Chapter 445

They had paid little attention to Ophelia in the past two years because, when they previously contacted her, they were asked not to disturb her. They were afraid of Ophelia's disapproval, so they retreated, suppressing their desire to get closer. But little did they know, that was not Ophelia's intention at all. They were manipulated and deceived from the beginning!

The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. That person was either Draven or Isabelle. Scheming for Ophelia's inheritance? Hmph, they must be dreaming! After scolding them, I returned to the previous topic.

I didn't know whom Ms. Greene married, whether that person treated her well or bullied her. The ministers were old, and Ink Pharmaceuticals didn't need to keep up with the latest trends, so they rarely went online and never read entertainment news. Therefore, even though Ophelia's husband's identity was no longer a secret, they still didn't know.

Nathan pondered, “I will have someone investigate the situation.” From the assistant and bodyguards, it could be inferred that Ophelia's husband's background was not simple. And Graham always guarded Ophelia, indicating that his employer highly valued her…

Chapter 445

After this discussion, several ministers deliberated on company matters for over ten minutes before leaving the lounge. At that moment, the assistant who had reported earlier arrived again.

"How are things now?" Nathan asked.

The assistant looked slightly anxious and said, "Mr. Pineda's promoted employees—almost two-thirds of them—have resigned! Mr. Calderon, what should we do?"

"Then let them resign!" Nathan said.

The other ministers remained concerned; Ophelia hadn't mentioned any contingency plans. If they couldn't find replacements, the situation would be very bad.

“We should trust Ms. Greene this time,” Nathan said. “I believe Ms. Greene has a determined mindset, with the charisma of the chairman in her prime. She must not be acting on impulse.”

“Even if Ms. Greene made a mistake, don't we still have us? With us here, would Ink Pharmaceuticals really have any trouble?”

The rest of the ministers were stunned, then they laughed in relief.

“Yes, we are here too! We promised the chairman to protect Ink Pharmaceuticals for Ms. Greene, and we will definitely deliver an intact company to her. We will not let that treacherous Draven succeed!”

Sunset Vista.

“Honey, I’m back!”

Ophelia rushed in, arriving just in the nick of time, and saw Winford. Unable to stop in time, she fell into his arms.

She looked up, smiling brightly and tenderly, “How about that? I came back on time, right?”

Winford embraced her, his voice cold and solemn, “You’re two minutes late.”

Ophelia said without thinking, “It’s impossible!” She immediately grabbed his wrist and checked his watch. But she was, in fact, two minutes late!

Ophelia: “?”

No, she just looked at the door; the time was right! It had only been a few seconds; how did it become two minutes already?! She immediately checked her phone, instantly relieved.

“Honey, your watch was broken; the time was completely inaccurate!”

Winford, expressionless, took her phone directly, “Your phone is broken; the time is not accurate.”

Without waiting for her response, he picked her up and headed upstairs. “Two minutes, Lia, how do you think I should punish you?”
