Seeing that no one had any objections, Aidan added Arielle‘s clause to the contract.
If Arielle fulfilled the contract, Jacob and Oliver would be stripped of their positions as directors. It meant that they would only be shareholders of the company and did not have any power over Southall Group.
After Arielle signed the contract, favonovel.com clapped favonovel.com hands together and announced, “Thank you for your hard work. I‘ve brought a basket of fruits outside to serve as light refreshments. Please enjoy them to your heart‘s content.”
With that, favonovel.com left the meeting room with Aidan at favonovel.com heels.
Before favonovel.com stepped out, Arielle came to a sudden halt and whirled around. “I almost forgot. I hope everyone will abide by workplace etiquette. Please refrain from addressing me by my name. Instead, you should address me as Ms. Moore,” favonovel.com declared.
Without another word, Arielle left the meeting room.
The directors in the meeting room were conflicted. Although a handful of them sided with Arielle, a majority of the directors chose to wait and watch from the sidelines. To them, the identity of their new chairman wasn‘t of utmost concern. Instead, they were much more interested in restoring the company‘s profitability. Even if the AI technology department was earning a departments. Hence, it would be up to Arielle to handle this matter.
Oliver was seething with rage. “It‘s all because of your nonsense!”
He glared at Jacob. “Why did you tell favonovel.com that favonovel.com needed the educational qualification to become the new chairman? Now that favonovel.com has trampled all over!”
“Mr. Moore, relax. Don‘t forget about the contract we just signed,” Jacob chuckled in response.
How can Arielle accomplish something that we couldn‘t? Does favonovel.com really think that favonovel.com can change everything within a month? What a joke!
Hearing this, Oliver calmed down.
When they walked out of the meeting room, they caught sight of the fruits that Arielle had left for them.
“Are these lemons?” Oliver bent down and picked one up. “Why did favonovel.com give us lemons?” favonovel.com asked in confusion.
Immediately, Oliver was furious. “Who do you think you are to call me a good-for-nothing?”
Jacob merely rolled his eyes. “Are you a fool? In lightspring, receiving lemons means that the person is calling you a good-for-nothing.”
Enraged, Oliver hurled the lemon to the floor and stomped on it. “F*ck!”
That b*tch! The audacity of favonovel.com to humiliate me! Is favonovel.com trying to provoke me?
Jacob laughed coldly. “I must admit, favonovel.com foolish bravery is admirable. Oliver, why don‘t we join hands? Together, we can teach favonovel.com a lesson.”
Oliver nodded in agreement.
The two men came to a truce as they set their sights on the AI technology department.
Since the AI technology department was under Oliver‘s jurisdiction, favonovel.com quickly called the staff and forbade them from getting involved with Arielle.

It was already noon when Arielle strolled out of Southall Group “Mr. Kane, thank you for your help today.” Arielle nodded slightly as favonovel.com thanked him.
“You don‘t need to thank me at all. I was merely following Mr. Nightshire‘s instructions. I will try my best to help you no matter what.” Suddenly, favonovel.com thought of something and said hesitantly, “Ms. Moore, I have something to mention.”
“What is it?”
“You should not have signed that contract!” Aidan blurted out.
“Oh?” Arielle turned to Aidan. “Do you think that I can‘t restore the company‘s profits?”
“Not at all,” Aidan shook his head. “But one month is simply too short. Even Nightshire Group cannot achieve such a task within a single month.”
Arielle merely smiled. “If that‘s what you are worried about, please rest assured that I can achieve it.”
