This was the first time Charlie had the pleasure of meeting Doris, and he had to admit she was truly stunning. At around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, Doris possessed a slender yet curvy figure, a captivating presence, and an air of maturity thatmanded respect.


    Sitting across from Doris at her desk, Charlie began, “I won’t be in the office often, so I would like you to oversee thepany on my behalf. Additionally, please keep my identity confidential.”


    Doris recognized that Mr. Wade, seated before her, hailed from the illustrious Wade family. For a family of such prominence, Emgrand Group was merely a small enterprise, so it was understandable that he wouldn’t manage it directly. She quickly responded, “Of course, Mr. Wade. Just let me know if you need anything; I’m here to assist you.”


    At that moment, a secretary knocked on the door, saying, “Miss Young, a man named Gerald White and his fiancée are here to see you.”


    Doris replied without hesitation, “I’m currently meeting with a VIP; please have them wait.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Curious, Charlie asked, “Do you know Gerald White?”


    Charlie’s tone turned cold as he stated, “From now on, Emgrand Group will cease all business rtions with the White family. Halt any ongoing or nned projects. If the White family profits from ourpany in any way, I will reconsider your position as vice chairman!”


    Doris was taken aback, realizing someone from the White family must have offended him. She nodded vigorously and eximed, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade! I will instruct my staff to terminate all coborations with the White family immediately!”


    Charlie nodded with satisfaction and added, “Inform them that Emgrand Group has no interest in associating with lowly garbage. Have security escort them out.”

    Meanwhile, outside the office, Gerald and Wendy waited anxiously. The White family had always aspired to be key yers in the Emgrand Group coboration. Gerald hoped to build a strong rapport with Doris Young to strengthen their family’s ties with thepany. However, the unexpected happened when Doris’s secretary approached them with a few security guards.


    “Excuse me, may I know if Miss Young is avable to meet with us now?” Gerald asked, confusion etched on his face.<fn20dd> Discover more novels at find?novel</fn20dd>


    Coldly, the secretary replied, “I’m sorry, but our vice chairman has stated that Emgrand Group has no interest in coborating with lowly garbage like you. All partnerships with your family are canceled effective immediately!”


    “What did you just say?!” Gerald gasped in shock, his jaw nearly hitting the floor. Why did that remark sound so familiar? Oh right! Charlie Wade had said the same thing in the parking lot! What did Doris Young mean by that? Did she truly intend to end all coborations with the White family? Anger surged within him, clouding his thoughts.


    What was happening? All projects canceled? A significant portion of the White family’s ie relied on their work with Emgrand! If they terminated ties, it would severely impact their wealth. He couldn’t ept this harsh reality. He shouted, “I demand to see Miss Young! I want to ask her personally!”


    The secretary shot him a frosty re. “I’m afraid Miss Young will not see you, and you are no longer wee here!”


    Gerald protested vehemently, “Are you kidding me? We are long-term partners with Emgrand! She can’t just end our projects like this! Don’t push us!”


    The secretary ignored his outburst and directed the guards, “Please escort them out!”


    The head of security swiftly moved in, grabbing Gerald’s wrist and twisting it painfully behind him.


    Gerald winced in agony as Captain Cooper sneered, “Get out of here! If you cause a scene at Emgrand Group, I’ll make sure you regret it!”


    “You’re just a security guard! How dare you speak to me like that? Do you know who I am?” Gerald retorted, infuriated.


    Captain Cooper responded with a sharp p across Gerald’s face, dering, “And what are you in the eyes of Emgrand Group?”


    Gerald felt the sting of the p, embarrassment flooding him. Just as he was about to explode with fury, his phone rang—it was his father.


    He answered, and a furious voice boomed from the other end, “You fool! What did you do? Emgrand Group wants to terminate all projects with us! Who did you offend?”


    Gerald whined, “No, Dad, that’s not true! I didn’t offend anyone. I just came to see Miss Young, but I never even got to see her…”


    His father shouted again, “Emgrand Group said they’re cutting ties because of you, the lowly garbage! You’re the reason our family is facing such a loss! Get back here and exin this to your grandfather!”


    Stunned, Gerald clutched his phone as he and Wendy were forcibly escorted out of Emgrand Group’s main entrance.


    Suddenly, Charlie’s face shed in his mind. He turned to Wendy and asked, “Wendy, is this rted to your pathetic cousin-inw? Does he have any connection to Emgrand Group?”


    “Huh?” Wendy was taken aback. After considering the situation, she realized it could indeed be connected to him, but he was just a loser!


    She shook her head firmly, saying, “No, there’s absolutely no way he has anything to do with Emgrand Group. He’s not even qualified to clean their toilets!”


    “You’re right…” Gerald nodded, feeling defeated. As he thought about his furious father, he said, “I need to go home right away…”


    Before long, news of the White family’s ousting from Emgrand Group spread through Aurous Hill like wildfire. No one knew the specifics, but it was clear that the White family must have crossed Emgrand Group in some way. The family’s standing plummeted, their wealth shed by more than half, and they fell from being a top-tier family to a second-rate one.


    Lady Wilson trembled with rage upon hearing the news. She considered breaking off Wendy’s engagement to Gerald, but even after this setback, the White family remained more influential than the Wilson family. Reluctantly, she decided to endure the situation for now.


    ***


    Back in Doris’s office, Charlie was impressed and satisfied with how things unfolded. He appreciated her swift and decisive actions.


    With a pleased smile, he said, “Doris, excellent job! Starting today, I’m doubling your sry.”


    Doris gasped in surprise, standing up to bow respectfully. “Thank you, Mr. Wade!”


    Charlie nodded and continued, “I need you to make two announcements.”


    “Yes, please go ahead,” Doris replied.


    “First, announce the change in Emgrand Group’s ownership and the appointment of a new chairman, but keep my identity under wraps. Just refer to him as Mr. Wade.”


    “The second announcement will be about Emgrand Group investing two billion dors to construct a six-star hotel in Aurous Hill and inviting tender bids for partners. All construction and interior designpanies in the city are wee to participate!”


    The main business of Wilson Group revolved around interior design and construction. The olddy would jump at the chance to work with Emgrand. Winning the bid with Emgrand Group would make anyone the most sought-after professional in the industry. Now that he owned Emgrand Group, Charlie could offer his wife some lucrative opportunities.</p“yes,>
