Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 562

Noah felt more confident after seeing how I dealt with Nelson's stubbornness. It was as if I had set an example for him.

He gazed sternly at Nelson and declared, "Mr. Nelson, you’re disrupting my work. I was sent here to work, not to be commanded by one person. Since you have retired, you no longer have decision-making authority."

Noah finally found his rhythm. He stopped smiling and looked calm and serious.

"If you have reasonable suggestions, I welcome them. But it's unacceptable for you to interfere with the work this way."

I realized that everyone could shine once they found their stride. Noah's eloquence was impressive.

"As a senior, you should know how to help those below you. Mr. Nelson, the way you’re acting is against the law and hurting the economy.

Under my influence, Noah rebuked Nelson's actions.

"I need to contact the higher-ups since I bear this responsibility. If you want to get in the way, I will ask my bosses what they think. Should decisions about everyday work be made based on your instructions or mine?

"If the higher-ups say it's your decision, then I will resign on the spot." His voice was unquestionable.

After saying that, he dialed the phone. I knew that he was calling Arthur.

If Noah told Arthur what was going on, he would give a simple answer. I had faith in Arthur's firm authority.

I watched Nelson's furious expression. It seemed like he couldn't believe what was happening. Perhaps he was used to having everything go his way, and now someone was openly challenging him.

Noah activated the speakerphone and placed the phone on the conference table as soon as Arthur answered.

Then he reported the current work progress, discussed the project, and emphasized Nelson's presence in the meeting room.

Nelson started claiming that Noah had performed poorly and should not have entrusted Bourdamun's project to an external company.

"The qualifications are unsuitable for such a project because Bourdamun's new district will be developed into a new economic landmark for Orlinda. So, this project is of utmost importance. It is not child's play, and the superiors have approved it."

His words reverberated strongly through the room, and I let out a sigh of relief. Nelson could not stop the contract from being signed, no matter what he did.

I exchanged a glance with Ryan, joy flashing in our eyes.

"If Nelson dares to get in the way of the meetings again, the local public safety agency can take control of it.

“I will report it to my superiors. I have received instructions from the higher-ups, and the carefully designed blueprint will be submitted for approval."

Everyone showed relieved smiles.

Nelson turned pale, but he did not expect what happened next to be worse.
