Chapter 458 Did Ms. Linda Act On Her Own?
James was pleased. He laughed softly and replied, “Both Mr. Darcey and Mr. Wickam are perceptive. Yet
both of them requested for Ms. Elisa. Do you think that it’s just luck? Even if one of them is not in their
right mind, does that mean that the other is too? Then, which of them do you think is not in his right
mind?”
They kept silent.
His words rang true. They were not satisfied with the state of affairs, but it was undeniable that Elisa was
skilled. Many of them admitted that Elisa was capable of completing the task.
However, those who were on Norman’s side did not want Elisa to take back the corporation. They
weren’t sure about leaving the corporation’s future in the hands of a youngster. Besides, if she managed

youngster? They couldn’t accept it.
Calvin’s expression was stiff. He looked at Norman. “What do you think, Mr. Benett?”
Norman kept quiet.
Is Calvin stupid?
What do I think?
I will never let her take charge!
Jessie smiled as Norman stayed silent. “Is there any point in disputing this? If it was only Mr. Darcey, we
could say that perhaps he wasn’t thinking straight. Now, Mr. Wickam said the same thing, and he even
sent Thomas to negotiate. Is there any point in discussing this then?”
Norman stayed tight-lipped.
With his eyes shut tight, Calvin drew a breath before speaking up. “I think… We can consider letting Ms.
Elisa take charge. But now the problem is that both companies are willing to pay for it. Then, who should
we choose?”
The silence in the room was deafening.
Letting Elisa take charge was the initial dilemma. They were in a tight corner with the development of the
situation.
James snickered. “A lot of us shareholders didn’t even know what had happened when Mr. Wickam was
involved in this situation. Who was it that suggested bringing in Mr. Wickam? Did they not consider that
this situation might happen? It doesn’t look like the work of someone experienced. Did Ms. Linda act on
her own?”
He was indirectly insulting Norman.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe said that Linda was acting on her own, but he meant that Norman was foolish for making the decision
at his age.
He said that Linda was acting on her own, but it meant that anything else was still better than Norman.
Norman’s expression was frosty. James was clearly backing him into a corner on purpose.
He inhaled and explained uncomfortably. “Linda saw that I was worrying over this at home and told Mr.
Wickam about the situation. They are in a relationship. He will be a part of the family soon. You should
understand…”
Those siding with Norman kept quiet as they knew had heard of the insider information.
“Understand?” Jessie scoffed. “Mr. Benett, that’s an interesting thing for you to say. Confidential
information should remain confidential, even between a husband and his wife. This is an internal
cooperation issue within the company. The young lady is allowed to vent about the matter to Mr. Wickam,
but is there a need to explain every single plan and detail to him?”
The veins on Norman’s forehead pulsed as if they were about to explode.
