Chapter 866
“I don’t think you all understand the situation yet,” Michael said smugly. “Right now, our Pharmaceutical Division’s products are blowing up again–this time, even bigger than before!”
Tiana nodded in agreement. “That’s right. The latest sales reports for Michael’s three products just came in. In just one week, revenue exceeded 100 million dollars. That’s why, as per our agreement, I awarded him the CEO position.”
She glanced at Lauren and added, “So, this isn’t unfair to you. He truly outperformed your products.”
Several department heads gasped when they heard the amount, their faces filled with disbelief as they turned to Michael.
“Mr. Rhodes, you actually pulled off a record-breaking achievement in the Pharmaceutical Division?”
“With 100 million in a week… that’s at least 400 million a month! Goodness, the division’s success is reaching levels comparable to the most profitable companies in the world!”
“Looking at these numbers, it’s hard to argue. Ms. Rhodes really did lose fair and square. Mr. Rhodes is a powerhouse–he’s like a walking money-making machine!”
Hearing the murmurs of astonishment around the room, Michael could barely contain his excitement. For so long, he had been nothing but a joke.
Tiana stripped him of his authority, Andrew crushed him at every turn, and he was almost completely ruined. Then, the humiliating scandal–his infamous video—had turned him into a global laughingstock.
But now, the tables had turned, and his suffering had finally paid off.
Michael sneered, “Andrew, I told you–you’d never beat me. So, do you admit defeat now?”
With a smug grin, he turned to Andrew, eyes gleaming with arrogance.
Andrew simply shook his head and let out a short laugh. “Are you sure you’re the one who made that 100 million dollars in a week happen?”
Michael’s smile faltered for a second before he scoffed. “Oh, you don’t believe it? Fine. I’ll slap you in the face with hard facts, then.”
With a wave of his hand, his secretary, Cindy–dressed in an eye-catching, figure-hugging dress–stepped forward and distributed the reports. The documents clearly displayed the latest sales statistics for Rhodes Corporation’s Pharmaceutical Division.
“That’s right. The numbers don’t lie–sales exceeded 100 million dollars in just one week!”
“Who would’ve thought? Our products went from the brink of failure to an absolute sensation!”
“If we keep growing at this pace, Rhodes Corporation will easily surpass Wealthroller Investments.”
“At this rate, even Marvin might lose his spot as the wealthiest man. Soon enough, the Rhodes family will be sitting at the top!”
After reviewing the reports, the entire room looked at Michael with newfound admiration. The numbers were printed in black and white–there was no denying them.
Michael grinned triumphantly. “Well, Andrew? Do you have anything to say now? Do you see what real money-making looks like? You and Lauren launched your own products too, didn’t you?
“You even wasted 20 million to hire some nun for marketing. But in the end, it was a joke. Nothing but a complete failure!”
Michael’s face was full of mockery and disdain.
Tiana gave Andrew a half-smile. “Mr. Lloyd, if you have nothing else to add, I think we can wrap up this meeting.”
Andrew raised a hand. “Hold on.”
Tiana’s eyes flashed coldly as she let out a sharp breath. “What now, Andrew? You’re a smart man–I suggest you don’t push me.”
Andrew smiled, but there was something menacing beneath it. “That’s funny, Mrs. Rhodes. I was just about to say the same thing to you–don’t push me.”
He slowly stood up, and the air in the room tensed as everyone’s eyes locked onto him.
Without even glancing at it, Andrew grabbed the report in front of him and tore it to shreds.
