Finnick's words rendered the others speechless.
He spoke nothing but the truth. There was nothing they could say to refute his argument.
If only Finnick was as easy to manipulate as Mark... The board members sighed deeply in their hearts.
With Finnick's exceptional intelligence, there was no doubt that Norton Corporation would achieve greater heights.
Alas, he acted for the Finnor Group. Unfortunately, that connoted the two companies would have to coexist as rivals.
When Finnick left, everyone held their breath. No one dared to utter a word. They were overwhelmed by Finnick's overpowering aura.
Of course, some rejoiced while others were worried.
After the board meeting concluded, Mark returned to his office.
Upon seeing the desk full of documents waiting to be signed, he began boiling with rage.
With a swing of his hand, all the items on the desk went flying and landed on the floor. His secretary, who heard the noise, could only tremble in fear.
At that moment, Ashley showed up.
She had nowhere to go after she was released, so she took shelter temporarily at Fabian's place.
When she caught wind that Finnick went to Norton Corporation, she grew anxious and rushed over.
"What are you doing here?” Mark huffed.
"I'm here to see if anything happened."
"Of course there is!" Mark bellowed, "It's all thanks to you and your foolish plans. That's why Finnick was able to barge in on our board meeting! If it weren't for the child in your womb, I wouldn't have to give up my company shares. You're an incompetent idiot! How dare you come to see me?"
All those scolding only made her detest Vivian more.
All of a sudden, a new plan came to mind.
"Calm down," said Ashley as she attempted to appease Mark. "I've thought of a new plan. I'm confident this will deal a heavy blow to Vivian and Finnick. Listen..."
Ashley leaned over to whisper in Mark's ear and revealed her new plan.
Mark's expression softened. Reluctantly, he agreed to her scheme. "I'll trust you one last time. This time, there would better be no mishaps."
