The Legendary Man

Chapter 106 Turned Him Down

Josephine is the general manager of Smith Group?

The moment those words rang out, not only was Jonathan surprised, but even Miguel and Ezra wore looks of stupefaction on their faces.

They couldn’t quite believe their ears.

Miguel, in particular, gaped at Hugo incredulously. “Dad, when did Josephine become the general manager of Smith Group?”

“Just a moment ago,” Hugo replied coldly.

“Why?” Miguel demanded through gritted teeth.

I’m the general manager of Smith Group! Why has it become Josephine instead?

“Do I need your permission before I make a decision?” Hugo’s voice turned even frostier.

“Dad!”

Miguel grew so incandescent that his eyes blazed scarlet.

If Josephine becomes the general manager of Smith Group, what position will I occupy?

“All right, that’s enough!” Hugo cut him off. Turning to Jonathan, he remarked, “Mr. Goldstein, don’t tell me you don’t even trust Josephine?”

“Does she know about this?” Jonathan glanced at him placidly.

I’ve got to admit that this cunning old fox is indeed very crafty! At a single glance, he discerned Josephine’s importance to me.

Shaking his head, Hugo answered, “No, she doesn’t know about this yet. But if you’re willing to agree to my request, I’ll immediately notify everyone in Smith Group that Josephine is the general manager starting tomorrow. Ah no, from tonight onward!”
