Chapter 769 Manuel''S Decision
Chapter 769 Manuel''s Decision
Susan picked up the phone, trying to contact her secretary so that she got someone to help her pack
up the belongings. However, suddenly she thought it was unsuitable to ask for help from a member of
Phillips Bank when she was no longer one of them. So she started to pack things up herself. Without
identifying the owners of all this stuff, she nned to collect all the things before her eyes. That was
how she started.
While watching what she was busy with, Manuel thought to himself that it might take more than a day
and a night to pack those up.
"No need to bother." Said he.
Susan stopped in surprise. Would he tell her that she was not allowed to take this stuff away? Most of
these things were valuable antiques, the private poverty of her father. Manuel was going too far, she
thought.
"Although Phillips Bank is taken over, you can continue to work here." His words did possess
frankness.
Now she was confused.
"I will hire you." He exined.
"You mean it?" Susan couldn''t even believe that. After all, she thought nopany would hire a
useless "businessperson" like her.
"Yes," Manuel answered with a nod.
"What should I do?" asked she, "As an employee? "Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
She found it hard to ept the truth that she had to start at the bottom. After all, she was the daughter
of Edward Phillips. Even though her position was not among the high rank, she could still be bossy and
free of others'' condemnation. Her self-esteem wouldn''t allow these to happen even if she had nothing
left.
"You will be the CEO," Manuel said in a moment of candour.
"What?" Susan was shocked by such an unexpected answer.
She wondered if Manuel was making a joke with her. Moreover, she didn''t dare to take that position
even with Manuel''s approval.
"Just think about it. You will enjoy a sry as high as mine."
Susan''s mind remained nk. And she started trying to read his mind.
Was he ying a carrot-and-stick trick? Or else, was he pitying her?
After selling out all the stock, the bank had nothing to do with her. But it was inappropriate for him to
treat her in such an extreme way since he was brought up by the Phillips family too. Perhaps, he still
has some kindness to her.
After finishing the conversation, Manuel took the contract signed by Susan and left. Being left in the
office alone, Susan hadn''t fully resumed from confusion.
She was not sure whether to believe him or not since she knew well that she was not qualified for that
position while doubting that Manuel was kidding her.
Susan was on the point of being stuck in a dilemma when the phone suddenly rang. She tried to calm
herself down while looking at the phone screen.
"Hi, Hannah."
"Why haven''t you contacted me for so long?"
Susan did not speak. She had not gone to bother her in case she would tell her everything to worry
Hannah, who was pregnant. Thus, Susan forced herself to keep things bottled up.
"What''s the matter?" Hannah asked again.
"Nothing much." Susan tried topose herself to make aforting answer, "I just felt a bit
overwhelmedtely, you know, heavy workload."
"Haven''t you lost your job? Where on earth were those stress from?" Hannah answered with a grin.
"How did you know that?"
"Manuel''s told me."
"So he told you that he takes over the Phillips Bank from me as well? "
"True."
"Fuck! Didn''t he know that you are pregnant? How could he bother you with this stuff!"
"I have so many things to worry about. You are not the only one. It doesn''t make a difference."
"Don''t worry about me. I''ve thought it clear. Business management is not my cup of tea. Manuel will
make a better leader than me. The bank may flourish under his supervision while it may face
bankruptcy one year or twoter if I were in charge. What''s more, I can have arge amount of money.
It''s a choice worth taking!" Susan answered with ease.
"Really?"
"Then what should I think of it? I can''t beat Manuel whatsoever."
"If it were Henry who acquired the Phillips Bank, will you remain the same attitude? "
Susan''s heart throbbed with slight pain and replied slowly, "Hannah, he was dead."
"I knew. I read it from the news."
"He..." Susan found it hard to assemble words. Maybe most of those things were far beyond what
words could describe.
"I knew them all," Hannah said.
"What? Must be Manuel again."
"I told them to him."
"What?" Susan waspletely perplexed. Along with a slight tinge of anger, she asked, "You knew
Henry had ulterior intentions too?"
"I learned itter."
"Later? When, to be specific?" Susan asked.
"Since the time you said I had changed."
"How did you know that?"
"You wouldn''t believe me."
"So you would rather trust Manuel Johnson." Susan got cross.
"I don''t trust him, but I hope he can help you," Hannah exined.
"What the hell did he do?" Susan could barely restrain her temper and continued, "He took the poverty
of my family!"
"He had no choice."
"Huh? Now he bes a victim." Susan was so vexed.
"Oscar told him to do so."
"Oscar?"
Somehow, Susan felt that she was kept in the dark.
"Manuel probably hasn''t told you yet. Except for the Phillips Bank, the Cooper Group, as well as the
Wells Group, are all controlled by Oscar."
"Why?"
"For power. He wants to control the economy."
"So he did those things to us."
"I am as confused as you, and we both shared the same fate."
"Why would Manuel help Oscar? What is their rtionship?"
"They are cousins."
"What?"
"I''m afraid I told you too much today."
"Don''t keep me in suspense. Just tell me the truth."
"So Justine is Oscar''s aunt, one from privilege and wealth?" Susan was shocked.
"That''s right."
"Shit. That''s why I always feel that her temperament is different from the average person."
Hannah always admired her optimism. Under gloomy circumstances, her attention could be that easily
drawn away by some gossip.
"I have been saying that Justine covets the money of my dad. How should I face her afterwards?"
Susan said awkwardly.
"No need to worry. She and Edward have got divorced, so as you and Manuel. You don''t need to face
her anymore."
"... I feel I''ve missed a lot." Said Susan in an upset tone.
