She had to stay away from this man, for it was difficult to deal with him.
“Elspeth,”
Arthur called out lightly from behind.
“See you in Damoria.”
…
Elspeth arrived at the airport in Damoria the next day.
Her winter clothes were out of place compared to others at the airport since it was summer in Damoria.
Clad in a face mask and sunglasses, she looked vigilantly at the people around her.
Although she had been in a foreign country for a long time, she had never forgotten that she was regarded as a dead person in Damoria.
If anyone saw her alive, they would be frightened.
She looked around for the familiar car plate. When she registered the black Maybach’s presence in the distance, she strode forward.
After opening the door, she entered the car and took off her down jacket.
“I’m melting. I didn’t know it was summer in Damoria.”
When Elspeth saw the clothes fit for summer in the vehicle, she thought that Harper was such a considerate guy.
Seeing that, Harper lowered the windows and left the car.
Elspeth quickly got changed and told Harper to get in.
She hadn’t seen Harper for two months, so she was surprised to see him looking more sedate than he used to. Perhaps many things had happened recently.
“How have you been?”
Harper forced a smile.
“I’m fine.”
In the past, he would’ve started teasing Elspeth in such a situation. She instantly realized the severity of the matter.
“Has anything happened to the company?”
Before she left, she had entrusted Harper to deal with the company’s affairs. Has something serious happened?
Faced with the question, Harper could no longer conceal his uneasiness.
“Miss Lynwood…”
Harper hung his head low and sounded guilty.
“The company is facing a huge problem.”
Elspeth had already expected it, but when she heard it from Harper, she still felt slightly nervous.
“What happened?”
Harper bit his lip. There was a hint of bewilderment behind his dark gaze.
“I think they’ve joined forces to suppress us because they believe you’re dead. They’re trying to gobble up our assets or force us to go bankrupt.”
Elspeth’s gaze turned cold. Do they think we’re pushovers or something?
“What about Gilbert? Did you look for-“
She caught herself, for she realized she had said something silly.
Gilbert hadn’t settled his own issues yet, so why would he even have time to help the Azure Corporation?
Elspeth let out a sigh.
“Let’s go back to the company first. I’ll see how to deal with this issue.”
Harper nodded and drove the car to the Azure Corporation.
The moment Elspeth decided to return to Damoria, she knew that she would have no choice but to reveal that she was still alive. The news wouldn’t spread to Blaydal so quickly, so the Jonesons wouldn’t make a move just yet. As such, she directly attended the urgent meeting.
Apart from Harper, everyone in the meeting room was shocked.
The ladies, who were on good terms with Elspeth, were dumbfounded.
“Are you not dead, Miss Lynwood?”
Everyone in Damoria knew that she was dead at that time, so many people felt sorry for her.
“What are you talking about? If I’m dead, who is it in front of you now? A ghost?”
Elspeth looked at them with a smile.
“You’re finally back, Miss Lynwood! Do you know that many companies have been oppressing us? Our finances are in bad shape!”
the man at the front cried. He was the finance manager, so he was fully aware of the company’s finances.
“It’s no big deal. How much longer can our finances last?”
After giving it some thought, the man came up with an accurate number.
“It’ll be another 20 days before we’ll go bankrupt.”
“Alright. During this period, all of you just come to work as usual.”
All of them were stunned.
“How are we supposed to deal with the crisis?”
Elspeth replied reassuringly,
“Just leave it to me. Don’t worry. I’ll save the company from the crisis.”
That’s right. She’s Elspeth, one of the most famous presidents in Damoria! She founded the company before she was even 20. In just two years, she propelled the company to be one of the largest in Damoria. As long as she’s around, we won’t be defeated!
After they were gone, Harper said worriedly,
“Miss Lynwood, you understand that it’s a serious issue.”
“I know it’s serious. That’s why I told them to calm down and come to work as usual.”
Elspeth knew that it was pointless to discuss with them.
Their opponents were targeting her.
They had the audacity to do such a thing because they believed she was dead, so no one in the company could turn things around.
Elspeth decided to hold this urgent meeting because she wanted to reassure them and make sure they would go on working as usual.
Harper could barely conceal his worry.
“What should we do, then?”
Other than the Winthrop Group, all other companies in Damoria were suppressing them.
