Female Novel
Chapter 310 The Resignation
At the moment she saw Sofia, Hayden understood why Belinda arranged such a meeting – the
replacement of power required all the members’ presence.
According to the shares, Sofia owned more shares than her by three percent, which meant that Sofia
was the biggest shareholder. Besides, she was also the executive director.
“Since I am back, I think all of you will agree that I am the boss. And you, Miss Downey, should leave
this position.”
Sofia now looked cruel and grim and no longer hypocritical. She seemed to blame Hayden for all the
sufferings.
Hayden frowned and stood up, “Of course, you are the boss.”
Sofia directly sat at Hayden’s chair.
Anna gave Hayden a chair in a hurry, which was criticized by Sofia silently.
“Also, since I am here, our company should be operated as usual. Hayden, I heard that you had your
own garment company. Now you can focus on it because I will look after Downey Group.”
Her words aroused discussion of the board.
After all, Hayden made a great contribution to the survival of the Downey Group, and thanks to her,
now the company was back to normal.
They could not treat Hayden so bad.
Listening to the discussion, Hayden was calm. Actually, she had little ambition about the Downey
Group and this time she temporarily led the company.
“I agree with you.”
These days, she was so busy that she could hardly have time to take care of her kids so she was
indeed happy to hear this. She attached little importance to the wealth and power.
After the meeting, Hayden was back to the office and pack up her stuff to make room for Sofia.
After a few minutes, Sofia arrived, looking radiant with health, which made others doubted whether she
suffered a lot as she said. But Hayden didn’t care so she kept silent about that.
“I finished. You can move in at anytime you want.”
For Anna had helped with moving the boxes, Hayden was standing aside.
There were only Sofia and Hayden in the office.
Sofia looked at her coldly,
“Why did you agree on my decision so quickly? Aren’t you in want of the company? Oh, maybe you
have another plan.”
“I am not interested in the Downey Group, which was told by my father in the past. Besides, there’s no
legacy left to me. If you are still doubtful about that, I can sell my share and the company will be under
your family’s total control.”
“You are pretending.” Sofia looked at her with scowl.
“Don’t lie to me. I know that he insured you with the money of more a billion. He pretended not to care
about you, but actually, you are his favorite daughter. All he left to me and Chelsea was the company at
stake.”
The office was seemingly in a state of the cold war.
Watching Sofia’s desperation, Hayden found it ridiculous and silenced for a while. Then she looked at
Sofia, “As for my father’s death, you are not innocent.”
“What do you mean?” Sofia frowned with anxiety.
“You are right. My father gave me an insurance plan. But do you know what it insured?” Hayden gave
her a cruel glare as if she was from the hell.
“My father’s accidental death,” she continued, “Then I can get a billion as the benefits.
Hayden looked stern.
“The fund that I invested in the Downey Group is the legacy inherited from my mother, which is kept
safe by my aunt these years. You found the problem of the equity hole and ran away because you also
doubt what your brothers have done these years behind you.
Hayden didn’t receive the one billion since she hadn’t got the evidence of her father’s accidental death,
which referred to the unnatural death.
Sofia’s face gradually whitened.
“You understand what I mean. And also, you know the cause of Chelsea’s death.” Hayden tidied up the
belt on her shoulder.
“I can leave. But don’t bother me any longer.
Sofia was a poor woman since she lost her husband and daughter in the middle age. Hayden didn’t
want to blame her as long as she kept her nose clean. But who knew what she planned to do next?
Out of the office, Hayden found Joseph waiting at the door.
She was surprised, “Why are you here?”
“I don’t want to stay here since you are leaving,” he looked calm, “But if you are going to still work here,
I will also accompany you.”
“No, I am not.”
Hayden held his hands.
“It’s Ok.” Joseph touched his nose and said slowly, “It will be embarrassing for me to withdraw my
resignation application if you decide to stay.”
Hearing this, Hayden burst in to laughing.
When they were going out of the building, Anna caught up with them.
“Miss Downey, are you leaving? Not coming back any more?”novelbin
“Yes.” Hayden smiled to her, “You can do a good job, girl.”
“No,” Anna said out of breath, “Can I go with you? I want to your assistant in Green Lemon Clothing.”
Hayden understood what she meant.
Anna was her secretary and once Hayden left, she would be treated worse since Sofia would tend to
find her faults although Anna was actually Sofia’s remote relative.
“The salary in Green Lemon Clothing is not as high as that of the Downey Group. But if you still want
to…”
“I do!” Anna answered quickly, “I want to learn design for a long time. As long as you agree, I will work
in Green Lemon Clothing immediately.”
Hayden exchanged a knowing look with Joseph and then smiled to Anna, “Ok, you can ask Dante. I
think he’s in want of an assistant.”
Anna widened her eyes because of surprise.
“I ask him right now.”
Hayden looked at Anna who was away like a wind, and smiled meaningfully.
“Dante is lucky.”
Joseph held her hands and said, “You pay much attention to other people instead of me.”
“Are you jealous of Anna?” Hayden rolled her eyes upwards, “I lost my job. Please give me a free
meal.”
“I’ve booked a restaurant.” Joseph looked at her with hesitation,
“But I want to take you to meet someone first.”
