Chapter 98: Brothers Take the Blame When Things Go Wrong

Translator: 549690339

Although this project was a collaboration with the Gallagher family, if the leader of Thompson family sided with Gallagher, it would be very delicate.

Molly Walker put down the materials in her hand, lazily raising her beautiful eyes: “Molly Walker will represent the Gallagher, taking on the project is Ivy Thompson.”

“Clap, clap, clap.” The woman stood up and applauded, “That’s well said.”

“Does this mean that you insist on straddling the fence?”

Molly chuckled lightly, her voice low and sultry, especially seductive: “What good ideas does Miss Belmont have?”

Phoebe Belmont was caught off guard by the question being thrown back at her, and her smile stiffened: “This is your issue. I can’t have any ideas, but if you don’t make your position clear, how can everyone trust you?”

“Stop wasting your breath with her!” One of the men slammed the table and stood up, addressing Damian Thompson, “Mr. Thompson, this project is very important to the company. Even if she is a Thompson, we can’t just hand over the project to someone inexperienced. I can understand Mr. Thompson’s personal feelings, but there are so many people in the company to support; we can’t indulge you in this way.”

“What’s wrong with indulging us?” Joshua Thompson played with his cell phone, his wicked lips tugging at the corners, both arrogant and mischievous, “The company was founded by my grandfather. Although you are shareholders, we don’t care about the few shares you hold.”

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Everyone knew that Joshua Thompson had a rogue character, flamboyant and domineering, but they didn’t expect him to be so ruthless.

“And what are you? Are you in a position to point fingers here? If you don’t want to work, just say it. Pack up and leave.” Joshua Thompson glanced sideways at the man, giving him no face at all.

The man’s face went from green to red, and he stood there as if he were being roasted on a fire.

He was just a small shareholder and didn’t dare to strike.

Everyone looked at Damian Thompson, only to find him looking down at his cell phone, seemingly not having heard anything, nor intending to stop Joshua Thompson.

Phoebe Belmont had no choice but to try to smooth things over: “Mr. Richardson is also worried about the project being ruined. We’re all on the same side. We can discuss things nicely…”

As she said it, she felt a sense of trepidation. She hadn’t expected Molly Walker to have such a high status within the Thompson family, even Damian Thompson, the first heir of Thompson family, was helping her.

She and Gillian Thompson were good friends; she didn’t have a good impression of this newcomer Molly Walker, but now she had no choice but to change her attitude towards her.

“Miss Walker, Mr. Richardson is a straight talker, don’t take it to heart.” Phoebe Belmont’s tone softened, conveying a message.

In Thompson, the main decision-makers were still the Thompson family members.

Molly pursed her lips in silence.

She had expected these people to defy her.

“Actually, Mr. Richardson is right. 1 don’t have experience in construction…” Molly Walker chuckled lightly, her lips like a blooming rose, enchantingly captivating.

Although her voice was gentle, it made the people present feel a chill in their hearts.

“However… I don’t need that kind of experience. Thompson has many talents.

For example, Mr. Belmont, you excel in architectural design, and Mr. Richardson, you are even better at purchasing building materials. As for the others, you all have your own areas of expertise, Although I am young, I also know how to allocate resources for maximum benefit. I will, of course, leave things I’m not good at to those who excel in them. As for what I’m good at, it’s leading you, making sure each module is done well.” “My task is to allocate you reasonably, right?”

Her words fell, and the air was eerily silent.

Damian Thompson raised his long fingers to adjust his glasses, his face full of satisfied smiles.

Joshua Thompson gave her a thumbs up.

Who said she had to do the work herself? She just needed to manage people.

Phoebe Belmont couldn’t find fault with Molly’s words for a moment.

Her words affirmed their abilities and efforts while also being realistic and sincere.

She may be young, but she’s also a leader.

Molly Walker had a clear grasp of their expertise, so no one would question her professional competence as a leader.

After all, the core of management is managing people, not doing the work.

Even if they didn’t accept this manager, at this point, they had no choice but to.

If you don’t obey, then you become the leader of Thompson family.

Supplant Daniel Thompson?

They didn’t dare nor had the guts to.

“You’re right; your main job is to manage your subordinates, just assign tasks, and the work will be done by the people below.” Phoebe Belmont smiled without refuting, but inside she couldn’t help but laugh. Is being a leader really as simple as managing subordinates?

The young girl thinks things are too simple.

Well, let’s wait and see. She wants to see if this young girl, who just graduated not long ago, can really take over this plate.

Even though the shareholders had already seen Phoebe Belmont’s ability to change her face, they were still impressed by her resilience.

It was no ordinary person who could sit in the shareholder position in their early thirties.

Molly Walker smiled silently; she knew her arrival had touched some people’s interests. But she wasn’t good at architecture and wouldn’t pretend to be.” However, since her older brother had given her this task, she had to perform well on the surface.

There’s always her brother to fall back on if things don’t work out, so she’s pretty relaxed.

If the Thompson family’s shareholders knew she was thinking this way, they’d probably be furious enough to end up in the hospital.

Damian and Joshua never expected her to resolve the issue so quickly. At the end of the meeting, when the crowd cleared, only the Thompsons remained.

Nicholas approached Damian and said, “Brother, Gillian wants to attend Mr.

Cunningham’s workshop. Do we still have a spot available for her?”

Mr. Cunningham reserved a quota for the Thompson family every year, and this year would be no exception.

Damian nodded, “We do, but it’s already given to Ivy. If she really wants to go, she can take private lessons from Mr. Cunningham.”

Private lessons were one-on-one, which might sound great, but they lacked the lively academic atmosphere.

Nicholas didn’t say anything and looked at Molly Walker, hesitating to speak.

Joshua quickly reminded him before he could talk, “Think it over in your head before you say anything.”

He was afraid Nicholas would ask Molly to give up her spot, especially since he’d been acting strangely recently, so he had to be cautious.

Looking at Molly, Nicholas remembered what Gillian said yesterday, feeling mixed emotions.

He had made mistakes before and didn’t want to make another one.

He had seen how Molly dealt with the senior executives just now. He thought she’d make the situation worse, but instead, she easily diffused the situation, preventing it from deteriorating further.

She was more impressive than he had imagined.

When Gillian texted him early this morning about the quota, he agreed without hesitation, but now…

If Gillian knew about this, she’d probably be upset.

Nicholas’s face was full of bitterness.

Molly never thought the workshop quota would be so sought after. Without even glancing at Nicholas, she turned to Damian and said, “l want to go see the construction site.’

She remembered that the project was still in the planning stage, covering a wide range of land areas, and with no set location. Without on-site inspections, discussions would be just empty talk.

Hearing her intention to visit the site, Damian was supportive since some things need to be practically done.

“The Gallagher family has already sent people to inspect the site. You’re in charge of the project now, so it’s good to check it out for yourself. You’ll have a better idea afterward.” His gentle voice softly caressed her ears like a gentle breeze, “Don’t worry about doing what you want, your brothers will back you up if anything happens.”

Molly hummed softly, her eyes downcast, not letting them see the teary emotions welling up in her eyes.

For twenty-four years, she thought she was alone in the world, fending for herself.

Little did she know that not only were her parents alive, but she also had several amazing brothers.

She must not let them down.

That afternoon, she went to the site selection location.

One in the Northern District and one in the Southern District.

In a small alley in the Southern District, Elizabeth Aitken was confronting the Howard family outside a small house.

“Elizabeth, you willingly paid for the renovation back then. If you want to move the furniture, you have to give us that house in the East City District.” Aaron Howard’s sister schemed, her eyes calculating quickly.

Elizabeth trembled in anger.

After marrying Aaron, she had compromised a lot. But now, when she wanted to move her furniture, they didn’t even let her through the door.

Now they have the nerve to demand the house in the East City District.

The small apartment in the East City District was left to her by her mother before her death. Although a small apartment, it was in a bustling commercial area and was now inhabited by her father, brother, and sister. Elizabeth never thought the Howards would still have an eye on that small apartment even after the divorce.

In fact, Aaron used to have an apartment over 100 square meters, but he got hooked on online gambling and lost everything, leaving only this small, worn-down house in the alley. The Howard family was still audacious enough to want to swap houses with her.

Bella Howard really wanted that apartment. She couldn’t stand living in this tiny, shabby alley after getting used to living in her brother’s nice elevator apartment.

Elizabeth had compromised a lot since marrying her brother, and she felt that Elizabeth would relent on this matter eventually.

But Elizabeth was determined this time,

“l won’t exchange the houses, and I will move the furniture. You’ll have to let me do it today, whether you like it or not.” Elizabeth said coldly as she walked inside.

Just then, Bella sat on the ground, wailing, “She’s hitting me! She’s hitting me!

Elizabeth Aitken is hitting me! ”

After looking at the Northern District, Molly arrived in the Southern District.

When she saw the geographical location and living conditions of the Southern District, she quickly made her choice.

From a geographical standpoint, the Southern District was more suitable for renovation.

“Elizabeth, you bitch! How dare you hit me!”

Molly paused, looking into the alley. Elizabeth was being chased out by a group of old men and women..
