Silly Bride Chapter 129
Chapter 129
The conference room was portioned into two separate sections.As Winnie stood at the outer section,
she could clearly see what was happening inside the inner section via the huge ss walls.Daniel, who
was supposed to host the meeting, was reced by another person at thest minute.This person was
ingratiating himself with Nathaniel; his expressions and bodynguage clearly showed that he was
trying to get into Nathaniel’s good books.That was because he knew that Nathaniel was the future
owner of Gand Group.As for the rest who did not have the chance to get close to Nathaniel, they all
had nervous expressions on their faces.They were worried about what might happen to their existing
benefits and jobs now that Gand Group was going to change hands.Among these people, only
Hamish was visibly out-of-ce.He was very startled and furious at the same time.Hamish knew he
caused Gand Group to sustain heavy losses. Thus, he was mentally prepared for the worst-case
scenario.That was to relinquish all titles and work with his greedy cousin, ande up with a n to
save thepany. All in the hope of making aeback in the future.However, Hamish did not expect
that the Gand Group, which he had been helming for more than a decade, was secretly sold off by
his cousin, Daniel, and the group of people present in the conference room!Further, it was sold to a
foreigner!“You! And you! All of you!” Hamish, fuming with anger, started pointing at the members of the
Gand family in the conference room. “When did all of you start to work with an outsider? What a
bunch of ingrates! We may be fighting internally but what you all have done is despicable!”Those who
were berated by Hamish got upset.“Hamish, what right do you have to me us?” “Back then, if you
did not y favoritism and married that retarded Winnie off to the Fairchild family, we wouldn’t have
been ostracized by them.”“Gand Group had been going downhill for these few years, and it was
made worse when you infuriated the Fairchild family.” “Not to mention the investment projects which
you injected a huge amount of funds into. All your investments were loss-making ventures; we didn’t
even get to enjoy any dividends.”“If we don’t sell off our shares now, we’ll end up being debt-ridden like
you.”“Before you me others, take a good look in the mirror first. Look at yourself; you’re truly a good-
for-nothing inside and out!”“I guess we can’t expect much from an illegitimate child. Old Mr. Gand
must have been blind when he passed thepany to you.” “If your older brother hadn’t passed on so
early, Gand Group definitely wouldn’t havended in the hands of an illegitimate child like you.”It had
been a long time since anyone brought up the matter of Hamish being the illegitimate child of the
Gand family. It was an emotional trigger and remained a thorn in his flesh.Hamish gave a deadly
stare and shouted, “D*mn it, I dare you to say it again!”“I will! You’re an illegitimate child, and everyone
here knows about it! Bore by a lowly hostess, you’re a worthless person!”Bang! Enraged, Hamish took
a chair and threw it toward the person opposite him.The person did not take it lying down, either. He
climbed onto the table and advanced toward Hamish.Nathaniel did not expect that Gand Group had
fallen to such a pathetic state. He just watched on nonchntly as the drama unfolded before him.
Although he brought along two security guards, he did not ask them to stop the fight.That was because
Nathaniel knew Winnie was watching outside.Hamish was her father and enemy. If Winnie did not
intend to stop him, Nathaniel would not poke his nose into it.At this moment, Winnie was sitting on a
couch in the outer section of the conference room. She was sipping coffee rxingly as if watching a
show.The female assistant, Jasmine, who was standing beside her, started to worry.She asked softly,
“Ms. Gand, a fight has started inside. Do you want me to get the security guards?”“No need.” Winnie
frowned slightly. Scenes of this man abusing her mother when she was young started to sh across
her mind once again. Her lips curled slightly. “I should be thankful for that person who’s getting his
hands dirty on my behalf. Why would I rush to stop him.”But the drama ultimately ended.There was not
a single person in the conference room who was on Hamish’s side.Furthermore, they did not wish to
leave a bad impression in front of Gand Group’s new owner. Thus, some people quickly broke up the
fight.After all that, Hamish was still disgruntled. He banged the table and shouted at Nathaniel, “I am
the major stakeholder of Gand Group. I own forty percent of the shares, and including my wife’s ten
percent, I have a fifty percent say in thepany. Even if you buy the shares from the market and the
traitors here, you can’t possibly own fifty percent. Hence, Gand Group is still under my control.”“Shut
up!” A bespectacled man who got into a fight with Hamish earlier sneered at him. “You must have gone
mad. After the restructuringst year, you’re only left with thirty percent, while your wife only has eight
percent now! Plus the fact that you used your shares as mortgage and coteral, you have long beenContent ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.
debt-ridden! Even a security guard in Gand Group is wealthier than you! Stop embarrassing yourself
here!”Hamish immediately fell into despair as the cold hard facts poured over him.Yes, he was well
aware that he had been debt-ridden for a long time.Seeing that these people finally settled down for a
moment, Nathaniel pinched between his brows and stood up.The bespectacled man hurriedly followed
Nathaniel when he saw him leaving his seat.Nathaniel was not fond of such interactions between a
superior and a subordinate. Thus, he gestured to the bespectacled man not to follow him anymore.The
bespectacled man took the hint and went back to his seat.He even instructed the rest, “Calm down,
everyone. Let Mr. Quinn have a moment of peace.”Nathaniel walked over to the edge of the ss wall.
He was indeed slightly exasperated.The senior management of Gand Group was the messiest and
most disunited management he had ever encountered.Nathaniel stared at Winnie through the ss
wall and gave her an eye signal. It was as if he was begging her toe in quickly and clean up the
mess.Upon seeing Nathaniel’s signal for help, Winnie shrugged her shoulders and put down her coffee
cup. She stood up and made her way to the inner section of the conference room.As Nathaniel was
standing near the ss wall, the seat for the CEO was empty.After a brief exchange of nces with
Nathaniel, Winnie walked straight toward the seat.In full view of everyone, she pulled out the seat and
sat on it.Her actions were swift and clean, yet elegant and natural, filled with assertiveness. This was a
far cry from the dumb girl who was dragged by Daniel into a room to have forced sex with him.Although
the bespectacled man felt a bit overwhelmed by her intimidating presence, he quickly reacted and
started to act as the guardian of Gand Group’s new owner. “Winnie, who allowed you in here? How
dare you take that seat? You’d better get up now. You have no business in here. Get out!”“Ha…”
Winnieughed lightly. Her eyes suddenly turned sharp. “I’m not leaving; all of you will be leaving
instead. Starting with you, Felix! And him, Jason, and him… All of you here, pack your bags and get
ready to scram.”After one round, almost everyone present was called out by Winnie.These people were
already jittery about their future as Gand Group changed hands.Now that they were being called out
individually by Winnie in this manner, it was as if they were being summoned to the guillotine.“Who
gave you the authority to do this?”“Yeah, what right do you have?”“Mr. Quinn has not even spoken!”The
bespectacled man was pressured by the rest to act as their representative. He approached Nathaniel
for verification. “That’s right, Mr. Quinn. Today’s meeting is for internal stakeholders, so it’s not
appropriate for unimportant outsiders to be present, right?”Nathaniel knitted his brows and questioned
the bespectacled man sternly, “Who told you that she was an unimportant outsider?”
