Chapter 97

The man in the front with the checkered shirt and glasses asked Melvin, "This gentleman, we are all out on a trip, but we have lost our way. We have been there for a few days. We have lost our luggage, and we are starving to death. Do you know how to get out of the mountain?"

Melvin didn't say anything, just looked at the man, and his dark eyes couldn't tell what he was thinking.

The man looked at the people behind Melvin and continued cottoning up.

"Sir, it looks like you are ready to leave the mountain. Why don't we leave together? We can take care of each other, right?"

In contrast to the man's enthusiasm, Melvin seemed very cold and indifferent.

Melvin glanced at the seven-some people behind the man in the plaid shirts and examined them.

Coming from a army, he was instinctively wary of strangers who suddenly appeared.

This group of people claimed to come out to travel and lose luggage, but the dirt on their clothes was very new. It was not like they had come out for a few days without a change of clothes. It was more like they deliberately got the dirt up on their shirts.

Although they were holding each other, everyone's eyes were bright, so he didn't think they had been hungry for a few days.

He furrowed his eyebrows and was sullen.

Something was not right with this group of people.

Melvin's man, who was standing right beside him, quickly noticed his facial expression and became wary as well.

Melvin smiled lightly and responded, "No need to travel together. We're not on the same way."

He turned his head and was ready to leave. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

"So where is this gentleman going? It's always good for everyone to make friends."

The man in the plaid shirt was still enthusiastic and went up to try to tap Melvin on the shoulder.

No sooner had he touched it than his hand was clutched hard by Melvin.

The atmosphere on both sides was suddenly a bit unusual.

Melvin clutched him with one hand and tried to reach into his pocket with the other.

Being clutched, the man's brand new hilt was exposed in his pocket.

Melvin snorted, but his dark eyes looked cold, "Such new knife, I'm afraid you're not just here for a trip. Who sent you?"

Seeing that he discovered it, the man did not pretend and turned sinister.

"Since you're here, don't try to go back alive!"

After saying that, he took out his knife and stabbed at Melvin viciously.

Melvin dodged sideways agilely and the two quickly wrestled together.

The rest of the men saw this and took out their knives as well.

The two groups of people fought on the spot, and the scene was very chaotic.

...

After they came back home, Fiona comforted Sheila, then went to the office and called Ashley.

Ashley had just walked to the door of the president's office when a coffee cup suddenly fell at her feet.

She had already heard about the Freeman Group's failed bid when she arrived, so she smiled as she walked up behind Fiona and thoughtfully massaged her temples.

"Although you are angry, it is not worth it."

Fiona had a headache, and closed her eyes while enjoying her massage and calming down.

Ashley continued, "I have checked the Atimber Property. It is originally a small company on the verge of bankruptcy. A few days ago, it suddenly comes back to life. And it actually won the bid of the suburban land. What is behind should not that simple."

Fiona opened her eyes and lovingly held her hand.

"Ashley, please take more time to find out the owner behind this property. We can offer a better salary to let this person work for the Freeman Group, as long as this person hands over the land to us. "

Ashley frowned, "But Fiona, how could this person want to come work for the Freeman Group?"

Fiona was silent.

"If this person won't work for the Freeman Group, then get this person out of Frayton along with the company."

"Okay Fiona, but ..." Ashley spoke with a faintly complicated expression.

"What's wrong?"

"My status in the Freeman Group is still too low. So many people don't believe in me. In this case, I'm afraid I can't help you too much, Fiona."

Fiona waved her hand in an unstintingly generous way, "Which departments do you want? It is all for you."

Ashley was happy, "Thanks Fiona."

Coming out from the president's office, Ashley went directly to the corresponding departments to handle the handover stuff.

This time, she asked for the HR and finance departments.

She knew what to do each time. She was asking for not too much, which would not alert Fiona.

But while the personnel department was convenient for her to place her own people, the finance department was the lifeline source for the entire company.

With these two departments in hand, it was only a matter of time before the Freeman Group became a toy in her hands.

When she had the Freeman Group, it was equivalent to having no small amount of power.

The first one to go was the bitch who made her look bad at the Matthews family's opening party, Lyra!

Thinking about it, Ashley had excitement in her eyes.

But she did not get carried away. Fiona arranged the errands for her to do.

So, she decided to secretly arrange someone into Atimber Property Company. Whether to pry out information or to facilitate the bad deeds, that was all good and no harm to her.

...

Lyra was in the office handling chores.

Suddenly she received a call from Jackie.

"What's up?"

Jackie's voice sounded serious, "Boss, there's hearsay about the Freeman Group."

"Say it."

"Fiona hands over all five departments, along with HR and finance, to Ashley."

Lyra smiled and shook her head.

Fiona even had the courage to let the finance department be managed by an outsider. How big-hearted should Fiona be?

It seemed like it won't be long before the Freeman Group went bankruptcy by Fiona and all the money went into Ashley's pocket.

Fiona did not know how to operate a company, but dared to take the old Mr. Freeman's life's work at risk. If the old Mr. Freeman knew it, she was afraid that he would crawl out of the grave to kill Fiona.

Unfortunately, although she was happy to see the Freeman Group's declining situation, she had promised to help the old Mr. Freeman keep the group when he was dying.

So, she would take the Freeman Group!

After clearing her mind, she spoke to Jackie who was on the other end of the phone.

"Send someone to keep a close eye on Ashley and tell me as soon as there is a move. Also, if the Freeman Group wants to sell off its stock, buy it all regardless of the price."

"Yes."

Jackie received the order and quickly went to make arrangements.

An hour later, Lyra received another phone call from her.

"You're right. Ashley immediately has an action. Among the people who came to the Atimber Property for job, there is a person's background that looks very suspicious."

"I have someone follow it and find that he spoke to someone on the phone today and soon had a million dollar on his bank account."

She paused and continued, "Should we threaten this guy? Beat him up, throw him out and send him to Ashley to make a statement?"

Lyra pondered and then smiled.

"No. Hire him."

"Huh?" Jackie was confused, "This person is probably a business spy sent by Ashley. If you keep him, aren't you afraid that he will leak the company's secrets?"

"It's better to monitor him when he is under your nose, and, I just want him to reveal secrets."

Her voice sounded calm and steady, and there was an imperative light in her eyes.

"I'm afraid it won't be long before Ashley empties the Freeman Group. And we, this time, will help her out!"
