Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 199

Isaac wheeled Horace before the big screen. Horace picked up the infrared pen, turned around and circled some of the paragraphs.

"This... this... and this..."

"They may sound perfect, and are supposed to drag down the competitors and uplift ourselves."

"But, I don't know whether it's because they were drawn hastily or made out of emergency, it doesn't take counter measures into account. It's just a temporary response to the competitor."

"The way I see it, the proposal is more of an idealized house-playing game than a emergency temporary resolution."

"If Mr. Kirkland's proposals are always like this, I don't see the point you keeping this company."

Despite Horace's aggression, Sean had to swallow his anger.

But Horace wouldn't seem to let him off that easily.

"Oh, no," Horace said with a half-smile. His following words almost destroyed Sean's last bit of mental defense, "If I remember it right, the company itself does seem to be heading for a shut-down lately."

"You..."

Without any hesitation or worries, Horace continued to say, "Mr. Kirkland, your company profits and share price have both been plummeting, and even worse, some of the subsidiaries have been devalued to a point where it'll be a gimme for me to take over."

After hearing his speech, those who meant to argue with him lapsed into dead silence.

Indeed, every single word he had said was true and beyond question.

If only Horace had been as easy to manipulate as Sean...

The board were lamenting inside...

In that case, their company would have gone to a higher level with Horace's shrewdness and prudence.

It's such a shame that he represented Solrace, which meant that he could only be a rival.

When Horace was leaving, they were all so intimidated by the commanding man that no one dared to say another word.

And that was bound to be a delight for some and misery for the others.

Sean returned to his office when the meeting was over.

It added to his fury when he saw the large pile of files on the desk pending his signature.

He threw his arm around, with the files and the mugs fallen all over the floor, and the secretary outside the door was terrified.

Later, Ashlee came for a visit.

She was homeless after she had been set free, so she was staying at Darren's.

She had heard that Horace had been to Sean's company, and she was so worried that she came over.

"What are you doing here!" Sean said furiously.

"I'm here to see how is everything going."

"Going? Everything is running down to hell!" Sean lost it and yelled, "It's all because of your stupid plan! It's all because of what you have done, he was able to barge in a board meeting!"

"If not for the baby, how on earth would have given over the shares to save you?"

"You stupid woman, you just can't so anything right! How dare you come here to see me?"

With the words got harsher, so did her hatred against Clara.

All of a sudden, she came up with a new scheme.

"Relax," said Ashlee, trying to soothe his feelings, "I've got a new idea, which will definitely give a heavy blow to Horace and Clara. Listen to me..."

She got close to his ear and whispered the new idea to him.
