54: Chapter 54 You’re Surrendering to the Enemy_1

54 -54 You’re Surrendering to the Enemy_1

“Did she really say that?”

Carson Flores looked surprised.

Had this woman gone crazy?

If it’s a success, there’s nothing good happening; if it fails, is she going to shoulder the blame alone?

Jax Gross sighed and said, “Yeah, she made the declaration in front of all the shareholders.

Now it’s all over the company.”

Carson Flores frowned, “Who spread it?”

Jax Gross shook his head, “I don’t know about that; anyway, pretty much everyone knows now.”

Carson Flores smiled and asked, “What do you think about this matter?”

Jax Gross thought for a moment and said, “Martin Baker has always been at loggerheads with Ms.

Miller, that’s no secret in the company.

I think this acquisition won’t go that smoothly.”

Carson Flores let out a sigh, “See, even ordinary employees like us can predict this, why can’t she?

”

Jax Gross smiled and replied, “Maybe Ms.

Miller has her own way of handling things.

After all, such matters are like a battle of wits; everyone has their ace up their sleeve.

The outcome is only known at the end.”

Carson Flores chuckled, “Now that you mention it, that sounds right.

Who do you think runs the company better, Ms.

Miller or Martin Baker?”

Jax Gross laughed, “Brother Carson, you’d make the best team leader.

Since you’re acquainted with Ms.

Miller and have connections, it goes without saying, I naturally hope it’s Ms.

Miller.”

Carson Flores laughed, “You are quite frank.”

Jax Gross chuckled, “Actually, Ms.

Miller is really not bad, she seems very driven and cares about the entry-level staff.

People like Martin Baker, maybe they’ve been leaders for too long, accustomed to staying aloof.

From this perspective, I really hope Ms.

Miller can lead the company forward.”

After Jax Gross left, Carson Flores leaned back in his chair, pondering whether to persuade Shirley Miller.

In just half a day, the incident from the shareholder’s meeting had spread throughout the company.

To say that nobody was fanning the flames behind the scenes was absolutely impossible.

Apart from Martin Baker, there was no second suspect.

He wanted to sway internal company opinion first.

Then, when Shirley Miller failed, it would be easy for him to dethrone her.

After thinking for a while, Carson Flores decided to let it be.

Shirley Miller was so clever; she couldn’t be unaware of what she was doing.

Perhaps she had a card up her sleeve, or she was ready to go down with the ship.

She had her reasons, and it was unnecessary for him to meddle.

After all, he wasn’t really her husband.

What was their relationship now, not even friends; at best some kind of cooperating partner?

Let her be.

A woman carrying such a heavy burden must feel very hard.

Even if she failed and was ousted, it wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing.

After work, Carson Flores drove to the Gilliam family home, as usual, to perform acupuncture for the old master.

After finishing the acupuncture and coming downstairs, Emma White kindly offered Carson Flores some water, “You must be exhausted, Carson.

Dinner time is upon us, you should stay and eat.”

Carson Flores declined politely, “Auntie, maybe next time. freewebnøvel.coɱ

I still have some things to take care of.”

Emma White chided, “Last week on the camping trip, you encountered a pack of wolves.

If it weren’t for you, Samantha could have lost her life.

You have no idea how scared I was when I heard about it.

Today, you must stay for dinner so I can thank you properly.”

Carson Flores sought help from Samantha Tate, but Samantha Tate said cheerily, “Work’s over, what could you have to do?

Eat first and then go.”

Carson Flores was speechless.

He needed help, not hindrance.

A total betrayal!

With things having come to this, Carson Flores could only agree, “Alright, auntie, I’ll join you then.”

Emma White, grinning with delight, scolded, “You child, why are you being so formal?

In the future, just treat this place like your own home, come over whenever you have time, and I’ll make you something tasty.”

Emma White went to the kitchen to cook, and Carson Flores turned and stared at Samantha Tate without saying a word.

Samantha Tate, feeling a bit embarrassed by his gaze, naturally sat down beside Carson Flores and nudged his arm jokingly, “Come on, it’s just expressing gratitude.

Besides, you have to eat, so you might as well eat here and then leave.”

Carson Flores asked, “How does your mom know about the wolves?

Did you tell her?”

Samantha Tate shook her head, “Ruby Gross told her family, and her mom told mine.

Because of that, I got an earful for not telling them about such a big incident.”

Carson Flores understood, “Does your dad also know?”

Samantha Tate leaned in closer with a teasing smile, “Are you wondering if my dad is still against you and me being together?”

Carson Flores, having had his thoughts read, felt a bit embarrassed and pushed Samantha away slightly by the head, “Speak up, why are you leaning so close?”

Samantha Tate chuckled, “Got it right, didn’t I?

Feeling guilty, ha ha!”

In reality, Carson Flores’ question was just a casual one, not because he wanted to pursue anything with Samantha Tate.

But indeed, that had been his subconscious thought.

“Guilty about what?

You believe I’ll tell the truth to auntie right now?”

Samantha Tate grabbed Carson Flores’ arm, threatening in a low voice, “You wouldn’t dare!

If you do, I’ll say you peeked at my chest—twice, and also, you held me in your sleep…”

Carson Flores was about to respond when he heard noises from the entrance.

Adan Gilliam walked in, holding several invitations in his hand.

Seeing Carson Flores, Adan Gilliam paused, his expression a mix of emotions, “Carson, you’re here.”

Carson Flores smiled and said, “Yes, I’ve just finished the acupuncture for the old master.

He’s recovering quite well.

We can reduce the frequency of the acupuncture treatments now—to once a week.”

Samantha Tate pouted and diverted the topic, “Dad, what are you holding there?”

Adan Gilliam lifted the invitations, a light of excitement in his eyes, “Leonard Reid is in Polgel.

He’s hosting a dinner party and has sent us invitations.

We will all go together.”

Samantha Tate asked in surprise, “Leonard Reid?

The Real Estate King from Seashore City?”

Adan Gilliam nodded, “Yes, that’s him.”

Samantha Tate blinked and suddenly took Carson Flores’ arm, “Can Carson come with us?”
