With a shrug, Annabel turned around and walked out.
Outside, she bumped into someone who had been walking in a hurry.
It was Cody.
“Good day, Mr. Cody.” Annabel nodded and greeted him.
Cody didn’t respond. Instead, he gave her a cold glance and walked straight into the CEO’s office.
Hearing the footsteps, Rupert looked up.
“What’s the matter?” he asked, seeing that Cody had worry written all over his face.

Cody whipped out his phone and put it in front of Rupert. “The stock price has fallen by ten points within just a few days. Are you aware of that p>
“Yes, I’m aware. I’ll handle it,” Rupert replied calmly.
“How do you intend to go about it?” Cody looked at him with a frown. “We all know why the company got into this mess in the first place. It’s pretty easy to solve the problem p>

Rupert wouldn’t bother firing the person in charge even if it wasn’t Annabel. He knew better than that.
Seeing that Rupert was hesitant, Cody held out a document and said, “Dismiss Annabel immediately. This contains the agreement signed by the members of the board p>

“This was my mother’s idea, wasn’t it?” Rupert asked, frowning deeply.
“Yes, hers and ours too!” When he saw the fire brewing in Rupert’s eyes, Cody wiped the sweat on his forehead. “The other shareholders and I want what’s best for the company. We want this matter to be solved before the company goes under p>
