A Divorce Make Me Rich

“No, after Moore was injured, the company was in a state without a backbone. Now that I’ve directly laid him off, I have to go back and calm everyone down.”

If she kept dragging this out, how was she going to explain it to the employees and shareholders?

“Well then, let’s accompany you back to Bostrain first. We’ll go to the prairie after everything is taken care of,” Anthony conceded. As the CEO, he naturally understood that what she said was right.

“Yay! We’re going to Bostrain!” Alistair exclaimed excitedly.

Maybe it was because Mavis spent five years in that city; every time it was mentioned, Alistair added a special filter of longing for this place.

The next day, the family of three boarded a private plane but there was no sign of Moore.

“Where’s Moore?” Mavis asked while taking out milk from her bag and handing it over to Alistair.

Anthony didn’t even raise an eyebrow. “He took another plane.”

He didn’t want to sit on the same plane as that guy.

Mavis was speechless.

Two private planes? The Callahan family really had deep pockets!

Alistair drank his milk and asked eagerly, “Mommy, is there anything fun in Bostrain?”

“There’s the ocean here! You can play with water and sand,” Mavis said indulgently with love in her eyes.

“Yay!” Alistair added more excitement into his heart again.

Soon enough they arrived in Bostrain.

“We’re here? Mommy,” Alistair was forcefully awakened from his slumber, his sweet voice melting people’s hearts.

Mavis nodded, “Yes.”

A female employee came to pick them up.

“Hello Miss Parker. I’m Lorelai Gamble, a recent addition to the administration, and I am from Crana.” Lorelai smiled professionally dressed in business attire with high ponytail making people involuntarily believe in her ability.

“Hello.”

The hiring process in the company was entirely overseen by Moore, only middle to upper management levels received her personal attention, so Lorelai’s unfamiliar face had caught her off guard.

After getting into the car, Lorelai immediately asked, “Miss Parker, should we head straight for your company?”

“No, send them both to my residence in the capital first. I’ll head to the company later,” Mavis said as she affectionately patted the little one’s head.

Anthony glanced at her once before saying firmly, “No need for that. Let’s all go together.”

In case something happened he can help too so others won’t bully his woman.

His thoughts were not hidden from Mavis’ eyes though.

“Don’t worry, even though I’ve entrusted the company to Moore, I haven’t completely handed over the reins. I personally handle many things and besides, those years were when I was personally involved. Most importantly, Alistair is tired,” Mavis reassured Anthony.

Seeing that she had said this much, Anthony no longer insisted but couldn’t help feeling guilty and heartbroken at the thought of Mavis handling everything on her own for the past five years.

Several minutes passed.

“Miss Parker, we have arrived at your home,” the driver announced.

The group got out of the car and Mavis looked up at the building as memories flooded back to her.

“Wow! Mommy’s house in Bostrain is so big!” Alistair exclaimed with wide eyes as he looked around like a curious cat.

Mavis smiled helplessly; his acting skills were a bit exaggerated. Although it was big compared to ordinary houses, it couldn’t compare to Callahan Residence’s grandeur and luxury.

“Hurry up inside. We’ll be staying here for a few days so there’s plenty of time for you to play,” she took Alistair’s hand and walked inside by herself.

Lorelai watched as the driver took care of their luggage before running after them. “Miss Parker, I only received news this morning that you were coming back so I didn’t have time to contact a maid service to clean your residence…”

Her words reminded Mavis about something important. “Um… I didn’t hire another maid after our previous one quit because she had grandchildren.”

“That’s okay,” Anthony replied calmly.

Lorelai quickly offered her services, “Do you need me to contact someone now?”

“No need.” Without waiting for Mavis’ response, Anthony refused immediately since he preferred not being disturbed while enjoying some quiet family time together for a few days.

Since he declined Lorelai’s offer himself already, Mavis didn’t say anything more either because they would only be staying two days anyway.

After settling father and son in comfortably, Mavis went off to work.

“Daddy, I really love it here.” Alistair rolled around on the sofa happily.

Anthony wandered around aimlessly, “Is this place better than Callahan Residence?”

To be honest, the two places weren’t even comparable.

Alistair proudly raised his little head, “Of course, it’s where mommy used live. Anywhere mommy lives feels like home, and that makes it better than anywhere else.”

Anthony gave him an indifferent smile without saying anything more.

This place wasn’t far from Mavis’ workplace, and soon enough, she arrived downstairs with Lorelai who worked in administration.

“It’s already ten o’clock, and the shareholders are waiting in the conference room,” Lorelai said, looking at her phone for the time reminder.

Mavis nodded. “Let’s go straight to the conference room.”

There were ten shareholders sitting in the conference room.

“Hello everyone, it’s been a while,” Mavis said as she entered with an inexplicable aura of confidence.

“Miss Parker, we didn’t expect you to come back so suddenly,” all of the directors greeted her warmly.

Mavis glanced at them without acknowledging their greetings. “The company is doing well thanks to everyone’s efforts. However, I have a few things to announce this time I’m back. The first thing we need to address is Mr. Ulsens’ dismissal.”

The shareholders looked puzzled. “Isn’t Mr. Ulsens your most trusted person?”

“Yes, and he was injured recently too – is that why you’re firing him?”

“If that were true, it would be inhumane,” they discussed among themselves trying to find out what was going on.

Mavis knew they weren’t really concerned about Moore but wanted an opportunity to undermine her morale instead.

“That isn’t why. Mr. Ulsens has lost interest in our company and we don’t keep idle people around here.” Mavis’ words carried a hidden meaning as she spoke sternly about this matter.

“But he has worked tirelessly for our company. Are you sure he can handle being fired?” one shareholder asked worriedly.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“He knows about this already. No need for any further concern on your part.”

In fact, Mavis could have revealed everything that Moore had done wrong but decided not to tarnish his reputation completely just yet.

“What else do you want us to know?” another shareholder asked curiously.

“Our development in Suham, Crana has reached its peak, and now we must explore new markets. I’ve decided that our focus will be on developing Suham market more intensively.”

“This city has developed economically better than any other city within Crana. If we can enter into this market, it will greatly benefit our future growth prospects,” one shareholder added optimistically.

“Yes, but getting into such a competitive market won’t be easy,” another added cautiously.

The shareholders supported Mavis’ decision since they were all businessmen who knew how important making money was. However, the real point came when Mavis said, “I am confident enough that my plan will work out perfectly fine. So, I intend on moving our headquarters there within three months. Of course, you don’t have anything worry about because it’ll continue operating as usual.”

“Relocating? The market hasn’t even been developed yet, and you’re already thinking about relocating?”

“This is too childish! Miss Parker, your decision is too idealistic. If Mr. Ulsens were sitting here, he would never make such a risky move!”

“Yes, you should learn more from Mr. Ulsens.”

The shareholders deeply doubted her ability. Their questioning eyes and tone seemed to suggest that she fired Moore to seize power.
