Chapter 9 A Big Business Move

The best deal was to betray their daughter! Lindsey’s hand that was holding her phone clenched fiercely. She was biting the back of her other hand to prevent herself from making a sound in a fit of anger. It turned out that they already knew back then that Zayn Guggenheim had a girlfriend and still recklessly arranged with Grandpa Guggenheim to marry her off. It also seemed that since 20 years ago from the orphanage, they already had the idea of selling off their daughter! All these years, her sincerity was taken for granted and she was used in return! Twenty years! Twenty years of living together! She treated them like her real parents, but to them, she was merely an object to exchange for family benefits! At this moment, Lindsey Juhl only felt despair. She left the Juhl family home while it was still bright out and found it all to be so pathetic that it was laughable. Lindsey took a taxi and went straight to the office. She was supposed to meet with the client for a case she had been busy preparing for half a month. Now that she was hated by her husband and abandoned by her family, work was the only thing keeping her from feeling utterly useless. In case she wanted to leave the Juhls and Guggenheims one day, she would also have her own standing. However, when she arrived at the office, Lydia told her that the signing ceremony scheduled for later had been canceled by the client. "Canceled? How is that possible? We even have the follow-up data ready and the first few collaborations have always been satisfactory, so how could they suddenly change their mind?" Lydia gave her a look. Her tone was a little helpless as she said, "It's not just this one case, the majority of other customers who previously had the intention to cooperate have also become hesitant. They’ll likely all be terminated..." Lindsey looked at Lydia incredulously and asked, "How can this be? Lydia...did I make some kind of mistake? Is that why the company canceled so many of my projects?" When Lydia saw that Lindsey looked clueless, the anxiety on her face intensified. "Lindsey, tell me honestly. Did you offend someone recently? All these clients were intercepted by the same company." Lindsey instantly jumped up in shock and said, "What? Which company?" "Denarius Corporation!" Lindsey's heart tightened -- that was Zayn's company! So this was what he was referring to when he said he would not let her go? Zayn not only had the idea of making the Juhls go bankrupt, but he also wanted to make sure that she could not even keep her job! "But it's not just you who’s like this." "What do you mean?" Lydia scrolled through her WhatsApp groups on her phone and explained, "This happened to several companies in the past two days. All the slightly larger clients were intercepted by the Denarius. It seems that they have a consultant who returned from abroad, so President Guggenheim sent word to let that consultant pick the clients. Those that she doesn't want can be left for others. So those clients offered themselves because the business wiz, Mr. Guggenheim, was backing her." After Lindsey heard this, she let out a sigh of relief -- at least this was not aimed at her alone. It was just that based on this situation, he should have poached an extraordinary consultant from somewhere, right? Or perhaps it was one of Zayn's relatives? "What's that consultant's name? Is she very famous?" "I’ve never heard of her. I heard she's a newcomer." Lydia did not even lift her head and added, "I think her name is...Jenny Lenig." "Smash--" The glass Lindsey was holding fell on the ground and instantly shattered into pieces.
