Chapter 553


    The suppliers who were at the side sneered, “Ms. Raynor, need I remind you that as businessmen, the


    sanctity of contract is what we hold dear.”


    “If you are unable to respect it, you might as well step down from running thepany.”


    Turning her attention to the supplier’s representative, Susan retorted, “Are you here to end your


    coboration with Reagan Pharmaceutical?”


    “I’m sure you are aware our purchases from you run into hundreds of millions. If Reagan


    Pharmaceutical were to fold, your losses would be devastating. Please bear that in mind.”


    The supplier responded, “That’s right. I admit that yourpany has generated a lot of profit for us. But


    it remains to be seen whether it will be the same going forward.”


    “Honestly, a business would fail if a woman were running the show. Given that we have no confidence


    in your leadership of Reagan Pharmaceutical, we don’t see a point of working together anymore.”


    Susan demanded, “What are you trying to say?”


    The suppliers were direct. “It’s simple. You have to be willing to transfer your stake in thepany to


    Mr. Hugh. We would only be willing to continue working with thepany if he is the major


    shareholder.”


    Turning towards Jacob, Susan sniggered. “I understand now.”


    “You’re the one behind everything. From the workers’ strike to the supplier and distributors’ demands to


    cancel our contracts.”


    “Do you realize what you’re doing now is considered amercial crime? You will be punished as a


    criminal!”


    Jacob smiled smugly. “Commercial crime? Ms. Raynor, please choose your words wisely.”


    “Without any evidence, I can sue you for defamation.”


    “Our partners trust me instead of you. Why don’t you reflect on your own mistakes instead of ming


    someone else? Don’t you think you are going overboard?”


    “Besides, I agree with them. It’s bad to have a woman running the show. A woman like you is unable to


    run such argepany. You should transfer your shares to me before you lose everything.”


    Susan gnashed her teeth. “You must be dreaming.”


    “Even if thepany goes bankrupt, I will never allow your scheme to seed.”


    Jacob rebutted angrily, “Hmph, you really don’t appreciate our good intentions. You will regret this.”


    He raised his voice so all could hear, “Ms. Raynor, how could you still spendvishly on luxury goods


    when thepany is on the brink of copsing? You’re simply too much.”


    “Your new car alone must’ve cost at least a million, right?”


    “And the jewelry you’re wearing must’ve cost at least five hundred thousand!”


    “Not to mention the Dior perfume you’re using has a price tag of two hundred thousand minimum.”


    “The money you can save from not buying that bottle of perfume can be used to pay the workers’


    wages. Unless you think that their lives are not worth as much as a bottle of perfume?”


    Jacob’s words riled the crowd and they started to curse and swear.


    “F**k! We’re broke to the extent we can’t afford to buy food and yet she’s here splurging on luxury


    goods?”

    “My mom needs the money for her medical bills and yet Ms. Raynor is still livingrge. It seems that the


    rank and file employees don’t matter to her at all.”


    “I heard someone said that Mr. Hugh sold his car and house to raise cash for our wages, but the new


    boss had spent it all.”


    “A person like that doesn’t deserve to be our boss.”


    Panicking, Susan desperately tried to exin herself, “Don’t listen to Jacob, he is just trying to sow


    discord among us.”


    “I bought all those things a long time ago with my own money. They have nothing to do with the


    company...”


    However, her voice was drowned out by the chorus of voices cursing her.


    Suddenly, eight burly men emerged from the crowd and charged towards Susan with malicious intent.
