DreameNovelChapter 38 Feels Strange The big project that Mr. Blackwood Sr. was involved in had always been handled by his mother. It was only after the incident that he realized it was all a trap. She set it up to lure Mr. Blackwood Sr. in before making him disclose information to the public. The sole purpose of it was to bankrupt the Blackwood family and to have Mr. Blackwood Sr. imprisoned.
Sebastian still hasn't figured out the true motive behind his mother's actions. If it was really because Joey's mother had acted inappropriately with his father back then, it seemed a bit far-fetched. So, he investigated his mother's accounts and discovered that she had embezzled funds.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Winters family has always been dedicated to charity work. If his father, who is far away in another country, found out, he would not hesitate to divorce his mother. It was also because he caught hold of this leverage that he made his mother let go of that project and personally took over its management.
Mrs. Winters Jr. sneered. "Fine, but keep on eye on her. She'd better not end up in my hands!" After saying that, she left the room.
Half an hour later, the shareholders' meeting began.
Mrs. Winters Jr. entered with Isabella and introduced her as her new assistant. Joey, as Sebastian's Chief Secretary, naturally sat beside him, taking notes on her laptop.
From the moment Isabella entered, her expression remained unchanged. There was a beautiful curve at the corner of her lips. Joey also nodded slightly in Isabella's direction, as a form of greeting. It seemed as though there had never been any conflict between them.
Sebastian looked at Joey, who was so calm, and couldn't help but feel curious. He felt that Joey was completely different from before, becoming somewhat unpredictable.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDuring the meeting, as they were about to discuss an important project contract, Sebastian turned to Joey and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the contract?" Joey calmly looked at him and replied, "It's all in these meeting documents." She handed a stack of papers to Sebastian for him to review, but he couldn't find the contract no matter how hard he looked.
Joey immediately stood up and said, "President Winters, I'll go look for it." Before Sebastian could say anything, Mrs. Winters Jr. spoke up, "This contract is the most important topic of this meeting. Is Secretary Blackwood planning to make the shareholders wait while she searches for it?" Joey looked at her calmly and said, "Why don't you givesadvice on what to do now, then, Mrs. Winters?" Mrs. Winters Jr. becangry at Joey's response and said, "You are the Chief Secretary. If you make a mistake, do you expectto cup with a solution for you? If you don't even have that ability, then I don't think you are suitable for this position at all." Joey smiled faintly and replied, "I have been President Winters' Chief Secretary for three years and have never made such a mistake. Isn't it a bit unreasonable for you to pass judgment onwithout lettingfind out the reason?" As you reach the final pages, remember that 00005sis your destination for the complete story.

It's normal to have an occasional slip-up. Everyone makes mistakes."
Seeing everyone speaking up for Joey, Mrs. Winters Jr. had to back down. She looked at Joey coldly and said, "Go and find it, then. Don't disappoint me."
Joey, along with the people from the President's office, searched for a long tbut couldn't find it. Just when everyone was getting anxious, a janitor approached with a document in hand.
"Secretary Blackwood, is this what you're looking for? I found it in the trash bin in the restroom. It seems like Miss Vale threw it away." Joey took the document, and a cold gleam appeared in her beautiful eyes. It was Isabella's doing again!
