Chapter 664 The Aura Becomes Exceptionally Powerful

Trident Group.

Avery looked at the financial statements of Trident Group sent over by Xavier. As she saw those numbers, her

delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

During her postpartum confinement, Trident Group was like a dragon without a head. Even with the capable

assistance of Xavier, it was still not enough. The stocks of Trident Group kept plummeting severely, falling directly

from the highest point to the lowest.

Perhaps due to a lack of morale, the overall performance of the company had been on a continuous decline.

Looking at the thick stack of documents, which were almost entirely bad news, Avery couldn't help but rub her

temples.

This felt so difficult.

Now she fully understood how busy Cayden, the group's boss, was every day, and how mentally and physically

draining his job could be.

She truly felt helpless, never having considered why Cayden would entrust such a large company to her, a woman

who had never been involved in business before.

She was under tremendous pressure, sometimes even contemplating giving up and letting the company fall into

ruin.

But most of the time, Avery was very rational.

She was determined not to let Cayden's years of efforts be ruined by her own hands. Even if she couldn't make

Trident Group thrive under her leadership, she had to maintain its current status at the very least. This was the goal

Avery set for herself.

Of course, Trident Group was a renowned multinational corporation after all. Even though it had been facing

various challenges recently, its foundation was still very strong. It was not something that can be quickly destroyed

by just anyone.

Gathering her thoughts, Avery continued to work on the documents.

When she saw the document indicating Wisteria's failed bid, she paused for a moment, then quickly pressed the

intercom. “Tina, could you ask Ms. Summers to come over?”

Wisteria entered the CEO's office and saw Avery, who was frowning at a pile of documents. With a hint of disdain on

her face, she asked, “Ms. Rumpley, you wanted to see me?”

Avery noticed Wisteria's arrogant attitude, which slightly displeased her. However, she didn't show it, and instead

asked patiently, “Ms. Summers, I am seeing you about the bidding on Chimera Lake. Why did this bidding...”

Wisteria plopped down on the swivel chair opposite Avery, crossing her legs nonchalantly. Then, she interrupted,

“You want to ask why I lost the bid? I'm really sorry, but our competitor was the powerful Xenos Group. You should

know that the chairman of that company is the second son of the Xenos family. The Xenos family is very influential,

and that man is a classic smiling tiger. He's always been underhanded and cunning, stopping at nothing to snatch

bids. When Mr. Moore was around, he could keep him in check, but now that Mr. Moore is gone, no one can restrain

him. It's only natural that we lost the bid this time.”

“Moreover, there's a saying that a new official must make his mark. I remember clearly how resolute you were in

your promise to secure that piece of land in Chimera Lake. You've been in office for nearly two months now, and

not only have you failed to secure the land in Chimera Lake, but you've also lost quite a few of our major clients

who were personally handled by Mr. Moore. Ms. Rumpley, you really are something! Also, you...”

Wisteria's words, filled with veiled praises and hidden criticisms, were like a prickly cactus, poking deep into Avery's

heart. Each word was like a bloody wound, causing great discomfort.

“Ms. Summers!”

A stern look crossed Avery's gentle face. “You should be well aware of my current situation. I returned to work at

the company right after my baby turned one month old. There are many works that I'm not familiar with, and I'm

learning as much as I can. Although my current abilities may not be enough to win your full respect, there is a

learning period for everyone. I believe that in the future, I will be fully capable of fulfilling the role of acting

president. Please give me some time. Of course, the failure of this bid is largely due to my shortcomings, but

whatever we've lost, I will make sure to regain from elsewhere. Also, I know you have a lot of complaints about me

right now, but no matter how much you disdain me, and how much you don't want to admit it, I am still your

superior. Please mind your work attitude!”

At that moment, Avery's aura became extraordinarily powerful. The woman's delicate features were accentuated

by her fierce demeanor, making her even more intimidating.

The air around became tense, filled with imminent tension. Wisteria even felt as if she was about to be swallowed

whole.

That kind of feeling even made her, a strong woman, feel a bit intimidated.

Aside from Cayden, Wisteria had never feared anyone.

But now, she actually felt a bit uneasy facing Avery, who used to be nothing in the past. It's really unbelievable!

Of course, Wisteria admitted that she didn't give her all in this bidding. If the president was still Cayden, she would

find a way to win the bid no matter how difficult the situation was.

But now, the one in control of Trident Group was Avery, a woman she despised so much it made her grit her teeth

in anger. Why should I win the bid and benefit this woman?

Wisteria still showed disdain, but her arrogant attitude had significantly subsided under Avery's pressure. “Let's wait

and see. I'm curious to see what tricks you'll pull with Trident Group. The company is the fruit of Mr. Moore's hard

work, so be careful not to get burned playing with fire!”

She was waiting to see this woman make a fool of herself!

After Wisteria left, Avery felt somewhat restless, slumping into the swivel chair like a deflated ball.

She understood her current predicament, practically besieged by everyone around her with no one to rely on. The

only person she could depend on was herself.

On the office desk, there was a photo of Cayden. The man was dressed in a suit, with a handsome face. Even his

gaze was filled with dominance as if it could penetrate the photo and shoot into Avery's pupils.

His sensuous thin lips parted slightly as if he was cheering her on, rooting for her.

Avery gently stroked his eyebrows, his eyes, his lips, whispering softly, “I will strive to keep up with your pace,

protect your company, and I and our little ones will be waiting for you to come home...”

After a brief break, Avery resumed working on the documents.

At that moment, a somewhat unique land-bidding proposal suddenly caught her eye.

The reason why this bid was rather unique was that all the other land bidding proposals were for locations with

good geography or beautiful scenic areas. But this one was not. Not only was its geographical location quite

remote, but it also resembled a small, desolate hill.

The proposer was Patrick Doyle.

Avery found this name somewhat familiar. It was because Cayden had casually mentioned it to her twice before—

the person in charge of the project department. Cayden held him in high regard.

The Patrick he spoke of was quite talented and honest.

Cayden said that Patrick was good in all aspects, except for one fatal flaw—he was too straightforward. He spoke

bluntly and was unwilling to curry favor with anyone. That led to his isolation from most people at work. Despite

having worked at Trident Group for five to six years, he ended up with a mediocre position as a project manager.

And the position of project director was a promotion that Cayden gave him, disregarding the criticism from other

shareholders.

Avery carefully examined Patrick's bid, gradually becoming drawn by his proposal. A bold idea slowly began to take

root in her heart...
