My Billionaire Mom

"There are still some things I haven't dealt with. The payroll and training lists have yet to be completed." Yvette Jordan couldn't leave like this. She had given her life's efforts to the company, so how could she just leave like that?

Dread frowned and asked, "How many days do you need?"

He was going to find someone to take over the company. It would probably get him 300,000 to 500,000 dollars.

"Four days." Yvette sighed. She didn't know how to tell this to Chuck Cannon.

"Four days? Is that enough?"

Dread suddenly sneered. He planned to let Yvette deal with these and at least pay the salaries of the employees. He wouldn't want anything unexpected to happen.

He snickered, "Do you want me to give you a few more days? You just have to accompany me once and I'll give you all the time you need. What do you say?"

Yvette said nothing but just stared at him sharply. Dread felt uncomfortable and quickly snorted, "Four days it is then! I'll come back in four days and you'd better transfer the company's ownership to me properly. If you still mope around here after it's done, don't blame me for throwing you out by force! Come on!"

Dread left with his men.

Yvette sat down and stared blankly at her office. She had sat here for ages, but now everything seemed different since the company was no longer hers. She struggled to hold back her tears. She thought to herself, "It's alright if the company is gone, I could still make money and open another one. It's fine, it's not a big deal ..."

However, no amount of comforting was enough to stop her tears from flowing. She was extremely upset. The company's business has just gotten better recently but none of it mattered anymore since it was no longer hers.

She wiped away her tears and really wanted to call Chuck, but she just couldn't bring herself to call him. She was about to tuck her phone away when she noticed a message from the 'baller' transferring another 700,000 dollars to her.

Yvette sighed. She needed money to process the employee's payroll, so she had no choice to accept the money. She hesitated but soon accepted the money. However, she made sure to return 600,000 dollars back to him. Now that she had lost her company, so she didn't need so much money.

She sent a message to the 'baller' telling him that she would pay him the money back in a month.

100,000 dollars plus 500,000 dollars was a total of 600,000 dollars of debt. Yvette felt bitter for owing so much money. She definitely had to plan properly in a month or she would never be able to return the money.

She also had another problem. How was she supposed to tell Chuck?

Yvette was sullen. In fact, she really wanted Chuck to come over and ask him to help her solve this issue. However, she already told him last night that she would solve it herself. If Chuck came over, he would definitely be disappointed by her. Yvette did not dare to take that risk.

She took a deep breath and called in all the staff.

Then, she started telling them the inevitable truth, "I'm really sorry, there's been some problems in the company. Everyone, please finish up your work in four days and I'll pay your salaries accordingly." As soon as she said that, all the staff were surprised! It was too hard to understand!

"What? Director Jordan, wasn't the company doing well recently? How could there be a problem?"

"Yes, Director Jordan, what's wrong with the company?"

"A personal problem," Yvette admitted, feeling even more resentful. Just yesterday, she was doing things in the company confidently, but in just 24 hours the company's ownership had changed. It was as though she was going on a terrible roller coaster that left her depressed and anxious for the future.

"Alas! I didn't expect that working here will soon become a memory. It's been three years..." An employee sighed.

"Yeah, it's too sudden. Director Jordan, since the company is gone, what are you planning to do next? Are you gonna start another business elsewhere?"

"We'll follow you wherever you go, Director Jordan."

"That's right, I'll follow you."

The staffs expressed their opinions one after another. Yvette was moved, but how would she have the money to start another company now? Once she paid their salaries, she would only be left with around 10 to 20 thousand dollars. What could she even do with it?

Yvette shook her head and said, "Sorry, unfortunately I have no such plans yet."

The staff sighed, "That's a pity!" Although Yvette didn't have a good temper, she always made sure to separate personal feelings from work. They were also treated extremely well in the company and trusted Yvette's decision.

However, since Yvette did not have a plan in mind, they had no choice but to look for another job.

Everyone walked out dejectedly. Yvette sat down and spaced out. She tried to calm herself down and told herself it was fine to start all over again. Everything would be fine.

It was only then that she started calculating the employees' salaries and planned her budget for the month. She was determined to make some money.

Chuck was initially very happy after Yvette accepted the money, but the happiness soon turned to confusion after she transferred 600,000 dollars back to him. What was going on?

He guessed that Yvette still refused to let him help. Chuck knew that she was very independent, so he did not reply her. Since she was so stubborn, he would just respect her decision. After all, she would definitely tell him on Whatsapp if she was in a predicament.

He had just arrived at the boxing ring. He remembered how he thought the place was pretty remote the first time he came. However, when he parked his car and came down, he saw an acquaintance whom he wasn't very fond of. It seemed that this place was not that remote after all.

It was Quinn's assistant, whom Chuck had slapped a few days ago. Chuck saw him sneaking around in an alley and meeting up with a weird person. After exchanging a few words, they shook hands as though he had come to a consensus. The assistant's had a lewd smile on his face and a red bottle in his hand. What on earth were they doing?

Chuck was curious. All of a sudden, he recalled seeing Quinn Miller and her assistant walking out from the elevator last time. The assistant's gaze was fixated on Quinn's buttocks. It made Chuck's skin crawl. Could the small bottle contain that sort of medicine? Chuck was not a fool and he immediately knew what it was. He snickered. Quinn had tried to force him to kneel and apologize to her. Now, the tables had turned and she was about to get drugged and violated by her assistant. How interesting!

Despite seeing this, Chuck did not bother to butt in. He pretended that he didn't see anything and headed to the boxing ring instead. He had thought of following the assistant just to see what would happen but felt it was inappropriate of him to do so. Oh well, time to learn boxing!

"Boss, I've looked into Chuck as per your orders but found nothing. I can't find out the relationship between him and Karen Lee at all." The assistant said while secretly taking glances at Quinn's supple thighs. "Nothing?" Quinn's expression darkened. She hesitated after learning about Karen's powers. Karen was definitely richer than her. Quinn was still pondering on how to purchase Chuck's plaza. This was why she had been frustrated for several days. Firstly, she couldn't stand the humiliation from that incident last time and secondly, she really liked the plaza.

The assistant replied, "Yes, I think Karen must've blocked any access to Chuck Cannon's information."

Quinn was angry. She had to get the plaza at all costs!

Quinn ordered, "Prepare the purchase plan immediately!"

"Yes. However, there are still some other places which are available. Will you be interested in them, boss?"

"No, I'll think about them later. What I want to buy now is the plaza!"

"Yes, boss, please drink some water and don't be angry. I will prepare the plan immediately." The assistant said while bringing over a bottle of water.

Quinn was not the type to drink water from an opened bottle. Therefore, the assistant had prepared beforehand and placed the drug inside in advance. He deliberately twisted the bottle cap open as though it was a new bottle of water. Quinn glanced at him and then took a sip.

She then plopped herself down and ordered, "Get out and prepare the plan! I want to buy the plaza in a week. If you can't do it then scram!"

"Yes..." The assistant nodded but deliberately stayed in the room. When he saw Quinn blushing, he suddenly sneered.

Quinn shouted at him, "What are you still doing here? Get out!"

"Boss, it's not that I don't want to go out. I'm just worried that you'll have to call me back later, so I might as well just stay in the room!" "What... what did you make me drink just now?" Quinn felt that something was wrong. She glowered at him angrily.
