Chapter 630
Edward voiced his skepticism, his words laced with sarcasm. "I trust you're not simply offering empty assurances," he warned. "We can only afford to halt the construction site for three days. Any further delays would be catastrophic." Cassie merely nodded in response, "Understood."Charles, the chairman, voiced his concerns anxiously once the shareholders had departed. "After three days, if the construction companies hasn't resumed operations, you'll no longer be fit to hold the chairman's position," he cautioned Cassie. "I hope you genuinely have a plan in place. This is no time for jest.""Return to your duties, I'll handle this issue," Cassie assured him. Cassie then proceeded to open her notebook. Jan observed her with a puzzled expression. Ever since her return, Cassie had radiated an inexplicable confidence.News of the severed cooperation between Madison's three major construction companies and Peace Group spread like wildfire. The following day, Peace Group's stock took a nosedive, plummeting by eight points.While dining in the cafeteria during lunch, Cassie received a call from Joseph. His voice oozed arrogance. "Beg me. Agree to a divorce and I'll handle the construction companies," he proposed."No need, I have my own methods," Cassie responded calmly.Joseph sneered at her refusal. "Is your plan to arrange a meeting with the CEO of the construction companies, only to have them ignore your calls?" he taunted.
"You've gone to great lengths to divorce me. Did you have a hand in the chaos within those construction companies?" Cassie smiled and asked."All of this is your own doing," Joseph retorted harshly. "Had you not been so ruthless towards Megan and harbored delusions, I wouldn't have had to resort to such measures. I suggest you sign the divorce papers promptly and spare yourself the trouble. I can dismantle you slowly.""Your beloved Megan seems to enjoy playing the victim," Cassie remarked nonchalantly. "If you enjoy the game, then by all means, continue."Joseph was infuriated by Cassie's casual tone, to the point where he nearly shattered his phone.Fine, he would let Cassie be stubborn. Let her bask in her pride. Once the three-day deadline passed, he would see how much she regretted her actions.At 4:30 p.m., Cassie rode the elevator downstairs. She noticed the manager of the marketing department ingratiating himself with Megan.As she approached, Megan quickly defended, " Cassie, don't misunderstand. We were merely discussing work."The manager chimed in, "Megan, there's no need to explain. We were simply conversing. Besides, today might be Cassie's last day as a director." Cassie's icy gaze fell upon Manager He.A wave of superiority washed over her, causing a brief moment of discomfort for the manager. However, he quickly masked it with a disdainful expression. Pretending to be superior? Anyone could do that." Cassie, they were just talking to me. You don't need to involve your personal animosity towards me with them," Megan defended, positioning herself behind two executives, implying that any action Cassie took against them would be seen as personal revenge."And what are you doing here?" Cassie asked indifferently. "Are you here to put on a show for me every day, making me sick?""I wasn't," Megan quickly denied, her face taking on a pitiful expression, as if she was on the verge of tears. "I forgot to hand over a document during the last handover, so I came to deliver it.""Manager, take the document and return to your work. It's office hours. You can socialize after work," Cassie dismissed them, uninterested. Cassie attempted to leave, but Megan deliberately leaned into her path. Their shoulders collided, causing Megan to stumble backwards and fall to the ground."Megan."A tall figure swiftly rushed over and helped Megan to her feet.Witnessing this scene, Cassie suddenly understood everything.This trap was truly disgusting.
