“Auntie, when I saved you, I didn’t think much about it. I just wanted to protect Ulric’s mother because he would be heartbroken if something happened to you.”
“That’s why all these years, I’ve always believed you are the most sensible and the one who loves my son the most! That Rosalind, I don’t acknowledge her at all! When I was kidnapped back then, if those people had really taken my photos and used them to threaten W Group, the Walters family would have been at their mercy! Ulric’s father and I would have-”
“Auntie, please stop!” Sirena quickly interrupted. “Don’t dwell on the past! I’ve never regretted saving you, even if I didn’t end up with Ulric.”
The more she spoke like this, the more guilty Audrey felt.
Those people intended to humiliate Audrey and take indecent photos to blackmail W Group! If they had succeeded, Audrey couldn’t imagine how she would continue living with her husband or how the Walters family would be manipulated!
It was Sirena who risked everything to rush in, proposing a one-for-one exchange as Ulric’s fiancee to get her out.
The kidnappers thought that taking indecent photos of Ulric’s fiancee might be even more threatening, so they agreed in the end.
To this day, Audrey clearly remembered when Sirena was rescued. She was covered in wounds, her clothes torn to shreds, and there was blood between her legs…
Audrey couldn’t imagine what kind of inhumane torture Sirena had endured in those few hours! Without her, all that torment would have been hers to bear.
So even though those indecent photos were intercepted in time and never leaked out, and the whole matter was completely sealed by the Walters family, Audrey still insisted on having Sirena as her daughter-in-law because it was what the Walters family owed her!
“He will marry you, believe me. Just hold on a little longer. I will clear all obstacles for you, including that Rosalind.”
“Okay…”
…
In the W Group conference room.
Leaders from various departments and senior shareholders attended this meeting.
Since their domestic industry had already reached its peak, they either had to expand abroad or incorporate even small investment projects.
Ulric advocated for expansion abroad because it was necessary to leave some room for domestic investment companies instead of monopolizing everything and driving other companies out of business.
But some shareholders felt that if there was guaranteed profit within reach, why not take it?
“Mr. Walters, you mentioned wanting to continue establishing new companies domestically. But as far as I know, you just acquired a domestic investment company called Eastsun Corporation. What does this mean?”
Ulric anticipated this question and had prepared his response.
“Because Eastsun Corporation has the talent I want. My headhunter couldn’t recruit them, so I had to merge the company into W Group. Naturally, the talent came along.”
“Talent?” The shareholders exchanged glances.
After all, buying a company for one person seemed quite extravagant.
“The money for acquiring Eastsun Corporation came from my personal account, so I didn’t notify you in advance. This doesn’t conflict with expanding the company.”
Since their president said he paid out of his own pocket, who could say anything?
“Mr. Walters, may we ask what this talent’s name is? What field are they in?” To make W Group’s president so keen must mean an extraordinary talent!
“It’s an assistant. You don’t need to know more. I recruited her simply because-I find her useful.”
