Chapter 421 Who's Bullying My Friend?
It can be said that Paige was in need of such an opportunity to crazily feed the Smith family.
Using the resources of the Universe Group to feed them, after all, the consumption was on herself.
Only by finding such an opportunity to consume other people's resources to feed the Smith family was the best way, saving her own resources while quickly strengthening the Smith family to achieve the results Paige wanted.
Coincidentally, the Myers family came along at this time.
Paige wasn't particularly ruthless; she couldn't just attack any family without reason, as that would provoke public anger.
The Myers family coming forward gave Paige a reason; they extended their necks waiting for Paige to strike, so they couldn't blame her.
Simon and Frederick already understood the key point and knew that the Myers family was going to go bankrupt.
However, the Myers family deserved it; they bullied Amelia and openly insulted her in public.
Amelia had already made her stance clear; it was Barry who insisted on coming forward and publicly proposing.
Skipping the dating phase and directly proposing, one must have a problem to do such a thing.
After lunch, they returned to the company, rested a bit, and then prepared for the afternoon meeting.
Meanwhile, Pearl had already started targeting the Myers Group.
The afternoon meeting went smoothly as usual. Paige, being pregnant, felt tired after working for too long.
So before the meeting ended, after discussing the main issues, Paige left early to go to the lounge.
Amelia had already prepared fruits and snacks to be sent over.
Paige sat there, already on a video call with Pearl.
In just half an afternoon, there were already some gains.
Paige looked at the performance Pearl was showing and ate the fruit Amelia handed to her.
"Not bad, at this rate, the Myers family will probably come to apologize before the end of the day." Paige said to Amelia.
Amelia smiled and said. "The best decision I ever made wasn't trying to seduce Louis, but choosing to follow you."
Paige asked, "So, you were willing to seduce Louis back then because you had some feelings for him, right?"
Amelia's face immediately turned red, and she turned around pretending to get some fruit, not letting Paige see through her. "I just didn't dislike him. After all, he had a good reputation. At least he wasn't like Barry, who never spoke harshly to me even after everything happened."
Paige had almost forgotten that after that incident.
Louis didn't blame Amelia much, nor did he retaliate or anything.
Louis must have been angry about that incident, but one had to admit, Louis was quite tolerant. In this regard, Louis's upbringing was much better than Barry's!
Francesca really taught Louis well!
The Carnegie family's traditions and rules were indeed of top-notch aristocratic style.
No wonder Amelia liked him.
Regardless of what Louis meant to Paige, one couldn't deny Louis's image in other women's hearts.
Amelia liking Louis was understandable now.
Louis's abilities were outstanding among his peers since he was handsome, and he maintained a good physique.
His temperament, looks, were all excellent, and he came from a wealthy family, running a company. How could such a man not attract other women?
Paige said, "There's nothing wrong with liking him. I just won't interfere in your matters. You two can let things develop naturally."
Paige didn't know if Louis was interested in Amelia.
But Amelia should know that Louis might not have much room for love in his heart.
Naturally, Paige didn't know if he still thought that way now.
After experiencing so much, it was hard for a person not to change.
Amelia adjusted her state, turned around, and handed the fruit plate to Paige. "Forget it, you'd better eat it yourself. So many delicious fruits, and you're still teasing me. These were all ordered by Raymond, not only expensive but also hard to get."
Amelia didn't want to talk about Louis or feelings, so she pushed all the fruits to Paige, letting her eat them.
Paige suddenly smiled, "Still shy, my point is, if he values you enough, I'm happy to see it happen."
Yes, Paige was happy to see it happen, but with conditions.
Paige was involved in the things Louis did before.
She and Amelia had such a good relationship, she didn't want to see Amelia get hurt.
Amelia wasn't an unclear-headed girl; she probably knew it well, so she always admitted to seducing Louis but never admitted to liking him.
Temptation was just desire!
Liking was different; liking was serious, heartfelt.
A serious relationship carried weight.
Soon, Paige and Amelia tacitly moved past this topic.
Paige didn't force anything between the two.
She wouldn't suggest anything to Louis for Amelia's sake, fearing it might harm Amelia instead.
She also wouldn't matchmake Amelia and Louis for her own benefit, even though their union would be more advantageous to her.
Paige ate while keeping an eye on Pearl's movements.
Seeing Pearl about to deliver a fatal blow to the Myers Group, Paige knew they were about to hit the Myers family's weak spot.
At this moment, Frederick walked over with a phone in hand. "Ms. Ellison, Amelia, guess who called?"
Paige glanced at Frederick, not interested in guessing, but she already knew in her heart.
Amelia asked, "The Myers family?"
Frederick laughed, "Yes, the Myers family called. Barry was on the phone questioning me if today's trouble for the Myers family was caused by us."
Amelia said, "What did you say?"
Frederick replied, "I just said, let's see who goes bankrupt first! Barry immediately hung up the phone!"
Seeing Frederick laughing so happily, Paige shook her head, "Get ready to work overtime tonight."
After a whole day of meetings, they should have been resting, but to coordinate with Pearl's work, overtime was inevitable.
Frederick said excitedly. "Today will be the happiest overtime I've ever had!"
Saying this, Frederick walked out in a good mood, even grabbing an expensive fruit to munch on as he left.
Amelia rolled her eyes at Frederick's back, "You really know how to pick; I didn't even dare to eat that!"
Paige handed her the fruit she was holding. "Here, eat it."
At this moment, Pearl's voice came through the video, "Ms. Ellison, it's done!"
Paige's attention was pulled back, looking at the screen Pearl was showing her.
A smile tugged at the corner of her mouth; the Myers family was too impulsive.
It seemed that when Frederick came in earlier and said Barry called to confirm that the Smith family was targeting the Myers family, they couldn't stay calm and fell into the trap immediately.
The main reason was probably that the Myers family considered themselves powerful and thought the Smith family was just nouveau riche with weak strength.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have stepped into Pearl's trap so quickly.
Paige instructed, "Bring your team over; there should be a good show later, don't miss it."
Pearl used to be just an ordinary work machine, but now she also enjoyed watching the drama.
The Myers family, having confirmed that it was the Smith family taking action, was doing everything they could to strangle the Smith family.
But ultimately, they couldn't hold on.
At the Smith Corporation, no one knew why they were suddenly required to work overtime, but no extra work was assigned, just triple overtime pay. Everyone willingly sat at their desks, refining their usual work over and over again.
In the middle of the night, the Myers family finally couldn't stay calm.
Several luxury cars stopped in front of the Smith Corporation building. Simon had already informed the security downstairs that if the Myers family came, they should be brought up directly without obstruction.
So Leroy and Barry quickly came upstairs.
The meeting room had long been cleared, and the three members of the Smith family had been waiting inside for a while.
When Leroy saw Simon, Frederick, and Amelia, he was still furious. "Simon, what exactly did you do to the Myers family?"
Simon remained calm, after all, he was on the winning side now. "Mr. Myers, today's matter could have ended with an apology from everyone. I didn't want it to escalate to this point. Once a fight starts, it doesn't end easily, you know that."
Leroy cursed, "I know? I know your Smith family doesn't have the capability. Suddenly daring to target our Myers Group, you really have some nerve."
Frederick spoke up, "Mr. Myers, it's not just our courage that's grown, our strength has too. Haven't you noticed? I believe everyone in Northwind can see that the Smith family and the Universe Group are getting closer. In this high society, fewer and fewer people point at us and call us nouveau riche. Those voices have diminished significantly; if you haven't noticed, who can you blame?"
Amelia also smiled and said, "From the beginning, I rejected Barry. I can't even understand why there was a public proposal."
Saying this, Amelia looked at Barry and seriously said, "Barry, no matter what kind of woman I am, I don't fancy you!"
This was a hundred, a thousand times harsher than Barry's previous insults to Amelia.
Barry immediately got angry and was about to curse back at Amelia, but Leroy held his hand.
But Barry wasn't planning to let it go and still said to Amelia, "Amelia, do you think your Smith family has won? I'm telling you, dream on! When we win this round, I'll make you the lowest of whores!"
Amelia frowned, feeling even more disgusted by Barry.
The Smith family members' faces also changed immediately, but before Simon and Frederick could speak, Paige's voice came from outside. "Who is so arrogant to bully my friend?"
Saying this, Paige walked into the meeting room.
When Leroy saw that it was Paige, he suddenly stood up.
At this moment, he finally realized that the familiar figure he brushed past at noon, which he didn't pay attention to, was actually the CEO of the Universe Group, Xanthe Ellison!
