Chapter 125 Alfred Backing Her Up 1

As Alfred’s sharp gaze swept across the conference table, he spotted Rayna. He froze for a moment,

then nodded at her.

Rayna quickly bowed to him while she still felt perplexed.

I really didn’t know he was Old Mr. Faymon until now. I visited the Faymon residence a few times after I

got married to Julian, but I never saw Old Mr. Faymon because he was recuperating overseas.

What a coincidence.

Dexter stated, “Old Mr. Faymon, the company needs someone to be in charge, with Mr. Faymon being

hospitalized. Hence, we want to choose someone to oversee matters at this meeting. The shareholders

won’t be able to take it any longer if Faymon Group’s shares plummet a few times with Mr. Faymon’s

absence.”

Jack nodded and added, “Old Mr. Faymon, you set the rules that Faymon Group should have at most

two executives from the Faymon family. Even though Mr. Faymon is recuperating in the hospital, he’s still

the CEO. Moreover, there’s Ms. Faymon in the planning department. Hence, we think Ms. Sienna

shouldn’t enter Faymon Group or she’ll break the rules.”

Alfred turned to look at Sienna and asked sternly, “Why didn’t you tell me about your plan to enter

Faymon Group?”

Sienna’s lip twitched, and she smiled gently. “Alfred, I was worried about Faymon Group. The company

stock has greatly plummeted lately, and Curtis hasn’t woken up yet…”

“So you wanted to break the rules while exercising your influence as a member of the Faymon family?”

“That’s not what I meant, Alfred.”

Alfred barked, “You would have consulted me before taking any action if you really respected me as your

elder brother. Although I gave Curtis the authority to manage Faymon Group, the company belongs to

everyone! Do you know why some businesses fail so quickly? It’s because they’re a family business, and

the family members impeded the development of those corporations. Nobody will work sincerely for you

if everyone uses their connections to become executives and exploits the talented staff as stepping

stones. People aren’t stupid. They are out to make money!”

Sienna’s smile froze from Alfred’s barrage of remarks.

Everyone in the conference room held their breaths.

Those in Faymon Group were aware of Alfred’s quick decision-making style. He was more difficult to talk

to than Curtis, and he would even harshly chastise his family members whenever he was provoked.

The conference room opened once again when Alfred was lecturing Sienna. A few people walked in, and

the middle-aged man standing in the front said, “Alfred.”

His full head of black hair contained a few white strands, and he did not seem young. He wore a three-

piece suit and exuded a powerful aura like a man of power.

Rayna knew he was Chester Faymon, Alfred’s younger brother.

There were two men following behind Chester. The scrawny and sluggish one was Jason, his second

son, while the other was Julian.

Jason is the general manager of the branch company at Yeringham, so it’s not strange for him to be

here, but why did Julian follow them?

Alfred saw Chester and questioned, “Aren’t you in Saintnam on a business trip? Why are you back?”

Chester explained, “Jason called to inform me that Curtis got into a terrible car accident. I returned after I

finished making arrangements for work. Curtis’ car accident caused Faymon Group’s stocks to continue

declining. There are speculations that Curtis is on the verge of death and Faymon Group will fail. Are

Curtis’ legs gravely injured?”

Alfred sneered coldly and muttered in mockery, “Why are you asking me so many questions when I’m the

only one with a lot to ask you all? There are so many of you here in this country. You didn’t help your

nephew or your cousin out when he got into a car accident and let the media take advantage of the

situation! Is the over two billion in loss my fault when I am an old man recuperating in the hospital?”

Sienna understood the intention behind his words, and she stated, “As Brooklyn’s aunt, I wanted to help

her plan a good wedding since she is getting married and you weren’t there. I didn’t expect Curtis to get

into a car accident.”

Brooklyn defended Sienna. “Aunt Sienna frequently stays up until three or four in the morning managing

the branch office in Jipsdale while also organizing my wedding. I contacted the media after knowing that

Curtis got into a car accident, but I didn’t expect the news to have been widely spread. It just couldn’t be

suppressed.”

Chester added, “That’s right, Alfred. Sienna has it hard. You should blame me instead of her. I didn’t fulfill

my duty as her elder brother as I have been dealing with some matters in Saintnam.”

Alfred waved his hands and did not want to continue hearing their hypocritical statements. “Enough.

We’re all family, and we’ll be a laughing stock if we continue airing out our family laundry. The most

crucial thing right now is to wait for Faymon Group’s stock to stabilize.”

A shareholder asked, “Old Mr. Faymon, since you’re here, do you have any suggestions on how to deal

with this situation? Faymon Group’s rules can’t be broken, and we still need someone to take charge.”

Alfred looked at Rayna and asked, “Young lady, why are you still standing? Which department are you

from?”

Rayna had been watching the show since Alfred arrived. She was analyzing why Chester returned and

she forgot to sit back. Rayna did not expect Alfred to ask her a question suddenly.

After a brief pause, Rayna spoke quietly, “Ms. Sienna wants to help Faymon Group because she fears

the company’s shares will continue to fall if there’s no one to take the helm. I stood up to speak out of

respect as a junior employee. Since there are already two executives from the Faymon family, I’m

concerned that Ms. Sienna will be violating the rules of Faymon Group. I’m Rayna Garland, the manager

of the Department of Regulators, which Mr. Faymon newly established.”

Alfred could not help but chuckle when he heard that.

She spoke about her company’s matters while we were having stew previously, with a sorrowful

expression. She said her boss set up a new department for her to be a scapegoat. I didn’t expect the

company she talked about to be Faymon Group.

Alfred knew Curtis very well. He must have handed things over to her because he trusts her.

“There’s no need to find someone to be in charge. Ms. Garland will serve as the acting CEO until Curtis

recovers.” When Alfred announced that in a light voice, the conference room became silent.

Alfred looked at Rayna, who was taken aback and gently stated, “Ms. Garland, it’s going to be hard for

you for a while. You can mobilize the employees of several branches from the other states if it is

necessary besides those in Faymon Group.”

After ten seconds of silence, a heated discussion began in the conference room.

Sienna reluctantly commented with a sullen expression, “Alfred, I know you don’t want to break Faymon

Group’s rules. The acting CEO should be chosen from either Mr. Saunders or Mr. Grant. She’s merely a

manager. “

Chester added, “That’s right, Alfred. You can’t joke about this. How can a manager be the acting CEO?

That’s against the rules. I heard she doesn’t major in finance.”

The shareholders became concerned after they heard his words.

Managing a company was not child’s play. Having someone who did not major in finance serve as the

acting CEO for a huge corporation like Faymon Group was equivalent to self-destruction.

“Old Mr. Faymon, we strongly object this!”

“What does she knows as a manager with little experience?”

“That’s right. Ms. Garland appears too gentle. She won’t be able to handle her subordinates. People

won’t listen to her.”

The conference room, which was tense a moment earlier, had become rowdy like a supermarket.

Everyone was in disagreement over Alfred’s suggestion and did not want Rayna to be their acting CEO.
