This day, Amy got to the company as usual but Avery and Serena were nowhere to be found.
Both of them were punctual for work so she had a sudden sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach.
She called her secretary but the latter asked, "Didn't you go to the press conference?"
"What press conference? I don't know." Amy was stunned, her feeling of losing insignificance intensified.
It couldn't be that Serena had spoken ill of her with Avery because he had no tolerance for betrayal.
He would have fired her without hesitation if he'd known what she had done.
The only explanation was that Serena intended to defeat her by herself.
Amy was exasperated that she knew nothing about the press conference. She used to be the one Avery trusted most.
But since Serena had came, everything changed and she became the least important person in the company.
"The press conferences for the acquisition. Didn't the president tell you?" The secretary sounded confused.
"Acquisition?"
"The Eastern Group has purchased the M Group. The president and vice president are attending the press conference today. I thought you are there too."
Amy was stunned.
"When did it happen? How come I don't know? We don't have so much money for the acquisition," she asked.
The M Group was too large for the Eastern Group to acquire.
Even if it was true, why was she ignorant of such a big event?
"I don't know the details. The president informed me last night in a call."
"How did he get that amount of money? As far as I know, the number in our account is far from enough."
Although Serena had invested 5 million dollars not long ago, it was still not enough.
"It's said it's the vice president who raised funds."
Amy frowned. How could Serena collect so much money overnight? Who on earth was she?
She hung up the phone hastily and hurried to the
scene.
If Serena managed to acquire the M Group, she would be doomed.
It was very crowded where the press conference was held.
People at the scene were no less surprised than Amy.
It was rare that a big company was acquired by a small one.
It sounded more like a mirage than reality.
