Chapter 455: Chapter 455: Taking Over Yiren Magazine
Samuel Lockwood?
Ivana Monroe widened her eyes, "How can Yiren Magazine be handed to that scumbag Lockwood?"
That scumbag Lockwood made Ivy leave with nothing!
There’s no way that scumbag should benefit; Yiren Magazine is the kingdom Ivy Linden worked hard to build.
Ivana decided to help Ivy Linden protect her "kingdom."
"Alright, I’ll accept this contract. But, Lawyer Robinson, I have another business matter to discuss with you."
"Haha... Sure, it’s my pleasure to assist Ms. Monroe."
Ivana shared her plan with Lawyer Robinson, which was essentially a financial safeguard. Ivana accepted the transfer contract, but all the profits from Yiren Magazine will be saved in a trust under "Ivy Linden’s" name every month. Lawyer Robinson’s job was to withdraw a portion of living expenses from the bank monthly and deposit it into Ivy Linden’s account.
Ivana didn’t want Ivy Linden and Nicole to live poorly in another city.
She hoped Ivy Linden and Nicole would live well, and in a few years, continue to thrive as affluent women. Ivana had already planned that in a few years, she’d have Lawyer Robinson withdraw all the funds from the trust and deposit them into Ivy Linden’s account as a gift to her.
She saw Lawyer Robinson off.
Leon Keane returned and saw the transfer contract for Yiren Magazine, raising his eyebrows.
"What a troublemaker." Does his wife lack money? Does she need to take over Yiren Magazine? Ivy Linden must be finding something for his wife to do; Leon Keane even contemplated throwing the contract in Ivy Linden’s face.
"What did you say?" Ivana asked.
"Nothing."
Leon Keane smiled at Ivana, not daring to speak the truth.
His wife was very protective of Ivy; if he repeated himself, and Ivana heard it clearly, he’d be in trouble.
Leon Keane walked up to Ivana, wrapped an arm around her waist gently, and sat on the sofa, with Ivana sitting on his lap.
Leon Keane said with concern, "Honey, you’re already busy enough with GK. Where will you find the time to manage Yiren Magazine? How about I send someone to find Ivy Linden and give Yiren Magazine back to her?"
Ivana frowned and gave him a light punch, "Don’t disturb Ivy."
Seeing Ivana’s disapproval, Leon Keane smiled, said nothing more, and internally cursed Ivy Linden for giving his wife more things to deal with for no reason.
At Yiren Magazine.
Chloe Lockwood reached over and grabbed a draft issue of the magazine, seeing that the finalized cover was featuring GK’s clothes, and her face turned sour, tearing the cover off immediately: "What the hell is this? It’s so ugly."
Claire Chandler was shocked. She had made the cover, and seeing her hard work destroyed by Chloe Lockwood, she angrily said, "Chloe Lockwood, are you crazy?"
Chloe Lockwood picked up the draft magazine, smacking it on Claire Chandler’s face: "You’re the one who made the cover, right? You have the nerve to put such an ugly thing on Yiren Magazine? If you can’t do it, get out."
Instantly, all eyes in the office turned in this direction.
Claire Chandler’s face got slapped with the thick magazine, her fair skin turning red. She clenched her fist, "Chloe Lockwood, who do you think you are? What gives you the right to boss us around here? My performance isn’t for you to judge; only Ms. Linden can say that."
Other employees chimed in.
"Exactly, Chloe Lockwood, don’t go too far. Yiren Magazine doesn’t belong to the Lockwood family. If you want to throw your weight around, go do it at your cousin Samuel Lockwood’s company."
"President Lockwood runs a law firm. What degree does Chloe Lockwood have? Seems like it’s from a third-rate university, right? Qualified to boss around lawyers?"
"She just uses the slightest authority to act bossy here."
Facing collective ridicule.
Chloe Lockwood wasn’t angered but scorned at those mocking her, thinking they’re all Ivy Linden’s lackeys. Too bad that these pitiful lackeys probably didn’t know Ivy Linden had already been kicked out; this "Yiren Magazine" was said by the matriarch to be entirely managed by her.
In other words, she would replace Ivy Linden to become the owner of Yiren Magazine.
Chloe Lockwood raised her hand, pointing at the talking employees, and said sinisterly: "You all don’t want to work, huh? Well, settle your wages this month and get out."
"Chloe Lockwood, what right do you have?"
"We’re employees of President Linden; who do you think you are?"
"You’re not in a position to fire us."
Claire Chandler and a few employees wouldn’t buy it.
Chloe Lockwood sneered: "Ivy Linden, huh? Didn’t she tell you guys that she was kicked out by Samuel Lockwood? And she left with nothing! Yiren Magazine isn’t hers anymore."
Claire Chandler and the others were completely stunned.
"This can’t be."
"President Lockwood and President Linden get along so well. How is that possible?"
"I can’t believe it."
Chloe Lockwood internally cursed these idiots: "Believe it or not, but from now on, I am the General Manager of Yiren Magazine. If you’re not okay with me, I have the right to fire all of you. Now, leave!"
Seeing the paleness in their faces, Chloe Lockwood felt great, finally being able to show off and breathe freely. What a scene it would be if one day Ivy Linden returned to find this; would Ivy Linden be so mad she’d vomit blood? Or die on the spot?
Hahaha...
Chloe Lockwood swaggered into Ivy Linden’s office, throwing all of Ivy’s things on the floor before sitting in the chair meant for her.
"Someone, burn all of Ivy Linden’s things; I find them an eyesore."
In came a sycophant.
"Yes, President Lockwood."
The sycophant swiftly switched allegiances, immediately siding with Chloe Lockwood.
In the employee office, Claire Chandler and a few others talked.
"If it’s true, what will we do?"
"Let’s leave! If there’s no Ms. Linden here, why should we stay and endure Chloe Lockwood’s tyranny?"
"We can’t leave. What if... what if President Linden comes back? Do you really want to stand by and watch Chloe Lockwood ruin Yiren Magazine? This is President Linden’s hard-earned kingdom!"
At this moment.
A slender figure walked in.
"You’re right, no one is leaving, nor do they need to leave. Yiren Magazine won’t fall into other hands; it will always belong to Ivy Linden." The woman was beautiful, and her words seemed magical, smiling slightly, as if she could conquer through charisma: "Let me introduce myself; I’m the acting manager of Yiren Magazine... Ivana Monroe."
Claire Chandler and the others were stunned, seeing Ivana, they all exclaimed, "Ah~ Ah~" excitedly.
"Goddess of idols, you are our President Linden’s idol goddess."
"Ah~ You’re also my idol goddess."
"The idol goddess came just in time. I knew Yiren Magazine couldn’t possibly fall into Chloe Lockwood’s hands."
Several employees squealed like excited prairie dogs, their eyes shining as they looked at Ivana.
Chloe Lockwood described as a dog?
That was music to her ears; she loved it.
"Who can take me to Ivy’s office?" Ivana asked with a smile.
"Me~"
"Me."
"Me."
Everyone scrambled to raise their hands, and Ivana chose Claire Chandler, who was overjoyed as if she’d won the lottery, coming beside Ivana, her face flushed.
The idol goddess was just too beautiful, and even as a woman, she found herself overwhelmed.
