Chapter 848 Rock Was Very Angry
Winnie understood that Lawrence had been waiting for this day for a long time.
He had prepared meticulously, and with every step, he and Jeremy had cornered Rock precisely.
He was the one who remained calm, waiting for the outcome.
She felt an inexplicable admiration.
Her lips moved slightly, but she didn't speak, only releasing a faint smile.
The efforts she and Olivia had put in over the past half month would finally show results today.
"Olivia, let's go." Winnie grabbed her briefcase and walked out in her high heels.
The Blanchet Group building.
The afternoon sun was somewhat gloomy.
Rock rushed to the company entrance, hurriedly got out, and headed straight for the Blanchet Group's finance department.
Suddenly, a group of shareholders blocked his way.
"Mr. Potts, Mr. Jones, what are you all doing here?" Rock looked around, seeing they wouldn't move aside, his brows gradually furrowed.
He was in a hurry to recover that $100 billion, and he knew these people must have heard about the Harrington Group's product launch failure and the subsequent penalties and breaches!
These profit-driven guys often changed their stance; they could praise him yesterday and mock him today.
"Mr. Harrington, what's going on with your company's product?" Randal rubbed his hands and asked urgently. "Is that recording from Adam real?"
Rock's face turned extremely grim.
Randal glanced around and whispered to a few directors, "It must be true. It seems Adam really sided with Lawrence from the beginning and never intended to give the Peterson Group and the Harrington Group a chance... This is..."
"This is what?" Rock, furious, the name 'Lawrence' was enough to ignite his near-explosive nerves.
He sneered coldly at them, "The Harrington Group just had a minor issue with its product, and Lawrence, that despicable man, took advantage of it. It's no big deal; I'm already handling it!"
"As for you shareholders, what do you mean by this? Hoping for the Harrington Group to fail? Don't forget, when Winnie tried every trick to keep me out of the Blanchet Group, you all agreed."
"Now, the Harrington Group and the Blanchet Group are in a mutual interest relationship. If the Harrington Group goes down, what good will it do the Blanchet Group?"
"If I were you, I'd be smart enough not to bother me and instead help me resolve the Harrington Group's crisis, which would greatly benefit the Serene Haven Hotel project!"
The shareholders were stunned.
But clearly, someone had already spoken to them, and Randal and Rodolfo were not listening to Rock.
Rodolfo snorted, "You don't scare me, Rock. The Harrington Group has little to do with the Blanchet Group. You want us to help you deal with the Harrington Group's product breach issues? Who gave you that confidence?"
"We're just worried that as the person in charge of the Serene Haven Hotel, your entanglements will cause big trouble for the hotel project!"
Rock said, "You have no right to say anything. Carlos signed off on me being the project leader, and I invested $100 billion. The Serene Haven Hotel is mine."
Moreover, Rock needed to tightly grasp the Serene Haven Hotel project to maintain his current position.
The most urgent thing was to recover the money and plug the bank loan hole.
He had his secretary push aside the directors!
"How dare you push us?" Rodolfo and Randal, both with hefty bodies, blocked the company entrance, refusing to let Rock in.
Rock quickly realized something was wrong.
Were they deliberately blocking him?
Stalling for time?
He glanced coldly up at the company building, his face changing slightly.
Was it Winnie?
Rock pushed Rodolfo aside and strode into the company.
As he walked towards the finance department, he had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, before he even reached the door, he saw Winnie in the office, head down, signing some documents.
"Winnie!" he shouted angrily, filled with vigilance, "Who allowed you into the company?"
"Who let them in?" He turned to scold the employees.
The employees kept their heads down.
Winnie nonchalantly waved her hand, and the finance manager left.
Olivia, glaring at Rock like an enemy, walked over and closed the office door.
"What are you doing here?" Rock's eyes were fierce, as if he wanted to pierce through Winnie, questioning her repeatedly.
"It seems you haven't rested well, looking haggard and tense." Winnie propped her hands on the desk and stood up.
Rock's nerves were ignited, thinking of Winnie hiding behind Lawrence, surely laughing at him with Lawrence last night.
His anger rose. He couldn't stand Winnie's calm face, which to him was a blatant provocation.
"Get out. I remember your authority in the Blanchet Group was stripped long ago." He walked over and roughly grabbed Winnie.
Winnie didn't resist much, only meaningfully took the document on the desk in her hand and smiled, "Yes, my authority was stripped by you and Ishara in the past half month! But to quell the shareholders' suspicions, didn't you leave me some signing rights?"
"Today, I came at the invitation of the finance manager to sign off on the remaining funds for the Serene Haven Hotel project."
"The manager said you've been delaying for a long time, and to avoid affecting the project's progress, the remaining funds need to be expedited, so the materials and personnel expenses on the construction site can proceed smoothly."
"I thought you wanted to make big money from the Serene Haven Hotel, so I'm helping you out."
Winnie finished speaking.
Rock was stunned.
He stared in disbelief, as if trying to process what she said and what the document in her hand was.
As Olivia's smile grew wider, Rock snatched the document from Winnie's hand, his eyes bloodshot. He saw the document's title: [Confirmation of Remaining Funds Transfer to Project.]
His fingers trembled slightly.
He looked up, glaring at Winnie.
Winnie met his gaze, her lips steady and cold.
Rock actually took a step back, then raised his hand and tried to slap Winnie hard. "Bitch, you set me up!"
"You want to hit her?" Olivia raised a chair and smashed it on Rock.
He pushed her away!
"Olivia!" Winnie, afraid she might get hurt, signaled her to call for help outside!
"No, I don't think he dares to do anything to us now." Olivia ran over, standing beside Winnie, glaring coldly at the furious Rock, "Mr. Harrington, are you mad? Is this money your current hope?"
"Winnie, I'll kill you." Rock roared.
Olivia, seeing he hadn't fully grasped the situation, sneered again, "Why are you only mad at Winnie? The plan was Lawrence's idea; you're far from being a match for Lawrence!"
"Half a month ago, you thought you had taken over the Blanchet Group, stripping Winnie of her power. Why do you think Winnie insisted on causing trouble at the company?"
She continued, "Wasn't it to set you up, making you more convinced that the Serene Haven Hotel would make big money, speeding up your investment? You borrowed money from the bank, thinking the NexaCore Group partnership would be a sure win."
"And now? You lost. Lawrence said you would definitely take the remaining funds, so we rushed to the Blanchet Group to lock your remaining money in the project, making it impossible for you to withdraw."
"This is Lawrence's real tactic. Do you see it clearly now, Rock? You can't even compare to Lawrence!"
