Upon hearing this, everyone except Henry looked at her in horror.
This woman was the devil. With a harmless smile on her face, she lightly said that she wanted to take down other people's companies to expand hers. Who was she if she wasn’t the devil?
Although everyone's purpose of being here was to take down other companies as well, they wouldn’t be so blunt.
It wouldn't be good to allude to anyone here with that bluntness.
All the businessmen here didn’t like to hear blunt words about annexing other people’s companies. After all, no one knew when their company would be annexed, so it was too straightforward to talk about annexing the company, which would upset others easily.
Yvonne had a panoramic view of everyone’s reactions.
She probably guessed what they were thinking, but she pretended to know nothing and looked at these people playfully. "What's the matter? Why are you all looking at me like this? Is there anything on my face?"
Everyone quickly retracted their gazes and shook their heads. "No, no."
This woman dared to speak out in front of so many of them, saying that she wanted to take down other companies to expand hers. She made it clear that she wasn't afraid of offending others or being targeted.
This showed that she either had a strong background or that she was a lunatic.
"That's what I thought. My makeup is perfect today, so how can there be anything on my face?" Yvonne touched her face.
Seeing her narcissistic appearance, everyone couldn’t help but twitch the corners of their mouths.
Henry suddenly asked, "Which company do you want t o take down?"
Yvonne took her hand off her face and said, "Do you have any prospects, Henry? Let me know if you have any prospects. I'm afraid that we'll be interested in the same company. If that's so, then I won't take it."
Henry shook his head gently. "That’s fine. I don’t want any."
He didn't come here to annex any of the companies.
He was here to ease Theo’s mother’s anger.
The others got excited and their eyes lit up when they heard that Henry didn't want to take down any company.
After all, there were so many people here, but only a few companies. Naturally, one couldn't take down a company by himself, so everyone was mentally prepared to divide the company equally among two or three people.
But when Henry showed up, they felt that the direction of things was different from what they initially thought. It was absolutely impossible for such a behemoth like the Lancaster Group to share equally with them. The Lancaster Group would want to take a company all by themselves, so the people here were prepared to give up a company too.
However, they didn't expect Henry to want nothing, so how could they not get excited? This piqued their interest.
"In that case." Yvonne pretended not to see the people's small movements — she tilted her head and thought out loud. "I want the Wadkins Group."
Everyone was shocked when she said this.
"The Wadkins Group?" Someone stood up and sneered, "Miss Smith, the Wadkins Group is the most powerful among the other companies. Your newly-established company in Vancouver hasn't even been listed yet. Can you afford to take it down?"
Henry frowned and looked up at the speaker, his eyes a little unpleasant.
He subconsciously didn't want to hear the sarcasm.
Yvonne didn't notice Henry's strangeness. She also looked at him with a bright smile, but her eyes were full of coldness. "Why can't I? What do you think is the last name of my energy company?” "Of course it's Smith... wait... Smith?" The man suddenly realized something and swallowed his saliva in shock. "Miss Smith, are you from that Smith family?"
Yvonne nodded proudly. "That's right!"
She was the daughter of the Smith family, so she had the right to be proud!
In addition to surprise, everyone here was also full of bitterness.
They didn’t expect this woman to be from the Smith family. They heard that the Smith family intended to expand their business in Canada, but they didn't know that it was true.
Before this, they never thought that this newly-established energy company was related to the Smith family, so they were now embarrassed.
"It turns out that Miss Smith's energy company is a subsidiary of the Smith Group. As for the Wadkins Group, we won’t compete with you anymore, Miss Smith.” The person sat back in disbelief.
Yvonne snorted coldly, "Compete? You guys can’t compete with me. Even if I'm not a Smith, you guys wouldn't be able to do that."
