Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

Chapter 518 +25 BONUS Troy slammed the table , his tone laced with frustration .

It seems my efforts were all in vain .

Some people in the company dont appreciate my hard work and think Im just being foolish .

Fine , if thats the case , the Pharmaceutical Division doesnt need this collaboration with Ms.

Dickinson and Amberpeak Corporation .

After all , any losses will be the corporations , not mine .

Ruby seized the moment , feigning regret as she spoke Its such a pity .

If Mr.

MacAfee doesnt want this opportunity , Ill have to look elsewhere .

Perhaps the Weller family , whos been excelling in wellness products lately , might be interested .

Michael panicked , immediately forcing a smile .

Ms.

Dickinson , please dont be hasty .

Of course , we at Rhodes Corporation are eager for this partnership with Amberpeak Corporation .

Only a fool would reject it ! Ruby smirked , adding , You can want it all you like , but I only trust Mr.

MacAfee , so hell be my sole point of contact for this collaboration .

Michael nodded hastily , waving his hand .

No problem at all .

The Pharmaceutical Division is entirely under Mr.

MacAfees jurisdiction .

We never interfere .

He then turned to Lauren , his expression darkening .

Lauren , what exactly are you trying to do ? This is an incredible opportunity , and youre about to ruin it .

Dont forget your position .

Youre the vice CEO of Rhodes Corporation , and the companys interests should be your top priority .

Ruby chimed in with mock innocence , her tone dripping with sarcasm .

I understand Ms.

Rhodess reservations .

She clearly doesnt think much of me .

After all , someone like her , a high and mighty heiress , wouldnt let someone like me stand in her way .

To her , avoiding embarrassment is far more important than the companys benefit .

Lauren let out a cold laugh .

Ms.

Dickinson, your shameless attitude hasnt changed one bit , even after years behind bars .

Michael exploded in anger .

Lauren , Im warning you show some respect to our esteemed partner ! I know youve had personal issues with Ms.

Dickinson , but thats all history .

Shes turned over a new leaf and risen to success .

Cant you let it go ? Or are you just jealous ? Lauren narrowed her eyes .

Jealous ? Youre actually telling me shes reformed ? Thats rich .

Michael snorted .

Isnt it obvious ? Otherwise , why would you keep targeting her ? You clearly dont understand the stakes .

Not only Rhodes Corporation , but even the higher ups in the family wouldnt let an opportunity like this slip by .

Lauren shook her head , exasperated .

Youre as short sighted ever .

Michael , let me repeat myself : Ruby cannot be trusted .

People dont change , and shes nothing but a notorious corporate spy .

If you dont investigate this thoroughly , youre asking for disaster .

Michaels expression turned icy .

Thats enough .

You dont have the authority to make decisions on major group matters .

Im the CEO , and what I say goes When this partnership with Amberpeak Corporation propels our Pharmaceutical Division into Blumedale , Ill be standing on the familys podium , watching you grovel in apology before the family ! 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter $ 15 Lauren gave him a withering look , as if he were the biggest fool she had ever seen .

Sure , Michael .

You go ahead and dream about that .

Michael scoffed , then glanced around the room .

Anyone else have a problem ? No ? Good .

Meeting adjourned .

He had not really expected any objections no one ever dared to voice dissent against him .

However , Andrews voice rang out , cutting through the air .

I have a problem .

Everyone , sit back down .

Were not clone yet .

A wave of exasperation swept through the room as the executives hesitated , their frustration visible , wondering what Andrew was up to .
