Chapter 466


    Now, Maja was checking out Zoey’s resume.


    Zoey just joined thepany earlier this year. Maja called her in.


    Zoey was twenty–one, petite, and cute..


    Maja looked her over and said, “Do you think you can handle being the president’s assistant?”


    Zoey was a bit taken aback, but she nodded anyway.


    She had heard about the new president’s style; it was a chance for promotion for her.


    “Then go to HR and handle the transfer procedures;e to the top floor of thepany in the


    afternoon; I’ll arrange a workspace for you.”


    Zoey nodded again. she wasn’t much of a talker, but she would do as Maja said.


    Maja was quite pleased with her.


    On the other hand, Carlene, who suffered a major blow yesterday, was crying her eyes out.


    She heard that Edith had woken up, so she went to see her early in the morning.


    Edith was back at Raymond Mansion when she heard that the court was still waiting for her to appear.


    She was so angry that she almost passed out. “That woman, ugh.”


    Edith could just skin Maja!


    Carlene brought gifts to see Edith, and then she cried on the side.


    “Edith, I’ve been so insulted, I dare not go out and meet people or attend any events.”


    Edith coughed a few times, then asked Selena.


    “What does the Pennyfeather family’spany do?”


    Selena wasn’t interested in the Pennyfeather family; she only knew that the Raymond Corporation had


    invested a lot of money in theirpany and that the Pennyfeather family was always losing money.


    Carlene chimed in..


    “Edith, they make paint.”


    Edith’s eyes squinted. “Carlene, you guys do real estate; would acquiring this paintpany be


    beneficial to yourpany?”


    The corners of Carlene’s mouth twitched slightly upward. “Yes, but I’m afraid if I make a move on the


    Pennyfeather family, Grandpa Holden will be mad. And I don’t know whatn thinks. Most importantly,


    the Pennyfeather family is a listedpany; it would be a bit difficult for us to acquire them right


    away.”


    The Shepard family was already at the threshold of the elite, but there was still a gap with elites like the


    Pennyfeather family.


    They could acquire the Pennyfeather family, but it would require long–term effort, which was boring.


    Edith sneered, “I’ll calln now and have him send someone to help you acquire the Pennyfeather


    family, and he can also fund you some money. After all, you’re going to marry into the Raymond family;


    his money is your money.”


    Hearing this, Carlene’s breathing became a little shaky.


    But the next second, Edith’s tone turned cold: “But that fake painting–don’t ever give it to me again; you


    embarrassed me.”


    She did mind, butpared to Maja, Carlene was a lot better.


    At least Carlene would try tofort her, while Maja would only confront her.


    People like obedient, controble ones.

    Besides, Eric might like Carlene, and whatever Eric liked, naturally, was the best.


    By evening, Maja had finished dealing with thepany’s affairs and was about to leave when Zoey


    came in. She had spent the entire afternoon sorting out all the problems thepany had had in the


    past.


    “Ms. Pennyfeather, you need to check these files.”


    Maja was obviously surprised; she hadn’t expected Zoey to be so capable.


    She had a fairlyprehensive understanding of thepany’s overall situation when she


    investigated the senior management of thepany, but Zoey provided more detailed information,


    which surprised her.


    Ms. Pennyfeather, around three o’clock this afternoon, apany bought 3% of ourpany’s shares,


    and some people are gradually getting in touch with other senior executives. I guess they might be


    secretly acquiring ourpany.”


    Maja frowned at such a major matter, and not a single person reported it to her.


    She immediately opened herputer for a check, and soon she found the target, the EverBest


    Group, a real estatepany, and also the Shepard family’spany.


    She was about to continue checking, but the information was immediately updated.


    Now the EverBest Group was no longer secretly acquiring but had publicly announced that they wanted


    to acquire the Neilian Group within a week. If any shareholders held shares, they could quote them,


    and they would buy these shares at a high price.


    And they had already acquired 5% of thepany’s shares.


    Maja’s eyes instantly sharpened; this matter had been going on for an afternoon, and not a single


    person on the board of directors told her, which undoubtedly showed their purpose.


    They all wanted to sell their shares privately at a high price and then leave.


    She was betrayed by these board members. Meanwhile, she received a message from Carlene.


    [If you don’t apologize to me before nine o’clock tomorrow night, I will be fully responsible for this


    acquisition.]


    [Your husband is still on my side.]


    Carlene sent these two messages, looking very smug..
