SWNOVELS Chapter 90
The Ex-Husband's Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 90
"You're... Leon's girlfriend? Is that true?" The shock that came over Iris left her mouth. wide agape. She clearly remembered that Ariel did not really like Leon when they met two days ago, and Ariel even went so far as to keep calling him a sissy.
Little did she expect that Ariel and Leon would get closer within just two days, and even more remarkable was that their relationship proceeded at a near-Godspeed
pace!
"I'm not his girlfriend..." Ariel glared at Iris angrily and thought to herself, 'It's all because I took the blame for you after you fired Joseph!'
"N-n-no, not at all... She's not my girlfriend, Iri- Uhh... Miss Young. We have nothing to do with each other, please believe me!"
Leon waved his hands again and again in a show of genuineness as he did not want Iris to misunderstand his relationship with Ariel!
"You..." Ariel fumed in anger and could not understand what Leon tried to convey with his actions. He seemed so eager to clear up the misunderstanding in front of everyone that it almost felt as though he was worried that she would fall for him!
'Is he serious? Where did he get that kind of confidence! Ariel gritted her teeth. It was good enough that she could restrain herself instead of storming off in anger!
Iris looked at Leon, then at Ariel, and seemed to realize something before forcing a smile and saying, "Alright. Back to business! Do share your opinion in detail with us, Miss Summers!"
Ariel took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Our company's development has reached a bottleneck., and all we get by cooperating with the Westpraise Group is stability and stagnancy. There won' be any progress! The Wick Group is far more capable than the Westpraise Group in terms of sales channel share and influence, so our only avenue to move forward is by cooperating with the Wick Group! It might be risky, but I firmly believe that it's an opportunity worth pursuing!"
After Ariel finished speaking, the senior figures in the company could not resist engaging in a heated discussion.
Although Ariel's point of view is the same as Leon's, Leon's rant earlier had no basis at all, and it would have been quite surprising if anyone believed him!
By contrast, Ariel's analysis was professional and well-founded, thus lending more. credibility to her opinion.
"Miss Summers is right. This is a far-sighted approach!"
"I also agree with Miss Summers's point of view. The Westpraise Group's demand for more profits is very harmful to our company's interests. We might as well take the opportunity to try to reach an agreement with the Wick Group!"
"So long as it is successful, our company's prospects for future development will undoubtedly be much broader!"
Some of the high-level progressives began to support Ariel, but the more conservative senior executives still felt that Michael's method was more stable.
Michael's face became ashen before turning red. As Ariel's suitor, he would have given her his unconditional support in the past! Alas, Leon was the first to put forward that suggestion. Given his animosity with Leon, one could imagine how hurt he felt that Ariel chose to support Leon instead of him!
Agreeing with Ariel's point of view was equivalent to bowing his head to Leon and admitting defeat! That was the last thing that he wanted!
"Miss Young, I still believe our company should continue to cooperate with the Westpraise Group!"
"First of all," Michael reasoned, "there's very little hope for us to reach a cooperation with the Wick Group. We're running out of time, and the chances of success are very low due to insufficient preparation from our end!"
Michael then continued, "Secondly, the term of the contract is one year. We can cooperate with the Westpraise Group during this time to maintain the company's stability, and make use of the one year to make preparations for initiating
cooperation with the Wick Group for the next phase. That way, the company's future development prospects won't be affected at all!"
