Task NO 1 How To Pursue Miss CEO Chapter 147

Chapter 147 Wealthy Women Are Generally Corrupted

Meredith’s question seemed to have enlightened Megan. “Yeah, how did she manage to get her hands on so much money?” “Wealth corrupts men, whereas wealthy women are generally corrupted. How can you forget about this rule of thumb?”

Megan exclaimed, “Yeah! That b*tch must’ve found herself another man! Judging from her looks, I bet she’s great at seducing men! No, I must investigate her! I need to know everything about her!”

“She started her business in Springvale. I have a friend who lives there, so you should go investigate in person. It will also let you avoid dealing with the divorce.”

“If I went, wouldn’t Finneas get even bolder?”

“Don’t you worry. I’ll watch over him in your stead.”

Megan trusted Meredith, so she caught a plane to Springvale in the afternoon that day itself.

Meanwhile, back in JNS Corporation.

Things were going well in the company based in Astoria, which seemed to be the case ever since Selena agreed to be Pierre’s girlfriend. However, they never contacted each other ever since establishing their relationship. They didn’t even exchange a text, which disconcerted Selena, as she couldn’t help but wonder if Pierre had something else that he hadn’t told her.

Checking on her phone, she saw no updates on his social media despite having labeled him as a close friend. “That’s weird. What are his plans anyway?”

At that moment, Linda came in after knocking on the door, prompting Selena to put her phone away. “President Yard, your father is here again.”

Upon hearing that, she heaved a sigh. “What is it this time?”

“He told me that your family’s company will soon be bankrupt, so he needs to see you.”

“Are you sure they’re going bankrupt soon?” While she knew the company would sooner or later come close to being bankrupt, she didn’t expect it to happen so soon.

“I did a quick investigation on the matter. He wasn’t lying. The shareholders of Yard Group are in a state of upheaval due to this.”

“Something’s wrong. Although their sales promotion is a vicious cycle, they had just started it, so the effects shouldn’t have kicked in until the next quarter before spreading out. It should be until then that they would be forced to close shop and declare bankruptcy. This is happening way too soon.” While Selena knew from the beginning that it wouldn’t end well, they shouldn’t have come to this so soon. Linda merely shrugged at her.

“Let him in.” All of a sudden, she thought of someone else. Could it be that Pierre did something? If nobody interfered with the process, Yard Group should be able to last at least until next summer. The fact that they were almost bankrupt by now could only mean that they were faced with pressure from all sides, and the only person capable of such deeds would be none other than Pierre Fowler.

In the meantime, Roland came into the room with a flattering look on his face. This time, he sat down obediently across from Selena, and neither did he make a show of himself by barking orders. “Selena, our family’s company is in a dire predicament. I wouldn’t have come to you unless I was truly out of options, so please, help your father out.”

Maintaining an aloof facade, Selena lectured, “Do you understand why your company brand deteriorated so quickly? It’s all because of Megan, who works as your designer! By claiming to be on

the cutting edge of the market, you priced your products so highly, yet her designs are just mediocre! It’s no surprise that your company is going bankrupt!”

“Yes, you are right in all regards! However, you have to help me out! The company was set up by your mother and me. You wouldn’t just sit by idly and watch her efforts go to waste, right?” Roland had no choice but to mention her mother. Staring at him, Selena despised him for only mentioning her mother when things came to that point.
