Brayman Building Materials may not compare to a large enterprise like the Campbell family, but this company has a significant reputation in the industry. Given a few more years, it can surely grow and even surpass Campbell.
Elly watched Jenna Clark continue, "Mom is old now and just wants to live a leisurely life. I know you won’t let the Campbells and the Baker women have it easy, so, this company is yours, you call the shots."
Elly looked at Jenna with complex emotions. Jenna, born into a scholarly family, possessed a demeanor more befitting an academic than a businesswoman, an aura of gentle warmth around her, as opposed to Elly’s occasional display of ruthlessness.
In fact, dealing with Campbell wasn’t too difficult, but even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and to easily make James Campbell and Sophie Baker stumble wasn’t that simple.
However, Elly didn’t want them to be happy for too long. Having a suitable "weapon" in her hands was more than ideal.
She glanced down at the transfer documents in her hand and after a moment, nodded to Jenna, "Okay, then. I’ll unapologetically accept it."
"That’s settled! You are my only daughter, and everything I have will eventually be yours. Giving it to you now just means I can relax earlier, do whatever I want, and enjoy myself to the fullest."
Elly looked at her mother, just over fifty, a woman who, with a few more years, possessed a beauty and gentleness refined by the passage of time, a serene quality that she, as a daughter, feared she could never measure up to.
Upon taking over Brayman Enterprise, Elly planned the next steps that very night, and first thing the next morning, she went to the Dean’s office at First Hospital.
"You want to resign?"
Dean Stevenson was surprised upon seeing Elly’s resignation letter, "Why the sudden resignation? Has something happened?"
"Yes, there are some personal matters I need to deal with."
Elly, not wanting to discuss her personal affairs, simply said, "I am very grateful for your care during these days, Dean. If you ever need my help in the future, I will surely assist. But for now... I must resign."
While Dean Stevenson wasn’t one to pry into his subordinates’ personal affairs, seeing Elly’s resolute decision to resign, he knew he couldn’t persuade her to stay, so he could only regretfully accept Elly’s resignation letter.
"President, all the project materials for the collaboration with Campbell are here. If you see no issues, please sign here."
Adam Jones might have looked down on James, but Campbell still had its competent individuals, so Adam was willing to collaborate with Campbell on some projects.
Mentioning Campbell naturally made Adam think of Elly. Since their argument at the hospital that day, he hadn’t seen her.
In fact, after that encounter, he felt somewhat afraid to meet Elly. Deep down, he dreaded seeing that same silent, foreign look in her eyes when she looked at him, and he was even more afraid that upon seeing him, she would bring up the topic of divorce.
Adam Jones had never been so frightened of a person or a matter in his life.
Lost in thought, he suddenly let out a bitter laugh, his hand covering his face, concealing his emotions.
Elly, truly his nemesis, eight years ago and still, eight years later.
Robert Green didn’t understand why his boss suddenly laughed like that. He felt that beneath that large palm, his face seemed to be filled with bitterness.
After a while, Adam took his hand away, his usual indifference restored. He casually asked, "Is Lily being discharged from the hospital today?"
