Henry had connections on both sides of the law,
If he gave the word for them to jump ship, the department heads www better than to put up a fight.
Austyn knew this was just a warning from Henry.
He was trying to send a message-no matter how powerful Austyn thought he was, his father was still the one calling the shots in Stamford.
Austyn sneered. 'If they want to leave, let them. Put the names of those who resigned on a blacklist. They are not to be allowed back into the company, ever."
'But Boss, what about the clients? Shouldn't we do something? Kal's face was grave. I think they are going to need reassurances from you. I can arrange a face-to-face meeting with them this after-
'No.' Austyn shook his head. 'No meetings. I can't leave Kira right now
'But Bosa!! Kai was agitated. These are some of our biggest clients! If we just stand by and do nothing, they might tum to Revency!!
Liam Cane was not going to stop with just poaching the M Group's employers
He was already getting in touch with the company's clients.
Revency was less well-established than the Midcoup, but Liam had money to burn and the backing from Henry McCarthy,
"Who says I'm not doing anything?' Austyn gestured for Kai to hand over his tablet. Just give me their names. I'll email them.'
"Is that going to be enough?
Austyn was unconcemed. "If they abandon the M Group for some small, one-time concessions Liam promised them, they are short-sighted and not the kind of clients I want to keep anyway. If they insist on leaving, it's their right." Kai held back a sigh.
He knew Boss was right, but still, if Boss returned to the company and took charge, they could have minimised the losses.
A single account lost could represent millions of dollars of revenue forgone
Austyndidn't give his assistant the chance to talk him around.
He pushed open the door and got out.
Kai followed Austyn's line of sight and saw Kira and her friend Giana
They'd just walked out of the apartment block
Giana nodded greeting at Austyn.
He came up to them. 'Where are you going?'
Kita walked past him without sparing him a glance.
Austyn knitted his brown.
He followed her.
Kira kept going until she'd found a print shop.
she went inside.
Austyn was about to go in when Gana stopped him, Mr McCarthy, we need to talk.'
Austyn glanced at her.
"Did did the two of you have a big fight? Giana kept her voice down. And what about Kira's father? The news of his passing away is just so..sudden."
Glana was aware of Leland's comatose condition.
When she heard about his death, she thought his body had finally given up the fight.
Hull now it appeared that there was much more to the story.Exclusive content from .
Kira wasn't just grleving.
She was also mad at hell.
Sign The Divorce Panets
And Glana sensed that a large part of that anger was directed at Austyn
"She didn't tell you?" Austyn fixed his gaze on Kira, who had her back to him.
She was talking to the shopkeeper behind the counter, waving a thumb drive in her hand.
'No. I tried asking, but she broke down in tears every time."
Austyn recalled Kira's putty eyes,
She had been crying on and off for three whole days.
Her body must be beyond drained.
'Did she have breakfast?"
Glana sighed. "No. She said she didn't have an appetite, I didn't want to force her."
Austyn parsed his lips.
A trace of anger flashed across his eyes.
How could Kira do this to herself?
He would rather that she take it out on him than on herself
She was punishing herself by not eating.
Before Glana could repeat her question, Kira came out of the store, clutching a piece of paper in her hand.
She walked up to Austyn. 'Take a look. If you have no objections, please sign at the bottom.
Austyn took the paper with a sinking feeling in his heart
The first paragraph confirmed his worst fear
'This divorce settlement agreement is made and entered into as of"
He swayed on his feet.
Kira's voice was devoid of any emotion. I know businessmen like you won't agree to a divorce so fast because you're concerned about the division of assets and stuff. So I made it easy for you! She pointed to the second paragraph. "I give up claims on all assets, whatever they are. I won't ask for a penny from you."
She married him with nothing
It was only right she left him in the same way.
Once you sign, I'll mail the papers to a family court to make it official.
Austyn heard every word, but her voice seemed to come from underwater.
Blood pounded in his temples.
Glana shuffled away, frightened by the look on his face.
She tugged at Kira's arm and whispered, 'What are you doing?
The Way The World fully Works
The Way The World Really Works
Couples quarrelled.
That was just par for the course
Eva Giana and Noal would get into an occasional spat.
But she would never throw words like "I want a break-up' in his face.
