Chapter 398 The Daybreak Group’s Support
“They didn’t make things difficult for you, did they?” Mariela said in a soft voice.
“No…” Although she had been put in a difficult position, warned, and even threatened, Gabrielle did not say anything at this time. Gabrielle knew that Mariela was upset enough. Gabrielle just said, “Ms. Robins, what should we do next…”
“Come with me to the meeting room.” Mariela took the documents they had prepared and directly rushed to the meeting room.
Gabrielle always felt that today’s Mariela was a little different, as if she had changed into a different person and become a little bit stronger.
“Oh right. Ms. Robins, you fainted at the competition scene today. Someone poisoned you… Are you okay?” Gabrielle followed behind Mariela and asked carefully.
“It’s fine.”
“That’s good…” Gabrielle breathed a sigh of relief. She thought of something and said, “You were so cool at the competition today. The design was simply amazing. Many people were amazed by your design. Do you know that because of this competition, the stock price of our group has increased a lot? Those old directors probably wanted to drive you out of the group because they were afraid that you would be too popular. I think that only someone as powerful as you is qualified to take care of the group.”
Mariela did not expect Gabrielle to be so loyal. At this time, Mariela suddenly thought of something and ordered, “Get someone to check if the two receptionists downstairs have done anything against the group rules and regulations.”
“Ms. Robins, I know about this! There is no need to investigate. They used to think about seducing David, making false expenses, being late, and leaving early but having a full attendance bonus. I know better than anyone else… I have long disliked them…”
Gabrielle stopped and then asked, “Do you want to fire them?” Gabrielle could not help but ask.
“Yes, I also want to claim compensation.”
Gabrielle did not expect that Mariela had changed. She had become courageous. Gabrielle immediately became excited. “Then I will deal with this matter. I guarantee that they will regret it!”
When they arrived at the conference room, Gabrielle pushed the door of the conference room open for Mariela. Unexpectedly, this action immediately caused an old director to come out and mock them.
“You are a CEO, and you are putting on airs in front of us old employees. You don’t even know how to push the door…*
Gabrielle panicked. She clearly wanted to push the door open for Mariela, and it wasn’t Mariela who ordered her to do this…
These old directors were trying to find a way to make things difficult for Mariela…
“You think you are awesome just because you got a third place? Do you want to take over the group? You are insolent!” One of the old directors slammed the table angrily, and his imposing manner shocked everyone.
Mariela looked at the shareholders and directors in the room, and finally looked at Marty Flynn and smiled coldly.
“Then, may I ask what awards have you won in this industry for the past twenty years? The third place in the international fashion design competition. Have any of you received any of that kind?”
In a single sentence, the entire audience fell silent.
Gabrielle’s chest was thumping. She did not expect that when Mariela arrived, the atmosphere would be immediately tense…..
“We only need to know how to run a business,” Marty said disdainfully.
“Are you talking about business with me? Oh… Then may I ask, before the competition, who can boost the stock price like today?” Mariela looked around and asked coldly. “No, right?”
“You are just basking in the glory of the competition!”
“Yes, but you can’t even have this glory!” Mariela placed the trophy on the conference table with a bang, and the audience-quieted- down once again. They didn’t dare to voice their anger.
Mariela took out the document that the board of directors had prepared before and slapped it directly on the conference table. “What nonsense are you writing? You didn’t even write the statement smoothly. How can you have the nerve to compete with me for management rights while you can only write like a primary school student? This group was founded by my grandfather. What does it have to do with you?”
Marty had nothing to say. Another director, Ricardo Hayes, couldn’t help but say, “In short, the board of directors is qualified to dismiss you!”
“Yes, as CEO, I am not qualified to dismiss any one of you here. I can only accept the fate of being dismissed by you. But today, I got the shares!”
All the shareholders and directors were shocked and looked at Mariela at the same lime.
Everyone knew that Ernesto, Mariela’s uncle, stole the shares in the hands of Mariela and Evelyn. Later, Ernesto, his wife, and Jessie died. Because the case was still being investigated, the shares had
not fallen into the hands of Mariela.
However, not long ago, David had voluntarily given his shares to Mariela to reduce his sentence, and the fact that Ernesto had illegally possessed Mariela’s shares was found out. Now, according to the procedures, the shares had been successfully transferred under Mariela’s name.
To put it simply, Mariela was currently the largest shareholder in the group.
“With my current status, I can dismiss any one of you here.”
“You…” Ricardo was so angry that he threw the employee ID hanging on his neck onto the conference table. “Fine! I can leave. I want. to see if the company can continue to operate without me.”
“What’s so great about it?” Marty also threw down his employee ID, obviously opposing Mariela.
Gabrielle at the side couldn’t help but worry about Mariela. These two directors were too much. Weren’t they clearly trying to embarrass Mariela?
Unexpectedly, Mariela, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, smiled coldly as if she had already expected it. “Is there anyone else who wants to leave?”
Once this was said, the entire audience fell silent once again.
“No more? Just two?” Mariela felt that it was funny. Wasn’t the entire board of directors wanting to dismiss her? Why were there only two people who dared to stand up now? Where were the other directors?
“I’ve already hired some people from abroad. Any positions you have here will be taken over by newcomers.”
“Mariela, what do you mean by this? Do you want to replace all of us?” Another director, Shane Harvey, slammed the table angrily.
“I didn’t say that. I just invited more talents. It’s better to be prepared.”
“I have worked with your father for many years. If he knows…” Shane pointed at Mariela angrily.
Before Shane could finish his sentence, Mariela interrupted, “If he knew that you changed sides, supported Emesto to take over the group, and thought of ways to take the shares in our hands and ****his wife and daughter after he passed away… Do you think that you can still sit here considering my father’s temper?”
“You…” Shane did not expect Mariela to change into a different person after *****in the competition.
Mariela instantly changed her expression and slammed the table angrily. “Do you all deserve to talk about the past with me?”
The whole room was silent again…
Gabrielle was stunned. She didn’t expect Mariela to be so awesome today…
At this time, an employee knocked on the door of the conference room and pushed the door open.
“I’m sorry to disturb you. Ms. Robins, Mr. Lusk of the Daybreak Group is waiting for you in the lounge. He said that you haven’t finished discussing the cooperation just now. He wanted to know how long it would take here.”
The Daybreak Group?
Mr. Lusk?
Everyone was shocked. How could such a big shot discuss cooperation with a small group like theirs…
No wonder Mariela was so ***. It turned out that she had a relationship with the Daybreak Group and had their support…
