Chapter 729

“Mr. Kirk. I–I didn’t know that you were the one who had endorsed Ms. Caroline. I know my mistake now. I’ll apologize to her in person. Please give me another chance.”

Krik tapped the tip of his shoe on the ground and asked coldly, “Do you know who’s the largest shareholder of this bank?”

Mr. Donovan gritted his teeth and shuddered. “Morrison Corp.”

“Ha!” The smile on Kirk’s face widened, but his icy gaze seemed like it could freeze Mr. Donovan.

“You’re in charge of this bank, but you didn’t know that this bank became my property three days ago.

Why should I give you a chance?”

Mr. Donovan’s expression turned even darker. The bank had actually had a change of owners.

He couldn’t believe that he, the person in charge, hadn’t known about such an important thing. He had even offended the boss himself.

Right now, Mr. Donovan wanted someone to give him the mercy of death. “Mr. Kirk. Well… I really “Enough!” Kirk was no longer in the mood to listen to Mr. Donovan’s explanations.

He said, “Go and get your final paycheck. Also, you mustn’t tell anyone about what happened today.

Otherwise…”

Mr. Donovan was good at assessing the situation. He knew he had no chance of salvaging his mistake, and he couldn’t afford to offend Kirk even more.

So, he said tacitly, “All right.”

Even after he walked out of the bank, he still had a surreal feeling. He couldn’t believe that Caroline’s backer was Kirk himself. How interesting.

At this moment, his phone rang with a call from Layla. When Mr. Donovan realized that he had lost his job because of Layla, an irritated expression appeared on his face.

However, Layla was also someone he couldn’t afford to upset because Eddy was supporting her.

He sighed. He had been caught in the clash between two powers. Feeling resigned, Mr. Donovan Layla asked heartily, “Mr. Donovan, I heard that your bank is making the announcement this Friday, right?”

Mr. Donovan smiled bitterly at her words. “I don’t know.”

He was no longer the chairman of the bank. His last–minute decision might have already been annulled.

However, his answer sounded like a ruse in Layla’s ears. “Haha! You’re a pretty interesting guy, Mr.

Donovan. I understand. Thank you for your help. I’ll definitely show my appreciation when I get Collins Group.”

After getting what she believed to be assurance, Layla hung up the phone, leaving a confused Mr.

Donovan hanging.

Was Layla deaf or something? He sighed. Forget it. He was fired, and he should quickly leave this godforsaken place.

Friday arrived in the blink of an eye.

Since Collins Group’s acquisition was the biggest news in Osbury, Mr. Donovan had decided to make the announcement at midnight to increase online traffic.

So, although it was already past 11:00 pm, many people were still checking their phones, waiting for the bank to make the announcement.

In contrast to the nervous citizens, Layla had already gathered her friends and booked a huge private room in Gourmet Manor to celebrate her victory.

The bright lights in the room shone on the smiles on everyone’s faces, both real and fake.

Everyone raised their glasses, and they congratulated Layla one after another.

“Oh, Layla, you’re going to be the head of one of the big four families. You can have whatever you want. You’ll be living life like a queen. I really envy you!”

“That’s right. Layla here is the first matriarch. As far as I know, the other big four families didn’t have women leading them.”

“Wow, that’s amazing. Layla, you’re great!”
