FULL NOVELXO Chapter 75
"President Fowler, these are the files for the meeting later."
Despite his assistant's words, Pierre remained still without even casting an eye on those files. In fact, he would usually take a few minutes out of his time to skim through the papers before the meeting so that he roughly knew all the agendas that would be discussed later. Thus, Niall had no idea what was on Pierre's mind as he stood aside and waited in silence.
"Head over to Fowler Corporation and take back all our shares from Laya."
Pierre's words came like a thunderbolt to Niall. In fact, the management had decided to redeem the company's shares from Laya since clothing business was never the main focus of both Fowler Corporation and Empire Group, and neither was that area their forte.
Despite Laya's unsatisfactory performance in the past few years, Pierre had never once expressed his interest in that company. Even when it was mentioned earlier during the meeting at Fowler Corporation, he had only just assigned someone else to take care of it.
What's wrong with him today? Why does this matter suddenly interest him?
"One more thing. Do whatever it takes to stop JNS Corporation from entering Astoria's market. I want all companies to cut ties with them." Pierre soon gave his second order.
After hearing him, Niall got even more confused. There could be only two possible reasons behind this decision. He either wants to force the company into bankruptcy or isolate it from all other companies so that we're the only ones who can work with them.
Despite his reasonable inference, Niall was still clueless about Pierre's motive. So, does he want to work with JNS Corporation or not? That company is barely even a threat to us.
“Is there a problem?" Pierre asked when he didn't receive any response from Niall.
"What're you planning to do, President Fowler?" Niall asked with a shivering voice.
"Entertain no one else from JNS Corporation except their president," Pierre added, ignoring Niall's question.
"Understood!" Niall proceeded to do as he was told, even though he didn't think JNS Corporation was worth their time at all. Then, he recalled the shocking revelation about Pierre and Selena during the wedding. Both of them didn't say anything explicit at all, but is there something wrong between them? I suppose I should not make any wild guesses.
Meanwhile, Megan was having a tough time the three days after her wedding since she was expected to be present on all family occasions with her in-laws. While she was able to hide herself during the wedding, she could never get away with facing the Lake Family. In the following few days, she had become a laughingstock that was ridiculed and teased by the people in the family.
For that, Finneas had suffered the same fate because of her, as he couldn't help but feel moody about that. Therefore, he had never set his eyes on her ever again since the time he was drugged during their wedding night.
Although it had only been the third day, Megan had already had quite enough of that life. Thus, she returned to her maiden home one day without Finneas, as he excused himself with work.
Fine! Everyone out there has seen my embarrassed look, so I suppose I don't have to hide anything from my family either now. As soon as Megan got home, the first thing she did was whimper while cursing Selena all she wanted.
Despite her hatred for Selena, Megan had to admit her half-sister's clever plan in avenging her daughter. What a great comeback to trample on my pride and leave me in humiliation!
"Alright! Alright, that's enough! What's done is done!" Jezebelle impatiently comforted her daughter. "What's wrong with you girls? Why is it so difficult for you both to control your own men? I thought the two of you had always inherited my perfect genes."
