Chapter 83 The Fatal Blow
Joleen Lewis suddenly thought of something and reminded, “What about the shares of the Sean Group? You are a shareholder of the Group. Although snatching away so many people will cause the Sean Group to suffer losses, you didn’t gain much from it.”
“I’ve already sold it.”
Amanda Jewell took out an agreement. “Jake Sean has always wanted to acquire the Sean Group. When he heard that I had a falling out with Halley Sean, he contacted me as soon as I left and gave me this agreement. It will take effect as soon as I sign it.”
“Jake Sean? Halley Sean’s Second Uncle?”
“Yup.”
As the uncle of Halley Sean, Jake Sean also had a certain number of shares in the Sean Group. However, he had his own career and was not on good terms with the Sean family in his early years. He built his own company from scratch and now it was much more popular than the Sean Group.
However, people always had their obsessions. Take Jake for example. Although his career was booming, he was always trying to pit himself against the Sean family.
Amanda raised an eyebrow. “If it weren’t for their Old Master’s bias towards his eldest son when he was still alive, Jake Sean would have been the most suitable person to inherit the family business. What a pity.”
“He will have a chance for his success. Isn’t this another chance for him?”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Joleen crossed her arms and leaned against her desk. “But I’m afraid you’ll have to go through a lot of trouble soon. You should pay attention to your safety.”
“What are you afraid of? Is he going to block my way again?”
“That’s not necessarily true. A man with nothing is not afraid of anything.”
“A lean camel is still bigger than a horse. the Sean Group hasn’t reached the end yet, so it’s unlikely that Halley would be driven to desperation.”
Taking a sip of coffee, Amanda glanced at the resumes on the table out of the corner of her eye and instructed, “Set the staff list before tomorrow. The company’s first project is about to start.”
…
In the afternoon.
In the Sean Group.
“Bang!” With a loud bang, something was smashed in the president’s office and could be heard clearly through the heavy door.
There were people from several departments gathered outside, whispering to each other.
“What’s going on? Mr. Sean suddenly stopped the meeting halfway and got angry here.”
“Don’t you know that the Human Resources department is in a mess? Many people left our company at noon today, all of whom are the backbone of each department, especially the Engineering Department. Even Mr. Ewell has left.”
“The chief engineer has left? What’s going on?”
“They left at the same time. It’s obvious that they have made an agreement. I just don’t know which company is so capable that they are all going there.”
…
While everyone was guessing, a woman’s shrill voice came from behind. “What are you doing here? Do you have nothing to do?”
“Miss Fane.”
Seeing that it was Olinka Fane, someone asked cautiously, “Miss Fane, I heard that Mr. Ewell has left with a lot of people. Is that true?”
“What’s there to discuss about such a small matter? It’s just a normal flow of personnel. the Sean Group wouldn’t be affected by such a small matter.”
Olinka glared at the group of people. “Why aren’t you going to work? If you don’t want to work, you can resign now. The Sean Group won’t keep you.”
Everyone scattered like birds.
After dismissing the crowd, Olinka took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the president’s office.
As soon as she entered the door, there was a loud bang, and an ashtray fell. The broken glass pieces splashed directly beside her feet, which gave her a fright.
The manager of the Sales department was being scolded badly by Halley Sean.
“What are you doing as the head of the Sales department? You didn’t know that your best salesperson was going to resign until three days after he lost contact with you. What have you been doing these three days? Do you know how many customer resources he took away?”
The sales manager didn’t dare to say a word and lowered his head to be scolded.
Olinka coughed. “President Sean.”
Seeing that Olinka was here, Halley managed to rein in his temper and bellowed at the sales department manager, “Get out!”
The office door closed, and the room fell silent. The atmosphere was terrifyingly heavy.
“How is it? Have you found anything?”
“I’ve got it.” Olinka took a few steps toward her desk with a complicated look on her face. “Those who resigned all went to the same company.”
“I didn’t know they are going to the same company. Which one?”
“Safe Home Real Estate.”
“Safe Home? What Safe Home? Is it not from Ducco?”
Halley knows almost every real estate company in Ducco. He had never heard of any Safe Home Real Estate.
Olinka took a deep breath. “The boss of the Safe Home is Amanda Jewell.”
Upon hearing this, Halley was immediately startled.
Olinka said, “She wants to ruin us all. The core members of the Sean Group were all taken away. Without them, there’s almost no way for us to complete the new project. I’m afraid the board of directors will hold us accountable.”
Only then did Halley recover his senses. “How is that possible? She’s a shareholder of Sean Group. Harming us won’t do her any good! What’s the use even if she takes away our core members? Her company is new anyways!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone on the table rang.
Halley picked up the microphone. “Hello?”
“Jake?”
…
Olinka’s heart sank when she saw the darkening expression on Halley’s face.
“Thank you for your concern, Jake. I will attend the shareholder’s meeting on time.”
Halley finished his sentence with a fake smile. The moment he hung up the phone, he threw it down hard. Olinka was shocked by the splash that came out of the broken wires.
“What’s wrong, Halley?”
Halley put his hand on the desk and said through gritted teeth, “Amanda, she sold her shares to my Second Uncle.”
“What?”
“The company is going to have a board meeting. Jake Sean is going to change the president. He also said…”
“What did he say?”
“He said that if I couldn’t hold on, he could consider taking over the Sean Group and merge it to his own company.”
When he talked about this, Halley gritted his teeth so hard that they almost shattered. He said angrily, “Amanda Jewell! What a great Amanda Jewell! Working against me! The Sean Family has invited a wolf into their home!”
“Halley, where are you going?”
“She wants to destroy the Sean Group. I want to see how her Safe Home can possibly open!”
“Halley!”
Three days later, Safe Home officially opened for business.
During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, many friends in the industry sent flowers to congratulate Amanda Jewell.
In the office, Amanda gathered everyone.
“Everyone, sit down and relax. Our company is not big and there are not many people. You don’t have to be too reserved.”
With Mr. Ewell as the representative, everyone received their bonus and their faces lit up with joy.
The employees encouraged, “Miss Jewell, it’s the first day of business. Say something! Cheer everyone up.”
Amanda smiled calmly. “I don’t have much to say. I just want to say, let’s work hard, do things well, and earn money. As long as the company has profits, everyone will have a great future.”
“Alright!”
Applause filled the office.
Just then, a man’s voice came from the door. “A bright future? Just because of you?”
