Chapter 22 Quite a lot of eyes focused on Kayson as soon as he walked into Boardroom 3. However,
most people were looking at him in astonishment. A man sized up Kayson with an arrogant gaze. “Who
are you?”
“I‘m the deputy chief of The Tetrad from the project department, Kayson Yarde. Mr. Oxley is away from
work today, so I‘m attending the meeting on his behalf,” replied Kayson.
“The Tetrad?” The man sniggered in contempt. “Mr. Batley, don‘t you think saving a spot for The Tetrad is
a waste? The bottled water of our company costs money too.”
The rest of the people lowered their heads and sneered without bothering to hide their laughter upon
hearing that.
Sean furrowed his eyebrows ever so slightly but relaxed his eyebrows soon afterward. “Mr. Lawson, you
do care about cost–saving for the company at all times as the person in charge of the company‘s
finances.
“However, you‘re fussing so much for just bottled water. Could it be that the company‘s financial status is
already so dire?”
The CFO, Miles Lawson, let out a cold grunt. “I just don‘t want to waste the company‘s resources! You
don‘t have to make a big deal out of this, Mr. Batley!”
Sean chuckled but did not comment further. Instead, he said to Kayson, “Please take a seat, Mr. Yarde.”
Kayson was cool as a cucumber when he smiled at him to express his appreciation. He then took a
seat.
Kayson could not help looking over when a tall and slim figure walked into the boardroom.
Sadie walked into the boardroom and noticed Kayson at one glance. She furrowed her eyebrows at once
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbecause Kayson was the last person she wanted to see!
“Everyone‘s here. Let‘s begin the meeting today officially.”
Sadie‘s cold voice reverberated in the boardroom when she said, “All departments must operate
efficiently during this period to complete the finishing touches of the complete projects. “Monitor the
ongoing projects closely to prevent any error and be alert to safety accidents! “Also, hasten the
connection between projects that have yet to be connected previously.”

Sadie was a doer, and she was already prepared for the meeting in advance. The people in charge of
different departments did not have many objections after receiving her orders.
Kayson‘s perception of Sadie changed because she behaved completely differently when she was at
work compared to when she was at home. The meeting was approaching its end, but Miles suddenly
raised his hand.
“Ms. Wolfenden, the Petrichor Park project has yet to be closed all this time. I wonder, how are you
planning on solving this issue, Ms. Wolfenden?”
Sadie furrowed her eyebrows and looked toward the chief of Solo from the project department, Iris
Colement. “Ms. Coleman, what‘s the situation?” Petrichor Park was the first project she had been tasked
with after graduating and joining the company. Iris‘ expression changed. She said with a bitter smile, “Mr.
Gustin, the person in charge of quality control, claimed that there is an issue with the project‘s quality...”
Quite a number of people in the boardroom changed their expressions drastically before they looked
toward Sadie in unison.
“Nonsense!” Sadie‘s expression was unpleasant. “I‘ve been working on the Petrichor Park project from
the start, and I can attest to the superior quality materials used at all times!” Miles said in contempt, “Ms.
Wolfenden, this is your project, so it would be best for you to come up with a way to solve the situation.
“We won‘t receive the final payment of $3,000,000 without Mr. Gustin‘s quality inspection report.
“The Gillete Group is counting on us to make a mistake. If information of this incident were to spread
tomorrow, the landlords would be coming to make a fuss at our company. It‘s going to be difficult to
manage the situation by then, Ms. Wolfenden.”
Sadie appeared to be deep in thought. Soon afterward, she took a deep glance at Iris while the
latter lowered her head in a panic. Iris did not have the courage to look her in the eyes.
“Ms. Wolfenden, I think that Ms. Coleman is not exaggerating. With the advancement of the Internet and
content sharing, public opinion will have a dire effect on the company!”
The person speaking was the chief of the human resource department, River Snyder..
Sean frowned and said, “The Petrichor Park project is Ms. Wolfenden‘s first project, so Ms. Wolfenden
wants the project to be completed more than anyone else.
“There‘s no need for everyone to be overly concerned. Ms. Wolfenden will manage this matter properly.”
Miles sniggered with disdain in his expression. “Is that so? I shall wait and see then.”
Sadie‘s gaze turned cold. Miles‘ father was the company‘s second–biggest shareholder, and the general
manager position was supposed to be Miles‘.
However, she had overpowered Miles by working on the Petrichor Park project.
It seemed that Miles had yet to give up. Iris from Solo and River, the chief of the human resource
department, had already taken his side.
“Don‘t worry, Mr. Lawson, Mr. Snyder. I‘ll manage the matter properly.”
Sadie calmed down quickly.
Tris said softly, “Ms. Wolfenden, tomorrow is the deadline Mr. Gustin gave to us...”
Sadie‘s expression changed drastically. She was furious and wanted to reprimand Iris for not reporting to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher in advance.
Nonetheless, she suppressed her emotions at the sight of how Miles was looking at her like a hawk.
She was convinced that Miles had hid the information from her on purpose!
He wanted her to make a fool of herself by making a mistake!
“Alright, noted,” Sadie replied nonchalantly after suppressing the anger in her chest. Miles found her lack
of emotional outburst a regret. Soon, however, he took a glance at Kayson. “I heard that The Tetrad‘s
staff members got into trouble again. Something about thrashing a bar?”
He sniggered and said, “The Tetrad‘s performance has always been unsatisfactory, yet they‘re constantly
getting into trouble and ruining the company‘s reputation. “I can see that there‘s no point in keeping the
group anymore, so I‘m proposing to abolish The Tetrad!” Sadie gnashed her teeth in rage. The b*st*rd
actually threatened her with The Tetrad! Meanwhile, Kayson, who had been keeping quiet all along,
spoke. “Mr. Lawson, right?”
Miles looked toward Kayson nonchalantly.
Kayson smiled. “Mr. Lawson, you‘re really good at meddling with other people‘s matters, huh? Since
you‘ve made the point, I shall wager a bet against you then.
“I‘ve read the company‘s handbook and understand that the lowest performance standard for a project
group is $3,000,000. “When The Tetrad signs a project worth more than $3,000,000 within a month, I
figure that there won‘t be any objection from you by then, right?” Miles was momentarily stunned upon
hearing that. He was delighted, though. ‘Foolish boy, that‘s an impossible mission!‘
:
Miles burst out laughing aloud. “Sure! The newly–joined Yarde seems to have a lot of confidence in The
Tetrad. I shall wait and see then!”
Sadie glared at Kayson ferociously–she was furious! ‘B*st*rd! Why are you causing more trouble!?‘
