My Sleeping Beauty Husband

Chapter 246

Chapter 246 Take Action

Ivan looked at the dejected people in front of him, and his face twitched with

anger. “You said you failed? I didn’t expect so many of you couldn’t even handle

a woman! What are you doing? It turned out that I spent so much money

supporting you no–goods!”

The few people who had gone to make trouble lowered their heads and did not

dare to look at Ivan. They had to bear Ivan venting his anger. After a long time,

their head said in a low voice, “Mr. Smith, we didn’t expect this woman to be so

scheming. She used the carrot–and–stick approach so well that she fooled us.

Those workers‘ families were as timid as hares. A few words of that woman

frightened them to beg for mercy.”

Enter title…

After hearing what he said, Ivan sneered, “Don’t make excuses for you guys. I

think you guys exposed yourselves.”

It was not that Ivan had never seen Cynthia before. To him, she was just a

good–looking and soft woman and always hid behind Alston. She was, at best,

an obstetrician with good medical skills. She had never been in business, so

how could she be so calculating?

Ivan thought they must be making excuses for their failures.

“Get out of here! I don’t want to see you!” Ivan roared, and those people had no

choice but to leave in a panic.

Ivan sat on the sofa to temper his anger. Although the consequences of what

had happened today were

different from what he expected, and he was annoyed that it did not cause any

loss to the Smith Group, Cynthia was the only one who showed up when such a

significant incident happened. Something happened to Alston.

After realizing it, he couldn’t help but smile. To him, it was a godsend

opportunity. If he could take the chance to defeat the Smith Group, there would

be no one in Jadney City who only knew Alston and didn’t know Ivan. After

being suppressed by him for half his life, he could finally turn over.

Ivan couldn’t wait to see this day coming, and his face was full of excitement. As

soon as he thought of the scene that Alston would be trampled underfoot by him

in the future, he was ravished with joy.

Just when he was in a state of euphoria, his secretary knocked on the door

suddenly and came in, handing over the report forms for the first half of the year

to him.

Ivan retracted his smile, but there was a little joy in his eyes and brows, and he

seemed to be in a very good mood.

Seeing him like this, the secretary smiled and asked, “Mr. Smith, you look so

happy. What happened?”

Ivan flipped through the report forms casually, and after hearing the secretary’s

words, he raised his head to look at him. “Great news. Our Tansy Group is going

to turn over!”

The secretary needed clarification about what he said..

“Wait and see. Our good days are coming,” Ivan said meaningfully. Then he

asked the secretary to have an eye on the Smith Group these days and

reported to him whenever what happened.

Everything seemed to be calm over the past few days, but the Smith family,

operating steadily, frequently made mistakes. Except for the leading businesses

like real estate and technology, those small projects had frequent problems, and

even because several projects suffered heavy losses, they had to be canceled.

All the significant families in Jadney City took a wait–and–see attitude,

wondering if there was something wrong with the Smith Group. Still, because

the Smith Group’s employees were unforthcoming about what had happened,

they sent people to investigate for several days but got nothing.

When Ivan heard this from the secretary, he almost grinned ear to ear. He

thought Cynthia didn’t have any business talent as he expected because it took

little time for the Smith Group to lose so much. “Sure enough, women are

women. What they need to do is to stand behind the men. It is unnecessary to e

in the limelight,‘ Ivan couldn’t help but think.

The Smith Group had a problem, so his chance came.

Ivan looked at the Secretary and asked, “How much liquidity does our company

have?”

The secretary didn’t know why he was asking this, but he still checked it out and

told him. “There are 16 million you can transfer.”

“So little?” Ivan frowned. Such miserable money was not enough for what to do.

“The Tansy Group has a good performance during this period, so it shouldn’t be

only so little.”

When he said these words, the secretary showed an embarrassed look. “Mr.

Smith, it is not inconsiderable. Our group needs to invest money in many

projects during this period, and this amount of money is for emergencies.”

Ivan smacked his mouth and said, “Withdraw the money. I have something to

do.”

The secretary was startled. “Mr. Smith, no. The money is for emergencies. If you

take it away, what should we do if something happens to our company?”

Ivan was impatient to hear what the secretary said, so he waved his hand to

interrupt the secretary. “Enough. Our Tansy Group has such good momentum.

What will happen to it? I need the money urgently. Don’t worry. It will bring many

benefits for our company, and it won’t take long before we earn back.”

Ivan was aggressive and did not listen to any dissuasion. The secretary had no

choice but to follow his order.

“Don’t tell my dad about this. If my dad hears something, do you know what will

happen?”

Seeing threats in Ivan’s eyes, the secretary trembled. “Of course. I won’t tell himNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

about this.”

“That’s good!” Ivan put away the emotion in his eyes and smiled.

Ivan was sure the secretary was loyal to the Tansy Group. As his confidant, the

secretary would only listen to him unconditionally and never betray him.

Before leaving, the secretary asked worriedly, “Mr. Smith, what exactly do you

want this money for?”

Hearing the secretary’s question, Ivan smiled. What he wanted to do was

develop the projects the Smith Group had canceled. The suppliers and partners

were all ready–made, and he would not give up such a good opportunity.

Although Cynthia couldn’t manage those projects, he could. After all, he was not

green. He believed he could swallow the Smith Group bit by bit during Alston’s

absence from the company.

As long as Alston was absent from the company, Cynthia was a woman who

was not enough to be afraid of. At that time, when Alston came back and found

the Smith Group was gone, Alston couldn’t show off in front of him anymore.

“By the way, tomorrow is the 40th birthday of the Secretary–General of Jadney

City. You and I will go there together.”

Two days later.

Sitting in the office, Cynthia felt a little dizzy after signing a document. She

rubbed her temples, stood at the window, and looked into the distance. After

feeling her eyes were much more comfortable, she let out a deep breath.

She was too tired and felt highly pressured. As soon as she thought of so many

employees, she felt a heavy burden on her shoulders. Alston took over the

Smith Group at the age of 16. At that time, so many people did not recognize

him, and Clare was ready to calculate him anytime. Cynthia was curious how he

held up and developed the Smith Group.

“Alston, where are you now? When will you come back?” Cynthia couldn’t help

but ask in her heart.

She missed Alston so much. She had to rely on sleeping pills to fall asleep

every night. Alston had been away for a long time, and even his smell in the

room had faded. Cynthia hardly remembered his fragrance if he still couldn’t

come back.

Looking at the lush trees downstairs, she felt her eyes sore. At this moment,

someone knocked on the door three times.

She turned her head and saw Lloyd standing at the door with a tall, straight

figure. He seemed aware of her sadness, so he picked his words.

“Mrs. Smith!”

“What’s the matter?” Cynthia smiled, suppressed the thoughts in her heart, and

walked over.

Only then did Lloyd say, “I just got the news that Ivan has used all the working

capital of the Tansy Group to resume the project we cut off.”

“Really?” Cynthia was in a good mood, smiling so much that her almond eyes

narrowed.

Those projects of the Smith Group were cut off not because she needed to

learn how to manage and suffer losses but because Alston had planned to cut

off unnecessary tasks before.

She intentionally released the news, saying the Smith Group lost a lot and had

to cut these projects, which were all for Ivan.

According to Ivan’s character, he was so jealous of Alston that he would never

let go of this opportunity. As expected, Ivan did this in less than two days. He

used all the funds and properties of the Tansy Group to take over all the projects

the Smith Group gave up.

Excitement also flashed in Lloyd’s eyes, but the look on his face was still as

calm as ever. He pushed his gold- rimmed glasses and said, “Mrs. Smith,

yesterday Ivan was present at the 40th birthday of the Secretary – General of

Jadney City. He was in the limelight and gained the Secretary–General’s favor.”

Cynthia raised her eyebrows. “What?”

“He sent a particularly famous painting to the Secretary–General, who likes it.”

Lloyd raised his fingers and twirled his thumb and index finger.

A hint of understanding flashed across Cynthia’s eyes.

“Lloyd, it’s time to take action.”
