Chapter 1189
Hearing that the Reeves family had come knocking, Elodie frowned and said, "What's there to panic about? Let them come. I'm busy, just tell them I'm not available."
Just as Elodie finished speaking, a woman's voice rang out from the doorway, "Ms. Reeves, we've come all the way from Harbor City, and now you're saying you won't see us? That's quite dismissive."
The woman's voice carried a hint of provocation and arrogance. Elodie calmly looked at the woman in front of her, who was over thirty and dripping in jewelry, and said, "I thought it was someone important. Turns out it's just Aunt Shannon. Aunt Shannon isn't exactly part of the Reeves family, is she? What brings you here at this time?"Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"It's not her who has business with Ms. Reeves; it's us who need to talk to Ms. Reeves!"
The speaker was one of the major shareholders of the Reeves family, followed by other core members of the clan.
Now, they all stood in front of Elodie, glaring at her with anger.
"Ms. Reeves, you said you wanted to expand in Devonport, using so much of the Reeves family's resources. But now, not only have you failed to achieve your goals, but you've also lost the support of the Burke family! This is quite unacceptable to us!" "That's right! We've come all this way to demand an explanation!"
The Reeves family members were known for their arrogance.
They had never agreed with Elodie becoming the head of the Reeves family. In their eyes, Elodie was just a country girl who came from nowhere.
Had it not been for some of Elodie's decisions that made money for Reeves International, they would never have allowed her to hold her current position.
However, now that Elodie could no longer provide benefits for them and had even caused losses, they naturally wanted her to step down.
"Lost the support of the Burke family? What are you talking about?"
Elodie had been staying at home these past few days and was unaware of the outside situation.
Especially today, with Griffin injured, she had no mind to care about anything else.
"Don't you know? Yesterday, Burke International announced that they've terminated all cooperation with the Reeves family! They even sold Reeves Entertainment at a low price, clearly wanting to cut ties with us. Ms. Reeves, you are the CEO of Reeves International, how do you not know about this? If it weren't for this, why would we come all the way from Harbor City?"
"What joke is this? Odie hasn't taken office yet; how can he have the authority to terminate the cooperation between Burke International and the Reeves family?"
"How would we know what exactly happened? The Burke family has already done it! Isn't it because you were incompetent?"
Aunt Shannon looked at Elodie
impatiently and said, "If you ask me,
you should just save us the embarrassment. Your poor decisions have caused the Reeves family to lose so much money. You need to find a way to fill this hole! We don't care whether you have the money or not; if you can't repay this debt, then you should expect a court summons!"
"We and Ms. Shannon are on the same page, Ms. Reeves. Considering all you've done for the Reeves family in the past, we don't want to be too harsh. As long as you fill this hole we won't pursue this matter further. You can still be the CEO of Reeves International. But if you can't, then sorry, we'll have to join forces to remove you from your CEO position. And the money you owe the company, we will also find a way to make you pay it back!"
