Chapter 415
Cordelia stood outside the door, listening to the discussion. She pursed her lips for a long while before
she finally said, "Keegan really lacks interpersonal skills. Only a handful of the old guard really
supported him."
Baldwin was speechless. He thought, 'I was under the impression that you were worried about how you
should handle this matter while you were standing at the door. I never expected you to be so
nonchalant about it and only concerned about your grandson's personal connections. They said that
you were biased, and you didn't deny it at all.1 Baldwin then said, "The young master's expertise lies in
research and development, not handling these sorts of situations."
Cordelia commented, "When Keegan was growing up, I put all my effort into training him to excel. But, I
neglected to teach him the art of eloquence. He really needs to learn it from Stella. Look at her. She's
strong when she needs to be, and soft when appropriate. And, she never backs down from what she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwants. Plus, she acts swiftly and decisively."
Baldwin said, "Weren't you just complaining about her causing trouble when you were on the way
here?"
Cordelia glanced at him and said, "I'm not saying what she did was wrong. She needs to take care of
the Jewell family herself. If she keeps letting people choke her, she'll never be able to fight back. She'll
always be at their mercy. It’s just that I didn't expect her to blow things up so much. Anyway, it doesn't
matter. I'll just get my losses back from Keegan."
Baldwin was speechless. He thought, 'How optimistic of you.'
"Let's go,'' Cordelia said. "I need to play the role of the serious, responsible leader. Otherwise,
someone might not be happy."
When Keegan and the group arrived at the company, the conference room was already filled with
people.
Cordelia sat at the head of the table with Chandler to her left.
Everyone looked serious, and the room was silent.
As soon as Sophia entered, she felt weak in her legs and had trouble standing. She had never seen
such a grand assembly, and just thinking about today's events and the impact on the Vinci Rivera
Group made her face pale. She did not know what kind of trial awaited her.
After being exposed as Albert's bastard child, her hard-earned inspirational image collapsed in an
instant. She did not even have the courage to view her social media page now. Her career and status
were destroyed.
"Please, have a seat," Cordelia said coolly. Someone at the door helped Sophia get a chair.
After everyone was seated, Chandler spoke up. "Jackson, as the person in charge of this project, you
bear an inescapable responsibility for the losses to the shareholders and the impact on the company,
regardless of the reasons for what happened. So, let's start with a sincere apology to everyone here."
The incident had already caused a significant impact. Chandler knew that to appease the shareholders,
they needed to show sincerity. This was something he had always been clear about.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJackson was cooperative and understood the gravity of the situation. He stood up and offered a sincere
apology to everyone present. It was a stark contrast to the rebellious and misbehaving person he had
been six months ago.
Someone among the shareholders said, "It's not all Jackson's fault. This is his first time handling this
kind of project, and there may have been oversights on his part. Plus, the speaker wasn't someone he
hired. It's not fair to blame him alone for this."
"Right now, it's pointless to hold others accountable. We should think of a way to handle this PR crisis."
"But, the evidence is clearly laid out. How can we handle this? No matter what, in the end, it's our fault
for not properly vetting the people we hire."
"Well, there is a way," the PR manager suddenly interjected. "Sophia is Keegan’s wife's sister. If we
spin it as her decision to hire Sophia, it could potentially salvage our company's image."
Keegan's face darkened when he heard that.
