Chapter 545

The Ward Building, which stands tall in Manhattan, New York, towers above the clouds. It is the starting point and the foundation of the Ward family’s fortune.

COO office.

Melissa was instructing the document without raising her head.

“What’s the matter with me?”

“Cousin, can’t I come and see you if it’s okay?”

Vera sat at her desk, seemingly pampered.

“Cousin, you have worked so hard. Now that Uncle is gone, all the burden is on you alone.”

“If there is nothing wrong, please go out, I still have a lot of work to deal with.”

Compared to Vera, Melissa looked a little unkind. She didn’t even look at Vera, but she always focused on the job at hand.

However, it must not be admitted that her work efficiency is indeed very outstanding. One document can be written at the speed of almost ten lines at a glance, and the next one can be picked up quickly.

“Well, cousin, actually come here today. I really want to talk to you on business matters. Can you give me a few minutes?”

Melissa did not say a word, still instructing the document.

Vera didn’t mind, she raised the money, and continued: “Uncle is gone, but the group has to continue to operate, should the new chairman candidate be on the agenda?”

Melissa had a sharp stroke, and finally looked up, her expression flat, but her words were sharp.

“Who asked you to come?”

Vera smiled, seemingly strange.

“Cousin, I don’t understand what you asked. Outsiders are discussing this matter. As a member of the family, shouldn’t I care about it?”

I don’t know if this girl is generous or not holding grudges, the slap that night seemed to have not been taken care of by her at all.

“You can’t stay at home all day, cousin, you have been at the headquarters, maybe you don’t know, those branches are all talking about it.”

“Handling their own work well is their most important task, and it is not their turn to worry about other things.”

Melissa said flatly, meaning something.

The Ward family has a big business, with the Ward Group as its trunk, many subsidiaries have been extended.

Because the direct family members are thin, they can only send sideline members to manage those industries. However, the Ward Group regarding the core interests of the family, since the Nathan Ward era, has been adhering to a dictatorial style, preventing sideline members from entering management. At the level, even if you hire some outsiders as executives, you will never allow collaterals to intervene.

This is also the main reason why Ding, a direct member of the Ward family, is so flimsy, but has not been overwhelmed.

In the words of Nathan Ward, if you want a dog to do work, you have to throw a few bones at it, but at the same time, you can’t let it jump on the table.

Those branches are the bones thrown directly by Ward, while Ward Group is the dining table.

But it is undeniable that the Ward family can have today’s power and scale, and those collateral lines are indispensable.

Of course, in a heavily classed capital society, many things are destined from the day of birth.

Even if you can’t talk about slaves, in the eyes of the noble blood Melissa, the status of those collateral lines is probably not much higher than that of servants.

This is why she slapped her face so decisively that night.

Normally, she just doesn’t bother to care about it, but when necessary, she doesn’t mind letting the other party understand what rules and inferiority are.

“Cousin, you can’t say the same thing. Everyone is doing things for the family. We all hope that the family can move forward. Now that Uncle has left, we must accept reality. I hope that my cousin can quickly take over as Uncle and eliminate the rumors outside. Stabilize people’s hearts.”

Vera’s words are heart-warming and sincere, which is touching.

“I know what to do, you go back first.”

Melissa’s reaction was dull, and she drove the guests again.

“Cousin, what are you waiting for?”

Vera was puzzled.

“As long as you take out the uncle’s will, you can justifiably inherit your position and block everyone’s mouth. You don’t have to wait anymore.”

Melissa’s eyes twitched.

Although the other party pretends to be kind, it is still difficult to conceal the aggressive tone even if it is disguised, and it still exposes the badness of the person who came.

“Vera, did someone say something to you?”

Vera smiled like a spring breeze.

“Cousin, how can anyone say anything to me. These are my own ideas. Our Ward family has always been in power by men, and I really hope to be able to have a female head. Cousin, I am even better than you in this respect.” expect.”

“The will is not with me. It is stored in the safe of the bank by Attorney Andre. He will publish it at a time according to his father’s order before his death. All we need to do is wait.”

As the first stakeholder, Melissa should have been most anxious, but at this time her calmness was like an outsider.

If something goes wrong, there is bound to be a demon.

Vera’s smile was more charming.

“Cousin, you are in a hurry. You are the only child of Uncle and the first heir of the family. When will the will be announced, it is not up to you? You only need to notify the lawyer Andre, and he will give it back. Dare to violate your orders?”



Melissa raised her slender eyebrows.

“Are you teaching me to do things?”

“of course not.”

Vera shook her head and explained: “It’s just that I am also a member of the family. I don’t want any problems in the family. Everyone knows that if the position of the patriarch is left empty for a long time, it will cause trouble.”

“Vera, are you thinking too much? You have to be clear about your identity, these are not things you need to care about. What new products are released on Fifth Avenue, for you, it should be more meaningful to spend time .”

Vera’s smile froze slightly, her eyes subconsciously cold.

But only momentarily.

She regained her bright smile.

“Thank you for your cousin’s reminder. I really haven’t been to Fifth Avenue for a while. I’ll check it out later.”

Melissa nodded, still holding a pen in her right hand, and turned her head to look at the sky outside the window.

“Hurry up, and later, some stores may be closed.”

Vera smiled unchanged and stood up.

“The cousin, I’ll leave first.”

Melissa did not respond, lowered her head, and revisited the file.

“By the way, cousin, there is a word, I still want to remind you.”

Vera who turned around suddenly paused, then said.

“Time is money, and dragging is just a waste of time. After all, the will in the safe will not change, will it?”

Melissa lowered her head, unable to see her expression clearly.

Vera smiled brightly, carrying the latest fashion bag from Hermès.

“Cousin, then I won’t interrupt your work.”

The high heels hit the ground, and the sound faded away.

Melissa never looked up, her eyes fixed on the document, her fingers holding the pen tightly squeezed tightly.
