The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love Chapter 308

Chapter 308 

These past few years, Wayne had been acting like a dictator. There were only two options for the board of directors when it came to what he wanted to do: 

Either willingly agree, or was violently suppressed by Wayne and forced to agree. 

So no one dared to voice any objections during the meetings. 

After the report on the Silverman Group’s merger and acquisition project was finished, Wayne was about to end the meeting. 

But suddenly, someone spoke up, “President Silverman, we’d like to hear Ms. Whaley’s thoughts on her plan to compete with Jered Ventures for FreshBite!” 

There was clear dissatisfaction in this person’s tone. 

– 

Everyone knew that Jered Ventures was a venture capital firm under the Jared Group, fully led by Ms. Gabriella, the heir of the Jared Group. FreshBite had been in contact with them already. For Bane Corporation to barge in like this it was not that they couldn’t afford to offend the Jared Group, but it just wasn’t worth it for a project the size of FreshBite. 

Olivia was taken aback. 

She didn’t want Wayne to know about her involvement in this project. 

“It’s a medium–sized project. No need to waste everyone’s time talking about it during the board meeting. If you have questions, feel free to email me, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.” 

In reality, Olivia was well aware of how many established enterprises in the country were eagerly trying to transform themselves. 

If FreshBite turned out to be a successful case, it could lead to even better and more powerful business opportunities for her. 

Not only would she gain more money, but she’d also get access to the powerful network and resources of the old money. 

“Président Silverman, I believe Bane Corporation doesn’t need to offend the Jared Group just for a medium–sized project like this,” said the person who disregarded Olivia and looked straight at Wayne instead. 

“Is Jered Ventures under the Jared Group?” Wayne asked, sounding indifferent. 

Over the past few years, as Bane Corporation’s business empire expanded and more business operations were added, Wayne had met Hilaria a few times in public. 

However… 

Maybe it was because of Rosalynn that Hilaria had always been cold to him, ignoring him whenever possible, even rejecting his collaborative proposals twice. 

Olivia tried to say something, but she was interrupted. “While Jered Ventures is not technically under the Jared Group, its founder, Gabriella, is Hilaria’s youngest son’s only daughter and has long been raised as the Jared Group’s heir.” 

Wayne had never been interested in the secrets and scandals of these prestigious families. 

With his now distant relationship with Jacob, no one was around anymore to share these gossips with him. 

“What does it matter who their boss is if we’re competing fairly?” Olivia snapped, uncharacteristically. 

Ms. Whaley had always been known for her gentleness, just like Secretary Tesdal before. 

Just like that, a debate about whether the project was worth doing or not ignited. 

After listening to several rounds, Wayne grew irritated and tapped the table lightly. 

The meeting room fell silent immediately, and everyone looked at Wayne. 

“Has Bane Corporation secured the project already?” Wayne asked, raising an eyebrow. 

“Not yet,” Olivia replied. 

“Then what exactly are you all fighting about?” Wayne questioned coldly, “Do you think Bane Corporation is so powerful that you guys can land any project you want?” 

The room was dead silent. 

“If I remember correctly, last year’s project win rate was less than 50%,” Wayne continued, glancing over the crowd, “Since Ms. Whaley already started working on this project, she should fight for it. If Jered Ventures can’t cut it and loses to Bane Corporation, then there’s nothing to worry about with their heir. But if Bane Corporation loses to Jered, then you won’t have to worry about Bane Corporation making enemies with the Jared Group.” 

Olivia couldn’t be prouder. In her eyes, Wayne was supporting her. 

Once the meeting ended, Wayne left the conference room first, followed closely by Olivia.

It was as if she wanted to show the entire company’s shareholders just how close she was to Wayne
