Chapter 232


    "Maybe he should change its name," Ronan suggested.


    "What for?" Thomas was taken aback, not understanding why Ronan was even meddling with the


    naming business.

    "I. Don''t. Like. It," Ronan articted, each word punctuated for emphasis.


    Thomas chuckled awkwardly, thinking to himself, “It’s not your firm, man. So bossy and intimidating.”


    "Well, Jamie might be my son, but he doesn''t always listen to me." Thomas pointed out.


    "Try to get him to change it," Ronan said before he left.


    When Cordelia was four months pregnant, she started working at First Enterprises. She was carrying


    twins and was visibly pregnant.


    In the end, Jamie did not change his name, even though Thomas had pped him, he didn''t change it.


    He was very fond of the name First Enterprises.


    As one of the partners, Cordelia had her own spacious office. It was much biggerpared to her


    office when she was at Lumos Enterprises’ Audit Department. After all, back then, she was only an


    assistant.


    She couldn''t stand the boring days at home, and given her strong ambition, she startedworking for


    business as soon as she started working.


    At lunchtime, Brenda brought her a business deal, the audit of Elite Designers.


    PrimeNumbers ounting and First Enterprises were twopanies under the same legal entity. As


    the year-end approached, PrimeNumbers ounting had so many cases that they couldn''t handle


    them all. Elite Designers was a big client, so Brenda handed the business to First Enterprises. Jamie


    would give her a portion of themission. This kind of work, where she didn’t do much but still got a


    Cordeliaing to work at First Enterprises was a joy for Brenda.


    "I always wanted to be your colleague and wanted you to work at PrimeNumbers ounting. See how


    it turned out? You ended up working here, right? And you ended up with Jamie, didn''t you?" Brenda


    said, winking at Cordelia.


    Cordelia wanted to argue but felt it was pointless, so she didn''t say much. However, she was very


    interested in the Elite Designers project. It was a big project that would keep her busy for a while.


    Brenda said the CFO of Elite Designers was her old ssmate, and she had already discussed it with


    him. Cordelia could contact him directly.


    One day, Cordelia called the CFO. "Mr. Everett, hello, I''m Brenda''s colleague, Cordelia. She introduced


    me to yourpany''s project. When would be a good time for me to pick up the documents?" Cordelia


    was now a partner, not only providing technical support but also responsible forworking. The money


    was more, but so was the responsibility.


    "Well..." the man on the other end said, "Ms. Haselwood, if you had called yesterday, I would have


    personally delivered the materials to you. But today, our boss has given the project to the president of


    Lumos Enterprises. I can''t go against him.”


    "Oh?" Cordelia furrowed her brow.


    "I promised Brenda, and I should not go back on my word, but what can I do when the boss steps in?


    I''m sorry, Ms. Haselwood, there''s nothing I can do. I''ll see if there''s another opportunity next time."


    After the call, Cordelia pondered for a long time. This was the first case for First Enterprises. If they


    gave it up to Lumos Enterprises, all potential clients would follow suit and choose not to cooperate with


    First Enterprises. In the long run, First Enterprises would definitely go bankrupt.


    Cordelia was no longer on a fixed sry but on amission basis.


    Moreover, when did Ronan start snatching deals himself? If he waspeting, was there any room for


    Cordelia to survive? Was he trying to drive the Haselwood family to ruin?


    Jamie passed by Cordelia''s office and saw her brooding. He came in to ask her what the matter was.


    Cordelia recounted everything.


    "This?" Jamie didn''t seem to mind. "There are so manypanies in Millstone. It’s not like there''s only


    one. From now on, I''ll take care of the business, and you focus on the execution of the projects, okay?"


    "Okay," Cordelia agreed, although she still felt uneasy. As long as Ronan made a move, she wouldn''t


    be able to get away unscathed.


    Sure enough, things did not go as well as Jamie had predicted. In the following days, every time Jamie


    contacted a business, everything seemed to be going smoothly at first, but in the end, the deal would


    inevitably fall into Ronan''s hands. Lumos Enterprises was arge and well-knownpany with a


    reputable Audit Department in Millstone, naturally attracting more clients.


    By the end of the year, First Enterprises had not secured a single deal. Cordelia didn’t earn a penny in


    probably targeting her.


    Now that Cordelia was pushed to the edge, even if Ronan wasn''ting at her, she wanted to go after


    him. He killed her mother, and what right did he have to deny Cordelia a way to survive?
