Chapter 974
Jeff watched as the dejected individuals left to process their resignations and then turned his gaze to the group of
sycophants still in the conference room, a smirk curving his lips.
At that moment, Mr. Haley stood up and shook his hand.
“Jeff, I’ll be heading back to North America. I wish all the best for Mr. Raymond’s business.”
Jeff liked Mr. Haley’s straightforwardness, nodding, “Until we meet again, Mr. Haley.”
Mr. Haley immediately leaned in, a fawning smile on his face. “I hope you can put in a good word for me with Mr.
Raymond. The EcoTraverse Group owes its survival to his support. We’ll forever be grateful for that.”
Jeff was unexpectedly touched.
It was rare to find such genuine people in the business world.
It was probably this very reason that made lan decide to help the EcoTraverse Group in the first place.
The EcoTraverse Group, being a global leader in the automotive industry, had a family willing to entrust 95% of
their shares to a trust. This showed the unity of this family, who were determined to prevent any possible
acquisitions of the company.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe fact that the president of the EcoTraverse Group was allowed to retain the remaining five percent
demonstrated the trust the rest of the family had in him.
This was a harmonious family, free from the convoluted politics of the Raymond family.
“Alright. Mr. Raymond admires your character as well, Mr. Haley.”
Mr. Haley left cheerfully, dialing his family on his cell phone to share the good news. His joy was palpable and
unfeigned.
Jeff politely saw him off to the underground garage, only returning to the elevator once Haley’s car had
disappeared into the distance.
As lan’s assistant, it was important for him to appear more composed than anyone else.
Once alone, he took a deep breath, a broad smile gracing his face.
When he returned to lan’s office, he slipped back into his professional demeanor.
“Mr. Raymond, those individuals have begun their transition process. Would you like a list of those we’re promoting
to fill their positions?”
Instead, lan pulled out a prepared list of replacements.
The list sent a jolt through Jeff. The number of people on the list matched the number of executives resigning right
down to their positions.
This meant that lan had known about their wavering loyalty all along.
Instead of firing them previously, he decided to uproot them completely this time.
As his assistant, Jeff was momentarily at a loss for words.
After a few seconds, he quickly said, “Okay, I’ll get in touch with the people on the list immediately.”
As Jeff was about to leave the room, lan asked, “Has Maja called you these past few days?”
“No.”
lan lowered his gaze, quietly looking at the documents in front of him.
It seemed like all the victories in the world couldn’t match the excitement of receiving a call from Maja.
Jeff heard a soft sigh from inside as he closed the office door.
He suddenly felt the weight of unspoken emotions.
In the evening, lan received a call from Fitch inviting him out.
News of lan’s assertive tactics had already spread around their circle. Those who were initially undecided didn’t
seem surprised now.
Despite knowing that lan was at a disadvantage, they felt that this couldn’t be his end. It just didn’t fit his proud

So, the heads of these powerful families once again warned their children to stay away from lan.
All afternoon, lan kept glancing at his silent phone.
If Maja hadn’t scheduled a week’s worth of work in advance, he would have been worried about her safety.
But she had left everything in order, indicating that she knew when she’d be back.
Probably in the next day or two
A cold look crossed his eyes. It seemed she had completely erased him from her mind.
He remained mostly silent when he joined Fitch and the others for dinner that night.
Fitch knew why and teased him, “When you’re in trouble, Maja sure knew how to make herself scarce.”
All she did was make a phone call to their group of friends.
The call was to confirm if lan was really in trouble.
Once she had confirmation, she left Greenfield under the pretext of having work to do.
Fitch scoffed. Was she afraid that if lan fell, the Raymond family would come after her?
After all, lan’s feelings for her were well–known within the Raymond family.
