Right after Darrion spoke, a few other shareholders echoed his sentiment.
“Yeah, this happened to me too. My work is in a mess! Now, one person has to bear the workload that originally belonged to three people. No one can stand it!”
“If this situation continues, MY Corporation will close down one day!”
“Honestly, Miss Pond, you established this company, but you weren’t around for a few years. Even if you have ideas, you should carry them out step by step. Don’t get everything done at once!”
Silvia did not respond. Instead, she looked at Dulcie nonchalantly and said, “Show me what Mr. Torres’s department has been working on recently.”
Darrion’s expression changed. “Miss Pond, what is the meaning of this? You don’t trust me?”
Silvia took a folder containing the document from Dulcie. Then, she smiled and said, “Mr. Torres, I have more faith in data than your character. After all, data won’t lie to me.”
“How dare you!”
Darrion’s face turned red with rage, but Silvia closed the folder and looked at him coldly.
“Mr. Torres, based on the document, your department only has five projects in total. The deadlines for three projects are half a year away. Besides, you started the two other projects one year ago and
have yet to finish them.
“You shouldn’t come to me. Instead, you should reflect on why your staff members couldn’t finish two projects in one year even though there were so many of them previously!”
Silvia criticized Darrion until his face turned red. He felt totally embarrassed. He gritted his teeth and said, “Those two projects are in their final stages. Aside from that, other staff members have their own projects. We can’t ask them to leave their work to clean up this mess, right?”
Silvia was not amused. “That’s your business. You don’t have to tell me how you assign tasks. What I want is the final outcome! Besides, your department hasn’t secured any deals this year. If your department doesn’t produce any profit for the company, I’ll consider closing it by the end of the
year.”
Darrion’s expression turned dour. He glared at Silvia. “Miss Pond, this company doesn’t belong to you alone. You can’t act like a dictator.”
Silvia challenged him. “In that case, we’ll look at your earnings at the end of the year. If your department continues to make a loss, it’ll affect the other shareholders‘ bonus.”
Immediately after, all the shareholders looked at Darrion differently. The shareholders who had initially planned to cause trouble like Darrion felt a cold shiver run down their spines.
Silvia did not look at Darrion anymore. She appeared indifferent as she said, “I’ll make quarterly and novelbin

Silvia did not look at Darrion anymore. She appeared indifferent as she said, “I’ll make quarterly and
annual plans for each department. If it performs way worse than planned by the end of the year, either hand the department over to someone else or shut it down.” 1
I’ll
Seeing that everyone was silent, Silvia got up and said, “If there are no issues, we’ll end the meeting here. Dismissed!”
Darrion stared at her gloomily as she left.
In the subsequent days, Silvia kept herself busy with her company. She did not interact much with Neil either. They would only meet whenever they left and returned to the mansion every day.
Soon, it was the day before Dulcie’s birthday. After Silvia punched out, she headed to JM to pick up the gown she had prepared for Dulcie. 2
As soon as she entered the shopping mall, she bumped into Ada and Melanie. They were holding hands while shopping.
When they saw Silvia, their expressions changed.
Melanie frowned at Silvia as she coldly asked, “Why are you here?”
“I came to do something.”
Melanie was her mother–in–law, but Silvia knew that Ada had always been her ideal daughter–in- law. Therefore, no matter how hard Silvia tried to please her all these years, Melanie never took her seriously.
However, Silvia had gotten over it. She was also not as nervous as she used to be when she faced
Melanie.
Melanie was annoyed when she noticed that Silvia was about to leave. “I’m planning to buy two
dresses. Since we bumped into each other, come and help me out!” she said.
In the past, Melanie would often buy dresses that did not suit her. However, after she went shopping
with Silvia a few times, she realized that Silvia could always find the most suitable dress for her. Other rich ladies would also compliment her when they met her. This made her get used to letting Silvia pick dresses for her whenever she went shopping.
She was shopping with Ada today. The dresses that Ada picked for her looked nice as well. Yet, when she put them on, they did not seem as great as those picked by Silvia. 1
Even though Silvia heard Melanie’s commanding tone, she remained indifferent. “I have something to do. Ada can help you out.”
Silvia left after that.
Melanie was furious. She glared at Silvia as she gritted her teeth and said, “She’s pissing me off! I shouldn’t have let her marry Neil!”
“Mrs. Remus, don’t be angry. That’s just how she is. She’s not doing it on purpose.”
When Melanie heard this, she frowned without another word.
