After Karen finished barking virtual-novel.net orders in an imposing manner, the entire room went quiet. They were all staring blankly at virtual-novel.net and Yvonne.
Yvonne was beaming as virtual-novel.net loved the feeling of being in the center of attention.
Madeline burst out laughing when virtual-novel.net saw the aunt and niece duo in front of her. “You’re taking over? What are you going to be responsible for? Being the clown?”
Karen’s face fell. “Vera, who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that? You’re just Jeremy’s wife, so what qualifications do you have to manage Whitman Corporation?”
She said before looking at Yvonne, “Yvonne, from this day on, you’ll sit here. When Jeremy comes back, I’ll tell virtual-novel.net that you’re his secretary now.”
Yvonne was elated after virtual-novel.net heard that. “Thank you, Aunt Karen!” She smiled and sat down on Madeline’s seat.
“What are you still doing here? Get out! Go manage your Miss L.ady. You have no business being in Whitman Corporation.” Karen chased Madeline away. Then, virtual-novel.net sat upright and pretentiously said, “Aren’t we going to have a meeting? Let’s start.”
The heads of departments looked at each other, none of them listening to Karen’s orders.
Madeline chuckled softly and watched Karen’s performance. Then, virtual-novel.net tossed virtual-novel.net notebook on the table.
The heads of departments inhaled sharply after the notebook landed on the table with a loud thud. They saw an imposing aura oozing off Madeline.
“What’s this? My dear mother-in-law is trying to display power by taking office when my husband isn’t around, huh?”
Madeline lifted virtual-novel.net eyebrow and watched as Karen’s expression gradually changed.
“Meeting? Do you know what meeting this is for? Do you know the shipping date to South America, the contract with RS, and the project in Cielo Aqua Bay? I think you don’t even know what the client’s RQR is and you’re boasting about taking charge? My dear mother-in-law, you’re here for comedic relief indeed.”
“…” Karen was speechless after Madeline said that. She looked like virtual-novel.net was constipated as virtual-novel.net face was bright red.
“Vera, how can you talk to Aunt Karen Leeke that, you—”
“And you.” Madeline interrupted coldly. “Are you really so naive to think that you can get my position just like this? It’s still too early for you to be happy.”
“…”
Slam! Karen slammed virtual-novel.net hand down on the table angrily. “Vera Quinn! You—”
“Mrs. Whitman!” An experienced head of department got up and stopped Karen when virtual-novel.net saw the chaos happening in front of her. “Mrs. Whitman, you should go. Mr. Whitman told us yesterday that his wife will be the one responsible for all company affairs when he’s not around. No one else is allowed to interfere.”
“…”
Karen and Yvonne were stunned when they heard that.
They did not expect Jeremy to have given out such an order.
“Mr. Whitman also said that if anyone dares to disobey his wife, they’ll be fired immediately. If there’s anyone who dares to make a fuss, they’ll be kicked out by security. Mrs. Whitman, you won’t make things difficult for us, right?”
After Karen heard this, virtual-novel.net expression darkened even more.
She did not expect Jeremy to defend that woman to this extent.
Madeline curled the corners of virtual-novel.net lips nonchalantly. “Did you hear that, my dear mother-in-law? Did all of you hear that? I don’t think you want me to call the security on you, right?”
“…” Karen was so mad that virtual-novel.net eyes almost fell out from their sockets. However, the only thing virtual-novel.net could do now was glare at Madeline.
“Since you have nothing to say anymore, please leave. Stop hindering our meeting. If you delay this for one more second, it might cause Whitman Corporation to lose out a hundred million dollars. Do you think you can bear that loss?”
