This was the perfect example of a crisis transformation.
So, at the next board meeting, the atmosphere in the room was extremely awkward.
In other words, plenty of them were too ashamed to face Emma.
Of course, Emma didn’t care, “I have already satisfied your request. Does anyone still have any objections towards me being the Acting CEO?”
The room was filled with silence…
“Good, I assume you all admit defeat. Time to clarify some other issues. As most of you know, I like to make people pay for what they’ve done.”
Emma scanned her eyes across everyone in the room and brought up the first issue, “Who was the one that leaked the VIP list to the public?”
Everyone was stunned. Was this something that could still be found out?
“Don’t look at me. This list did actually exist, but it was never revealed to any of the departments yet, so how did this person get their hands on it?” Emma retrieved her outstretched hands from the table and crossed them in front of her ch*st with a calm smile, “I bet this person is here amongst us.”
All of a sudden, everyone seated was in danger of being suspected. They didn’t understand, Emma was obviously younger than them, but she somehow had an intimidating presence similar to Elder Miller.
“Originally, leaked information could be immediately blocked from circulation, but who escalated the issue and pushed it to a point of no return?”
Everyone looked at each other suspiciously. Only those that had nothing to hide remained calm.
“Fine, let’s put this issue aside for now. As I’m aware, many of you still feel that my identity is an embarrassment to Miller Corps and that Elodie should be put in charge instead. So, why don’t we hand the remaining problems as well as the Annual Product Launch over to Elodie. Any opinions?”
The meeting room suddenly fell into complete silence.
“What? Now that the crisis is over, you should all be more than willing to do this. After all, I’m just a mere entertainer…”
By this point, not only everyone in Miller Corps, but even the entire outside world were aware that Emma had saved Miller Corps in one fell swoop. On top of that, the Switzerland contract was also thanks to Emma’s efforts.
So, how could anyone be shameful enough to still refer to Emma as an entertainer that only slept with men and entertained them?
“Since I am just temporary, you are free to recommend someone else.”
Emma stopped and waited for a response.
“The Third Miss indeed has effective methods. But as shareholders, for the sake of our own interests, it was normal for us to doubt your abilities. As for resolving the company’s crisis, that was something you should have done to begin with,” Shayan said calmly.
“Although the Big Miss is limited in her abilities, she is still your older sister. To slap her in front of everyone isn’t an action suited to your identity.”
Emma stared at Shayan as a slight smile appeared on her face, “It appears Director Lin wants to lay all the cards on the table.”
“What should I be afraid of?” Shayan asked.
“Fine. From now on, you can all handle any matters yourselves. I never wanted the position of CEO anyway.” After speaking, Emma stood up to leave, but the remaining shareholders began to exp**ss their opinions.
“Third Miss, things have already gotten to this point. Miller Corps can’t do without you.”
“Emma, don’t act recklessly. This is a matter of all our interests…”
Hearing this, Emma suddenly started laughing, “As you’ve said, this is a matter of YOUR interests. What has it got to do with me? I don’t care whether or not I sit in this position. I made a move not because it was an obligation like Director Lin made it out to be.”
“Did you think I care about this little bit of power?”
“If you don’t give me the respect I deserve, why should I run around working so hard for you? You don’t think I have better things to do with my time?”
“If everyone thinks that Elodie can help them achieve higher profits, then go ahead and look for her. I have no emotional attachment to this position. But, if you want me to continue on as the Acting CEO, then please don’t tell me how I should be treating Elodie from now on!”
“You are not in my position and Elodie has not achieved what I have already achieved!”
Shayan had nothing to say.
Emma wasn’t a two-faced person; if she hated someone or were disgusted by them, it would be directly displayed on her face.
The sisters had never mixed, so Emma did not need to hide her true feelings.
Emma was obviously trying to kick Elodie out of Miller Corps. Plus, according to her usual methods, it was possible that she would completely uproot her and destroy any power that she still held within Miller Corps.
Faced with Emma’s bold attitude, the shareholders couldn’t help but feel convinced by her. Two victories in a row was something they had to acknowledge.
So, after the meeting ended, Emma directly instructed for Elodie to be dismissed, not even leaving a simple role of secretary for her.
Elodie stormed into the CEO’s office, but Emma was nowhere to be seen.
“You won’t even let your own sister off. Emma, aren’t you afraid of retribution?”
In the end, Yannick couldn’t stand being hassled anymore and replied, “President Miller said that she is in charge here. Dismissing you is her basic right.”
“Emma…Emma, come out here and explain yourself…”
“Miss Miller, I think it’s best if you go home and focus on your pregnancy. If anything happens to your child, we can’t take responsibilty,” Yannick said as he blocked the office door.
“Emma, don’t assume that you can kick me out of the company like this.”
Inside the office, Emma was seated on the sofa resting her eyes. She had no intention of showing Elodie any mercy.
“President Miller, I’ve finally sent her away.”
“Clean up the staff that are involved with Elodie. Deal with them the way that they should be dealt,” Emma replied with her eyes closed.
Yannick nodded his head and took a deep breath, “I hope Miller Corps would be at peace from now on.”
“Peace?” Hearing this word, Emma sat up and laughed, “Elodie still has a bargaining chip in her hands; the child in her stomach. Plus, did you think Elodie managed to plan the leaking of the VIP list, all on her own?”
“What President Miller is trying to say is…’
“Let’s not talk about it for now and focus on preparations for the Product Launch instead,” Emma did not continue. They were both smart people, so there were some things that did not need to be explained in detail.
Like this, Emma used her lightning-fast methods to take control of Miller Corps. And because of her two spectacular victories, she went from appearing on the entertainment news headlines to appearing on the financial news headlines.
The only thing that Emma was worried about, was the fact that her pregnancy would become harder and harder to hide.
After all, the baby in her stomach was growing bigger every day.
…
Everyone quickly found out about Elodie being kicked out of Miller Corps. This was the second time that this had happened to her. The first time was when Elder Miller kicked her out, this time…
…she was actually kicked out by Emma!
Elodie’s reputation had long been destroyed. It was originally expected that, after experiencing a fall, she would change for the better. But, seeing Emma kick her out of Miller Corps so resolutely, it was obvious that a leopard could not change its spots…
As soon as Elder Miller heard that Elodie had been dismissed, he immediately put down his fishing rod. This time he was in trouble, the person at home was going to be hard to deal with, “Couldn’t Emma have been gentler?”
But, for the sake of the child in Elodie’s stomach, Elder Miller calmed down and packed away his things to return home. Just as Assistant Marco drove in through the driveway of the Miller Household, Elodie could be seen kneeling on the ground soaked in rain water.
“Assistant Marco, hurry,” Elder Miller immediately gestured for his assistant to bring Elodie an umbrella.
Assistant Marco seemed to have predicted this scene as he hurried over and covered Elodie with an umbrella.
“What are you doing? How could you torture your body like this? You don’t know how to act like a mother at all,” Elder Miller helped Elodie off the floor, “Follow me into the house.”
“Grandfather…in your heart, am I never comparable to Emma?” Elodie’s face was pale as she asked. Although she was putting on an act, she was actually filled with anger and resentment.
“Come home with me first,” Elder Miller dragged her into the house before he instructed the maids to help her get tidy up.
“Chairman, I’m afraid the issue hasn’t ended,” Assistant Marco said as he watched Elodie walk away.
