Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1537

If he refused to step down, what could those old fossils on the board possibly do to him?

"Mr. Sherwin."

The secretary knocked on the door and approached with trembling hands, clutching a stack of contracts. "Two more companies just canceled their partnerships with us. Over the past few days, we've lost two-thirds of our clients."

At this rate, the company's cash flow wouldn't last much longer.

"Get the manager of Helios Trust Bank on the phone," Malcolm ordered with a dark expression after scanning the documents.

No matter what, he had spent decades clawing his way up in Borealia.

A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. He refused to believe he couldn't survive this crisis.

"Hello."

A voice came through the receiver. "May I ask who is..."

"Hello, this is the CEO of Sherwin Group," Malcolm said, pasting on a fawning smile. "We had dinner together a while back, do you remember—"

Beep, beep, beep...

Before he could finish, the other party hung up.

Damn it!

Refusing to give up, Malcolm tried calling the heads of several other banks.

Without exception.

The moment they heard his name, every single one of them either hung up or outright rejected him.

By the end, no one was even picking up his calls anymore.

Crash—

Furious, Malcolm swept everything off his desk onto the floor.

If he ever caught the person spreading those rumors, he'd make them pay dearly.

Just as he was having a total meltdown.

The secretary knocked on the door again, shivering as he spoke, "Mr. Sherwin, Ms. Payne and Mr. Schwartz are here."

"I'm not seeing anyone!"

Assuming it was more reporters digging for gossip, Malcolm snapped in exasperation before suddenly pausing. "Wait, did you say Ms. Payne and Mr. Schwartz?"

"Yes."

The secretary nodded, lowering his voice further. "The former young lady of the house, and Mr. Shanley Schwartz, CEO of Schwartz Group."

Having worked at the company for years, the secretary naturally knew about Juniper's history with the Sherwin family.

When the old chairman was still alive, he would frequently bring young Ms. Juniper to the office.
