Chapter 75: Chapter 74 Zade Radcliffe’s Scheme 1

Translator: 549690339

The next day, as soon as it was light, Quella Radcliffe woke up.

By that time, Julius Reed had already made breakfast and was waiting for her in the dining hall.

Seeing the scene before her, Quella Radcliffe felt the warmth of home for the first time.

Here, there was no quarreling between her parents, only fullness of happiness.

This was their world, their home.

Regarding the incident from the day before, it was as if both of them had a tacit understanding, neither bringing it up.

By the time the couple arrived at the company, they found that the employees had already started working early.

There was still over an hour left until the official start of work, and this unusual sight made Quella Radcliffe very curious.

“President Radcliffe!”

Along the way, employees they met all greeted them.

It wasn’t that they wanted to, it was just that Julius Reed’s actions the day before were too violent!

He didn’t just beat up Otis Radcliffe publicly but also dragged the Potter Family’s son out.

Everyone thought that the bloody revenge of the Potter Family would cause Julius Reed to evaporate from the Mortal World.

Yet to everyone’s surprise, they saw him first thing in the morning, coming to work with Quella Radcliffe as if nothing had happened.

Since the two of them would be kicked out in another couple days anyway, the employees couldn’t be bothered to make themselves uncomfortable.

Greeting him with “President Radcliffe” didn’t cost them anything.

“President Radcliffe, everyone is saying that Golden Eagle Group is going to make a move on us. Do you have any countermeasures?”

After reaching the office, a director came to Quella Radcliffe’s room and asked.

News had already broken the day before that Golden Eagle Group was about to start a corporate war with Radcliffe Group. Now that Quamaine Potter had been beaten up for the second time within Radcliffe Group, the Potter Family definitely wouldn’t let the matter rest.

People in this circle all had their own networks.

Some employees who had friends in Golden Eagle Group heard that Stanislaus Potter had already finished his meetings the night before, and was officially making a move today.

The news spread from one person to ten, then from ten to a hundred, creating widespread panic.

They had come in early that day just to discuss countermeasures.

Some even preferred to jump ship!

After all, at this age, they had elders to take care of and children to raise; the pressure of unemployment was too great.

But there was also another voice within the company, which was to request Zade Radcliffe back and kick the troublesome couple, Quella and her husband, out!

That way, they could appease the Potter Family’s anger and get rid of the troublesome couple at the same time.

Many among them were part of Otis Radcliffe’s camp and naturally supported Otis Radcliffe taking the position of Chairman.

The reason was simple: when Otis Radcliffe was in charge, everyone used to pocket money. Now that Quella Radcliffe had just taken the position of project manager, she started checking the accounts every day!

Moreover, with stringent audits, they couldn’t even think of taking a penny from the company.

Comparing the two situations, everyone preferred Otis Radcliffe to take charge. The rise and fall of the company had nothing to do with them; as long as they could get money from the group, they were content.

“I will personally decide on this matter. But I assure everyone that I won’t let your interests suffer,”

Quella Radcliffe knew that this was not just the director’s opinion but also that of many employees.

They just needed a representative to talk to her, the new Chairman.

“Good! I hope President Radcliffe can keep your word, and not abandon us by just walking away when the company is on the brink of life and death.”

After getting an answer, the director turned and walked out of the office.

“Why bother with them? These people obviously have ulterior motives, and

they have never truly regarded you as the Chairman.”

Julius Reed leaned on the sofa, pulling out his phone and constantly swiping.

“I know. But the company can’t afford to lose them. If we can’t stabilize their hearts, I’m afraid we might collapse before the Potter Family even makes a move,”

How could Quella Radcliffe not understand such reasoning?

But she had no choice, she couldn’t just overhaul the company, could she?

Not to mention whether she could stabilize her position as the chairperson, even if she did, it would be very difficult to make extensive personnel changes.

Moreover, once the Potter Family made a move, Radcliffe Group would inevitably collapse like a house of cards. Then, she could only obediently leave and hand over her position to Zade Radcliffe and Otis Radcliffe.

“Chairperson, I think there’s something I must report to you!”

Little Wang from the finance department hurried in, with a very ugly look on his face.

Among the few people in the company who were close to Quella Radcliffe, Little Wang was one of them.

She was an ordinary accountant in the finance department, responsible for tallying the payroll.

“Little Wang, take your time,” Quella Radcliffe said calmly.

Quella Radcliffe gestured for her not to rush.

“Chairperson, I felt something was off about the financial director. It wasn’t payday, yet she went to the bank early in the morning. After she left, I took advantage of the empty room, secretly turned on her computer, and discovered she was transferring money out!”

Little Wang’s face turned pale, and her voice got fainter and fainter.

“Three billion were transferred out of the company’s accounts in one go, completely severing our liquid funds!”

The Radcliffe Group wasn’t large in scale, with an estimated value of only about ten billion or so.

The three billion was nearly all of their group’s liquid capital; the rest were immovable assets and project investments.

Once they lost this liquid capital, the company would be in a deadlock.

The only solution would be to get a bank loan, but with the Potter Family’s move well-known by now, which bank would foolishly lend them money?

“Call the police! Call them immediately! There isn’t much time, we should be able to recover the money!”

Quella Radcliffe’s brows were tightly furrowed. Without this three billion in liquid funds, she had even less chance of winning.

“It’s no use! Although you are the chairperson in name now, you’re just an acting chairperson until the contract takes effect. The people in charge of the company are still Zade Radcliffe and Old Master Radcliffe.”

Little Wang said with some bitterness, “This asset transfer was carried out by finance only after the Old Master Radcliffe signed off. Even if we call the police, it is a legal action.”

Although at that time Zade Radcliffe and Quella Radcliffe made an agreement and it had been legally notarized.

But until the conditions of the contract were met, Zade Radcliffe was still the helmsman of the company.

Withdrawing all the liquid funds at this critical juncture was like pulling out the linchpin!

“Alright! You may go now, and don’t mention this to anyone. President Radcliffe and I will figure out a solution.”

Julius Reed nodded at Little Wang, indicating she could leave.

Transferring the funds wasn’t the scary part; what was terrifying was if someone in the company found out about it, no one knew what it could escalate into.

“Julius, what do we do now?”

Even the normally calm Quella Radcliffe was somewhat panicked upon hearing the news.

Losing all liquid funds was equivalent to sentencing Radcliffe Group to death.

“Experience comes with age! From the very beginning, Zade Radcliffe had planned for this. He knew well beforehand that the Radcliffe Group couldn’t be saved and prepared to cash out and leave.”

Once he thought about the cause and effect, Julius understood Zade Radcliffe’s intentions.

Every step had been well-planned by him, he was just waiting for Quella Radcliffe to step into the trap.

“Money is not an issue! This will be a good test of the employees’ loyalty. If they know about this, they will certainly make decisions in their own best interest. When that time comes, it will naturally become clear who stays and who leaves.”

“Wouldn’t that cause the company to collapse immediately?”

Quella Radcliffe was somewhat confused, logically, they should keep this a secret, but Julius seemed as if he couldn’t wait for the employees to find out.

“Just go ahead with it! Those who stay will naturally have a bright future, and those who leave will regret it deeply!”

After saying these words, Julius Reed left Quella Radcliffe’s office.

He took out his mobile phone and called Ovidiu Cook, “Transfer funds to Radcliffe Group immediately. As for the reason, you come up with one, just don’t make Quella Radcliffe suspicious. Also, send someone to Truman Ridge’s place. When you see him, just say ‘The traveler returns on a snovvy night,’ and he will naturally help you counter Golden Eagle Group..”
