Chapter 125 Alfred Backing Her Up 1

As Alfred’s sharp gaze swept across the conference table, he spotted Rayna. He froze for a moment,then nodded at her.

Rayna quickly bowed to him while she still felt perplexed.

I really didn’t know he was Old Mr. Faymon until now. I visited the Faymon residence a few times after Igot married to Julian, but I never saw Old Mr. Faymon because he was recuperating overseas.

What a coincidence.

Dexter stated, “Old Mr. Faymon, the company needs someone to be in charge, with Mr. Faymon beinghospitalized. Hence, we want to choose someone to oversee matters at this meeting. The shareholderswon’t be able to take it any longer if Faymon Group’s shares plummet a few times with Mr. Faymon’sabsence.”

Jack nodded and added, “Old Mr. Faymon, you set the rules that Faymon Group should have at mosttwo executives from the Faymon family. Even though Mr. Faymon is recuperating in the hospital, he’sstill the CEO. Moreover, there’s Ms. Faymon in the planning department. Hence, we think Ms. Siennashouldn’t enter Faymon Group or she’ll break the rules.”

Alfred turned to look at Sienna and asked sternly, “Why didn’t you tell me about your plan to enterFaymon Group?”

Sienna’s lip twitched, and she smiled gently. “Alfred, I was worried about Faymon Group. The companystock has greatly plummeted lately, and Curtis hasn’t woken up yet…”

“So you wanted to break the rules while exercising your influence as a member of the Faymon family?”

“That’s not what I meant, Alfred.”

Alfred barked, “You would have consulted me before taking any action if you really respected me asyour elder brother. Although I gave Curtis the authority to manage Faymon Group, the companybelongs to everyone! Do you know why some businesses fail so quickly? It’s because they’re a familybusiness, and the family members impeded the development of those corporations. Nobody will worksincerely for you if everyone uses their connections to become executives and exploits the talentedstaff as stepping stones. People aren’t stupid. They are out to make money!”

Sienna’s smile froze from Alfred’s barrage of remarks.

Everyone in the conference room held their breaths.

Those in Faymon Group were aware of Alfred’s quick decision-making style. He was more difficult totalk to than Curtis, and he would even harshly chastise his family members whenever he wasprovoked.

The conference room opened once again when Alfred was lecturing Sienna. A few people walked in,and the middle-aged man standing in the front said, “Alfred.”

His full head of black hair contained a few white strands, and he did not seem young. He wore a three-piece suit and exuded a powerful aura like a man of power.

Rayna knew he was Chester Faymon, Alfred’s younger brother.

There were two men following behind Chester. The scrawny and sluggish one was Jason, his secondson, while the other was Julian.

Jason is the general manager of the branch company at Yeringham, so it’s not strange for him to behere, but why did Julian follow them?

Alfred saw Chester and questioned, “Aren’t you in Saintnam on a business trip? Why are you back?”

Chester explained, “Jason called to inform me that Curtis got into a terrible car accident. I returned afterI finished making arrangements for work. Curtis’ car accident caused Faymon Group’s stocks tocontinue declining. There are speculations that Curtis is on the verge of death and Faymon Group willfail. Are Curtis’ legs gravely injured?”

Alfred sneered coldly and muttered in mockery, “Why are you asking me so many questions when I’mthe only one with a lot to ask you all? There are so many of you here in this country. You didn’t helpyour nephew or your cousin out when he got into a car accident and let the media take advantage ofthe situation! Is the over two billion in loss my fault when I am an old man recuperating in the hospital?”

Sienna understood the intention behind his words, and she stated, “As Brooklyn’s aunt, I wanted tohelp her plan a good wedding since she is getting married and you weren’t there. I didn’t expect Curtisto get into a car accident.”

Brooklyn defended Sienna. “Aunt Sienna frequently stays up until three or four in the morningmanaging the branch office in Jipsdale while also organizing my wedding. I contacted the media afterknowing that Curtis got into a car accident, but I didn’t expect the news to have been widely spread. Itjust couldn’t be suppressed.”

Chester added, “That’s right, Alfred. Sienna has it hard. You should blame me instead of her. I didn’tfulfill my duty as her elder brother as I have been dealing with some matters in Saintnam.”

Alfred waved his hands and did not want to continue hearing their hypocritical statements. “Enough.We’re all family, and we’ll be a laughing stock if we continue airing out our family laundry. The mostcrucial thing right now is to wait for Faymon Group’s stock to stabilize.”

A shareholder asked, “Old Mr. Faymon, since you’re here, do you have any suggestions on how to dealwith this situation? Faymon Group’s rules can’t be broken, and we still need someone to take charge.”

Alfred looked at Rayna and asked, “Young lady, why are you still standing? Which department are youfrom?”

Rayna had been watching the show since Alfred arrived. She was analyzing why Chester returned andshe forgot to sit back. Rayna did not expect Alfred to ask her a question suddenly.

After a brief pause, Rayna spoke quietly, “Ms. Sienna wants to help Faymon Group because she fearsthe company’s shares will continue to fall if there’s no one to take the helm. I stood up to speak out ofrespect as a junior employee. Since there are already two executives from the Faymon family, I’mconcerned that Ms. Sienna will be violating the rules of Faymon Group. I’m Rayna Garland, themanager of the Department of Regulators, which Mr. Faymon newly established.”

Alfred could not help but chuckle when he heard that.

She spoke about her company’s matters while we were having stew previously, with a sorrowfulexpression. She said her boss set up a new department for her to be a scapegoat. I didn’t expect thecompany she talked about to be Faymon Group.

Alfred knew Curtis very well. He must have handed things over to her because he trusts her.

“There’s no need to replace someone to be in charge. Ms. Garland will serve as the acting CEO until Curtisrecovers.” When Alfred announced that in a light voice, the conference room became silent.

Alfred looked at Rayna, who was taken aback and gently stated, “Ms. Garland, it’s going to be hard foryou for a while. You can mobilize the employees of several branches from the other states if it isnecessary besides those in Faymon Group.”

After ten seconds of silence, a heated discussion began in the conference room.

Sienna reluctantly commented with a sullen expression, “Alfred, I know you don’t want to breakFaymon Group’s rules. The acting CEO should be chosen from either Mr. Saunders or Mr. Grant. She’smerely a manager. “

Chester added, “That’s right, Alfred. You can’t joke about this. How can a manager be the acting CEO?That’s against the rules. I heard she doesn’t major in finance.”

The shareholders became concerned after they heard his words.

Managing a company was not child’s play. Having someone who did not major in finance serve as theacting CEO for a huge corporation like Faymon Group was equivalent to self-destruction.

“Old Mr. Faymon, we strongly object this!”

“What does she knows as a manager with little experience?”

“That’s right. Ms. Garland appears too gentle. She won’t be able to handle her subordinates. Peoplewon’t listen to her.”

The conference room, which was tense a moment earlier, had become rowdy like a supermarket.Everyone was in disagreement over Alfred’s suggestion and did not want Rayna to be their actingCEO.
