Chapter 305 Relenting to Let You into the Forbes Family
So whether it was dealing with Tristan or controlling Synergy Global Corporation, they could only rely on Eudora.
They had seen Eudora's work capabilities. When Tristan was in Nightfall City before, she had no problem managing Synergy Global Corporation.
Even though she has fallen out with Tristan now and the bet is causing a lot of buzz, which will bring some difficulties for Eudora in managing Synergy Global Corporation.
But it shouldn't have ended up like this!
Ivy walked up to her and grabbed her collar tightly, "So, don't you owe me an explanation?"
"I have nothing to say. Our projects have been repeatedly intercepted, and White Corporation can guess our core plans or any bottom prices, so someone must be sabotaging us from within. Katniss is highly suspicious!"
After explaining, Eudora turned her head away and said nothing more.
Without evidence, it was futile to say anything.
"It's too early to convict anyone. Tomorrow we'll go to White Corporation together to see Katniss. With Travis and me accompanying her, she shouldn't refuse to see us. No matter what method we use, we need to split this project first."
Ivy let go of her, smoothed out her collar, and stared into her eyes, saying, "You are here to help Sam get Synergy Global Corporation. If we lose this time, it doesn't matter. Travis has other plans, but don't think you can escape our control. Don't have any thoughts you shouldn't, or you'll be in trouble."
Between Travis and Ivy, although Travis has a bad temper and often gets angry, Eudora was not afraid of him, but rather of Ivy.
Ivy, who came from a poor family, started living a life of luxury after marrying into the Forbes family.
Over the years, she no longer showed any signs of her poor past.
Ivy was somewhat plump, looked kind and benevolent, and spoke softly.
To this day, Eudora still remembered Ivy once smiling and saying to her, "Eudora, be good. The surgery will have anesthesia, it won't hurt."
Then she personally sent her into the operating room to have her uterus removed.
"Go back and rest, and be ready to go with us to see Katniss tomorrow. Remember to have a good attitude. After all, we are at a disadvantage now. Adjust your mindset well."
Ivy patted her shoulder twice. After a stiff response, Eudora turned and left.
After she left, Travis said, "Do you really trust her that much?"
Ivy sat down, took a tissue, and wiped her hands that had just touched Eudora.
"Tristan hates her. She wouldn't dare offend us, nor would she secretly help Tristan in this situation. She wouldn't do something so thankless."
After all, she raised Eudora herself and knew her well.
Hearing this, Travis frowned, "If we really lose, we can only use the shares we once gave Tristan to force him to stay. Once he stabilizes Synergy Global Corporation, we can bring out the transfer agreement to prove it doesn't exist. This way, the shares return, Synergy Global Corporation is saved, and we can remove Tristan from the president's position. Although it's a bit troublesome, at least the outcome is under control."
"I always feel that things are not that simple," Ivy paused and said, "Katniss quietly became the general manager of White Corporation. Do you really think Tristan is useless?"
"What do you mean?" Travis's heart tightened, "What else has he done besides wasting time in debauchery? Isn't he always under our watch?"
Seeing Travis getting anxious, Ivy didn't want to say more and advised, "I was just saying it casually. Don't take it to heart. Anyway, we have a backup plan, so what are you afraid of?"
For some reason, when Ivy mentioned the backup plan, Travis's face looked unpleasant. He glanced at her and went upstairs.
"Rest well these days. Sam will be back soon. If he sees you in a bad state, he'll be worried." She followed him upstairs, her voice gentle and full of pride.
White Corporation.
Katniss had just arrived at the company when the receptionist told her that Eudora and the others were here.
"I won't see them." She decisively refused and took the elevator upstairs.
Unexpectedly, she was so unyielding. Travis, who was refused, looked very angry.
"Indeed, with a bit of capability, she speaks tough." Ivy was about to advise Travis to calm down, but Travis was already standing up in anger, "Forget it. I don't want to waste time with her here."
After saying that, Travis left.
Ivy watched him leave in a huff, raised an eyebrow but didn't leave. Instead, she looked at Eudora and said, "Then we'll wait. I don't believe we can't see her."
Her waiting didn't just mean sitting there waiting for Katniss to relent.
During lunchtime, they followed Katniss to a hotel.
Katniss had arranged to discuss a contract with Milan. She had already drafted the contract and handed it to Milan.
"Mr. Runyon, if there's anything unsuitable, please let me know."
"Alright." Milan seriously reviewed each item of the contract.
Suddenly, the private room door was pushed open, and Eudora and Ivy walked in with smiles but an unstoppable aura.
The waiter following them looked flustered.
"Ms. Grey, discussing business?" Ivy smiled and sat next to Katniss uninvited.
Eudora also sat down.
Seeing this, Katniss frowned and was somewhat puzzled. Why didn't they greet Milan?
"Ms. Grey, it seems you're quite busy today. I'll take this contract back to review." Milan stood up with a stern face and said, "Some people are very sinister. Ms. Grey, be careful in your dealings."
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Runyon," Katniss stood up to see him off, but Eudora and Ivy immediately stood up and followed.
Clearly, she wasn't going to leave today.
Milan waved his hand, signaling her to handle it herself, and was escorted out by the waiter.
"Sorry for interrupting your business, Ms. Grey. I didn't expect you to have other projects to discuss besides the one with Runyon Corporation," Ivy said without a hint of apology.
The latter part of her statement carried a tinge of jealousy.
Katniss turned to them and said slowly, "You don't know Mr. Runyon?"
There were many people with the surname Runyon in the business world, so Eudora casually said she didn't know him, although this Mr. Runyon looked very similar to the Milan she knew.
Seeing this, Katniss didn't say more. The dishes were already ordered, so she sat back down.
"What do you want from me? I only have ten minutes."
Ivy said, "Ten minutes is enough, Katniss. No matter what, we know each other. You've worked at Synergy Global Corporation for many years. You wouldn't want to see Synergy Global Corporation in trouble, right?"
"Mrs. Forbes, you probably don't understand the ways of the business world. When you're in a position, you have to be responsible. Whether my former employer lives or dies has nothing to do with me."
Katniss leaned back in her chair, looking at Ivy indifferently, "Especially since we are competitors. The fact that I'm not kicking Synergy Global Corporation when it's down is already out of old friendship. Do you expect me to help Synergy Global Corporation? From an outsider's perspective, wouldn't that make me a traitor?"
From White Corporation's perspective, if Synergy Global Corporation collapsed, White Corporation would dominate!
She had no reason to save Synergy Global Corporation.
"What if the Forbes family accepts you?" Ivy began to entice Katniss.
However, as soon as she said this, Eudora's expression changed, "Ivy, you..."
Katniss's face remained cold as she stared at Ivy, watching as Ivy's gaze silenced Eudora.
Then she turned back to negotiate, "You've been with Tristan for so many years, with deep feelings. You wouldn't be willing to part just like that. Without our consent, it's hard for you to marry into the Forbes family. If you let Synergy Global Corporation participate in this project, I'll talk to Mrs. Adelaide Forbes about your wedding."
"What do you take me for?" Katniss's tone was cold, and the curve of her lips was extremely sarcastic, "You tell me to marry, I marry. You tell me not to marry, I leave? Who gave you the face to decide my fate?"
She stood up, picked up the red wine in front of her, and splashed it on Ivy's face.
Eudora, standing nearby, was also affected. Both of them stared wide-eyed at the furious Katniss.
"Every grievance I suffered in the Forbes family, I will get back from you! Want to participate in this project? In your next life! And stop using Tristan to threaten me. Whether I marry him or not is up to me, not you!"
She grabbed her bag and turned to leave.
Ivy never expected Katniss to act!
How could she know? She had touched Katniss's sore spot.
The unfinished wedding was a lifelong regret for her, just one step away!
Adelaide's betrayal was a hurdle she could never get over.
It also made her see the shady behavior in the wealthy family, suffocating her.
After the commotion, Katniss was in a bad mood. When she returned to White Corporation, her stern face scared the employees so much that they didn't dare to breathe.
The temporary secretary entered her office, trembling, "Ms. Grey, the Kennedy family called to invite you to dinner tonight."
Saskia didn't know if Katniss was busy, so she scheduled the dinner during her work hours. Otherwise, she feared they wouldn't get to have this meal until Saskia gave birth.
"Do I have any plans tonight?" Katniss asked.
The secretary said, "There's a meeting with the overseas branch at seven o'clock, lasting two hours. No other plans. I've already informed the secretary-general about the overtime to accompany you to the meeting."
Hearing this, Katniss looked up at her, and the secretary quickly lowered her head.
"No need. Reschedule the meeting to midnight. I'll attend it from home. You can leave work at five o'clock, no need for overtime."
"Okay." The secretary sensed her caution, said nothing more, and left.
Katniss personally called Saskia, inviting her to dinner at her home that evening.
Saskia hadn't met Evie yet and had been clamoring to see her, but Evie was too young to go out.
At six o'clock in the evening, Katniss entered her home and heard the voices of Saskia and Nicholas. They had taken Matilda and Aaron's places.
They were constantly looking at Evie's stroller.
Evie, with her round eyes, stared at them without blinking, her little fists clenched tightly in front of her chest.
"Evie." Katniss put down her bag and walked over, calling softly.
In Evie's bright eyes, Katniss's smiling face was reflected. Evie didn't recognize people yet, but perhaps she was sensitive to smells. When Katniss got closer, she seemed very happy, waving her little arms twice.
"Can I take a picture and send it to Tristan?" Nicholas had already taken out his phone, asking for Katniss's permission.
