When the attendees saw Chloe enter, their expressions previously brimming with schadenfreude–shifted to stunned disbelief. She had actually shown up. She hadn’t avoided the situation, nor did she seem anxious or unsettled. Instead, she appeared confident and composed.
What was going on? This wasn’t how things were supposed to unfold.
The shareholders averted their eyes, visibly embarrassed. They had just been openly criticizing her, and now here she was–clearly having overheard their remarks.
“Chloe, there are only about ten minutes left until the partnership negotiation concludes. Looking across all the business associations in Capaville, the project you’ve proposed requires a capital injection of one billion dollars. So far, aside from Mr. Myers of Myers Group, no other company has stepped forward,” said Gordon, stepping forward with a serious expression. He had remained quiet until now.
“I’ve come to understand the personal history between you and Mr. Myers. In my opinion, we shouldn’t let personal matters interfere with business. Relationship issues should be handled privately. Bringing personal grievances into the workplace is unprofessional and negatively impacts the company.”
Noticing the attention from those around them, Gordon moved closer and lowered his voice so only Chloe could hear. “Lewis Group urgently needs a breakthrough–we can’t afford to keep declining. To be honest, I truly hope you can take independent charge and guide Lewis Group toward genuine reform and growth. But… is it really appropriate to let personal feelings dictate such a critical decision?”
“Are you suggesting I’m being petty?” Chloe looked at him and offered a faint smile.
Seeing her calm demeanor at a moment like this, Gordon frowned. “I’m speaking to you in all seriousness. Myers Group has doubled its offer to two billion. You must understand what that means for Lewis Group.”
“I do.”
“If you understand, then you know Lewis Group is in a precarious position. No one readily invests a billion dollars in a company operating at a loss, let alone two billion all at once. Mr. Myers is extending goodwill toward you. He’s shown his sincerity. I believe Lewis Group should…” Gordon looked at her with earnest expectation. “The two of you…”
“I’ve made it clear that Lewis Group will not partner with Myers Group. Even if we fail to secure a new partner today and face bankruptcy tomorrow, Myers Group remains off the table,” Chloe stated firmly, then walked directly toward the negotiation area.
The shareholders exchanged dissatisfied glances. All she had to do was sign the new agreement with Myers Group, and the two–billion–dollar infusion would reverse Lewis Group’s losses. Arrogant as she might be, the fact that she had compelled Arthur to proactively offer such terms was a testament to her influence. With less than ten minutes remaining, Chloe maintained this stance. Was she truly that self–assured b simply unaware of the severity of the consequences?
“Chloe, don’t you realize that without new capital, Lewis Group won’t survive the month?” Gordon’s voice rose, echoing through the hall. The sudden outburst even drew the attention of Arthur, who was seated across the negotiation floor.
Chloe paused and turned to face the visibly angry Gordon.
Unlike the other shareholders who seemed to relish the drama, he was genuinely upset. His breathing was heavy, and his fists were clenched tightly at his sides–clearly struggling to contain his frustration.

Chloe regarded him with a gentle smile. “Mr. Wills, have you forgotten what was agreed upon at the shareholders‘ meeting? I have full authority over Lewis Group’s operations for the next month.
“Since I’m in charge, the final decision is mine. I decide who we partner with–and who we don’t.” With that, she turned and walked toward Arthur.
