My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 46

As Kimberly looked at the tearful woman in front of her, she couldn’t help but feel a profound sense of

sadness and disappointment. It struck her that the saying “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” held

true.

At this point, Kimberly couldn’t help but feel exasperated, and she spoke with a firm tone. “Why did you

wait until now? If apologies and tears could solve everything, who needs the police?”

Upon hearing Kimberly’s words, Whitney slumped to the ground, a clear sign that this time, the former

was firmly aligned with justice.

At that particular moment, the most complex issue revolved around how to deal with Whitney.

Termination of her employment didn’t seem like a viable solution.

After all, Yandel had just sent her for training, and letting her go abruptly would have come across as

disrespectful to him.

Nevertheless, due to the scandal, it became apparent that, despite her connection to the Larson family,

Whitney was no longer considered a suitable candidate in the eyes of the company headquarters.

There was but a single solution, and Kimberly reached a decision on the spot; she would facilitate a

transfer for Whitney to the Norham subsidiary.

She was confident that even Yandel would agree to this choice.

From point

Yandel Larsons of view, young people needed to accumulate more

experience and confront challenges.

It was only through such experiences that they could be considered adequately prepared for

substantial responsibilities.

Nonetheless, before going public with her decision, Kimberly felt it essential to have a conversation

with Uncle William. She believed it was important to seek his perspective. and show respect.

The crucial factor was that William was the most appropriate person to manage this

matter.

William received a call from Kimberly, still oblivious to Whitney’s misguided actions.

When he reached his office and was informed of Kimberly’s proposal to transfer Whitney to the Norham

subsidiary, he was utterly stunned.

However, once he discovered the extent of Whitney’s mistake, he had no choice but to accept it.

This situation was beyond his control.

William remained distressed as he returned to his own office.

Upon entering, he was taken aback to discover his beloved daughter sobbing right there in his office.

Seeing her in such a state, he couldn’t bring himself to scold her harshly any longer. He walked over

and embraced Whitney, murmuring, “My silly girl, why did you act so recklessly? Even if your design

work wasn’t exceptional, it wouldn’t have been a big issue. Why did you feel the need to resort to such

a desperate course of action? Kimberly and I just had a discussion, and she’s considering transferring

you to the Norham subsidiary.”

Upon learning that she was being transferred to a remote location, Whitney promptly pulled away from

William’s embrace.

Even though she had understood the point, she sought confirmation.

“What did you say? Where is Kimberly sending me? I joined the company because it was Grandpa’s

choice.”

At this moment, she had no choice but to cling desperately to Yandel Larson for support.

Faced with Whitney’s intense reaction, William felt compelled to lay out the pros and cons for her.

“Going there is just a temporary solution to avoid the current situation, not a lifelong commitment. After

some time, I’ll speak to your grandpa, and we can arrange for your

return.

He added, “At this moment, we must keep this from your grandpa. He detests deceitful and

unscrupulous behavior the most. If he becomes upset, he might even disown you. In the Norham

subsidiary, you’ll at least have an executive role. From that perspective, it’s better than remaining as a

junior designer in this design department.”

Hearing William’s explanation, Whitney began to see some merit in it.

Since even William couldn’t do much, Whitney could only treat it as a vacation.

As she gradually came around to the idea, William felt a sense of relief.

Whitney had indeed been spoiled by him. At this moment, he couldn’t help but regret how his

indulgence had played a part in her current behavior.

Compared to Cameron’s daughter, Kimberly, they were like night and day.

In the reception room of the Coleman Group in Baykeep, Gregory, along with Daniel Xander arrived

punctually for their scheduled visit.

As the CEO of a company, Gregory was well-versed in business negotiations.

Although today’s discussion might not be presented as a formal business negotiation, it essentially

boiled down to one.

While on the surface, they were talking about their children’s marriage of convenience, it was inevitable

that it would touch upon the current and future collaboration between. their families.

Melvin was not one to mince words, and he held the upper hand in this situation.

“Mr. Xander, when it comes to our children, I respect their opinions. Since they are in love and it’s a

new era, arranged marriages are no longer necessary. Daniel Xander is an exceptional young man, full

of talent and potential. With time, he will undoubtedly achieve great things. However, I do have a small

request.”

The earlier sentences were like music to Gregory’s cars.

Nevertheless, as he heard the last sentence, an unsettling feeling crept over him. It gave him the

impression that something was awry as if he might be walking into a trap.

Melvin took a sip of coffee, paused briefly, and then added. “I hope that once Marissa and Daniel

Xander are married, Xander Group can be led by Daniel Xander. As I mentioned earlier. Daniel Xander

is an exceptional young man, but he needs opportunities. We are growing older, and it’s time to allow

these young people to explore and excel. As the old saying goes, the student surpasses the master.”

With each word that Melvin spoke, there was a smile in his eyes.

On the other hand, Gregory’s features seemed to scrunch together, making him look. rather

unpleasant.

He had not foreseen that Melvin would present such a demanding condition.

It felt like an overstep, as this was fundamentally a family matter for the Xander family.

Soon, Gregory made an effort to wear a forced smile on his face and said, “Melvin, my friend, your

suggestion has merit. However, for my son to take on such a responsibility, it may need some time. I

have been diligently preparing him to be my successor, but the moment isn’t exactly ripe at the

present.”

Gregory was avoiding the direct issue, but Melvin didn’t afford him any courtesy. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

He looked at Daniel Xander and said, “Young people have great potential, much like my own son,

Noah. Initially, he was all about partying and indulgence, but when I entrusted him with responsibilities,

he truly made me see him in a new light.”

If Noah were to find out that Melvin had set him up as an example, he might have burst into laughter in

the middle of a dream.

After all, their household was typically a whirlwind of chaotic mishaps, with everyone often exasperated

by his failure.

“A man must bear responsibilities, that’s how he matures into a responsible person. Only then I can

have peace of mind when it comes to giving my beloved daughter’s hand in marriage. You may have

heard that in the Coleman family, we’ve always had more sons and very few daughters. That’s why

everyone dotes on her. Naturally, we won’t be lax when it comes to her marriage.”

At this point, even though Melvin’s words were laced with subtlety, the message was undeniably clear.

If Gregory wanted his son to marry Melvin’s daughter, then the former needed to step down and

surrender his position.

Otherwise, this matter was not open for negotiation.

Gregory suddenly felt at a loss and gave Daniel Xander a meaningful look as he thought, ‘If this brat

ends up being the one in charge in the future, what will happen to

me?

At this point, he regretted not being more affectionate toward Daniel Xander in the

past.

Since he had no other choice at the current moment, at the very least, by agreeing to let Daniel Xander

take charge, Xander Group would continue to carry the Xander family

name.

If the marriage of convenience with the Coleman family failed, Xander Group would

cease to exist.

At this point, Gregory could only take things one step at a time.
