Chapter 250

*T–taking over your family business?” Jules asked, stupefied Wasn’t Evans Group gone for good? it shouldnt even round as a congrany now, right?

“Yes.” Caroline confirmed “Um, Caroline, don’t be impulsive. To be frank, I don’t like the way she does things either, but you shouldn’t be giving up your career because of someone insignificant.” Jules tried to persuade her to stay “Vivian is only a small part of the reason. The main reason I’m leaving is because Evans Group will be electing its new CEO next month Fm thinking of reviving the company.”

She might not be able to restore it to its former glory from her grandfather’s time, but she’d be content enough to pick it up from the ashes and give it a chance.

For a moment Jules was stunned. “But I heard that Evans Group was in a constant state of loss. Are you sure about this?

“I’ve made up my mind about it.” Caroline handed the resignation letter to him and added. “It is my wish that you’ll give me your approval.”

Jules stared at the letter before him. He didn’t want to accept it, but he couldn’t refuse it.

A moment later, he said, “How about I keep this letter first and wait until you’ve successfully become Evans Group’s CEO before accepting it? What do you think?”

“Great minds think alike. I don’t intend to leave right away. After all, it’d take some time for the design department to look for a suitable new design director. I’ll continue working here until the new design director comes.”

“It seems to me that you’re absolutely determined to take up the role of Evans Group’s new CEO, eh?”

Jules said, to which Caroline smiled in reply.

“Alright then. I wish you all the best.”

“Thank you.”

After chatting with Caroline for a bit, Jules returned to his office and called Charles. “Charles, I’ve brought bad news for you. Caroline wants to resign.”

She was the wife of Jules‘ boss’s nephew. Needless to say, he had to tell them about this to seek their advice on his next course of action.

Charles, too, was stunned when he learned of this.

He stole a glance at Kirk, who sat on a chair, listening to a report by the head of the finance department. From the frown on Kirk’s face, Charles deduced that he was highly unsatisfied with the report.

The head of the finance department noticed it too. But he anxiously carried on with explaining the report while tossing a look at Charles as a plea for help.

Seeing this. Charles took a deep breath and approached Kirk, stopping beside him. He bent over slightly to tell him about the matter regarding Caroline’s resignation.

The gloom on Kirk’s face dissipated, and he quirked an eyebrow. His eyes had a hint of a smile in them when he spoke. “Really?”

“Yes. Mr. Hawkins wanted me to ask you what he should do next.”

“How did he handle this?”

“He accepted the madam’s resignation letter but told her that he’d only approve it after she managed to secure her position as Evans Group’s next CEO.”

“He did a good job.”

Kirk then stood up from the chair and turned to the head of the finance department. “Your report is rubbish. I don’t want to see it again. Go back to where you came from and have it redone!”

The man wiped the cold sweat off his brow and watched as Kirk left the office with Charles. Right alter that, his knees gave out, and he sat 415 BONOS The heads of the other departments crowded around him with sympathy and admiration. “You’re so lucky, James! What did Charles tall him? And why did he look so happy all of a sudden?”

‘I don’t know. I’ll ask Charles about it later”

“Okay. I want to try the same trick too next time Meanwhile, Charles followed Kirk back to his office and asked, “Sir, should we ask Mr. Hawkins to hold on to the resignation letter?

“Why would he do that?” Kirk asked.

His question came as a surprise to Charles, who then spent a bit of time contemplating the matter from a business point of view.

After finishing his analysis, he said, “The madam has zero experience in managing a business. Evans Group only lasted this long because of Morrison Corp.

“If she manages to become Evans Group’s next CEO, Morrison Corp, which is under Mr. Eddy’s control, will withdraw it’s investments. By then, Evans Group will be overwhelmed by losses. It will fall for good.”

“If the madam doesn’t take over the company, she can simply watch from afar,” he continued.

“However, if she insists on joining t company, she’ll be throwing herself into danger.”

Kirk stared at Charles with an unreadable expression. The latter asked, “Was I wrong?”

“You’re right, but you missed a point. Eddy has Dan Evans‘ back. Who said SY Group couldn’t have my wife’s back? Not to mention, Evans Group is just a small business.”
