Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 621

Chapter 621: Chapter 621

Hunter wore a complicated expression as he heard the news.

Just then, Julian knocked and entered. Hunter hung up the phone to hear Julian report,

"Miss Rose’s car just pulled into the garage, Mr. Collins. Some of the subsidiary heads have concerns about Miss Rose never attending the regular meetings. Should I address it before she arrives?"

"No need," Hunter replied in a nonchalant tone. "I will explain."

"I’ll go get Miss Rose now. It would be helpful for someone to guide Rosemary on her first visit to the corporation."

"I will go."

Hunter rose and left the office immediately.

Julian hadn’t expected Hunter to take care of even this small matter personally. It seemed he truly spoiled his sister.

After parking her car, Rosemary received a call from Jack.

"Miss Rose, we’ve found out about Carol’s family background. I’ve sent the information to you. If our people got it right, this is definitely her family."

Rosemary was swamped with work, and to make things worse, Serena had been giving her trouble these past few days.

"Miss Rose, are you going overseas again? This time it’s—?"

"My grandfather’s illness."

Jack understood and didn’t inquire further, but he was contemplating how to extract her grandfather’s address from her so he could secretly arrange for protection.

After all, as long as that group of people remained, every day held danger for Rosemary.

"No need to arrange for anyone. I can handle it myself," Rosemary said, ending the call before Jack could protest.

There were many elevators from the parking lot to the upper floors. Rosemary took the closest one, C2, and according to the floor guide inside the elevator, she went directly to the 20th floor.

Even though she had visited the McMillian Corporation before, the Collins Corporation impressed her on her first visit. It was grand and beautiful.

Meanwhile, Hunter had descended to the basement from the C1 exclusive elevator. Seeing that his sister’s car was parked there, he assumed she had gone upstairs.

Julian was surprised at Miss Rose’s speed. Seeing the C2 elevator stopped on the 20th floor, he knew without a doubt that Miss Rose was heading straight to the conference room.

"Mr. Collins, shall we proceed to the conference room?"

"Hmm."

As Rosemary stepped into the conference room, all eyes turned toward her.

The conference room was spacious and well-lit. Over twenty subsidiary heads sat around an oval table—these were the highest-ranking officials of the Collins Corporation’s subsidiaries in Summerfield.

The heads of other subsidiaries in national and international cities would join meetings at the corporation at different times, not participating in today’s meeting.

Rosemary hadn’t expected everyone besides her and Hunter to be present, let alone that her seat was right next to Hunter’s.

As soon as she sat down, the snide comments began.

"So this is the notorious Ms. Rose? It’s a pleasure to finally meet you in person."

"Young people sure do things differently. I heard you rarely show up at the office, yet you still draw a salary every month."

"Not even attending regular meetings. I wonder—how does one get such treatment?"

"We here are always working day in and day out, like spinning tops. Everyone is either losing hair or gaining weight. You seem to be in quite good shape—your work must be relaxing."

At the entrance, Hunter—his eyes suddenly icy—didn’t expect this crowd to dare speak about his sister in such a way.

Julian, too, was surprised at the number of people who had turned against Ms. Rose. He was about to intervene when a lazy voice rang out from inside.

Rosemary’s gaze swept over everyone as she stated nonchalantly,

"There are many reasons for hair loss, and weight gain just means you’re eating too much. If you want better treatment, work harder. Stop being so two-faced.

When you make progress, the people around you will recognize that. Besides, whether I am in good shape or not has nothing to do with whether I’m lazy.

If you guys are spending so much time at work, it just means you’re not competent enough."

Hearing this, Julian was surprised but also secretly gave Ms. Rose a thumbs-up in his heart.

Indeed, she had the same aura as anyone from the Collins family.

Hunter was also surprised at his sister’s eloquence, his eyes softening.

But the rest of the crowd was not pleased. They all stood up in anger.

"You little brat! Speaking so audaciously—are you implying that you’re better than us?"

"Have you achieved more than us?"

"Do you dare to say we eat too much and move too little? We were working before you were even born!"

"I’ve been around for a long time, which means I’ve been with this corporation for many years. My abilities have been recognized by Mr. Collins—that’s why I’ve been able to hold this position for so long.

And you, a little kid, dare to talk to me like this? Where are your manners? Has no one ever taught you manners?"

In the face of everyone’s criticism, Rosemary remained as calm as ever.

"Respect is mutual. From the moment I stepped into this meeting room, which one of you has shown me any respect?

You are all older than me, yet you’re giving me a hard time.

In terms of experience, you’re giving a hard time to a newcomer.

You have more experience than me, but it seems that maturity and wisdom have nothing to do with age—it depends on the person."

As Rosemary finished speaking, the room went silent.

She leaned back, radiating an aura of authority.

"You all represent the highest authority of the subsidiaries of the Collins Corporation, yet you behave like impulsive teenagers. Shouldn’t you be more cautious?

If you feel that I have better treatment and you’re not satisfied, why not express your feelings to the higher-ups? Do you think I can give you a raise or approve your holiday?

Those who are brave enough—why not just quit instead of wasting time here?"

Standing at the door, Julian was surprised by Ms. Rose’s audacity. She had left the crowd speechless.

Hunter also didn’t expect his sister to have such courage and authority. No wonder she could manage her subordinates so well—those veterans were no match for her.

"Moreover, to my knowledge, some of you have clawed your way up from the bottom of the company over the course of decades to reach your current positions.

Some of you have been transferred from the group to subsidiary companies and have been in charge for seven or eight years.

To my understanding, the achievements you’ve made during your tenure are indeed not as brilliant as mine in the past six months."

As she spoke, all eyes turned to her, surprised at her audacity.

Indeed, ever since she took over the Group, she had made one big move after another.

Under her leadership, the company had transformed from a state of near-death to an industry benchmark.

Its net profit each month was higher than their companies’, leading them to once suspect she was fabricating data.
