Chapter 96 Boast Without Shame
Anaya changed her clothes and came out. Kelton asked her, “Do you still want to go back to the private
room?”
“I want to go home.” Anaya shook her head.
Kelton felt a little distressed to see Anaya was obviously tired. “Don’t worry, I will help you get back at
Addisyn.”
After Kelton finished his words, he looked at Hearst and said, “Mr. Helms, could you send Anaya
back?”
“Of course,” Hearst said indifferently.
Kelton thought Hearst was much better than that bastard Joshua. “Thank you for helping Anaya today.
You cane to me if you need anything.”
“Alright.”
There was still a group of people waiting for Kelton in the private room below. So he did not stay long
and quickly left.
Hearst drove Anaya home. After getting out of the car, Anaya did not leave immediately.
“Mr. Helms, Joshua helped me once before, and I gave him hundreds of thousands of dors in return.”
Anaya stood by the car and looked inside. “I can pay you back in this way too if you want.”
Today, Joshua threatened Anaya with the favor he had done for her, which made her very
ufortable.
Anaya hated owing a favor.
Therefore, Anaya didn’t want to be at a disadvantage because
of such a thing again..
“You don’t have to return it,” Hearst said in a light tone.
Hearst did not want Anaya to return the favor.
Because Hearst thought Anaya could always keep him in her
mind only in that case.
Hearst knew that if Anaya returned the favor, he would lose
contact with her.
Anaya frowned. “You should have heard the conversation
between Joshua and me. What if you force me as Joshua did just
now…”
“I am different from Joshua,” Hearst interrupted Anaya. “I
won’t do anything that you don’t like.”
Hearst looked at Anaya with his eyes full of affection and said straightforwardly and seriously, “Of
course, other than chasing
you.”
Anaya felt her face blushing.
Anaya thought, this man looks cold and restrained. How could
he say such shameful words so directly?

“You’d better hurry back,” Anaya changed the topic and said. “Be careful on your way.”
The next morning, when Anaya arrived at thepany, she called Tim into the office. “Are the funds for
thend auction
ready?”
The auction of East Boston would be held tomorrow afternoon, and Anaya needed to confirm
everything again.
“The finance department has got the fund ready.” Tim hesitated for a moment. “Ms. Dutt, Mark asked
me to inform you that there is a shareholder meeting at 9 a.m. for you to attend on time.”
“Who called this meeting?” Anaya frowned.
“Several shareholders did that,” Tim carefully said. “It seems that the news that you want to bid for East
Boston has spread. This meeting is probably held to persuade you to give up this project…
“Do
you need me to cancel the meeting?”
“No need.”
Anaya knew if she didn’t attend the meeting, the group of people would probably directlye to her
office, so it was better to gather everyone together and make a one–time stand.
Anaya was ready for a verbal battle and took Tim to the meeting room on time.
After the meeting officially began, someone soon started to make things difficult for Anaya.
“Ms. Dutt, I heard that you are going to participate in the
auction for East Boston and you n to build buildings there. Is that true? Who will rent shops in such a
remote ce? I don’t agree. How can you just jump into such a big project?”
The person who spoke was Jason Leach, an old member of
Riven Group. He had been in this position since Riven Group
was founded.
The man sitting next to Jason was a man of Mark’s. During the
time when Frank was detained, it was this man who tried to
help Frank out, but luckily Anaya’s men could always find that
in time to stop him.
Seeing that there was no hope of turning over the case, Frank asked this man to keep a close eye on
Anaya’s work.
Frank believed that since Anaya was newly appointed and had no experience, it was easy to make
mistakes in her work. Frank thought as long as he could catch Anaya napping, Anaya would
be pulled down from the position of the executive president,
and Mark would rece her for the time being.
Frank had been keeping an eye on Anaya’s work all this time. He had thought that it would take some
time before he could catch hold of her weakness, but he had not expected that Anaya
would make a slip–up in her work so quickly.
East Boston was located in a remote area, and other than
building an industrial park there, there was no other value.
However, the subsidiarypany under Riven Group already
had aplete industry chain, and there was no need to
expand the factory.
Even if the industrial park could be sessfully sold after
being built, the profit was negligible.
Frank thought it was a waste of money and the circting
funds to bid for a piece ofnd that had no value at all.
“Yes, that’s true.” Anaya sat upright, humble and polite, but her attitude was very tough. “I have to do
this project. If it
fails, I will personally bear all the responsibility.”
“Bear all the responsibility? Can you? All your money belongs
to Riven Group, and if you use the money of Riven Group,
you’re spending our money!” Jason got furious.
The others also echoed in session, all of them standing
opposite Anaya.
“That’s right. We are all shareholders of Riven Group. If you lose money on this project, everyone will
have to take responsibility together. We have no reason to pay for your
willfulness!”
“There are so many potential projects waiting for us to do. Why do you insist on going into real estate?
Are you too full of yourself? I am afraid you will fail in the end and implicate ust
all.”
“You once lent 800 million dors to the Maltz family and put
Riven Group in great trouble. How dare you still do such a stupid thing? Mr. Dutt is still in the hospital. If
he knows about
this, he will be furious!”
“Be quiet,” Anaya said in a cold voice. “In a week’s time,
documents will be issued that the authority will focus on the
development of East Boston. If it is well developed, it is very
likely to be the new CBD of Boston. At that time, you are
gonna make a fortune.”
Jason snorted, “Where did you get the news from? There is no
news from the outside world at all, and how could you know that? I am afraid that you have been
deceived!”
“If this project fails,” Anaya said in a low but firm voice, “I will sell all the assets under my and
grandfather’s name to make up
for the loss of thepany this time.
“If the project seeds, then we will share the profits together. However, if it fails, I will fill in the
loophole of the funds myself, and you won’t lose anything.
“If that’s the case, you still want to stop me?”
The people on Mark’s side quieted down.
However, Anaya’s men got anxious. “Ms. Dutt, it’s a big deal to sell all the assets. Why don’t you
discuss it with Mr. Dutt?”
Anaya affirmed, “It’s fine. This project will work.”
“Boast without shame!” Jason sneered.
Anaya ignored Jason’s ridicule and stood up. “Let’s bring the
meeting to a close. I will not let go of the project about East Boston. There is no need to persuade me
anymore.”
After Anaya finished speaking, she left inrge strides.
When Anaya walked past Jason, he said in a low voice, “What a
silly girl! If you really take this piece ofnd, you’ll regret it.”
Jason was obviously saying this for Anaya to hear.
Anaya nced at Jason, but she did not say anything. Instead,
she directly walked out of the conference room.
Anaya thought, facts speak louder than words. As long as I can withstand the pressure of these old
bastards and take the
project, we will just wait and see.
