She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment

anya off, without having any time to wonder what Joel was referring to that was more important than company shares, Nora went straight to the Hunt Corporation.

Now that she was the CEO of the Hunt Corporation, she couldn’t stay at home and sleep in every day anymore.

In addition, she had to take care of all the company matters and get everything on the right track as soon as possible.
Only then would she be able to leave and look for the V16!

When Nora arrived at the company in the car, the surrounding employees all looked at her and started pointing and gesturing at her.

The moment she arrived at her office, Roger invited himself in.
At the sight of Nora, he sighed silently and said, “Nora, didn’t I already tell you to sell the gold futures? Yet you simply refuse to listen! Well, look at how we’ve made even more losses now!”

Nora lowered her head.
“Mmhmm.”

Roger hadn’t closed the door when he entered, deliberately letting the people in the secretarial department outside hear what he was about to say.

“Nora, I know you are rich, and I also know that Grandma gave you 50 million dollars.
But it’s the company that’s losing money here! You have enough money to support your willfulness, but what about the company’s shareholders? And these employees in the company too.
What are they supposed to do?”

Nora frowned and replied, “I will bear all the losses.
I will also give the shareholders and employees an explanation, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Before he came, Roger had already guessed as much that she would say that, so he immediately acted like he was painstakingly trying to persuade and talk sense into her.

“Nora, I know you are rich.
Even if you use up all of Grandma’s 50 million dollars as compensation, you still can get money from the Smiths.
At the worst, you can even compensate for the losses with Justin’s money, but don’t you know that you are just eating into your savings by doing that? You will empty your savings one day! Besides, with the way you’re behaving, how are you going to give the people in the Hunt Corporation any hope? Do you know that everyone in the company has been feeling jittery and uneasy since Justin’s accident? In fact, there are even rumors going about outside that the Hunt Corporation is about to lose its position as the number one company in America!”

Nora: “?”

Roger continued.
“Over the years, the Hunts and the Smiths have been vying for the top spot in America.
From the start, the two companies’ profits have been more or less the same.
If you make losses in a few projects, it may lead to a change in our position.
Do you really want to see that happen?!”

Everyone said that the Smiths and the Hunts were competing and fighting with each other, but from Nora’s perspective, the two companies had always been doing business in a mutually beneficial manner.
It was fine as long as both made money, why bother caring about who earned more?

Whether it was Joel, Justin, or even Ian, they had never thought about competing for top spot and whatnot.
On the contrary, these empty accolades were all given by outsiders.

As a Hunt, it went without saying that Roger understood that.

Yet he’d still voiced such a ludicrous question

—especially when his question caught the attention of those outside.

Through the door, Nora could see that everyone in the secretarial department had pricked up their ears to hear how she was going to answer!

In addition, before she could answer, Roger was already starting to set up a trap for her.
He said, “No, wait.
Nora, you’re a Smith, so you must favor the Smiths instead! I see, so that’s how it is! … Even though you’ve borne Justin three children, you’re still a Smith! And your daughter is also a Smith! Even after she and Justin acknowledged each other as father and daughter, she didn’t change her last name all this time!”

Roger suddenly thought of something and he even said, “I get it now, I’ve finally figured it out! I have been perplexed about why you refuse to cut our losses despite gold prices clearly plummeting day by day.
As it turns out, you were lying in wait for that!”

Nosy and gossipy secretaries would send news of their dispute to the group chats.
Thus, Roger’s words were like a thunderbolt that bombarded the hearts of all the employees of the Hunt Corporation.

Everyone launched into a discussion in the group chat.

“Is Ms.
Smith’s heart really not in here?”

“Surely it’s not that bad? After all, the two families have already allied with each other through a political marriage.
They even have children!”

“Friend, Ms.
Smith and Mr.
Hunt are just engaged, they are not married yet! Legally, Ms.
Smith is not Mr.
Hunt’s wife yet!”

“Oh my god! Now that you’ve put it that way, I’m suddenly starting to form a conspiracy theory here… No, no, surely not? Is Ms.
Smith actually here to harm us? Will a company as big as the Hunt Corporation really go out of business?”

“I feel so anxious! Will they lay off staff? Will I be laid off? I’m already middle-aged! If I lose this job, I won’t be able to find a better job at all!”

Everyone was speculating.
For a while, all the employees in the company panicked.

The local media also reported the incident and it made headlines in business news.
For a while, everyone was discussing it on the Internet as well as in real life.

The focus of their discussion was:

In order to take the top spot in the country, the Smiths were stooping too low!

Nora also came under fire on the Internet:

“I’ve suddenly understood the Smiths’ ploys.
The way wealthy families manipulate people is really so sinister! Oh gosh, how scary!” “Nora? She’s the top socialite, right? So, the way to rout the enemy is to bear him a child, then inherit his business and bring down his company?”

Some reporters also cornered Nora and asked her for her opinion on the matter.

Nora merely looked at the camera and said a few words.

“In two days, I will tell you the answer.”
