Chapter 285 Pinnacle Group
Olivia was about to burst into flames as her eyes darted back and forth angrily from Mason before saying with disdain, “You are just an illegitimate child of a mistress. When did you have the right to speak here?”
Once she was done provoking him, she raised her head and continued, “Do you know what kind of person Lisa is? How can we rush to cooperate with her? It will only drag Pinnacle Group down if she has a tainted reputation!”
Mason’s eyes darkened when he heard this. Although he knew that Olivia would continue to object, he still calmly said, “President Gardner, if we don’t fight for Lisa, she would definitely go and work with the Gardner Corporation. By then, it will definitely be a loss for us.”
As soon as he was done speaking, Olivia went directly in front of him and slapped him across the face mercilessly.
The slap was so hard that the sound echoed in the office, and a red mark immediately appeared on his face.
“I said, this is no place for you to speak!”
At this point, her irrationality was getting out of hand for the shareholders to tolerate. After all, Olivia was of Gardner descent; she wasn’t a Schumacher. If they let Lisa slip past them this time, the Gardner Corporation would greatly benefit from it. Instead, Olivia’s actions would make them suffer!
The Pinnacle Group had started out as an apparel company, unlike Gardner Corporation, which mainly engaged in network technology.
“Olivia, as a Gardner, you must still be prioritizing the Gardners! I agree with Mason on Lisa’s case.”
“Exactly! Lisa’s collaboration with Gardner Corporation for Ann had been a success. If she continues working with them, our Pinnacle Group will suffer.”
“I agree!”
As the commotion arose, Mason lowered his head with a slight smile on his face. Sure enough, he knew that as long as he mentioned Gardner Corporation and Olivia, the old geezers would feel uneasy.
Although he was a little upset after being slapped, it was not uncommon for him to get injured during his fights back in the days when he was working underground. This was nothing he couldn’t bear.
As Olivia listened to what the shareholders were saying, her cheeks flushed with anger, and she was at a loss for words for a while.
“Y-you…” She fumed as she stood up and looked at the people standing up for Mason and supporting Nicole.
When Mason saw that Olivia had become increasingly irritable, his smile curved up even more as he raised his head, the handprint on his face was very obvious.
“President Gardner, why don’t you just listen to everyone’s opinion and give it a try?”
There was a sneer on her face when she heard this, and she couldn’t help but ask coldly, “What is your motive for wanting to bring her into the Pinnacle Group so badly?”
With an innocent look on his face, he answered, “President Gardner, everyone knows Lisa’s net worth right now. I’m just concerned that it would be detrimental for Pinnacle Group if she were taken under the wings of Gardner Corporation. On the other hand, if we manage to get her, we might have a fighting chance.”
Rage was flowing through Olivia like lava at this point. She hated illegitimate children, so not only did she hate Mason, but she also hated Nicole and that b*stard of hers.
“As long as I am in the Pinnacle Group, I will not allow her to join us!” She roared before she turned to leave directly.
This immediately provoked all the shareholders, who were already dissatisfied in the first place.
“She’s clearly paving the way for Gardner Corporation. Lisa is now in the limelight. As long as she agrees to join the Pinnacle Group, it would be a win-win situation for both parties!”
“Exactly! Since her two children died, she has never truly been invested in Pinnacle Group.”
Mason could only smile as the shareholders expressed their unhappiness and said warmly, “Maybe President Gardner has her own concerns. So, let’s be considerate of her as well.”
There was a sharp contrast between Mason’s gentleness and Olivia’s arrogance.
In addition to that, the clear handprint on his face riled up the shareholders even more.
“Mr. Schumacher is now the president of Pinnacle Group. How vile of her to say such a thing!”
“Yeah, let us go and tell the chairman that Olivia’s overbearing character will bring Pinnacle Group down sooner or later.”
All this while, Mason remained quiet as his plans came to fruition, one dissatisfied shareholder at the time.
