A Moment in Destiny

When both Kasper and Teddie had sat down, they turned their eyes to Sylvie.

Sylvie smiled faintly and said, “What do you all want from me?”

She spoke by addressing their personal titles as she thought since they had come to see her, they surely had to come to ask her to speak for them in front of Marley and ask for mercy.

Both of them were stunned when they heard Sylvie’s calling. Teddie was embarrassed and after a pause, he said, “Sylvie, we know that we have done something wrong in the past and that we have responsibility that we cannot shirk when the company is in crisis. But Marley is so overbearing that he wants us to withdraw from the director board, yet, we can’t accept the low purchase price!”

Sylvie nodded while listening to Teddie’s words. “Do both uncles think that the purchase price is low?”

“That’s right!” Kasper said too.

“What do you all mean to come to see me today?” Sylvie went straight to the point.

“We wouldn’t withdraw from the director board!”

“Oh!” Sylvie just nodded slightly and looked at them with a faint smile on her face.

Kasper said again, “The Hughes Group belongs to the Hughes family but not to Marley! Thinking back that three of us endured hardship and made today’s achievement, yet, he just gives us few dozens of millions to buy our shares. He is so overbearing!”

“What a heartless beast! Even Aiden has never treated us like this! He is so ruthless to his uncles!” Teddie followed cursing after him.

Sylvie frowned and laughed gently, “Teddie, isn’t that a bit too much? You don’t act like an elder and how can your juniors respect you? To be honest, I don’t think Marley is at fault! I ask you, who is the one that has helped the outsiders to deal with the Hughes Group and leaking the secrets of our bids to the outsiders? If I hadn’t analyzed the reports of those failed bids yesterday, I wouldn’t have been able to see the problem! And today I’d like to ask you why we fail every time when we are so far ahead of our competitors in this industry? And how do you, who is in charge of the bidding, sell our bids to our rivals?”

“What? Sylvie, don’t slander me!” Teddie stood up in an instant and shouted at Sylvie, “You are telling me nonsense! I’m a member of the Hughes Group, how can I sell the trade secrets?”

And you as my father-in-law’s brother, what is inside your heart? You want to frame him when he is sick and hospitalized instead of doing your best to defend the Hughes Group.

“Sylvie Mccarthy…” Teddie shouted.
