Chapter 249 She Is Not a Decent Person
As soon as Clara opened her mouth, Oliver didn't have a chance to stop her.
The room's temperature plummeted instantly.
A chill spread through the air.
Everyone knew that Natalie's mom, Amelia, had passed away years ago, and it was a sore subject for the Clark family.
If Ulysses heard this, he might have Clara taken out on the spot!
Clara had the nerve to insult Natalie and her mom right in front of her?
Seeing Natalie's face turn icy, Mary knew something was up.
She glanced at Oliver. He had been furious, but now he was holding back.
Just when everyone thought things were about to blow up.
Natalie's cold eyes locked onto Clara.
Her gaze was deep and dangerous.
She spoke, her voice like ice.
"Clara, have I been too soft on you?"
From the moment she spoke, Natalie had no plans to let her off easy.
Clara was stunned and about to react when Oliver grabbed her arm.
"Shut up. This isn't your place to talk."
Clara was confused by Oliver's attitude.
"Oliver, I'm doing this for you."
Oliver gritted his teeth, frowning, clearly annoyed.
"Natalie, she didn't mean it; don't take it to heart. But business is business; why not go after a project that can make money for the company? We hired a top-notch research team, including big-name experts and professors from all over. Even if someone investigates, we've got nothing to hide!"
Natalie sneered, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"This project is decades ahead in research, a breakthrough like no other. Which expert did you hire?"
All the experts and professors in the country combined couldn't hold a candle to Kyle!
They had some nerve to say they created the product by just hiring a few experts!
Trying to ruin this project and the Clark Group's reputation?
No way!
"It's Upton Hall, a famous physicist. He's published in international journals. With him on board, who can say we're plagiarizing?" Mary said proudly.
It was a top-tier professional in physics.
Even if she mentioned it, Natalie wouldn't get it.
Oliver stepped forward, softening his tone, trying to give Natalie an out.
"Natalie, your dad and I are like brothers. There's no way I would do anything to harm the company."
Natalie looked down, her tone flat.
"Uncle Oliver, the people my brother sent to audit won't come back empty-handed. It's too easy to uncover the messy accounts in the Jackarta branch. Before coming here, I already talked with my dad. The company in Jackarta will declare bankruptcy and restructure, and internal personnel changes will be made. Clara, Mary, and their group of poor relatives, all out. If you take on the contract compensation, you can stay as the legal representative of the new company. If not, then retire."
She wasn't negotiating; she was announcing.
Everyone, hearing this, visibly relaxed, like they saw a light at the end of the tunnel!
While Clara and Mary's faces went stiff, turning grim.
Years of hard work, shattered just like that?
Oliver glared at her, his face turning red with anger.
His previously relaxed brows furrowed again.
He couldn't believe Ulysses would do this to him and immediately tried to call him.
But the call didn't go through.
His expression grew more angry and anxious.
Natalie smiled.
"My dad took a private jet for vacation early this morning. The Clark Group is now under my control."
So, Oliver could forget about begging Ulysses for mercy!
The Clark family had done all they could!
She slowly stood up, her gaze sweeping over everyone, especially pausing on Clara and Mary's faces.
Her eyes locked onto Mary's face.
"Your mom isn't dead, but it's a pity she doesn't act like a decent person."
