Chapter 443

“Ms. Greene, we apologize to you…” Nathan sighed, apologizing as he spoke, and even stood to bow to Ophelia. Ophelia was startled and quickly supported him, saying, “You are all my elders; there is no need for this!”

“No, what we did was betray the chairman’s trust,” Dalton said. Seeing their loving and guilty expressions, Ophelia couldn’t help but wonder. It seemed the ministers still cared about her. So why didn’t they approach her when she became an adult and could inherit the company? Why, despite Isabelle’s involvement in the company for so long, had they not made any response?

She wondered this and then tentatively asked. Nathan and the others were shocked and didn’t want to listen.

“How could there be no contact with Ms. Greene? When you were sixteen, we contacted you, made more than one phone call, and wanted you to come to the company to learn and gain hands-on experience for the future.”

But Ophelia absolutely refused to answer the phone, and in the end, it was her family who answered and told them not to call again, and also not to pay any attention to Ophelia, let alone disturb her life. She didn’t want any company.

Later, when Ophelia turned eighteen and was eligible to inherit the company, they also got in touch. This time, Ophelia sent a very decisive message stating that the company’s grandfather had already decided to give it to Isabelle, and she didn’t want it anymore. She asked them not to bother her again.

It was also because of her attitude that the ministers, who were supposed to dismiss Isabelle from the company, remained silent. Ophelia herself had already conceded to Isabelle; what else was there to talk about?

Upon hearing this, Ophelia was more astonished than they were. In an instant, her face darkened, and her gaze turned icy.

“I did not receive any of your calls, nor did I reply to any of your messages.”

The ministers’ faces changed instantly. So, did this mean they had all been played by someone? They realized they had been manipulated, almost letting an adopted daughter take over the company. They felt extremely ashamed and furious!

Ophelia remained calm and asked, “Which number did you use to reach out to me when you first contacted me?”

Immediately, a minister produced it, and when Ophelia looked at it, as expected, the number was not hers at all! Whose was it? Well, you could tell who benefited most by looking at it! It was nothing but Isabelle or Draven!

Nathan was shocked and angry, “Draven—” Upon hearing this name, others were also angry and disappointed.

Harriet was no fool either. Back then, she chose Draven to entrust the company to because, at that time, Draven was completely trustworthy. He was absolutely loyal to Harriet and very capable in handling tasks, which is why he was able to defeat Nathan and take on the position of general manager.

However, Harriet died, many years passed, and things changed. After being the owner of the company for so many years, Draven’s heart had changed.

“Ms. Greene, you fired Draven, and we agree with that, but there is one thing. Before his dismissal, Draven wasn’t just intimidating people; a significant portion of the company was under his influence, as he personally trained them. They only followed Draven’s orders.”

“Currently, Draven was fired…”
