NovelAppRead The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 209 - Seeing as everyone was speechless, Ashwin had
no choice but to speak up. “Miss Young, we trust Miss Summers's ability beyond a shadow of a doubt, but-"
Iris, however, interrupted him before he could say anything, “I don’t want to hear any buts! It was Leon who
secured the contract with the Wick Group, so it stands to reason that this cooperation ought to be entrusted to
him! The bottom line is this: I've already made up my mind, and all discussion about this matter is to end. here!”
Iris slammed the table and made a final decision.
“I... Alright.” Ashwin’s expression soured and he slumped back somewhat embarrassedly.
He initially planned to join hands with several executives to put pressure on Leon and attempt to force Leon into
relinquishing that authority. Little did he expect that Iris would value Leon so much more than he imagined, even
to the extent of giving it her all to defend Leon and waste all of Ashwin’s efforts.
However, he was not one to give up so easily, so he quietly looked at George Proctor, the director of the research
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand development department. George was a middle-aged man in his 50s with a medium-fat build. He looked like
he was the kind of guy who grew accustomed to living the high life.
“Miss Young, there's one more thing I'd like to discuss.” George stood up, with his belly jutting out as a result.
“Yes, Mister Proctor. What is it?” Iris asked.
“Miss Young, | have no objection over your decision to let Mister Wolf have full authority over the cooperation
with the Wick Group. However, nothing good can be done in absence of rules and regulations. | heard that Mister
Wolf went to the factory and intervened with the production and our department's hard work under the guise of
supplying the products. This behavior is unethical! You need to stand up for the R- and-D department’s people,
Miss Young!” George complained. He blinked his small eyes as if he suffered. the worst humiliation.
“About that...” A frown appeared on Iris’s beautiful face. She knew about Leon’s plan to increase the refining
efficiency and develop cosmeceuticals, and his involvement in those matters which are not within his
responsibility could be construed as exceeding his authority. Things would have been all fine and dandy if the
people in the research and development department turned a blind eye to it, but alas, the director decided to
complain about it to her.
As a result, Iris was put in a tight spot.
Leon stood up and said, “Mister Proctor, | know that my behavior might've been inappropriate, and I sincerely
apologize to everyone in the R-and-D department. However, we're all working for the scompany, and |
believe the research and development of cosmeceuticals are intrinsically linked to the company’s benefits. All in
all, there doesn’t seem to be any conflict considering that our goals are at the
same.”
“What do you mean there’s no conflict?” George shot back, “First of all, you're shouldering a heavy responsibility
as the person in charge of the cooperation with the Wick Group. There are already a lot of important things for
you to do, yet you're interfering with the affairs of the other departments. Such an act amounts to a dereliction
of duty!”

“Secondly,” George added, “meddling in the affairs of the R-and-D department is no different from

questioning our capabilities. You're implying that people in our department are incompetent! These two reasons
should be enough!” George sneered.
The Elegante Group's research and development department was where the employees were paid the best
despite their lesser burdens, which led to much criticism from the other departments. If Leon took over their
duties, then what use would they be? More importantly, if Leon achieved what their department has never been
able to do, the entire department would becthe laughing stock of the entire company!
He was never going to allow that to happen!
Ariel was not pleased to hear that. “I don’t agree with your statement, Mister Proctor! If | remember
correctly, Miss Young approved a significant amount of research and development funding as early as half a year «
ago, all for your department to develop cosmeceuticals.”
