to discuss matters of the heart, so she perfunctorily responded and shut down her computer to rest.
No words were exchanged that night.
The next day, Yvonne Logan and her father didn't even have breakfast because they were concerned about the company's situation, and rushed to the company.
Throughout the morning, Yvonne closely monitored the movements and attitudes of major banks in Orange county city.
During this period, she even personally called several banks to inquire about the possibility of obtaining a loan.
However, the results were the same as last week, all of them refused to provide loans on the grounds that Logan Group lacked qualifications.
"Why is it still like this?"
"Didn't the Reed family say they could settle everything for us this morning?"
Yvonne began to worry. The situation in the company was already very bad, with production even coming to a halt. Previously, the company had about one or two million in its accounts, but last night they gave one million to Kenneth Reed. If the bank loan didn't come through soon, her group's financial chain would be completely broken and they wouldn't be able to last even three days.
"Yvonne, don't panic, call Gerald and ask him."
Gwen suggested to Yvonne.
Yvonne wasted no time and immediately contacted Gerald Wayne.
"Yvonne, don't worry, Mr Kenneth Reed is probably busy and hasn't had time to deal with this yet. I'll call to remind him. I'll make sure this is taken care of before the board meeting."
Gerald promised confidently over the phone.
After hanging up with Yvonne Logan, Gerald Wayne immediately called Kenneth Reed.
"Huh? It's switched off?" Gerald Wayne was taken aback. He then scrolled on his phone and found Kenneth's secretary's phone number through his connections.
After some minutes.
"What? You can't contact Mr Reed either?" Gerald Wayne began to panic.
What the hell was going on? How could they not contact him? Did Kenneth Reed run away with that one million?
The morning passed quickly. In the afternoon, there were less than two hours left until the board meeting at three o'clock. There was still no movement from the bank.
The Logan Group was still under financial blockade.
As the board meeting was about to begin, Yvonne Logan contacted Gerald Wayne again to inquire about the situation.
But Gerald Wayne only said to wait a little longer, and eventually stopped answering her calls altogether.
Finally, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the board meeting officially began. At this point, Yvonne Logan and her father were like prisoners awaiting execution, heading towards their doom.
...
"Captain Charles, something big has happened" Wallace Thompson said as he, Leonard Jefferson, and the others as they rushed into the security department's activity room.
"Oh, really. And what's that?" Charles Wellington smiled faintly, not particularly concerned.
"CEO Yvonne Logan is finished!" they exclaimed.
"Due to her poor decisions, the company's funding chain has been broken, and we won't even be able to pay our salaries. The new general manager, Zachary Logan, has already publicly announced that he will kick CEO Yvonne Logan out of the company's management today. The board meeting has already started. It looks like the Logan Group is really going to change hands now."
Although the Logan Group had two founders, since its inception, the actual controller of the company had always been the Patrick Logan family. As for Dennison Logan, due to his limited abilities, he had always been excluded from the company's management. But now, who could have imagined that just a few months after the passing of Yvonne's grandfather, the group's power would be slipping away from their grasp.
Wallace Thompson and his colleagues sighed with emotion, while Charles just chuckled and said.
"Why panic? Just wait until the end, who knows what the outcome will be?" Charles was not worried at all.
Just as he finished speaking, Wallace Thompson received a call from Gwen Ryder, asking the security department to bring people to the entrance of the conference room immediately.
"What happened?"
"Did something go wrong?"
"Did the directors start fighting?" Leonard Jefferson and the others were curious.
But Wallace Thompson shook his head and said.
"No. It's Marcel Tristan Ridge from Tristan Group. He and several others broke into the company. Manager Gwen asked us to go and stop Marcel Tristan Ridge."
Upon hearing this, Leonard and the others turned pale.
"Damn it!"
"What is Tristan Group doing here?"
"Are they here to cause trouble?"
"What a coincidence!"
"Let's go, guys. It's time to get to work." While Christopher Wanton and his colleagues were in a panic, Charles Wellington just chuckled and suddenly spoke up.
"What are you waiting for. Hurry up and put on your jackets and let's go."
Charles said as he led the way out.
