Chapter 419 Changed Into A Completely Different Person

“Anything else?”

“Hmm...” The person on the other end of the line thought for a while before saying, “Mr. Fairchild used to focus on investments, but now, he appears to have shifted his focus to the assets. There's a rumor that...”

“What is it about?”

“The rumor is that Mr. Benjamin is deeply dissatisfied with Mr. Xavier's performance because... Well, because of you. That's why Mr. Benjamin might intervene in the company's affairs,” the woman replied.

Nonetheless, Winnie still felt somewhat puzzled. “The secretarial department is the core of the entire company. If the rumor is true, wouldn't your department know?”

“I didn't get wind of it either. That's why I thought it odd.” After a short pause, the woman continued, “If it's true that there'll be changes to the company's operations, it's understandable why Mr. Fairchild would take a sudden interest in the company's assets. After all, there's a possibility they might get split. But for now, we haven't heard of anything yet, and it's weird that Mr. Fairchild suddenly shifted his focus. After pondering for a while, I decided to let you know.”

“You did well. You can always come to me if there's anything,” said Winnie. Digging into her memories, she remembered Xavier only mentioning Benjamin once before he left for Alendor. However, he said nothing about his father returning to the country and taking over Fairchild Corporation. In that case, the abrupt shift in his focus is rather unusual.

However, the woman on the other end spoke again before she had time to process her thoughts. “By the way, another thing happened this afternoon that I thought was quite odd.”

“Go ahead,” Winnie replied, lifting a hand and massaging her temples. Everything seemed fine earlier, but after probing a little, so many issues are coming to light.

“Immediately after the meeting, Mr. Fairchild returned to his office to rest. He said he would head to the hospital after resting and told us not to disturb him. Then, he asked us to prepare a cup of coffee for him. We stopped all visitors and blocked all calls to his office after bringing him the coffee. Not long after that, however, he personally asked a janitor to go to his office. He didn't pass the order through us. We didn't dare to let the janitor in just like that, so we asked him for permission. He explained it was because he had accidentally spilled the coffee. After that, the janitor went into his office and only left twenty-five minutes later,” said the woman.

Instantly, Winnie sensed that something was off about the incident. “Twenty-five minutes? Does it take that long to clean up a coffee spill? Also, why did he ask for coffee if he was going to rest? Are you sure that's what happened?”
