Billionaire's Unforgettable Ex-Wife-Chapter 68 - 67: With You, I’ll Never Lose 2

Listening, listening, and then just fell asleep on the sofa.

Woke up to the endless ding-dong from the doorbell at the entrance.

Just as she was about to get up to open the door, Richard Townsend’s voice came from the door.

"Faye Townsend, open the door, I know you’re in there."

Faye opened the door with furrowed brows, looking sleepily at a furious Richard standing at the entrance.

She turned around, walked back into the room, and poured herself a glass of water.

Richard slammed the door, sat down on the sofa: "You still have the leisure to sleep.

Why didn’t you answer when I called you?

The company is a mess now, do you even care anymore?"

Faye rubbed her forehead. Her phone was on airplane mode because she didn’t want to be disturbed.

"What’s happened at the company again?"

"Oliver Turner and Hunter Warren have been at odds, didn’t you know?"

Faye sighed: "When did this happen?"

"Things have seemed off these past couple of days.

This afternoon they officially tore into each other.

Oliver Turner wants to develop the ship transportation industry at Anchester Port.

But Hunter Warren persuaded several directors not to approve.

Oliver Turner said if this development plan succeeds, it could bring Townsend Corporation an annual profit of 200 million.

But Hunter Warren argued that Townsend has never been in the maritime business.

Once this project starts, it might be impossible to stop.

Eventually, Townsend will become Turner Corporation.

Also, most of the business under Townsend would need to start from scratch again.

Because we don’t have the elite talent to establish ourselves in this area.

If you ask me, Hunter Warren is just meddling unnecessarily.

As long as we make money, why care about such trivial matters?

Is he deliberately opposing our Townsend Family?

Why did you choose such a troublesome person in the first place?

What do you plan to do now."

Richard was very angry, clearly not here to discuss solutions, but to find fault.

Faye exhaled: "Regarding this matter... I agree with Hunter Warren’s opinion."

"What?" Richard jumped up from the sofa glaring at her: "Are you still under Hunter Warren’s spell?

What’s wrong with your head?

Oliver Turner is right; the projects Townsend is handling now are almost all losing money.

To recover losses, new projects must be developed.

There’s no such thing as a business model that never changes.

You were the one who brought Oliver Turner here, and now you don’t support his opinion.

What’s your point?"

Faye hesitated for a moment and asked: "Do you want to always be the CEO of Townsend Corporation or just temporarily?

Why didn’t Dad get involved in the shipping industry during his lifetime?

Because we can’t manage it.

Townsend Corporation’s enterprises already span a wide width.

Dad managed well when he was alive, why did you mess it up after taking over?

Because you didn’t put your heart into it.

What we need to do is to revive Townsend, not to let go of existing businesses we can do well and start new ones.

If new ventures are to be pursued, it must be after Townsend is profitable again."

"You..." Richard pointed at her head: "Such a woman’s viewpoint, truly short-sighted."

"No matter what you say to me, the shares I hold now are enough to change the final verdict, so getting angry is useless."

"I am the son of the Townsend Family, you are just a woman, do you think you can ride over my head?"

"Knowing you’re the son, then achieve something a man should achieve.

After Mom and Dad passed, the company was entrusted to you; what happened afterward?

All you know is to enjoy a frivolous life, destroying the foundation Mom and Dad painstakingly built over their lives.

Alright, just leave, I get annoyed just looking at you."

Faye said while pushing Richard out.

Richard pointed at her head: "Faye, do you think you’re really something?

What’s there to be cocky about?

Just because you’re good-looking, attracting Hunter Warren and Oliver Turner to fight for you?

I enjoy life, but do you think you’re any better than me?

Do you know what people say about you?

Outside, when people know you’re my sister, they avoid me.

Why, because you’re a disgrace."

Faye clenched her fist: "Yes, I’m disgraceful, so the honorable eldest son of the Townsend Family, get out of here."

She raised her hand and pushed Richard outside the door.

For the sake of money, this wastrel has truly gone mad.

She closed the door, leaned her back against it, and shook her head, truly fed up.

She picked up her phone to call Oliver Turner.

After Oliver answered with a "Hello," she immediately asked: "Oliver, what are you really planning?

Why are you drafting a plan to enter the ship transportation industry?

I invited you to help save Townsend Corporation.

Not to let you develop Turner Corporation for your own benefit.

Townsend is not your stepping stone, I hope you remember.

We are partners.

I’ve already done what I needed to do.

Now, helping Townsend revive is what you must do, it’s your task."

On the other end, Oliver laughed lightly: "Who told you about this, Hunter Warren?"

"Richard." Faye straightforwardly revealed.

"From the way you’re talking, you don’t agree?"

"Yes, Director Turner, what I need is not for you to expand Townsend, but to lend a hand to Townsend.

You understand what I mean, so why go ahead with this ship transportation development?"

"No company can remain unchanged.

Even if your father were alive, he would venture into emerging industries.

Townsend is a mess now, to circulate their previous businesses requires immense manpower, material, and financial resources.

Rather than running a conservative and unchanging company, it’s better to have reforms.

Reform is vital for a business.

And I am in the shipping business.

The most familiar business to me is in this area.

The most efficient way I can help Townsend is by tapping into this.

Hunter Warren says I have ulterior motives.

Honestly, Faye, Townsend doesn’t hold such big value for me now.

Did you know that developing the maritime industry in Townsend could cripple half of BlueHorizon Group?

Why am I risking so much to help you, isn’t it because of your trust?

What do you mean now, don’t trust me?"

Faye sighed: "I don’t mean that. Since I turned to you, of course, I trust you.

But avoiding encroaching on BlueHorizon Group’s business chain was something agreed upon at the board meeting.

Oliver Turner, did you know my dad?

If my dad were alive, he would never venture into shipping.

I understand my dad; he’s a persistent person, more inclined towards projects with public welfare benefits.

Now my goal is simple, to restore Townsend to its former vitality.

As for what new businesses to add, that’s something to consider later."

On the other end, Oliver raised his eyebrows silently.

Faye was a bit troubled: "If you really think it’s too difficult, you can abandon Townsend, I won’t blame you if you let go here.

But if you change the core of Townsend Corporation willfully, I might blame you."

Oliver sighed helplessly: "Alright, Faye, you win, I’ll give up on the shipping industry.

Yet remember, I wasn’t developing the shipping industry for BlueHorizon Group’s growth in Townsend.

I was truly trying to help Townsend turn around as quickly as possible.

I’m giving it up not because I fear Hunter Warren, but out of respect for you, not wanting to upset you."

Hearing this, Faye was somewhat touched, she nodded and smiled: "I will remember this well, sorry for misunderstanding you just now.

And thank you, thank you for giving it up for me."

Oliver laughed: "Not asleep yet?"

"How could I? I went to bed at nine o’clock.

But Richard came over to cause a commotion and left.

I was a bit worried, so I called you late at night.

Did it disturb your rest?"

"No, I’m at Noble Gate having drinks with a few friends, want to join?"

"No thanks, I don’t like overly noisy places."

Of course, Faye refused; she’d rather get some more sleep.

"Should I come over to see you?"

"No need, I’ll continue sleeping.

You don’t know, right, pregnant women need a lot of sleep."

Oliver laughed: "Alright, then go sleep."

Still just as blunt in rejection; afraid this woman will never progress in this aspect.

After hanging up, Oliver lifted the wine glass shaking it gently.

Sitting beside him, Xavier placed his hand on his shoulder: "Who was that, Miss Townsend?"

Oliver shot him a glance: "Drink your wine."

Beside Xavier, Tabitha Yeager said: "Oliver, you weren’t really on the phone with Faye Townsend, were you?

I thought it was Clara.

It’s the first time I’ve seen you so cautious with a woman other than Clara.

Have you developed feelings for her?"

Oliver took a small sip of wine, focusing on Tabitha: "Is it not possible?"

Tabitha laughed heartily: "Looks like you’re finally waking up."

Xavier folded his arms: "When has Director Turner not been awake?

He’s always been sharp; unfortunately, Clara’s coming back soon, right?

What will she do when she finds out you’ve changed your heart?"

Oliver cast a sideways glance at Xavier: "What do you mean changed my heart, I never had those feelings for her."

"But the little girl has already fallen for you.

You denying feelings now is too late.

I suddenly really want to see Clara’s reaction."

Tabitha chuckled: "Why do I smell a hint of gloating?"

Oliver stood up: "Alright, enough from both of you.

I’m not hanging out with you anymore, drink by yourselves."

"Hey, don’t go; we finally got you out, and you’ve only had one drink, how is that okay?"

Xavier grabbed his wrist: "Stay a bit longer."

"Having you joke about me a little more? I might end up hitting someone."

With that, Oliver shoved his hands into his pockets and walked out of the room: "You guys settle the bill."

Leaving Noble Gate, Oliver had an extra takeout box in his hand.

He got into the car but instead of heading home, he went to Faye’s place.
