NovelUSAChapter 205 Suzanne gave a firm nod and said, "I'm ready." She had waited far too long for this day.
Augustus shifted his gaze away from Suzanne and looked ahead at the Yates Corporation building. He said quietly, "Let's go." Both of them strode toward the lobby.
Beyond the revolving glass doors, the Yates Corporation lobby featured Epean- style decor. A large teardrop- shaped crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, reflecting dazzling lights.
As Augustus and Suzanne stepped into the busy lobby, they immediately drew the attention of those around them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe receptionist looked up at Augustus and immediately greeted him respectfully, "Good morning, Mr. Frost. They've asked you to head to the conference room for the shareholders' meeting." Augustus ignored her and led Suzanne straight into the elevator.
Once the elevator doors slid shut, Suzanne arched an eyebrow. With a mocking smile playing on her lips, she said, "These people are quite well-informed. They knew I was coming and had already set up a trap for me." How afraid were they of her reclaiming Yates Corporation? And yet, here she was.
Worried that she might be nervous, Augustus reassured her, saying, "Don't be afraid. I'm here." Suzanne was still just a young woman in Augustus' eyes. It would be normal for her to feel intimidated in the face of such a big battle. Yet what he didn't notice was the calmness in Suzanne's eyes. It was as if nothing could faze her.
In the spacious conference room, gold tones dominated three walls. They were also adorned with diamond- shaped mirrored tiles. The decor highlighted the futuristic elements of the jewelry design company.
Beneath the evenly spaced elongated light fixtures was a long rectangular black conference table. It added a touch of grounded stability to the luxurious space.
Seated around the table were the company's shareholders, each wearing a stern expression as though they were ready for battle.
Henry wore a faint smile, but it couldn't mask the malice swirling in his eyes.
Suzanne sure was brave. Did she think she could try to take control of the company just with the Frost family's support? That depended on whether she had the ability to do so.
Suzanne and Augustus walked in, heading straight for the head of the conference table. Augustus pulled out a chair and sat down. He gestured for Suzanne to sit beside him.
Then, he swept a cold gaze over the shareholders with a calm authority that commanded respect. He said in a low voice, "From now on, Suzanne will take over as manager of the design department." A file flew off the table with a loud bang, drawing everyone's attention.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGeorge Hammet-one of the shareholders-was dressed in a black suit and leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed. His expression was grim as he stared at Augustus and asked, "Mr. Frost, don't you think this decision is a bit inappropriate?" His eyes briefly flicked to Suzanne standing by the side, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Suzanne was hardly bothered. She simply stood there, her eyes calmly scanning everyone's reaction.
Finally, her gaze landed on Henry, and she caught every bit of the malice flashing in his eyes. He wouldn't be arrogant for much longer.
Augustus' sharp gaze turned to George as he said firmly, "She's the eldest daughter of the Yates family and the future heiress of Yates Corporation. What's wrong with her heading the design department?"
If it weren't for Suzanne insisting on winning over these old fools first he would have already made her the executive vice president of Yates Corporation. There wouldn't be a need to listen to their endless complaining. They simply didn't know their place! But no one cared what Augustus thought. One after another, voices of dissent filled the room, which only made the atmosphere grow increasingly tense.
Henry's eyes gleamed with cold amusement as he stood up. He m maintained a polite smile as he tried to mediate. "We're all working together here, so let's not make it so awkward."
