Chapter 815 Cecilia and Dashiell Collaborate
"But..." Dashiell agreed immediately, but added a caveat, "You can't cross Alaric's bottom line."
For example, if Cecilia wanted to leave or something.
He wouldn't dare help her.
Cecilia asked, "Is suppressing the Monroe family Alaric's bottom line?"
"No," Dashiell answered straightforwardly.
Cecilia was still somewhat skeptical.
"Your leaving is Alaric's bottom line," Dashiell said directly, "And Juniper."
Cecilia sneered.
Alaric was indeed, quite fair.
"To be precise, it's the child in Juniper's belly," Dashiell added.
Actually, to Cecilia, it didn't matter anymore.
Whether it was Juniper or her child, in any case, anyone from the Monroe family except Juniper could be suppressed by Cecilia.
Getting this answer was enough.
She said directly, "I want to target Lyra."
Dashiell frowned.
He wasn't entirely surprised that Cecilia would take action, but he didn't expect her to act so quickly.
During this time, he had also been looking for dirt on Lyra to get rid of her, leaving the Monroe family with nothing to say. However, now, Cecilia was one step ahead of him?
"Please elaborate," Dashiell tried to stay calm.
"How Lyra causes trouble in the Lockhart Group is your business. I've already handed the Lockhart Group over to you, so I have no right to interfere. But Lyra's actions are affecting the employees of the Lockhart Group. To me, the Lockhart Group is no longer important, but the people in the Lockhart Group still matter to me. So..."
Cecilia said, "To ensure they have a normal working environment, I must make Lyra leave, and leave in disgrace!"
The kind of leaving where she can never come back.
"What do you need me to do?" Dashiell suppressed his inner excitement.
Cecilia had just taken one more trouble off his hands.
And since Cecilia had already spoken, this matter was almost certainly settled.
Cecilia told Dashiell what she wanted to do.
Dashiell agreed without hesitation, "Okay."
"I hope you won't tell Alaric," Cecilia said.
Dashiell was a bit troubled.
"I don't want him to intervene," Cecilia said bluntly.
"He won't..."
"No," Cecilia was very firm, "As long as Juniper says a word, he will."
Dashiell was speechless.
In fact, Cecilia's concern was not without reason.
Juniper was indeed important now.
He said, "Okay."
"Thank you."
"Just doing my part."
Cecilia didn't say anything more.
She hung up the phone directly.
Dashiell returned to the meeting room.
When he got back, everyone was waiting for him to start the meeting.
He said, "Regarding the company project, Ms. Everhart will report to me separately later. You all discuss it among yourselves first. I have something to attend to."
With that, Dashiell left.
Natalia quickly followed Dashiell out.
Seraphina watched their backs.
What happened that made Dashiell leave like that?
She felt a bit uneasy but couldn't show it. Right now, she could only try to please Dashiell.
She turned to the other executives, "Let's report the project list Mr. Montgomery requested earlier. I'll go to him later."
The other executives were relieved.
Whenever Dashiell organized a meeting without Seraphina, the atmosphere was fine. But once Seraphina was there, the tension would rise significantly. They didn't know if it was because Dashiell and Seraphina were too opposed to each other.
Seraphina and the executives had a long meeting.
The amount of information was overwhelming, and Seraphina felt her head was spinning.
She returned to her office with Nora, exhausted and ready to collapse.
Mental labor was really not something everyone could handle.
"Black coffee," Seraphina instructed Nora.
"Yes," Nora responded respectfully.
A moment later, she brought the coffee, "Ms. Everhart, do you want to take a break? You seem a bit out of it. Mr. Montgomery said you could report to him later, so you don't have to finish everything today. You can go when he calls you."
"What if he calls me now?"
"Mr. Montgomery wouldn't be that harsh, would he?" Nora couldn't help but blurt out.
"Harsh is the right word," Seraphina said, her face contorting from the bitterness of the coffee, "He'd love to see me dead."
"No way, I think Mr. Montgomery is quite nice to you," Nora couldn't help but defend Dashiell.
"Which eye of yours sees him being nice to me? Haven't you noticed that every time there's a meeting with me, he has a gloomy face, and the atmosphere is so tense it's about to explode? I suspect I affect the air he breathes," Seraphina said angrily.
Nora had indeed heard that whenever Dashiell had a meeting with Seraphina, the tension was palpable. So every time Dashiell had a meeting, the executives would ask if Seraphina would attend.
If Seraphina was attending, everyone felt like they were reluctantly going to battle.
"I think Mr. Montgomery is trying to help you establish authority. Ms. Everhart, you're too kind and lack principles. This kind of personality isn't good for company management. Mr. Montgomery probably becomes very assertive in meetings to teach you."
"He could just tell me to learn from him!" Seraphina was unconvinced.
"Mr. Montgomery has told you, hasn't he?" Nora had to point out.
Well, sometimes she really couldn't be that strict.
Nora knew Seraphina's personality well. She quickly said, "So Mr. Montgomery probably wants you to learn gradually through exposure."
"Why are you always speaking up for Dashiell?" Seraphina was a bit annoyed.
"I'm not speaking up for him, just stating some facts."
"Alright, get out, don't delay my work," Seraphina said impatiently.
Nora was helpless.
Every time Dashiell was mentioned, Seraphina would get inexplicably irritated.
Nora left.
Seraphina sat in her chair, feeling mentally exhausted.
Working with such anxiety every day, she wondered if she would develop depression.
However.
She suddenly remembered what Nora had just said.
That Dashiell was doing it for her own good.
Was it true?
Or was he just settling personal scores?
Seraphina scratched her head, forget it, she wouldn't think about it.
Take it one step at a time.
After all, there was still a long way to go.
She tried to immerse herself in her work, meticulously organizing the project files for opening bank accounts. It took a long time because she was afraid of missing any key details and getting scolded by Dashiell.
After finishing, she took her laptop to Dashiell's office.
