Chapter 180


    Ines didn''t go home, but instead headed to the Meyer Group to look for Ethan. She marched


    straight into the CEO''s office only to find Ss there, who seemed to have just arrived too.


    Ines'' face changed, and she frowned at Ss, "What are you doing here?"


    Ss chuckled, "Ms. Ines, I came to discuss some matters with Ethan. The chairman''s treatment is


    divided into three stages. The first stage is almost over, and the chairman''s condition has visibly


    improved. We''re about to start the second stage. If it continues to be effective, he can return to the


    country in about two weeks and then we''ll proceed with the third stage after a month."


    Ines retorted, "You don''t need to exin all this in detail. I don''t understand it anyway. Make the


    decisions yourselves. Ethan is busy, don''t bother him with this stuff."


    Ss fell silent for a moment, then said, "Ms. Ines, my visit to Ethan was not solely for this matter.


    Since you''re here, I might as well tell you both. The other board members aren''t idiots. They''ve


    noticed the chairman''s prolonged absence, and some have started sniffing around and causing


    trouble. This is a critical stage in Mr. Galeana''s treatment, and I haven''t dared to tell him in fear that


    he might choose to return home, missing the optimal treatment period."


    Ines frowned, "Since he handed hispany over to you, you can do as you wish."


    "Ms. Ines, although I am the chairman''s personal secretary, I don''t have real power in thepany.


    My influence is waning due to the chairman''s absence. Those board members won''t listen to my


    decisions on important matters."


    Ines knew that Ss was beating around the bush, hoping to coax her back to the Galeana Group.


    She cut to the chase, "Just spit it out. What should I do?"


    "Ms. Ines, I am at my wits'' end. You''re the only one who can calm them down." Ss directly stated


    his intentions, cautiously watching Ines'' reaction.


    Ines sneered, "You''re overthinking it. My work these past years has nothing to do with corporate


    management, no board member would trust me." She was always realistic. Even if she had


    potential in this field, she would need time to grow. She couldn''t just step in and take over. "You''re


    thergest shareholder besides the chairman, and his biological daughter. The board members trust


    you because they watched you grow up."


    Ines shot a mocking look at Ss, "You forgot to mention the most important thing, I''m Ethan''s wife.


    They wouldn''t dare give me a hard time because of that."


    Ss nodded awkwardly, "Indeed, as Ms. Ines said, your current status is a significant factor for my


    considerations."


    Upon hearing his words, Ines'' face turned grim. She shoved Ss out of the office, angrily saying,


    "Get out! Don''te to the Meyer Group again. I won''t agree to this."


    "Ms. Ines, please consider what I''ve said. Don''t rush your decision. Everything I did was for the


    chairman''s sake." Ss urged.


    Ines turned to Lucas andmanded, "Lucas, see him out."


    Lucas nodded, then said to Ss, "Please, Ss."


    Ss didn''t move. Lucas repeated, "Ss, don''t make this hard for me."


    Ss sighed, ultimately leaving reluctantly.


    Ines mmed the door shut. Lucas, who had been about to step in to report something, was


    startled by the loud noise and withdrew his foot.


    Ethan watched the furious Ines and couldn''t help butugh. She really did have the air of a leader,


    impressive.


    Ines red at Ethan, "You''re being fooled, and you''reughing?"


    "Mrs. Meyer, you do have a leader''s demeanor. No wonder they want you as chairman." Ethan


    voiced his thoughts honestly.


    Ines was still fuming. She sat on the couch across from Ethan, "Don''t make fun of me. I''m just


    pissed."


    "I think the one who should be angry is Hunter. He wanted you to inherit hispany, but you don''t


    want it." Ethan continued to handle his work while chatting with Ines.


    Ines scoffed, "He''s always put his career above everything else. Even his illness is due to his


    excessive concern for his business."


    Ethan put down his pen and looked at Ines seriously, "Izzy, don''t be upset yet. Things haven''t


    escted to a severe point. You still have time to think, don''t rush your decision."


    "I can''t think of any perfect solution. If the Galeana Group really gets into trouble, I will definitely


    take care of its affairs." Ines knew she didn''t have any better options. Acting as the chairman was


    something she would have to do sooner orter. It was precisely because Ss understood this that


    he hade to Ethan.


    Ethan chuckled, "Since you have everything figured out, there''s no need to fret."


    Ines got up and wrapped her arms around Ethan''s neck from behind, saying sullenly, "This is all for


    your sake. You''re already tired from managing the Meyer Group. If I go to the Galeana Group, you''ll


    definitely have to help me with my current capability. So you''ll still be the one bearing the


    responsibility for the Galeana Group. I can only apany you."


    Ethan pulled Ines into hisp, "It''s okay, I can handle it. It''s no big deal for me, just a bit more work


    each day."


    Ines stayed silent. The situation wasn''t as simple as Ethan made it out to be. Being apany''s


    decision-maker was never easy for anyone.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
