No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1159

1159 /1159

Noelle wondered if the investor's words reflected how the public saw her. She'd assumed that after the incident at the dinner party, many opinions about her would have changed.

Beside her, Jacob quickly chimed in, "That's what I think too, but Mr. Greene is still young and easily bewitched. He'll regret it one day."

"Exactly. What real abilities could a woman possibly have? They'll never get ahead without men, and Mr. Greene just spoils that woman too much."

Hearing this, Noelle crossed her arms and shot back, "Judging from how much you look down on women, weren't you born of one?"

The investor immediately flushed with anger. Pointing at Noelle, he snapped, "What kind of attitude is that!"

Jacob turned to glare at her as well. "What's going on with your department? Who gave you the right to talk to an investor like that?"

"Even if Maple Enterprise needs investment, we don't need it from people who don't respect the company. You'll regret your lack of vision one day."

The future of Maple Enterprise would far surpass its current form.

Jacob pointed at her and furiously snapped, "Shut up! Keep talking like that, and I'll have you thrown out!"

Just then, Robin returned.

Robin's eyes lit up, and he rushed over. "You came just in time, Mr. Frost. This woman spoke recklessly and offended our investors. I want her to be fired at once!"

Robin looked toward Noelle and asked, "Are you talking about her?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Noelle turned to Robin and helplessly explained, "This investor questioned the quality of Maple Enterprise's products and was doubtful about the company's future. He even claimed that the chief technical engineer got her position by pulling strings and wasn't capable.

"I just felt we might not need to collaborate with such an investor."

Robin nodded. "You make a good point, Ms. Liddell."

The investor's arrogance instantly deflated. He turned to Robin and hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant. I raised a concern, that's all. I do believe in Maple Enterprise's potential, and I'm genuinely interested in working with your company."
