“How are you going to refute against this?”
Elodie wasn’t willing to admit defeat, but…there wasn’t anything she could say. Even when she searched through her memory in detail, she indeed could not find a single example for when she had made a contribution.
“You relied on grandfather’s protection to get through each day, whereas, I used my abilities to save Miller Corps from a crisis. No matter how I look at it, this position does not belong to you.”
“You…you’re talking r*bbish!”
“Elodie, even you’re doubting yourself,” Emma smirked. “Miller Corps has been through so much whilst upholding a responsible attitude towards its business and consumers. When met with something unsuitable for the company, we need to get rid of it as soon as possible. This is something that grandfather has always believed in.”
“That’s why we hold a new product launch every single year…”
“Elodie, people have self-awareness. We should deal with our own private matters in private. Today is a big day for Miller Corps. I’m sure the guests are here to see our new perfume and not to see you…”
Everyone laughed.
The topic of discussion was easily diverted by Emma back to the main theme of the event, saving the situation. Eric reacted quickly by gesturing for Herman to remove Elodie from the audience and the atmosphere quickly returned to normal.
“Sorry for making everyone witness a joke.”
Emma apologetically bowed to everyone. She was like a different person to the intimidating Emma just a moment ago.
She understood the weight of a matter and when to advance and retreat. So, everything she did today, received praise from the guests.
If someone still suspected that Emma relied on Eric to handle a crisis, then after this incident, they were completely convinced by Emma’s high EQ. She managed to twist an argument and divert everyone’s attention to the introduction of their new perfume. She supp**ssed Elodie fair and square and destroyed her dreams, while promoting the professionalism of Miller Corps. This was her way of acting responsibly towards everyone.
“As everyone can see, Miller Corps’ perfume appeared in front of everyone after many difficulties. In the end, we used a strict approach to place the finished product in front of all of you.”
“When faced with problems, we always resolve it quickly.”
“Let’s welcome the newest addition to the Miller Corps collection!”
In the end, Emma faced the guests in her most elegant state. At this moment, she wasn’t a model nor an actress, she was merely the CEO of Miller Corps; the Emma that took her work seriously…
…
Above and below the stage, Elder Miller and Chester both took a deep breath. Neither of them expected that the Product Launch would be able to resume as normal, but Emma managed to make it happen. She saved Miller Corps once again…
Meanwhile, Elodie was desperately trying to free herself from Herman’s restraint as he dragged her out of the hotel. However, there was no use.
“Brother Four, let me go.”
“Let you go so you can go back there and continue to embarrass Miller Corps?” Herman asked. “I’m sure you know that Sister Three went easy on you today. If she revealed all the dirty things you’ve done, did you think you could still remain in New York?”
Elodie looked at Herman and sneered, “I’m your actual sister…yet, how are you treating me?”
“You’ve finally remembered that you’re my sister?” Herman sneered back. “Since we were young, when have you ever upheld your responsibilty as an older sister?”
“Whether it was when I was small or now, whenever I faced difficulties, the person to step out and shield me has always been Sister Three, not you…”
“What right do you have to request for me to treat you sincerely?”
Elodie was rendered speechless.
“Don’t you know what a failure you are as a person? Don’t even dream about taking over Miller Corps anymore, focus on your child instead. At least, for the sake of your child, grandfather can still provide you with a roof over your head. Otherwise, who do you think you are?” After speaking, Herman released his grip on Elodie’s wrist, shoved his right hand in his pocket and turned to leave the quiet corridor, leaving Elodie all alone to face the long red carpet in a daze.
At this moment, Elodie couldn’t explain her emotions. She simply felt a burning at the back of her throat.
Was she destined for failure?
She still had a Miller Family descendent in her stomach, so she wasn’t completely empty-handed! She wasn’t willing to accept anything that Emma had said that night because she was the eldest.
No one was allowed to destroy all the effort she had put in – not even Emma.
…
In the end, Miller Corps’ Product Launch ran smoothly. As for the tricks that Shayan wanted to play, he didn’t get a chance to play them because Elodie was an idiot with a pig’s brain.
If she had been a little less hopeless and endured for a little more, she would not be in her current predicament.
By exp**ssing her displeasure at the Product Launch, she was pretty much telling everyone that she couldn’t continue staying in Miller Corps.
More importantly, Emma’s words clearly told everyone that Elodie had no ability to lead Miller Corps…
She had practically closed the door on Elodie’s dream to seize control of the company.
So, what use did Shayan still have for Elodie? All she had left was the child in her stomach…
After what happened, Shayan grew interested in Emma. He refused to believe that a woman could be so powerful that even a man would have to bow down before her.
But, that was because he had never experienced the methods of the man behind her.
Of course, the game wasn’t over yet for Emma. The show today was merely to prevent Elodie from ever entering Miller Corps again…
After what happened, Elder Miller could finally let out a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but praise Emma. She wasn’t just the average kind of powerful person…
If she could continue to be in charge of Miller Corps, how good would it be?
Too bad, all Emma was currently thinking about, was how to make Elodie pay back for what she had done to Bertha.
After Miller Corps’ Annual Product Launch, the new perfume produced by Miller Corps became a hot selling product. It seemed, the commotion caused on the night, was not enough to effect the operations of the company. In fact, it allowed the consumers to see the strict approach of Miller Corps’ management as well as their intent. Most importantly, they witnessed Emma’s capability.
After Emma gave Miller Corps a cleanse, investors and clients felt a lot more confident in the company. At the same time, the shareholders were given an indirect warning: the Miller Family wasn’t useless!
Meanwhile, Bertha’s secretary wanted to take advantage of the messy situation to make her escape.
In reality, from the time she returned from Switzerland she had continuously been in a frightened state. She originally thought that their plan was a success, but who would have thought that Emma would end up taking the position of Acting CEO.
She knew that Emma was extremely capable, so she didn’t dare to stay in Miller Corps for much longer. She secretly got news of the situation in Miller Corps and waited for the moment when she thought Emma had her guard down to leave New York. Unfortunately…
…her every move was within Eric’s grasp. As soon as she stepped foot into the airport, Eric’s people immediately took her away.
In an instant, she was delivered to the CEO’s office of Miller Corps. As she looked at Emma, she guiltily took a few steps back, but was stopped by the security guards behind her.
“What are you trying to do? Emma, what you’ve done is illegal.”
“Illegal?” Emma lifted her head and looked at the secretary with a slight coldness. “Did you think of the legalities when you schemed against my mother?”
The secretary trembled as her hands began to sweat, “President Cooper was kidnapped by criminals…What has that got to do with me?”
“Then why didn’t they kidnap you as well?” Emma asked back. “Secretary Gulfman, we are both understanding people, so let’s not go around in circles. Since I knew your every move, it’s obvious that everything that you and Elodie have done, has been under my observation…”
“Even if you don’t tell me what happened, I can investigate the truth. But, I’m afraid that won’t be very beneficial to you.”
“Of course, it simply means I need to do a bit of extra work. So, I’ll leave that for you to decide.”
After speaking, Emma lowered her head and continued working. But, the less noise that Emma made, the more Secretary Gulfman trembled in fear. She was well aware that the woman in front of her wasn’t Elodie. She wasn’t the Big Miss that could be easily fooled into giving her money.
“I will only give you one minute.”
