The Heart Left Behind (Cole and Yvonne) novel Chapter 370

News of the Joplin family intending to sell the company spread quickly, drawing quite a crowd of onlookers.

Fabian rushed over to Joplin Group the moment he got the news.

With Chris being taken away by Grandma, Joplin Group couldn't afford to be leaderless. Hence, Grandma had me take charge for the time being.

The more I looked at the financial records that Murphy had brought in, the more frustrated I got.

"How did he manage to reduce the company to this state in less than two months? Did he not follow through with any of the projects I left behind?" I asked.

I read the reports that Tanya had prepared. It wasn't that he didn't follow through with those projects, but he didn't even look at them. He even halted every deal I had negotiated before I left.

"Have the developers been in touch?" I asked.

Murphy looked at Tanya, who had been nervously standing by the whole time. She said, "No. Every time someone came to ask for updates, Mr. Chris would get me to tell them that he wasn't around."

Tanya hesitated before saying cautiously, "I have a recording of Mr. Chris discussing his intent to sell the company. Do you think you need it?"

She was just asking in a tentative manner.

I looked up immediately. "Hand it over."

A recording of him trying to sell the company? Wouldn't that make it much easier for me to deal with him?

From the contents of the recording, it seemed like Chris had been in contact with that man for a long time.

The only thing that was not finalized was the price. If I hadn't arrived with Grandma when I did, Joplin Group might already have changed hands.

I put the phone into my pocket and instructed Murphy, "Get her a new phone."

"If you're willing, you can sign a contract with Murphy right now," I said.

Murphy took out a contract from a folder behind him. "If you sign this, you'll officially be a part of The Xavier Company."

Tanya's hand was trembling as she held the document. "I'll sign. Of course, I'll sign."

She had heard that The Xavier Company's benefits were twice as good as those at Joplin Group.

When she signed, I instructed Murphy, "Let everyone here know that The Xavier Company will warmly welcome anyone who wants to join us.
