Chapter 267
“Congrattions.” Hanson smiled, pressing his warm hand on Angeline''s shoulder. “From today
onward. Angeline will be in charge of the management of Forrester Group. I hope everyone will
cooperate with her. If any help is required, Yiurk Group will do its best to assist.”
“Understood!” the employees eximed in unison. No one dared to look down on Angeline any longer.
At that moment, Angeline recalled what had happened thest time in the cafe. I''ve made preparations
for the matter Jonathan reminded me of. Since Hanson''s here today. I might as well mention it.
She rposed herself and wore an amiable smile. “Thank you for your support, everyone. Now that
I''ve returned to Forrester Group, the rules shall be strictly enforced. I''m nning to hold a fashion show
next Wednesday, and I expect everyone to attend when the time conies.”
“Sure!” Excitement was visible on the employees'' countenances.
Forrester Group was originally a small, unremarkablepany. It had been a long time since the
company was that lively.
Angeline blinked at Hanson in a friendly manner. “You''ll support my decision, right, Mr. Yiurk?”
“Why didn''t you discuss this significant matter with me beforehand?” Hanson looked at her with
dissatisfaction.
She was unsurprised to see his grave expression. He''s reacting exactly the way I expected him to. If
something involves benefits, regardless of who he''s dealing with, he''ll immediately turn into a different
individual. Honestly, I''m only able to face him calmly right now because I saw thising. “We''re
currently partners, so I still have the right to decide on many matters. The fashion show will only benefit
Forrester Group, and I doubt you would mind spending a small number of funds to make it happen.”
At his silence, she continued, “Or are you saying you aren''t willing to use your connections to help
Forrester Group?”
Angeline grinned at him. She lifted her hand and naturally swept away the lint on Hanson''s tie.

Then, raising her head, she saw the scowl on his face and thought it was amusing. What a hypocrite!
“I''m fine with it,” Hanson replied in a deep voice. “Whatever you need, Yiurk Group will provide. I
merely hope the results won''t be too disappointing.”
The most important tiling about Angeline''s statement earlier was that she didn''t give him a way out.
That was why he was ticked off.
“Rx. I''ll do my very best with the fashion show so as to not disappoint you. Mr. Yiurk.” Angeline
beamed.
She didn''t care if he was happy about it or not. It was enough for her as long as she could achieve her
goal.
After the meeting was officially over, the employees returned to their stations happily, still relishing
Angeline''s appearance.
No one dared to look down on her anymore because she had had the guts to argue with Hanson in
public.
Bang!
When Carl returned to his office and saw Angeline''s gift, he mmed his documents on the table and
growled, “That evil, vicious woman!”
“That''s enough. Why are you shouting? Aren''t you afraid the employees will hear you?” It was then a
man wearing a pair of ck-framed sses and with a long beard entered the room.
“You have some guts to say that to me, Mr. Valentine! You people from the design department didn''t
utter a single word back in the conference room and allowed that woman to say whatever the heck she
pleases to embarrass me!”
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
He had thought he could live his life in peace as the finance director and that Angeline''s arrival would
pose no threat to him.
However, because of his rash actions today, she had got dirt on him.
Alexis Valentine calmly listened to Carl''s furious questioning.
He reached out to open a folder and when he saw the content, the look in his eyes turned frigid. “This
woman''s quite capable.” I can''t believe she even managed to get her hands on important information
like this. It''s undeniable that she has himpletely cornered.
“Stop kicking me when I''m down!” Carl pulled his hair with a look of despair. “Don''t forget, both of us did
it. If she decides to look deeper into the matter, you and I are going down together.”
A cold glint appeared in Alexis'' eyes, but he quickly put it away. With a chuckle, he said, “Look at your
bad temper. Do you think getting yourself worked up can solve the problem? The design department
kept quiet in the conference room because we couldn''t be bothered to argue with a half-witted leader
like Angeline. Didn''t Ie here to see you right after the meeting ended?”
Carl snorted. “Do you have a solution, then?”
Alexis walked toward the door, shut it. and returned to the desk. He whispered, “Rather than allowing
someone to get a hold of your dirt and spending the rest of your days here with worry, why not end
tilings instead?”
Carl was shocked, but when he saw the determined expression on Alexis'' face, he wavered. “What are
you nning to do?”
“If you do exactly as I say, I promise you''ll lead a blissful life in the future. However, if you follow
Angeline. you may get booted out of thepany one day.”
Carl hesitated but ultimately agreed, “Fine! It''s a deal!” I''m just an insignificant finance director, and I
doubt Angeline will throw away the dirt she has on me. Since I can''t win against someone as powerful
as her, I might as well find myself a backer and take her out!
Over the next few days, Angeline took care of Sebastian while preparing for the fashion show.
To reorganize thepany effectively, she implemented a series of rules and regtions.
On her first day. she enforced a clocked-in system. Everyone, regardless if they were an employee or
the leader of the organization, had to arrive at thepany before ten in the morning. One hundred
would be deducted from an individual''s sry for every minute they werete.
The employees were used to beingzy, so after a few days, they startedining about the
system.
Some even started calling Angeline “The Ice Queen" behind her back.
Angeline felt rather resigned when she heard that. I didn''t expect to be the employees'' public
enemy only after taking over thepany for a few days. However, I won''t relent. This is necessary.
Otherwise, they''ll only continue to act however they please, and Forrester Group will never achieve
greatness.
Soon, the day of the fashion show arrived.
While Hanson was still upset about her decision, he did promise her he would back her up. He had no
choice but to get everything done properly.
