After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 383

“I agree with Hannah’s handling of this affair.” An executive director hurriedly said, “When you do something wrong, you should be punished. There is no need to worry too much about the causes and effects of dealing with this. Besides, This time the company did suffer a great loss because of him!”

“He should have expected his fate once he committed a crime like this. He doesn’t deserve our sympathy anyway.”

The room was in an uproar again but Hannah just let them chirp for a while and didn’t interrupt.

Intentionally or not, she had a few glances at Simon Moss who didn’t join others in denouncing Wayne and had a visibly embarrassed countenance.

Miguel also noticed his embarrassment. He was excited at the thought of how aggressive Simon had been toward Hannah just now. So he cleared his throat and said, “You’ve been criticizing Hannah just now and saying that the vice-president must be Wayne or an external employee. I wonder if you still hold on to that idea?”

Simon blushed when Miguel said it, although he was an experienced person in his late fifties.

“I didn’t expect he would do such a stupid thing. After all, he’s a member of the Cooper family, so I thought he wouldn’t be so foolish.” Simon tried to rescue himself.

“But you just said he’s going to do better than Hannah does. Well, it seems your experience isn’t enough.”

Simon’s face turned redder because of what Miguel said. But he couldn’t refute it at all because what he had done was too humiliating.

Miguel was in a really good mood and asked, “You didn’t answer my question. Hannah was set up, and Wayne stole our business secrets, did you still think it was her fault? Was she not careful enough? Was she not doing a good job keeping the trade secrets? I bet no one in the room can perfectly accomplish it, either. Since Hannah can make the plan so perfect, she has shown her capacities.”

Simon said nothing for he knew he would contradict himself no matter what he wanted to say. So he just simply tolerated Miguel’s questioning.

“Now I announce Hannah’s official appointment as the vice-president of Cooper Group, and she is no longer in charge on an interim basis. As of today, an official announcement will be released in three days.” Miguel said powerfully.

The executive of the general affairs department hurriedly said with respect, “Yes, Mr. Cooper. I’ll immediately draw up the document of this appointment.”

Now Miguel also acted with a lot of power since he felt that his daughter was so good that he couldn’t keep a low profile.

“The meeting will be over if no one has an opinion. Hannah, come to my office.” Said he.

“OK.” Hannah nodded.

After Miguel walked out of the conference room, others successively left there.

Someone was saying, “Simon, did you act on impulse just now? We all complained about not winning the project, but in fact, we know Hannah is very capable. So we think this project must have failed because someone played a dirty trick! But you leave no room for yourself. Now the truth has come out. So awkward!”

In fact, she wouldn’t be so capable if she hadn’t lived a more decade in her last life, which made her recognize reality and led to her strong personality.

“Secondly, I want to ask you to sue Sawyer Group to get our plan back.” Miguel suddenly turned serious and said, “It’s a pity to fail this project. Can we grab back the initiative of the plan again?”

Hannah also became earnest, “Dad, I’m not gonna lie to you. Actually, this time our company’s failure is part of my plan.”

Miguel changed his countenance visibly.

“Of cause, at first I didn’t expect Wayne would release the trade secrets and didn’t want to lose the bid intentionally. But then I found Wayne tried doing something against our company so I just went along with him. Dad, we can’t keep Wayne anymore, cause he’ll never be our people, only our enemy. We’d better get rid of him before he set us up.”

Miguel paused for a second but didn’t disapprove of her.

“We must get rid of Wayne, and it would be better if we could take Charles out, too. So I asked someone to keep an eye on Charles and tried finding his evidence of the crime. Unfortunately, He was too intelligent. He asked his assistant, Sandra Stein, to show up on all the occasions when Wayne appeared to get in touch with Charles. I thought Wayne must be too stupid to realize that he had left evidence. And I also thought about threatening Wayne with the evidence I had got to force him to give Charles out. But Charles was so tricky that Wayne might make him feel something was wrong. So I took a big chance. If I wasn’t lucky enough, Wayne would be the only one getting arrested. At least we’ve fought down one of our enemies.”

“Right. I can understand the reason why you lost the project intentionally. Because you wanted to get rid of Wayne and Charles.” Miguel said to clear his position, “But now the most important thing is whether we can grab the project back or not.”

After all, for a businessman, especially a successful one, without violating his principles and conscience and breaking the law, the most important thing was always his benefits.
