Seeing that no one had any objections, Aidan added Arielle‘s clause to the contract.
If Arielle fulfilled the contract, Jacob and Oliver would be stripped of their positions as directors. It
meant that they would only be shareholders of the company and did not have any power over Southall
Group.
After Arielle signed
the contract, she clapped her hands together and announced, “Thank you for your hard work. I‘ve brou
ght a basket of fruits outside to serve as
light refreshments. Please enjoy them to your heart‘s content.”
With that, she left the meeting room with Aidan at her heels.
Before she stepped out, Arielle came to
a sudden halt and whirled around. “I almost forgot. I hope everyone will abide by workplace etiquette. P
lease refrain from addressing me by my name. Instead, you should address me as Ms. Moore,” she de
clared.
Without another word, Arielle left the meeting room.
The directors in the meeting room were conflicted. Although a handful of them sided with Arielle, a majo
rity of the directors chose to wait and watch from the sidelines.
To them, the identity of their
new chairman wasn‘t of utmost concern. Instead, they were much more interested in restoring the com
pany‘s profitability.
Even if the AI technology department was earning a
departments.
Hence, it would be up to Arielle to handle this matter.
Oliver was seething with rage. “It‘s all because of your nonsense!” He glared at Jacob. “Why did
you tell her that she needed the educational qualification to become the new chairman? Now that she h
as trampled all over
“Mr. Moore, relax. Don‘t forget about the contract we just signed.” Jacob chuckled in response.
How can Arielle accomplish something that we couldn‘t? Does she really think that she can change eve
rything within a month? What a joke!
Hearing this, Oliver calmed down.
When they walked out of the meeting room, they caught sight of the fruits that Arielle had left for them.
“Are these lemons?” Oliver bent down and picked one up. “Why did she give us lemons?” he asked in c
onfusion.
Immediately, Oliver was furious. “Who do you think you are to call me a good–for–nothing?”
Jacob merely rolled his eyes. “Are you a fool? In
Lightspring, receiving lemons means that the person is calling you a good–for–nothing.”
Enraged, Oliver hurled the lemon to the floor and stomped on it. “F*ck!”
That b*tch! The audacity of her to humiliate me! Is she trying to provoke me?
Jacob laughed coldly. “I must admit, her foolish bravery is admirable. Oliver, why don‘t we join hands? T
ogether, we can teach her a lesson.”
Oliver nodded in agreement.
The two men came to a truce as they set their sights on the AI technology department.
Since the AI technology department was under Oliver‘s jurisdiction, he quickly called the staff
and forbade them from getting involved with Arielle.
It was already noon when Arielle strolled out of Southall Group
“Mr. Kane, thank you for your help today.” Arielle nodded slightly as she thanked him.
“You don‘t need to thank me at all. I was merely following Mr. Nightshire‘s instructions. I will try my best t
matter what.” Suddenly, he thought of something and said hesitantly, “Ms. Moore, I have something to m
“What is it?”
“You should not have signed that contract!” Aidan blurted out
“Oh?” Arielle turned to Aidan. “Do you think that I can‘t restore the company‘s profits?”
“Not at all.” Aidan shook his head. “But one month is simply too short. Even Nightshire Group cannot ac
Arielle merely smiled. “If that‘s what you are worried about, please rest assured that I can achieve
