Early the next morning, the Radcliffe Group’s boardroom was filled with a large number of executives and members of the Radcliffe Clan.
Zade Radcliffe sat near the entrance, with Otis Radcliffe by his side.
Both appeared to be in good spirits. Otis Radcliffe had shaken off the shadow of the previous beating, and though he still limped, his face was radiant with vigor.
Zade Radcliffe, with his eyes closed as if in meditation, assumed a posture of someone strategizing behind the scenes.
The other family members were still talking incessantly, each voicing their opinions.
“The chairman has arrived!”
With Dempsey Davenport’s sudden exclamation, the boardroom fell silent in an instant.
“Mr. Chairman, there are less than three days left until the Titan Group’s gala.
How do you plan to resolve this?”
“I inquired yesterday—in all of Gonzalez City, every enterprise with assets over a hundred million has received an invitation. Why hasn’t the Radcliffe Group received our invitation yet?”
“When asked about it outside, as a member of the group, I feel disgraced!”
The Radcliffe family members spoke up one after another, following the script Zade Radcliffe had given them to attack Quella Radcliffe. “Chairman Radcliffe, you should give us an explanation, shouldn’t you?”
Otis Radcliffe watched Quella Radcliffe with a smug smile.
Next to him, Zalmon Martin also wore a smiling expression.
The invitation had actually arrived early, but following Zade Radcliffe’s instructions, it had been intercepted by her privately.
Now, that invitation was in Zade Radcliffe’s hands. Once Quella Radcliffe failed to resolve this issue, Zade Radcliffe would openly produce the invitation, claiming that he obtained it through his connections.
With the support of business leaders from Gonzalez City, he would surely be able to return to his position as chairman, and this matter would naturally be put to rest.
“Exactly! Chairman Radcliffe, please explain quickly?”
“If even this is beyond your capability, we won’t accept it!”
The Radcliffe family members were constantly making a fuss below.
“About this issue, I have already communicated with the Titan Group. They have confirmed that they indeed sent us the invitation. However, for some reason, we did not receive it.”
Quella Radcliffe said expressionlessly. These words were all instructed by Julius Reed.
“Is that so?”
Zade Radcliffe frowned, feeling somewhat unsettled inside.
Zalmon Martin, on the other hand, was startled, casting a somewhat fearful glance at Zade Radcliffe.
Should this matter come to light, she would be the first to be held accountable.
“Impossible! In all of Gonzalez City, no one has been able to contact the Titan
Group yet. Quella Radcliffe, if you’re lying, at least make it believable to us.”
Zade Radcliffe quickly came to his senses, believing that Quella Radcliffe was deceiving everyone.
He had also followed the Titan Group and talked with his old buddies about it. Up to now, even the richest man, Ovidiu Cook, hadn’t been able to get in touch with the Titan Group.
This suddenly-emerged group was extremely mysterious, and outsiders simply couldn’t grasp any information.
Even those entrepreneurs with Divine Skills had no way of doing so; how could Quella Radcliffe, a mere greenhorn, achieve it?
“Although I must admit, you managed to speak with the Titan Group, to claim you could contact the Titan Group is somewhat of an exaggeration.”
He looked towards Quella Radcliffe, his eyes gleaming, as if trying to see through her thoughts in one glance.
However, to his disappointment, Quella Radcliffe had no reaction.
“The chairman seems to be speaking rather grandiosely.”
After hearing what Zade Radcliffe said, Zalmon Martin realized it was a false alarm. Previously, due to a guilty conscience, she’d been somewhat scared.
Now, she had no fear.
“Zalmon Martin, it’s not your turn to speak.”
Quella Radcliffe glanced at Zalmon Martin and said coldly, “I am still the chairman. You, a public relations manager, dare to question me?”
“Hmph!”
Although Zalmon Martin was resentful inside, she dared not act out any further.
After all, she still doesn’t have the qualifications.
“Empty words provide no proof, why should we believe you? President Radcliffe, give us a reason!”
Otis Radcliffe lashed out again.
“I am the Chairman, do I need your belief?”
Quella Radcliffe became exceptionally assertive at this moment.
When she said this, Zade Radcliffe was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.
That was nothing but a furious embarrassment, nothing more.
“Good! Very good!”
Zade Radcliffe applauded from his seat, “Unfortunately, today I’ve invited all the local tycoons here, wanting them to judge whether you have the qualifications to sit in this position or not!”
After speaking, the doors to the meeting room were opened.
A group of middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes slowly walked in afterward.
“Oh! Mr. Radcliffe, long time no see! How have you been lately?”
“I’ve heard someone has taken your Chairman position, and we are quite curious as to who this remarkable person might be?”
“No matter what, in Gonzalez City, I only recognize you, Mr. Radcliffe!”
Most of the people who came were familiar faces, either suppliers of materials to the Radcliffe Group or business partners.
One could say that everyone was part of a community of interests; losing cooperation would plunge the Radcliffe Group into an unprecedented predicament.
Finding replacements in a short time was simply impossible.
Moreover, the Titan Group’s huge orders were being produced overtime; they couldn’t afford the loss brought by stockouts.
“Everyone is too kind! I truly have limited abilities, but you all are well aware of the current situation. At the Willson Group’s ceremony, they didn’t even invite the Radcliffe Group. Now tell me, where should I put my old face?”
Zade Radcliffe stood up from his chair, his face filled with a confident smile.
The arrival of these suppliers and vendors today would bring tremendous pressure to the Group.
“What are you saying, old friend! If the Titan Group really didn’t send an invitation to the Radcliffe Group, perhaps their Chairman should step down too, right? Back when you, Mr. Radcliffe, were around, those were the days of glory! ”
“Indeed, I want to see just who has the ability to lead the Radcliffe Group…” The material supplier’s words were cut off halfway when he became startled.
Because he saw Quella Radcliffe.
Julius Reed’s words from last night at Twilight Mansion were still vivid in his memory.
“Remember this face, or it’s death!”
He hurriedly rubbed his eyes, confirming he hadn’t mistaken the person.
The woman from last night was sitting in the Chairman’s seat.
A person who could make Ovidiu Cook kneel—how could they possibly afford to provoke her?
“Mr. Bread, what’s wrong?”
Seeing Mr. Bread stop mid-sentence, the others turned to look at him.
“She…’
Mr. Bread was at a loss for words for a moment, so he could only point at Quella Radcliffe.
“This…”
Most of the people present had witnessed last night’s events. Although they hadn’t seen everything clearly, they roughly knew that it was indeed the woman in front of them.
“Haha! This is my granddaughter, ambitious indeed, but her abilities can’t back it up! That’s why I, an old brother like me, have no choice but to take her place!”
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Zade Radcliffe thought they were dismissing Quella Radcliffe, and his heart suddenly blossomed with joy.
“Mr. Radcliffe, I think it’s good for you to retire. President Radcliffe is highly talented and will surely lead the Radcliffe Group to greatness. Today, right here, I, Mr. Bread, am taking a stand—if President Radcliffe needs it, my warehouse will prioritize supplying you, and with a 10% discount!”
“Mine too, President Radcliffe can take the materials first, and can pay whenever!”
“I’m going to sign a contract with President Radcliffe right now, 15% off!”
In an instant, the mood in the room changed drastically..
