NovelUSAChapter 207 Henry buried his anger and resentment, turning to Augustus with a troubled look. He said, "Mr. Frost, Suzanne lacks experience in this field. Even if she wants to lead the design department, she should at least study for a few years to gain everyone's confidence." During those years, he would make sure to get his hands on Suzanne's shares. By then, neither the Frost family nor Suzanne would have the final say.
Henry's mind was already working hard and calculating his next move.
George glanced at Suzanne, who had remained silent the entire time. He frowned slightly before shifting his attention back to Augustus.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe suggested, "She can stay in the company, but not as the manager of the design department. She should start from the bottom. If she truly has the ability, I won't object to her leading the design department." A wealthy young woman like her, who only ever indulged in the comforts of luxury, wouldn't possibly be willing to start from the bottom. This was especially true if she was demanding a managerial position right away.
George was sure she would refuse.
After hearing his words, the others exchanged glances before nodding in agreement. One of the shareholders said, "Even with the Frost family's support, it simply isn't a viable option." Another agreed, "Starting from the bottom is the most reasonable option." "Yes, that would be fair to everyone," another chimed in.
If Suzanne had the ability, she could prove it. If not, she had no place here. Most of them looked at Suzanne with doubt in their eyes.
Henry felt relieved. It was practically guaranteed now that Suzanne wouldn't be able to join the company. There was no way she would agree to start from the bottom.
Augustus' expression darkened with anger. This group of old fools was determined to keep Suzanne from taking the position.
Just as he was about to go all out against the shareholders, Suzanne took a step forward. All eyes turned to her, and they heard her say calmly, "That's fine. I'll start from the bottom." Her words made everyone freeze. Henry was even more shocked, and he momentarily forgot to keep up his act. Augustus frowned in disapproval and said softly, "Suzanne-" "Uncle Augustus, trust me." She met his gaze, and her voice was full of confidence as she cut him off.
She had never actually intended to start as the manager of the design department. Starting from the bottom would allow everyone to witness her growth, making it easier to shut them up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAugustus' eyes remained fixed on Suzanne as she radiated confidence. At that moment, he realized that his niece had grown up. He smiled softly and nodded, saying, "Okay." It was just one word, but it was a show of trust for Suzanne.
Henry quickly masked his displeasure despite his unwillingness to let Suzanne stay. He gave her a concerned look and said, "Suzanne, you should think carefully. It's tough to start from the bottom." He wanted Suzanne to back down, but how could a few words from Henry possibly make her give up? Suzanne looked up and met Henry's gaze. A cold glint flashed in her otherwise steady gaze as she replied softly, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Yates, but I'm ready." In her mind, she added, "I hope you're ready too." The second half of the sentence remained unspoken, but she knew Henry understood.
Under the table, Henry's fists clenched so tightly that the veins on his arms bulged. She was obviously doing this on purpose! Henry said again, "Since that's the case, you can join Seline in the design department. The two of you can look out for each other." Look out for each other?
Suzanne curled her lips into an icy smile. Henry was probably hoping that she would be forced out of the company as soon as possible. But being assigned to the design department was exactly what she wanted.
George nodded and said, "You'll work in the design department, then. If you can't do the job, you'll be fired just like En anyone else."
He stood up, gathered the documents on the table, and fixed ve Suzanne with a heavy gazeWith'an upfriendly expression, he said, "Don't blus for holding you to high standards. After all, this company is no place for you to fool around." The others remained silent, but their stance was clear.
The shareholders left the conference room one by one. Only Suzanne, Augustus, and Henry stayed behind.
