“ALL right, I’ll be there in a minute.” Lydia turned away from the door and whispered to the phone, “I have a meeting. It’s probably about the project. I’ll call you again as soon as I’m done.”
“Okay. I have some business to attend to myself. Let’s catch up later.”
Lydia hung up the phone and followed the employee to the conference room.
Jaylin looked pretty relaxed, while Henry looked like he had just swallowed a mouthful of glass shards.
“Well done, Lydia,” Jaylin said right off the bat. He sat at the head of the long table, beaming at her.
“You handled the company’s matters well.”

“Dad!” Henry whined, sniffing derisively in Lydia’s directions.
“She should have clarified the issue since the beginning! Instead, she waited until those former employees made a racket online. It even caused our stock prices to drop! The company is more than capable of compensating those people. We could have given them a few months’ worth of and it wouldn’t have mattered. But she had salary, just to wait for things to blow up first before taking action. We’ve never encountered such a mess when I was still managing the company.
Yet as soon as she entered the picture, there’s trouble left and right!”
Jaylin scowled at his son and shot him a glare.
“Shut your mouth right this instant!”
Lydia smirked at Henry.
“If we want to deal a fatal blow to the enemy, then we should wait until they had reached the top before tearing them down. That way, they would think twice before stirring up trouble again. You see? Dalary’s reputation is ruined now, and she’s also facing charges for slander. As for the company’s stocks, not only have they recovered, but the prices have even risen sharply in the market. I don’t see anything wrong with the way I dealt with the issue at hand.”
Henry had nothing to say to that.
“Well done,” Jaylin said again.

“You did indeed do a great job, not only with this matter, but with the project as well. You should head home. You need to prepare for your engagement party tomorrow.”
Lydia knew what kind of person her father was; she knew his so- called concern and praises were merely lip service. She nodded and said, “In that case, I’ll go home now.”
When they were alone again, Henry turned to Jaylin and resumed complaining.
“Come on, Dad! What does she even know? Do you really plan to leave everything to her?”
As a matter of fact, he was less worried about Lydia’s intervention than the possibility of their father finding out that Henry had gambled the company’s shares away.
The way Henry saw it, he still had three million in cash. All he needed was to get a winning streak at the casino. If he played his cards right, he was certain that he would win enough cash to buy the shares back.
Jaylin leaned back in his chair and snorted, “She still has her uses.
We need the benefits that come with her marriage. Of course, I’m not handing the Phillips Group over to her. I would never leave the company in the hands of an outsider.”
Fortunately for them, Lydia was too far away to hear any of their exchange. Otherwise, she would have stormed back in and ripped them both a new one.
