The True Heiress's Return

A Classic Meatloaf Recipe with the Best Glaze Sponsored: CoolinarcoHeiress's Return 330 Chapter 330 For a moment, everyone's faces changed. Before they could react, Yvette approached a few people from the second team, looking quite pleased with herself. Maris and the other team members immediately put on cold expressions, and an invisible tension pulled between the groups.

An older employee, Lily, addressed Maris with no courtesy, "Maris, we need to hold a big meeting. Could you let us have the NI conference room this afternoon?" Although she was asking, her tone was arrogant and dismissive. Maris responded with a forced smile, "We need it for a meeting. Why should we give it up just because you say so?" Lily let out a smug laugh. "Oh, Maris, haven't you heard? Yvette successfully persuaded the core members of Virmo to cooperate with us. Of course, we need a big meeting to prepare for tomorrow's project kickoff." This news made Maris and her team's faces darken even more with rage. "What's your group's deal? Can't you use your Ortiz family connections and stop poaching the Virmo project from us?" "Poaching? If you've got the ability, anyone can land it," laughed the second group. Lily mocked them with a disdainful smile, "You couldn't secure the cooperation, and now you're mad we did what's best for the company?" Yvette stepped between both groups, acting as a peacemaker with a poised and graceful manner. "We're all colleagues in the sdepartment working for the company's benefit. Let's not get upset." She paused and then offered an apologetic smile, winking at Shakira who had remained silent the whole time. Yvette said, "Sorry, Shakira. After thinking about it last night, I realized that mixing personal feelings with professional tasks isn't right, so I decided against persuading the Ortiz family. "With a try-it attitude, I turned to Mr. Gordon's more interested Virmo, and unexpectedly I really convinced him." Her demeanor was both humble and resigned, subtly flaunting her connections and abilities. "Shakira, we're all working for the department's benefit. You're not mad at me, right?" Her performance was seamlessly polished, an act full of subtle vanity. Shakira had seen it all before and remained unfazed. "What you do is none of my business." Yvette flashed a bright smile. "As long as you're not mad at me. So, could you possibly persuade Maris? The biggest conference room we have is the N1. If you guys don't need it-" "Who said we don't need it?" Shakira casually interrupted her.

Yvette paused, and the second team behind her, feeling emboldened, chimed in, "You haven't secured anyone for the project, why hog such a big conference room? It's like a dog in the manger." Maris and her team were enraged but couldn't refute their brazen arrogance, turning red with frustration. After all, they did land the core team of Virmo.

Shakira, however, remained unbothered, raising an eyebrow. Speaking in a relaxed tone, she said slowly, "Oh, as it happens, I've also secured the core team of Virmo. We need to prepare for a project kickoff meeting." Yvette's haughty expression suddenly changed. Maris and her team were thrilled. "Really, Shakira? You managed to contact them?" Shakira replied, "Yeah, it's all set. They'll be here this afternoon.

"Fantastic!" Their spirits lifted, and they proudly faced the second team. "Now, who knows which group will land the project?" 1/3 111 59% Sat, Chapter 330 1 "What are you all doing, laughing so heartily instead of working Charles, George, and David happened to walk by and noticed the two groups gathered. Curious, they approached.

Maris stepped forward and explained the situation. Charles was elated. "Excellent! I never expected the elusive Virmo team to be courted by members from both groups. This collaboration is bound to proceed smoothly." George's face glowed with pride. "Shakira really is our team's lucky star. With her around, everything just falls into place." "This can't be true!" Yvette clenched her fists secretly and pointed at Shakira, insisting, "The core team of Virmo signed an agreement. As of now, only one person has left, bearing the penalty. How could you have secured a core member?" David chimed in with a meaningful tone, "So, are you saying the fourth team is lying?" George immediately jumped in to defend, "Impossible! Shakira is smart and reliable; she wouldn't make such a basic mistake." Charles frowned, "This is too important to get wrong. Has everything been verified?" Yvette replied, "Mr. Gordon, this core member was connected through Finn. I personally verified their identity, and there are no issues. As for the person Shakira found..." She hesitated, her eyes evasive, and didn't continue. Charles and the others felt a chill run through them, instantly drawing a conclusion. The connections between Finn from the Nelson family were beyond doubt.

As for Shakira, a mere intern, her most significant title was being top of her class at Crescentville University. There was a chance she'd been misled.

C Yvette's words also made George waver, glancing nervously at Shakira.

Facing suspicious looks from everyone, Shakira remained unfazed. "My contact is solid." Seeing her confidence, Charles wasn't sure how to proceed.

David smiled and suggested, "Mr. Gordon, since they're all part of the Virmo core team, why not have one joint project kickoff meeting this afternoon? We can involve the other teams as well.

"That way, everyone can see firsthand the talented individuals capable of such remarkable technology." George, however, wasn't thrilled. "A joint meeting? What about the project kickoff tomorrow?" David taunted him, "George, are you planning to secretly verify their authenticity and cup with an excuse if there's an issue by tomorrow?" "What nonsense! I absolutely trust Shakira!" George huffed, feeling caught. "Fine, a joint meeting it is! Just be careful it's not your team that has a problem, and don't expect any sympathy from us if that's the case." David snorted disdainfully, showing his contempt.

Charles spoke up, "Alright, it's settled. Prepare for the 2 PM meeting. Notify the entire department." "Yes, Mr. Gordon!" 2441 David led Yvette and her team out. George, still somewhat uneasy, kept double-checking with Shakira until he finally left, looking slightly dazed.

Twas ticking and all four teams were busy preparing the content for the afternoon meeting.

The morning flew by, and after lunch, everyone from the Marketing Department gathered in the M meeting room. It was packed, practically the whole department was there, ready to witness the big departmental showdown. 2/3 Sat, Chapter 330 59% +5 Charles, along with the four team leaders, sat in the front row. Shortly after, Yvette entered with a young man sporting a plaid shirt and black-rimmed glasses.

"Mr. Gordon, Mr. Harris, this is Mr.

Clark, the lead creator of Virmo," Yvette said. "Mr. Clark (is) the software ve enginee responsible for building Virmo." "Welcome, Mr. Clark." Charles's eyes brightened as he extended his hand with a smile.

Feeling confident about his project's success, David smugly glanced at George. "Hey George, where's your girl, Shakira? Didn't she find anyone to pitch for her and just ditched?" George's face turned dark, just about to retort when a lazy, mocking voice cfrom the door. "Well, well, I wondered who dared to flaunt the Virmo naround. And here you are."
