Chapter 325 She is so pitiful
Gabriel pondered for a moment, then he resumed his fake smile. He knew Patrick had some tricks up his sleeve, but he didn't expect the guy to be so blunt, directly suggesting selling him defective parts!
Although he had boasted earlier, who buys defective parts directly? This behavior was like taking money straight out of his pocket.
He held back and said, "we'll sign the contract after the annual meeting."
The marketing manager was dumbfounded. Last month, he waited outside Eden Industries all day, and Gabriel didn't even see him, giving only perfunctory excuses.
In the evening, he finally managed to catch Gabriel, but Gabriel claimed he had a severe stomachache from drinking and couldn't discuss business, not even giving him a chance to speak.
Now, Now, in front of the newcomers Patrick and Ms. Semona, he was bowing and scraping like a lapdog. He even proactively offered business, willing to take in defective parts. The pile of scrap metal in the warehouse would now be enough for him to sell as scrap for days.
After finishing the conversation, Gabriel wiped his forehead and went to a corner to make a call, "Mr. Heilbronn, are you sure about this? Don't screw me over, I've worked my whole life for this little bit of property, I can't afford to squander it."
Nathaniel received the call just as he arrived at the Royal Elven Suites, "Whatever you spent, I'll reimburse you. From now on, take all of Ms. Semona's orders!"
After receiving Nathaniel's response, Gabriel relaxed the wrinkles on his face. As long as Nathaniel reimbursed him, "Mr. Heilbronn, I get it!"
After the recent commotion, the annual meeting continued as usual.
Aurelia took a glass of red wine and searched the crowd for Ulysses. When she was outside, Ulysses was still live-streaming videos for her, but she hadn't seen him since coming in.
At that moment, Ulysses and Oscar were sulking in a corner.
Neither of them spoke to each other, even when Aurelia slapped Chelsea earlier, they held back from sharing their thoughts.
When Aurelia finally spotted them in the corner, they were sitting back-to-back, each looking at their own phone.
"Oscar, Ulysses, aren't you coming for a drink?"
Oscar sneered, "No!"
Ulysses, falling silent for so long, finally couldn't hold back. He felt extremely aggrieved, "Why are you acting all wronged? Aren't you going to collaborate with that bitch?"
Oscar's anger was instantly ignited and said, "You're even envious of a woman? That's too much!"
Aurelia somewhat understood, they had been sulking in silence.
"Oscar, are you planning to work with Chelsea?"
Oscar retorted angrily, "I was just stringing Chelsea along, who knew someone would take it so seriously."
Aurelia thought to herself, 'better not bring this up again, the more it's mentioned, the worse it gets.'
At this moment, the sound of women chatting came from not far away.
"Chelsea, how are you feeling now? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?" Ashley asked, supporting Chelsea who was in a daze.
Ashley’s friends chimed in, "Stop dawdling, call Nathaniel already. Didn't you say she's your future sister-in-law? She has been bullied like this, and you're not calling Nathaniel to deal with Aurelia!"
"Exactly. Call Mr. Heilbronn now and see how long Aurelia can stay smug. Mr. Heilbronn has plenty of ways to get back at you."
Chelsea glanced over at Aurelia, her mouth twitching. No matter the situation, she couldn't lose face in front of Aurelia, that would make her look down on her.
Ashley, seeing her best friend being bullied by Aurelia, couldn't swallow her anger. She placed Chelsea on the sofa, "Chelsea, wait here. Watch me tear her apart for you!"
Who does Aurelia think she is, daring to bully her best friend?
Ashley stormed over, followed by her group of girlfriends.
"Aurelia, how much of my brother's money have you spent? Give it back now!"
Aurelia gently swirled her wine glass. This idiot probably hadn't had enough last time and was here to provoke her again.
"Ashley, are you out of your mind? Whether or not I've spent your brother's money, what does it have to do with you?"
Ashley stiffened her neck and said, "How is it not related? The money my brother earns is my mom's money, and my mom's money is my money. So, by that logic, the money you spent was mine.Now that you've left my brother, can't you even afford KFC? Are you living in the suburbs now? How pitiful!"
Ulysses, hearing Ashley's words, was infuriated. He couldn't stand this idiot, his aversion to stupidity flaring up, "If the Heilbronn family is so great, why don't you all just stay single and live together? You're not young anymore, and no man wants to marry you. No wonder Caleb bought a ticket and fled overnight. With someone like you, marrying into your family would be a curse, a disgrace to their ancestors."
Ashley was about to retort but looked up to see the tall and burly Ulysses. She had been verbally attacked by him several times, his words sharp and ruthless, never sparing a girl’s feelings.
"I think no woman loves you! With such a venomous tongue, which girl would want to date you? She'd probably die from anger."
Ashley, hands on her hips, snorted at Aurelia, saying, "My brother likes Chelsea. I advise you to stop eyeing the Heilbronn family. Don't get too smug; I've already texted my brother. He'll be here soon to take Chelsea to the hospital. As for you taking over her company, my brother will settle that score with you sooner or later!"
Ashley's friends chimed in and said, "Mr. Heilbronn's beloved being bullied, he'll definitely make a big fuss. I've never seen Mr. Heilbronn angry, but I hear it's terrifying. He wouldn't hit a woman, would he?"
Ashley added, "My brother doesn't hit women. Does he need to? Just standing next to Chelsea is enough."
Ashley's friends laughed and said, "True. Rivals in love are always jealous. Miss Thompson is really lucky. Ms. Semona, you might want to leave before Mr. Heilbronn arrives, to save face for everyone."
"Exactly. Mr. Heilbronn won't let anyone who bullies his beloved off easily. Ms. Semona, you better pray for yourself. Even if you have control of the company, offending Mr. Heilbronn will make it hard to operate in Imperick."
Their chatter was more dramatic than a movie, pretending to worry for Aurelia while actually waiting for the drama to unfold.
Aurelia sipped her wine, looking at them like monkeys. Truly, birds of a feather flock together; they were all idiots like Ashley.
"Don't worry about me. If Mr. Heilbronn comes to deal with me, I'll accept it!"
Ashley and her friends looked at her with disdain. "So pathetic!"
"How pathetic?"
"Don't worry, I'll persuade my brother not to go too far. We're all women; if he goes too far, I won't stand for it either."
Aurelia lightly pursed her red lips and said, "Thank you so much. Please do put in a good word for me with Mr. Heilbronn."
