Hypnotizing Love
Chapter 176 To Take Back the Power

Sheila replied immediately behind her, "There are two more, Mr. Delgado and Mr. Bowater."

"Well." Amber nodded, indicating that she understood.

Not long after, the door of the conference room opened, and Bernardo Delgado walked in with Mr. Bowater, a senior manager.

Amber's eyes met Bernardo, "Mr. Delgado, you are late."

Bernardo pulled out the chair and sat down indifferently, "I was delayed because something happened unexpectedly, would you mind?"

Amber smiled, "Of course not."

She knew that he was late on purpose to secure a leading position over her from the very beginning.

Let him be complacent for a while now, because soon he can't.

"Okay, since everyone is here, today's meeting officially begins, the last time..."

She was interrupted by Bernardo before she could finish her words, "Amber, today is the day when the results of the new energy technology cooperation seats will be announced. You should tell us the results, right?"

"Yes, Ms. Reed, tell us, have you got the cooperation seat?" The subordinates of Bernardo spoke.

Amber frowned slightly.

A senior who supported her patted the table, "Enough, all of you, the meeting has just started, we can talk about this later."

"Why do we have to talk about it later? We want to know the result now."

Bernardo looked at her even more contemptuously, "Amber, since we are all curious, you should tell us first."

"Yeah, tell us quickly." His subordinates followed suit.

The senior who supported Amber snarled, "Don't go too far!"

"It's okay, Mr. Lambert, please sit down. Since they want to know, I'll tell them. Anyway, I'll talk about it in today's meeting." Amber looked at Bernardo coldly.

Since he was so eager to give her half the management right.

Why didn't she give him a hand?

Her lips curled up.

Bernardo looked at her smile, his heart jolted. Something was wrong, and he couldn't even maintain the contempt on his face anymore.

The expression on her face was indicating that she won the partnership. No way?

No, it's impossible, she must be pretending to be calm, and she was already panicked inside, yes, that's it!

He kept denying it in his heart, but his clenched fists revealed his tension at the moment.

Amber saw it and sneered in her heart. Then, her red lips slightly parted and she said slowly, "I got the project."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked.

Whether it was supporting her or him, they couldn't believe what they heard.

The cooperative seat, you won it?

"Ms. Reed, is this true?" Mr. Lambert trembled with excitement.

Amber nodded seriously, "Yes."

"Great!" Mr. Lambert raised his fists up in the air, and his face was full of joy.

The rest of the people who supported her were also very excited.

Everyone knows what new energy technology represents, that is reform.

Once the new energy technology is fully mature, the world's power energy will be replaced by new energy in the future.

Goldstone was able to catch up with the tide of new energy so early, which meant that the rise of it can already be foreseen in the future. Compared with the excitement of Amber's people, the people on Bernardo's side all looked dreadful, as if they had eaten flies. Especially Bernardo.

He smacked his hand down onto the table and stood up with a distorted expression, "This is impossible! How can you win the cooperation seat?"

The meeting room fell silent for a moment.

Amber looked at him lightly, not afraid of his doubts, "Why is it impossible?"

"I know your abilities and limits. I'm not even sure whether I can win it or not. Why would someone like you stand a chance, a person who doesn't understand the new energy at all?" He mocked. Amber laughed, "But it's me, who doesn't know anything, that won the seat. What would you do, Mr. Delgado?"

"What..." Bernardo choked at his own fury.

After a while, he thought of something, squinted his eyes and looked at her more contemptuously, "I see, you must have seduced Mr. Farrell and used his help, right?"

Amber's face fell and she stood up, "Mr. Delgado, watch your mouth! I won this project because of my ability. It has nothing to do with Jared Farrell. Is there any evidence showing that I have seduced him? And everyone knows that he loves the daughter of the Gardener family, and he divorced me who has been married to him for six years because of this girl. Do you think that he can be seduced by me?"

"That's right, Mr. Delgado, you can't make false accusation like that. This will only show that you are narrow-minded and refuse to admit that Ms. Reed is excellent." Mr. Lambert glanced at him sarcastically. Mr. Lambert had always had a problem with Bernardo.

Now that he had the opportunity to step on him, he naturally went for it.

"Okay, fine, you guys are right!" Bernardo sat down angrily.

Amber looked at him indifferently, "It seems that you have nothing to say. In that case, please fulfill your promise."

"What promise?" Bernardo was stunned for a moment.

Amber stretched out her hand backward.

Sheila handed her a document from the crook of her arm.

After she took it, she pushed it in front of Bernardo, "Last meeting, I made a bet with you. If I can get the new energy project, you will give me half the management power of Goldstone. And I won, right?"

Amber smiled at him.

His mouth twitched, and his fists clenched tightly.

Mr. Bowater, who was sitting on his right, lowered his head even more.

He was right about this.

Ms. Reed was so eager to hold the meeting, which meant it was not a defeat and she couldn't wait to take the power from Bernardo. Mr. Lambert had once warned Bernardo, but the latter was too arrogant and felt that she was definitely gonna lose. It felt like a slap in the face.

"Amber..." Bernardo forced a smile, trying to say something.

Amber interrupted him with her smile, "Mr. Delgado, are you refusing to admit that? But it is useless. When the bet was made, everyone here heard it, and I also recorded it." Do you want to hear what you said at that time?"

She raised her phone and waved it.

His face was pale and bad, "No need, I admit what I said!"

So many people have witnessed the bet, and he couldn't deny it at all.

If he insisted on denying, his people would doubt whether he was worthy of their support, so he couldn't only accept it. It was not a big deal actually; he would replace another chance to take back the power. "Since Mr. Delgado accepts it, please sign this." Amber smiled and handed a pen.

Bernardo opened the document and signed his name.

Seeing this, her smile deepened, and she was completely relieved at the same time.

Now that he has signed, half of the management rights were in her hand. She was a veritable managing director from that moment.

Next, it is time to plan how to take the other half of the power back from him. After all that, she will be able to kick him out of Goldstone.

After the meeting, Amber returned to the office, picked up her phone, and called Cole to share the good news.

At the same time, at the Farrell Group.

Ben walked into the president's office, "Mr. Farrell, I've investigated what you asked before."

Jared raised his head, "So?"

"Trenton Gardner is indeed looking for their eldest daughter." Ben said.00000000☐☐☐☐☐☐
