Chapter 1191 A Joke
Just as Jacob was about to speak, the blond-haired man stepped forward and bowed respectfully. “Hello, Ms. Moore.”
Immediately after that, the employees of Sann Group behind him shouted in unison, “Hello, Ms. Moore!”
Earlier, Jacob was speaking to Arielle in Chanaean. Hence, the blond-haired man did not understand their conversation. However, when he saw the change of expression on Arielle’s face, he immediately tried to save the situation by greeting her.
As soon as they finished greeting their boss, Jacob scratched his head and asked, “Why are you calling her that? Where’s your boss, anyway?”
There’s only the chauffeur and that blondie, Arielle, in front of me.
Jacob’s pupils constricted at that thought, and he stared at Arielle in disbelief. “You… You…”
No way! It can’t be! How could Sann Group’s CEO be Arielle? There must be a misunderstanding here, right?
To his surprise, Arielle beamed. “You can stop looking around now, Mr. Campbell. I’m the CEO of Sann Group. The name I use in other countries is San.”
Jacob’s eyes widened in shock. His legs were so weak that he even needed help from the bodyguard beside him to stand properly.
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect Sann Group’s boss to be a woman. Not to mention, the woman was Arielle.
“No way! It’s impossible!” Jacob shook his head like a madman, his face flushed with panic.
If Arielle is the Sann Group’s boss, then how am I going to fight against her? Am I even worthy of snatching her position away? I’d just become a laughingstock.
Similarly, the directors behind him were shocked beyond words. It was apparent that everyone was shaken by Arielle’s sudden identity revelation.
Especially the directors who sided with Jacob. Their faces had gone pale from the news.
Isn’t Arielle going to step down from her position soon? Didn’t Jacob acquire this collaboration on his own?
It was at that moment that they realized they had been fooled.
One of the directors lost his temper and grabbed Jacob by the collar, scolding, “Jacob! You better explain this properly. What exactly is going on?”
If it was not because of what Jacob said during last night’s drinking session, many of them would have been swayed and sided with Arielle. They were determined to side with him because Jacob said he acquired the collaboration on his own.
And now, the staff from Sann Group was telling them that Arielle was the CEO of the company.
The legendary person was the blond-haired girl they had always looked down upon.
Hearing that, Jacob paled. He still found it hard to believe. “It’s a mistake… There must be a mistake…”
Perplexed, the blond-haired man asked Arielle, “Ms. Moore, what’s wrong with Mr. Campbell?”
Arielle merely smiled. “Maybe Mr. Campbell isn’t feeling well. Looks like he won’t be able to sign the contract today.”
She turned to the director, who was grabbing Jacob’s collar, and asked, “May I know if you’re available to sign the contract with us in Mr. Campbell’s place? We’re in quite a rush. I’m afraid we can’t wait till he recovers.”
The director immediately understood what she meant.
She was giving them another chance to pick a side.
The director nodded firmly. “Of course! Of course, we have time! We were waiting here just for your arrival. Please, come in!”
“Wait…” Jacob returned to his senses and said, “What gives you the right to replace m—”
Before he could even finish, the director ordered his bodyguard, “Mr. Campbell isn’t feeling well. Please bring him to the hospital for a check-up.”
