Her Precious Baby

Chapter 148

“Talk.” Hanson sat up straight and stared at Angeline with his grim eyes.

Angeline didn’t care there were outsiders present and spoke directly. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“First of all, since I’m taking over this matter, I’ll be coming to the company frequently in the future. I hope you will inform your employees accordingly, Mr. Yiurk. I need them to cooperate with me,” she said.

“Sure. No problem,” Hanson agreed to it right away as he wasn’t surprised by her request.

“Secondly, the Yiurk family and the Sorelle family found Forrester Group when both families were at their peak. Since no other companies have invested in it, I think it’s rather easy to split the shares.”

Hanson frowned and asked, “How much do you want?”

Angeline flashed a smile in response. At that moment, everyone was on edge, but she was as cool as a cucumber. While sitting casually in her seat, she answered, “When my mother was still alive, I think she held at least sixty percent shares of the company.”

Hanson’s expression turned solemn when he heard that. In a deep voice, he replied, “That’s hardly doable.”

With a mocking smile on her face, Angeline held her chin with one hand while tapping the desk occasionally with the other. “Mr. Yiurk, please give me a definitive answer. Forrester Group has been making a loss all this while. Not only am I helping you save the company, but I’m also helping you make more money. At the end of the day, you won’t lose out on anything.”

Hanson kept mum and stared at Angeline in response. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t tell what Angeline was hiding behind that smile of hers. She has truly changed. Back then, during the

school anniversary event, she would feel uneasy the moment she saw a crowd. Now, she’s handling herself perfectly. What gives her the confidence to negotiate with me in such a manner?

Angeline’s patience was wearing thin because Hanson was still holding his tongue. With a frown, she uttered in a frustrated tone, “Mr. Yiurk, I don’t mind waiting for your answer, but I’m afraid Forrester Group doesn’t have the luxury. Judging by how capable you are, I’m sure you’re able to convince your wife.”

“Okay. I promise you,” Hanson responded in a deep voice. There was a hint of reluctance in his voice when he added, “If you find the situation hard to deal with, you may leave anytime you want. I won’t hold you accountable.”

“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Yiurk.” Upon getting the response she wanted, Angeline grabbed her bag and left the broadcast studio.

She then took the elevator and went down to the second floor to visit the IT department. Nancy was following closely behind when she praised, “You’re incredible, Angeline! You came for a broadcast session, but you ended up taking over a company! Even Mr. Yiurk had trouble handling you.”

“I’m taking what’s mine,” Angeline answered softly. At that moment, a hint of hatred flashed across her eyes. Before this, I never made a move because Joseline was a part of the Sorelle family. Now that I know the truth, I’m going to take back everything the Sorelle family owns! Forrester Group is just the beginning.

Upon arriving at the IT department, they saw three youngsters sitting in front of their computers and trying to figure out what went wrong. Meanwhile, the older employees had coffee and rested.

This department’s carelessness caused the enormous loss suffered by the company. Yet, they’re acting as if they’ve done nothing wrong!

Angeline’s expression darkened, and she said sternly, “Please stop whatever you’re doing and gather here.”

Although the younger employees were confused when they heard that, they still approached her. On the other hand, the rest of the employees remained seated and looked at her mockingly.

“You’re Angeline, aren’t you? I know you like to boss people around because you’re a celebrity. However, this isn’t the entertainment industry. You don’t have a say here!” one of them complained.

Nancy was having none of it, and she fumed, “What has the entertainment industry done to you? Sir, did you find out who are the owners of the company before you applied to work here? From today onward, Angeline will be temporarily in charge of Forrester Group.”

The man froze momentarily before rolling his eyes in response. “That’s impossible! How could she?”

“Why not?” a man answered.

Moments later, Hanson and Lillian were seen walking in. Hanson had a stern expression when he asked in a serious tone, “I’ll announce it on her behalf. Are you satisfied?”

The man shuddered when he heard that. Along with the other older employees, they quickly sprung to their feet and trotted toward Hanson and Angeline.

With an ingratiating smile on his face, the man said, “Hi, Mr. Yiurk. I’m sorry, Ms. Sorelle. I was an ignorant fool.”

Hanson ignored the man and turned toward Angeline to give her a list of personnel. With a hint of concern in his eyes, he said, “The employees and IT professionals I’ve transferred from the headquarters will arrive at Forrester Group tomorrow. I’ve already informed them accordingly, so please command them as you please.”

“Thank you.” Angeline took the list and flipped through the employees’ files. Hanson seems professional. He’s very particular about how he selects these employees. This actually helps me a lot.

Hanson glanced at her and hesitated before uttering, “Angeline, about what happened the last time around—”

“What’s the progress in rectifying the error that happened during the event?” Angeline was sizing up the employees at the scene, and they were all already busy with their work.

This time around, no one dared to undermine her anymore. A young employee approached her and answered, “We’ve already rectified the error and changed the prices. However, I don’t think we’ll be able to recoup our losses.”

“Okay.” Angeline expected that to happen. Upon closing the documents in her hands, she glanced at those cunning and older employees. In an icy tone, she said, “Tomorrow, go to the finance department to receive the wages and pensions that are owed to you guys. After that, you guys will no longer have to come to work.”

Upon hearing that, the older employees were stumped, and they were overwhelmed with regret.

They didn’t expect Angeline to act so decisively, despite her tender age.

“Could someone bring me to my office?” Angeline asked. Although she wasn’t planning to go there often, she still needed to place to work.

While staring at Angeline solemnly, Lillian took the initiative and stepped forward. “This way, please, Ms. Sorelle.”

“Okay. Thank you,” Angeline answered.

She followed Lillian into a huge private office with complete office supplies.

“This is where Mrs. Sorelle used to work. After she passed away, Ms. Joseline would come once in a while. Other than that, this room hasn’t been used,” Lillian said.

“Thank you.” Angeline was checking out the equipment in the office, and conflicting emotions warred in her chest as her gaze eventually landed on the photos on the wall. Those were the photos her late mother had taken with several renowned designers.

Her late mother was a famous designer as well.

When Angeline arrived in front of the desk, she ran her fair fingers across the desk and noticed how dusty it was. When was the last time someone cleaned this place?

Angeline then found a lot of the company’s documents in one of the folders in the office. Upon flipping through them, she found one that recorded the projects Forrester Group had taken part in over the past few years. The losses Forrester Group incurred have been recorded here. Besides, I can even see where the problems lie. If I want to resurrect Forrester Group, I need to get to the root of the problem.
