Go After My Ex-wife -
Chapter 435 A Disgusting Man
"Old Master Harvey had once advised him to stay away from politicians, as the relationship with them would eventually become complicated. After the incident, Calvin couldn't agree more. " "They were helpless, unable to do anything, and were forced to obey Sergio's orders. Although they had done nothing wrong, they had been charged with a serious offence. How infuriating!'
"Back then, Old Master Harvey had been threatened by a politician as well. Hence, he went the extra mile and tried to groom Martin to be a politician, so that he could protect Harvey Group in the future. It was a pity that Martin did not appreciate what he had done and his efforts had been wasted.
"
"The members of the Harvey family could only be associated with politicians who were part of the family. Staying away from politics was one of the rules that Old Master Harvey had emphasized to the younger generations. However, Calvin had been blackmailed, despite being cautious all this while. He was forced to deal with a politician, and there was no way he could get himself out of it."
"Mr. Xanthe, you may be a public official. However, regardless of what authority you have, we are just citizens who have always obeyed the law. I don't believe that you can distort the truth deliberately and ignore the law. I'll like to warn you again that we have always followed our principles and regard integrity as something of high importance. Hence, we are not afraid to have you here. You better investigate the matter thoroughly or I will definitely sue you, Calvin said through gritted teeth."
"He was not threatening him. Harvey Group was a big company. They would not be as foolish as to be involved in the leaking of the nation's top secrets. All these years, the Harvey Group had contributed a lot to society. Everyone was aware of their contribution. Calvin believed that Sergio could not determine the Harvey Group's fate as he wished."
"The Xanthe family had lots of connections, but so did the Harvey family. Calvin refused to believe that Sergio would be able to keep them on a short leash.
"Sergio was shocked when he heard what Calvin said. Calvin's words rang true. Although he was a public official, he could not act as he wished. After all, the Harvey Group was pretty powerful as well. "
"At that moment, he decided to tone down his arrogance. However, he retorted with a sneer. """Calvin, I don't care what you say, nor do I care about the connections your family has. We have found evidence that you guys were involved in the leaking of the nation's top secrets. What's more, I'm not kidding around. Those pieces of evidence were found by my superiors. We have every right to believe that you guys are guilty. If you wish to prove your innocence, you must show us some evidence."""
"Once he had finished his sentence, he furrowed his brows and sniggered. "Well, we find the office on the 86th floor to be unsuitable. It's too far from your office where orders are being given. Hence, it would not facilitate our investigation. We will like a room next to your office, so that we will be near. This will enable us to collect all the necessary evidence more efficiently."""""
Sergio snapped. His expression was unreadable and he no longer cared what they thought.
He even wanted an office beside theirs to keep an eye on them. It was infuriating!
A raw burst of rage rose in Calvin. This guy definitely had some ulterior motives for being here. He even wanted to keep an eye on them all the time. How disgusting!
"However, they had no choice but to obey. He was a public officer and he was here to investigate the matter. What could they do? Belle forced a smile and replied, """'Mr. Xanthe, that would not be an issue. We have not done anything wrong. Hence, we are not afraid. You may investigate as you wish.""""
"After saying that, she went out of the office and called for Yuri. "
"Yuri, clear up the room opposite my office for Mr. Xanthe and his team. They won't need the room on the 86th floor anymore. She instructed quickly. """Besides, ask some cleaners to clean up the room. Be quick."""
"I'll get it done right away. Upon receiving the orders, Yuri left immediately."
"Belle returned to her office. ""Mr. Xanthe, is the arrangement okay for you?""""
"Yes. Sergio spun around to look at her. Her eyes were brimming with tears and her smile was strained. Nevertheless, there was a fierce determination in her eyes. Sergio was moved. "
"She and Calvin had already gotten a divorce. However, she still returned to his side. He was afraid that it would be difficult for them to overcome the challenge this time around. Hence, he sighed. " Zoella would not let the Harvey Group off the hook so easily. He was well aware of that.
"If that's the case, you may do as you please. We will like to discuss something in the meantime. Belle was afraid that Calvin would blow a fuse. Hence, she wanted to bring him back to his office. To her dismay, she heard Sergio saying, ""From today onwards, we will record whatever you do. You must cooperate with us all the time. We have the right to know what you are doing."
What? Were they going to restrict their freedom?
Calvin's cheeks burned with anger and he clenched his fists again.
"Sure, we will obey whatever you say. We need to work right now. Now that we have recalled the cars, there is a lot that we need to do. We will be in the office right beside yours and you may investigate as you wish, Belle responded as she led Calvin back to his office. "
F*ck. Calvin slammed his fist against the table upon sitting down at his desk. His eyes were bulging from their sockets.
"To all the executives, gather in the conference room. We will be having a meeting. He turned on his laptop and sent an email."
"Soon, Calvin, Belle, as well as the other executives gathered for a meeting. That night, the building remained brightly lit as everyone stayed behind, trying to find a solution to the matter. They had begun to accept their fate. What a cruel thing!"
Everyone was under immense pressure due to the incident. It was a disaster that threatened to ruin everyone in Harvey Group.
"As the cars had been recalled, the production line was stopped. Around one hundred thousand employees all around the world were forced to stop what they were working on. If the matter could not be resolved, those people would lose their jobs.
"
"Calvin understood the consequences, so did Belle. In fact, everyone in the room was well aware of it. Hence, a heavy silence fell upon the room. "
This was the greatest blow that the Harvey Group had ever suffered in history. It came as a shock to everyone.
"Meanwhile, in the Jones Group, Matteo was reading the headlines of the newspapers through his glasses."
"The Harvey Group was forced to recall all their cars. However, the newspaper did not state the reason. Everyone was guessing what had happened. They agreed that the Harvey Group was done for and their cars would never be introduced into the market again."
An enigmatic smile crept across Matteo's face.
There was a sound of approaching footsteps.
He raised his head and adjusted his gold-rimmed spectacles.
Zoella who was looking very stunning and was dressed elegantly appeared before him.
"Hello, Chairman. Zoella put on an elegant smile and bowed slightly as she greeted him. "
"Zoella, you are here. Great! Matteo beamed from ear to ear. He stood up and pointed at the couch next to him, indicating Zoella to have a seat. """Please have a seat."""""
Zoella flashed him a smile and sat down.
The secretary poured her some tea and handed it to her. She took a sip of the tea.
"Chairman, the company is doing great recently. Am I right? Zoella asked casually as she took another sip of the tea.
"Yeah, it's all thanks to your suggestion. He looked at her, with a large grin splitting his face. """It looks like you are indeed remarkable. You are a successful businesswoman. Not only are you smart, but you are also capable.""""
A faint smile touched the corners of her mouth.
"At the beginning of the year, she suggested to Matteo to invest in the production of cars. Back then, he hesitated when he heard the suggestion. At first, he wanted to withdraw from the car industry. After all, they were not good at producing cars. Besides, the market in the car industry was monopolized by the Harvey Group. It was not the right timing to produce new cars, as they would not be a match for the Harvey Group."" "
"However, he changed his mind after what happened that day. He finally realized that Zoella had a shrewd business acumen.
The cars that the Harvey Group was so proud of had been recalled within a day. There was no longer a car manufactured by the Harvey Group available on the market. "However, there was a huge demand for cars. Hence, everyone turned to the Jones Group.
"The market needed a new source. Therefore, all the cars that they have produced were sold within a day. Everyone panicked when they received the news that the Harvey Group was doomed and placed thei orders with the Jones Group. They had received many orders and were facing a shortage due to the excessive demand. "
"It was all thanks to Zoella and her suggestion. However, it was a pity that they had not produced more cars previously and were forced to cancel some orders. The Sky Sword Group was developing rapidly as well. "
Matteo was over the moon. He had chosen a capable daughter-in-law.
"Zoella smiled and replied, "'""'Chairman, you flatter me. I'm here to tell you that I plan to expand the Sky Sword Group. If I'm not mistaken, we will soon become one of the top-notch companies in the nation and shall eventually surpass the Harvey Group. We will soon be one of the largest companies in the world. Chairman, stay tuned for the good news.'
п
"Are you sure? Matteo was jubilant and ecstatic. A look of joy and satisfaction lit up his eager face. ""Zoella, go for it. Don't worry, I will support you no matter what.""""" "Thank you, Mr. Jones. Zoella smiled and bowed slightly. She checked the time and got up, preparing to leave."
"Oh, by the way, Zoella, you must be busy. I have decided to ask Oscar to come over to A City and keep you company. He would be able to help you. After all, you are just a woman. It will be great to have a man by your side. Matteo pretended to be very kind and considerate as he revealed the news."
"Zoella was stunned when she heard what he said. However, she soon came to her senses. She understood his intentions. He did not arrange this for Oscar to help her. Oscar would be there to keep an eye on her. How could that jerk help her? He was unworthy of her. It was already a blessing if he did not cause her any trouble. Help her? What absolute nonsense! His vulgar appearance would only affect her mood negatively."
How could she work alongside a jerk such as him?!
Fury vibrated through her body. She masked the hatred in her eyes and forced a smile.
That's great! I'm more than happy for him to come if he wishes to. She smiled and answered right away.
