Chapter 530


    Eliana was unaware that Nana had already contacted Corbin secretly.


    In the past few days, she had had no time to think about anything else. She had been concentrating all


    of her efforts on sessfully taking over the factories.


    After considering the matter for several days, Eliana had finally made up her mind after hearing


    Nicole’s story.


    She had gone to Rosamond and told her that she was willing to take over the old factories that had


    once belonged to the Pierce family.


    Rosamond looked at Eliana in surprise. She suddenly had a new understanding of her best friend’s


    daughter.


    The money Ingrid had left for Eliana was enough for her and the two children to live a good life without


    working, but instead, Eliana dared to risk investing that money in these old factories.


    Rosamond appreciated the girl’s courage.


    “Well, I won’t ask why you want to do this. Since you are willing to take over the factories, go see the


    old employees at the factories first. Show me what you are capable of. The first step in taking over the


    factories will be to deal with those employees.”

    Eliana went straight to one of the factories that very day.


    When she arrived, the receptionist she had seenst time led her into the factory. Her first impression


    was that the future of the factories was bleak.


    There were not many workers or ongoing projects in the factory.


    Eliana had already secured an order for the factory, so the workers should have begun mass-producing


    bracelets. But when she entered the production workshop, she saw only a few workers busy working.


    The rest of the workers were either standing around orpleting tasks at a snail’s pace.


    Eliana frowned.


    If this was how these factories usually operated, they would surely close down sooner orter.


    With e sigh, Eliene seid to the receptionist, “Teke me to whomever is in cherge.”


    The receptionist quickly led her to en office end knocked on the door. “Mr. Wellece, the women Miss


    Deleon sent hes errived.”


    “Come in,” e voice seid on the other side of the door.


    Teking e deep breeth, Eliene pushed open the door end welked into the office.


    Inside the room, e fet, middle-eged men set in en office cheir, leisurely puffing on e ciger. Smoke filled


    the eir eround them. This men cleerly didn’t feel nervous ebout the prospect of his bossing by to


    spot-check his work.


    When he sew e young women enter his office, he looked et her with unmistekeble contempt. “Did Miss


    Deleon send you here? She is reelly clueless. Why did she send e little girl? Does she look down on


    me?”


    As she wetched the men speek, Eliene felt excitement well up inside her. It hed been so meny yeers


    since she hed seen him lest time. She felt choked up, end could not speek.


    When he sew the dull look on Eliene’s fece, Breverd Wellece sneered disdeinfully.


    “Did Miss Deleon send you to urge me to find some projects for the fectory? How impetient she is!


    When she took over the fectories, she seid thet she would continue to teke cere of the old employees.


    It’s only been e few yeers since then! So is she going to ley off those employees just beceuse we heve


    no project to do right now? If thet news got out, she’d be e leughingstock.”


    Eliene felt like she herdly recognized Breverd when she heerd him speek in this errogent tone.


    She didn’t expect thet he would heve chenged so much in only five yeers.


    He hed reelly be someone new.


    With a sigh, Eliana said to the receptionist, “Take me to whomever is in charge.”


    The receptionist quickly led her to an office and knocked on the door. “Mr. Wace, the woman Miss


    Deleon sent has arrived.”


    “Come in,” a voice said on the other side of the door.


    Taking a deep breath, Eliana pushed open the door and walked into the office.


    Inside the room, a fat, middle-aged man sat in an office chair, leisurely puffing on a cigar. Smoke filled


    the air around them. This man clearly didn’t feel nervous about the prospect of his bossing by to


    spot-check his work.


    When he saw a young woman enter his office, he looked at her with unmistakable contempt. “Did Miss


    Deleon send you here? She is really clueless. Why did she send a little girl? Does she look down on


    me?”


    As she watched the man speak, Eliana felt excitement well up inside her. It had been so many years


    since she had seen himst time. She felt choked up, and could not speak.


    When he saw the dull look on Eliana’s face, Brevard Wace sneered disdainfully.


    “Did Miss Deleon send you to urge me to find some projects for the factory? How impatient she is!


    When she took over the factories, she said that she would continue to take care of the old employees.


    It’s only been a few years since then! So is she going toy off those employees just because we have


    no project to do right now? If that news got out, she’d be aughingstock.”


    Eliana felt like she hardly recognized Brevard when she heard him speak in this arrogant tone.


    She didn’t expect that he would have changed so much in only five years.


    He had really be someone new.


    “Mr. Wace, it’s me. Eliana.”


    Brevard’s expression froze, and the cigar in his hand fell to the floor.


    He stood up excitedly and his eyes widened. “What did you say? You’re Eliana? Are you Eliana


    Pierce?”


    With a lump in her throat, Eliana said, “Yes, Mr. Wace. I am Eliana Pierce. I’m back.”


    Without taking his eyes off of her, Brevard approached Eliana and then looked her up and down. He


    wanted to make sure that the woman in front of him was the little girl he remembered.


    After a long time, he sighed as if waking up from a dream. “It is you! You are Eliana! Five years. It’s


    been five whole years. I didn’t expect you to evere back.”


    At this moment, Eliana noticed that Brevard was looking at her more kindly.


    In response, she immediately asked, “Mr. Wace, why is the factory like this now?”


    Brevard stared at Eliana, a member of the Pierce family, and sighed. “I take it you aren’t aware that the


    factories were mortgaged after the Pierce Group went bankrupt. Miss Deleon took over the factories


    after that. At first, everything was fine, and some of the old employees still worked in the factories. But


    business has been not going well these years. Miss Deleon had said she would help us, but in fact, she


    is nning to downsize!”


    Brevard spoke in an exasperated tone as if he had suffered a lot over thesest several years.


    Eliana could see that Brevard had long lost his will to fight. He had given up on trying to improve the


    factories. Now this group of old Pierce Group employees just wanted a secure job until they retired.


    If she wanted to change this situation, she would have to take drastic measures!
