After saying that, Sophia did not wait for Lucy’s response. She quickly picked up her bag and hurriedly rushed outside. It seemed as if Lucy was determined to tie her fate to Sandra’s. Still, it was to be expected. When it came down to it, she was Jordan’s daughter. The Yard Family belonged to Jordan now, so it was natural for her to help the Yard Family. Sophia initially had no intention of confronting the Yard Family, but they were taking things too far! Don’t blame me for this!
After Sophia left, Lucy got up to leave too. When she walked to the door of the bar, someone was already there to pick her up.
“You’re here!” When she saw that person, she smiled as brightly as a shy, young maiden that had just fallen in love. Her gaze was tender—it was a tenderness no man had ever seen before…
On the other hand, Sandra began expanding her business and the targeted market after receiving the money. She intended to compete against Sophia and persistently acted as Sophia’s business rival. Since Pourl was thriving recently, it became one of her main targets. Thus, King started recruiting personnel and worked with the Ronney Group to aggressively take down Sophia’s Pourl. Once that was done, she planned to target Sophia’s other businesses, including Cooper’s company, Mitchell International Energy and Technology. However, Mitchell International Energy and Technology was engaged in the clean energy industry—it was a unique business. Neither the Mitchell Group nor the Yard Group was involved in that business. So, it wasn’t easy to bring it down.
If the Yard Family’s luxury brands wanted to enter the Cethosian luxury goods industry, they had to first surpass Pourl. Therefore, Sandra was racking her brains and thinking about ways to bring down Pourl. Unfortunately, she discovered that it was not as easy as it had been back then. Even if she had the money, she wasn’t sure where to start. All aspects of Pourl were unimaginably comprehensive—there was no room for Sandra to take advantage. Hence, she could only continuously ‘poach’ their staff.
At the same time, she continued to come up with various mandates for the departments under her. She also stipulated how many tasks needed to be completed within the specified time. Those that couldn’t complete them on time were dismissed immediately. Consequently, everybody working in King was disgruntled over her mandates. Even so, the lucrative salary Sandra was offering was too attractive to turn down. Moreover, the Ronney Group sent over many designers and marketing talents—so much so that it could be considered one of the businesses under the Ronney Group. As a result, it attracted many talents within the luxury goods industry to the company in a short time. With the support of the Ronney Group, the business would not remain stagnant even if it wanted to.
“Billy, I brought you in to give me results! I didn’t bring you here to laze about! Look at this! I handed the reins of so many talented marketing personnel and designers to you, yet what did you give me in return?!” Sandra viciously threw the latest sales record documents in Billy’s face.
On the other hand, Billy did not dare to refute her words. As the director of King, he held the highest authority when Sandra wasn’t around. Therefore, he answered directly to her. After the scandal, he was forced to lay low for a year or two. Now that he finally returned to the design industry, he wanted to produce some results too. Sandra had placed the talents sent over by the Ronney Group under his command, and he had passionately thrown himself into his career. In particular, he wanted to defeat Pourl and Ivan. However… the results of his efforts were a far cry from his expectations. Therefore, he didn’t dare to say a word despite being dressed down by her.
