Chapter 91 Expelling the Foster Family
Although Katharine didn't particularly like William since he was , who came from a poor neighborhood, he had just helped her secure a deal worth ten billion dollars, so s. Regardless, she had to thank him.
That night, she arranged a dinner at her place to treat him.
""William, I owe you for helping me secure this major deal, William. I'm just curious, which high-ranking executive from Ron Real Estate did you contact?"" Katharine asked with great interest.
She still remembered the person in charge asking her about her relationship with William during the review, the person in charge asked her about her relationship with William. When they found out it was just a casual onerelationship, they didn't even spare her a glance. But their attitude changed instantly as soon as they learned he was her daughter's boyfriend, their attitude changed instantly. They had even offered her a procurement price that was 10% higher than the market rate.
Because of that, she figured From this, it could be deduced that the insider William had contacted must hold a high position. Otherwise, the person in charge wouldn't have valued her so much.
""It seemed to be an ordinary employee. I don't have the money or connections to get to knowmeet anyone important inside,"" William casually replied while munching on a chicken leg. He had to dodge the question with an excuse. I because if he told the truth, it would probably scare them.
Katharine felt embarrassed by his words. Wasn't he slapping her in the face? SPreviously, she had looked down on William and said that even if he knew someone from Ron Real Estate, they would just be low-level employees or janitors. But now that was had been proven wrong.
Katharine awkwardly laughedlaughed awkwardly and didn't pursue it when she realized William didn't want to say more.
She then picked up her phone and shared the good news in the family group chat. She claimed itsaid she just wanted was to share the good news, but in reality, she wanted to show off in front of her sisters, taking the opportunity to assert her dominance.
However, she also knew that she lacked experience. She probably wouldn't be a match for Hannah and other shareholders, eEven if she were to become the chairman in the future, she probably wouldn't be a match for Hannah and other shareholders.
She turned her head to look at her daughter, Michelle, and said, ""Michelle, you should come and help me when I become the chairman, come and help me. Your two cousins are also in your grandfather's company too, so you can learn from each other.""
""But I don't understand the construction materials industry!"" Michelle widened her eyes and replied, widening her eyes.
Katharine wanted to persuade her further, but Noad interrupted with a serious expression and said, ""You should still go and help your mother. With When an outsider suddenly becoming becomes the chairman, there will likely be many people in your grandfather's company who arewill probably be dissatisfied. If you go, perhaps maybe you can be of some assistance.""
Noad himself was a chairman and had almost been ousted from the position several times. Luckily, William had secretly helped him, or their family's business would have collapsed long ago.
""Alright,"" Michelle nodded.
At the same time, Michelle's aunt also learned that Katharine had signed with Ron Real Estate.
The supply contract for building materials was had been signed, and while Hannah was shocked and, I felt very upset. She became even more displeased eEspecially after seeing Katharine constantly showing off in the family group, Hannah became even more displeased.
""Katharine has signed the contract, which probably means my days in the company will be difficult from now on,"" Hannah said, glancing at her daughter Emma, her face filled with anger. She shouldn't have trusted her daughter's boyfriend. Not only did itIt had cost her a lot of money, but and the deal also didn'thadn’t gone through, which made her feel quite annoyed.
""MomD, does that mean we can no longer get money from Grandpa's company, Mom?"" Emma also worked at James's company, so she naturally knew what her mother had done. And, of course, she was also became an indirect beneficiary.
""If we hadn’t it weren't for believeding in your boyfriend, would we wouldn’t have suffered such a miserable loss.? That so-called rich heir is useless. He's not even as good as your cousin's poor boyfriend."" Hannah vented her anger.
""How couldan you compare my cousin's boyfriend to mine? Tomorrow, I'll make plans to meet up with them tomorrow and mock them to defend your honor, Mom,"" Emma said, feeling indignant after hearing her mother talk about her boyfriend as someone even lower than a poor man like William.
""That's my good daughter. Remember, you're the best. But if Katharine really becomes the chairperson and starts scrutinizing everything, I guess we'll all have to leave your grandpa's company,"" Hannah thought to herself.
Katharine rarely participated in any management activities at the company. She only had a title.
It was Hannah was the one who usually helped Master her father with everything. But now, the chairperson position was had been unexpectedly given to Katharine, a personsomeone who did nothing. How could she not be angry about thatis?
""There might still be a way to salvage this situation,"" said Edward Lanner, Hannah's husband. He was from the Lanner family, a second-rate noble family from the West district. He had just returned from a business trip and was not happy to hear that the position of the chairman was going to be handed over to Katharine.
""But the contract hasis almost been signed. What can we do now?"" Hannah asked, wide-eyed and puzzled.
""The contract was has been negotiated, but it hasn't been signed yet, right? Talk to Master your father and let tell him know that you can sign on Katharine's behalf. Then the chairman position will be yours,"" Edward hintedsaid.
""But that won't work. Master My father is n’ot stupid. Katharine negotiated the contract. He won’t'll not agree to this,"" Hannah responded.
""What if Katharine suddenly becomes unavailable on the day she needs to of signing the contract? Will Master your father miss out on this big order because of her?"" Edward said, with a hint of malice.
""Suddenly unavailable?"" Hannah was confused at first, but soon she soon understood what Edward meant. ""Are you suggesting...""
""Could it be thatAre you you're trying to...?"" Hannah didn't directly state her intentionssay it out loud, but the meaning was already apparentclear. She became a little timid. ""This doesn't seem right.""
""Don't worry, I won't do anything to her. I'll just make her disappear for a day when she needs toIt's just that on the day of signing the contract., I'll make her disappear for a day. Once you've signed the contract on her behalf, I'll let her come back.""
Edward paused for a moment before continuing, ""Everything will be set in stone by the time she comes back. She won't have any options left eEven if she does wants to cause trouble, she won't have any options left. Worst case scenario, we can give her an additional 10% of the shares, which Master your father wants to give as ahas rewarded. That way, she’ will benefit and have nothing to say. However,But you’ will be the one taking on the position of the chairman.""
When Upon hearing this, Hannah heard that, her's eyes suddenly lit up. This plan It wasn't a bad plan; she could part with the 10% of shares. The key was to not let Katharine take on the position of chairman. If she did, her profit-making schemes might be exposed.
Moreover,And once she became the chairman, it would be easy to make making money would be easy.
""You really have thought this through. Go arrange it quickly, but make sure no harm comes to Katharine."" Hannah didn't really want to hurt Katharine. After all, she was her own younger sister. But she could make her disappear for a day to secure the position of the chairman, she could make her disappear for a day.
""Don't worry, I'm not foolish!"" Edward nodded. He had a sense of proportion in everything he did."
