Chapter 96 Boast Without Shame

Anaya changed her clothes and came out. Kelton asked her, “Do you still want to go back to the private room?”

“I want to go home.” Anaya shook her head.

Kelton felt a little distressed to see Anaya was obviously tired. “Don’t worry, I will help you get back at Addisyn.”

After Kelton finished his words, he looked at Hearst and said, “Mr. Helms, could you send Anaya back?”

“Of course,” Hearst said indifferently.

Kelton thought Hearst was much better than that bastard Joshua. “Thank you for helping Anaya today. You can come to me if you need anything.”

“Alright.”

There was still a group of people waiting for Kelton in the private room below. So he did not stay long and quickly left.

Hearst drove Anaya home. After getting out of the car, Anaya did not leave immediately.

“Mr. Helms, Joshua helped me once before, and I gave him hundreds of thousands of dollars in return.” Anaya stood by the car and looked inside. “I can pay you back in this way too if you want.”

Today, Joshua threatened Anaya with the favor he had done for her, which made her very uncomfortable.

Anaya hated owing a favor.

Therefore, Anaya didn’t want to be at a disadvantage because

of such a thing again..

“You don’t have to return it,” Hearst said in a light tone.

Hearst did not want Anaya to return the favor.

Because Hearst thought Anaya could always keep him in her

mind only in that case.

Hearst knew that if Anaya returned the favor, he would lose

contact with her.

Anaya frowned. “You should have heard the conversation

between Joshua and me. What if you force me as Joshua did just

now…”

“I am different from Joshua,” Hearst interrupted Anaya. “I

won’t do anything that you don’t like.”

Hearst looked at Anaya with his eyes full of affection and said straightforwardly and seriously, “Of course, other than chasing

you.”

Anaya felt her face blushing.

Anaya thought, this man looks cold and restrained. How could

he say such shameful words so directly?

“You’d better hurry back,” Anaya changed the topic and said. “Be careful on your way.”

The next morning, when Anaya arrived at the company, she called Tim into the office. “Are the funds for the land auction

ready?”

The auction of East Boston would be held tomorrow afternoon, and Anaya needed to confirm everything again.

“The finance department has got the fund ready.” Tim hesitated for a moment. “Ms. Dutt, Mark asked me to inform you that there is a shareholder meeting at 9 a.m. for you to attend on time.”

“Who called this meeting?” Anaya frowned.

“Several shareholders did that,” Tim carefully said. “It seems that the news that you want to bid for East Boston has spread. This meeting is probably held to persuade you to give up this project…

“Do

you need me to cancel the meeting?”

“No need.”

Anaya knew if she didn’t attend the meeting, the group of people would probably directly come to her office, so it was better to gather everyone together and make a one–time stand.

Anaya was ready for a verbal battle and took Tim to the meeting room on time.

After the meeting officially began, someone soon started to make things difficult for Anaya.

“Ms. Dutt, I heard that you are going to participate in the

auction for East Boston and you plan to build buildings there. Is that true? Who will rent shops in such a remote place? I don’t agree. How can you just jump into such a big project?”

The person who spoke was Jason Leach, an old member of

Riven Group. He had been in this position since Riven Group

was founded.

The man sitting next to Jason was a man of Mark’s. During the

time when Frank was detained, it was this man who tried to

help Frank out, but luckily Anaya’s men could always find that

in time to stop him.

Seeing that there was no hope of turning over the case, Frank asked this man to keep a close eye on Anaya’s work.

Frank believed that since Anaya was newly appointed and had no experience, it was easy to make mistakes in her work. Frank thought as long as he could catch Anaya napping, Anaya would

be pulled down from the position of the executive president,

and Mark would replace her for the time being.

Frank had been keeping an eye on Anaya’s work all this time. He had thought that it would take some time before he could catch hold of her weakness, but he had not expected that Anaya

would make a slip–up in her work so quickly.

East Boston was located in a remote area, and other than

building an industrial park there, there was no other value.

However, the subsidiary company under Riven Group already

had a complete industry chain, and there was no need to

expand the factory.

Even if the industrial park could be successfully sold after

being built, the profit was negligible.

Frank thought it was a waste of money and the circulating

funds to bid for a piece of land that had no value at all.

“Yes, that’s true.” Anaya sat upright, humble and polite, but her attitude was very tough. “I have to do this project. If it

fails, I will personally bear all the responsibility.”

“Bear all the responsibility? Can you? All your money belongs

to Riven Group, and if you use the money of Riven Group,

you’re spending our money!” Jason got furious.

The others also echoed in succession, all of them standing

opposite Anaya.

“That’s right. We are all shareholders of Riven Group. If you lose money on this project, everyone will have to take responsibility together. We have no reason to pay for your

willfulness!”

“There are so many potential projects waiting for us to do. Why do you insist on going into real estate? Are you too full of yourself? I am afraid you will fail in the end and implicate ust

all.”

“You once lent 800 million dollars to the Maltz family and put

Riven Group in great trouble. How dare you still do such a stupid thing? Mr. Dutt is still in the hospital. If he knows about

this, he will be furious!”

“Be quiet,” Anaya said in a cold voice. “In a week’s time,

documents will be issued that the authority will focus on the

development of East Boston. If it is well developed, it is very

likely to become the new CBD of Boston. At that time, you are

gonna make a fortune.”

Jason snorted, “Where did you get the news from? There is no

news from the outside world at all, and how could you know that? I am afraid that you have been deceived!”

“If this project fails,” Anaya said in a low but firm voice, “I will sell all the assets under my and grandfather’s name to make up

for the loss of the company this time.

“If the project succeeds, then we will share the profits together. However, if it fails, I will fill in the loophole of the funds myself, and you won’t lose anything.

“If that’s the case, you still want to stop me?”

The people on Mark’s side quieted down.

However, Anaya’s men got anxious. “Ms. Dutt, it’s a big deal to sell all the assets. Why don’t you discuss it with Mr. Dutt?” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Anaya affirmed, “It’s fine. This project will work.”

“Boast without shame!” Jason sneered.

Anaya ignored Jason’s ridicule and stood up. “Let’s bring the

meeting to a close. I will not let go of the project about East Boston. There is no need to persuade me anymore.”

After Anaya finished speaking, she left in large strides.

When Anaya walked past Jason, he said in a low voice, “What a

silly girl! If you really take this piece of land, you’ll regret it.”

Jason was obviously saying this for Anaya to hear.

Anaya glanced at Jason, but she did not say anything. Instead,

she directly walked out of the conference room.

Anaya thought, facts speak louder than words. As long as I can withstand the pressure of these old bastards and take the

project, we will just wait and see.
