Chapter 1819 Venturing Into Domestic Market
Looking at the current situation, Ashton seemed to have won a lot of support in the company through
Nathaniel’s blackmailing, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
A faint smile played on Nathaniel’s lips as he threw a question back at the two condescending old men.
“What are you trying to say?”
Although he maintained a calm demeanor without making a fuss, the chilling aura he was exuding
seeped silently into the bones of every person in the room.
As soon as he spoke, the few people who had been aggressively demanding him to hand over power
immediately stopped talking.
No one dared to be the first to speak up.
Right then, a sharp voice of a woman rang out. “Mr. Warner and Mr. Chadwick were merely speaking
the truth. You can go ahead and indulge yourself in romantic bliss, but don’t delay the group’s
progress.”
It was then that I noticed the only other woman at the table. She was the perfect embodiment of an ice
queen, with attractive features and a far more imposing aura than Freja. Her dark-red lips gave her the
impression of a femme fatale.
She shot me a cold look when she caught me staring at her, but then she shifted her gaze away
immediately afterward.
Nathaniel seemed fazed by her words, judging by his lips curling into a mocking smile. “Okay. I accept
all your opinions. I’ll spend more time on the group’s affairs in the future.”
Everyone fell silent, looking dubious but making no move to reply.
Seeing the lack of response, Nathaniel leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms in apparent
nonchalance as he said, “Let’s discuss your thoughts on venturing into the Chanaean market.”
Hearing this, Desmond Henley, who had remained silent while sitting next to Nathaniel, cleared his
throat. “Let me say a few words. I think that the risks are too high alongside great uncertainty. The
Chanaean police are far stricter than those in any other country. We’ll lose everything should things go
wrong, so it’s not advisable to take risks.”
Vincent also voiced his agreement, “We joined the group back then on the premise that we won’t
venture into the domestic market. We should be content ourselves with earning money from foreigners
and having peaceful lives. Don’t leave us nowhere to turn to in the future.”
The elderly Theodore was naturally on their side as he nodded vigorously to their words. “That’s true.
Look at those who are doing businesses in the gray areas in the legislation. Hardly any of them can
afford to conduct affairs openly like us. Men cannot be too greedy.”
Nathaniel nodded his head before turning to look at the indifferent woman. “Do you agree with them?”
Without missing a beat, she replied nonchalantly, “I abstain my vote.”
“All right, then. I hereby announce that Ramona Sutton will take charge of the domestic market. My
assistant will liaise with you later. Any questions?” Nathaniel ignored Ashton as he directly made the
decision.
After he finished speaking, the faces of the elderly men darkened as they fidgeted uneasily in their
seats.
“Whatever.” Ramona got up and left right after she said that.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
After that, Ashton followed suit.
There was only a young man with no right to speak left in the room, exchanging glances with the senior
members. Despite being furious at Nathaniel’s decision, they did not dare speak their mind.
However, the young man was more perceptive than the others and knew who was in charge, so he
immediately plastered on a flattering smile. “Mr. Hall, Chanaea is such a big market, and it’s way too
stressful for Ramona to manage on her own. Perhaps I can share the burden?”
Nathaniel gave the man a once-over and nodded soon after. “Okay.”
“Wonderful! I’ll be sure to do a splendid job!” The man broke into a huge smile, not forgetting to hand
me a name card as he added, “Mrs. Hall, you’re the only woman that Mr. Hall has ever brought to a
meeting with the higher-ups. I’m Teddy Barker. Don’t hesitate to look for me should you need my help
in the future.”
Nathaniel shot him a death stare. “Do you have a death wish?”
“Mr. Hall is so protective…” Teddy beamed as he hurriedly put away the name card. He then placed his
hands together in an apologetic gesture. “My apologies to you both for the slip-up. Please be
magnanimous and don’t harbor any grudge against me.”
