Chapter 1044
Crystal scoffed. “Then she’s putting on one hell of an act!”
Jasmine let out a dry laugh. “I’ve known her for a long time. She’s competent, sure, but she’s always been great at faking it.”
Whenever their company hit a rough patch and Jasmine threw a tantrum out of frustration, Holt would always tell her to be more like Noreen-to stay calm and collected instead of just lashing out, which solved nothing.
That comparison had always been a thorn in Jasmine’s side and was a major reason why she was so insanely jealous of the other woman.
Hadn’t Noreen started out as just a secretary too?
What made her so much better?
Why did she always have to be one step ahead?
Crystal’s expression had just started to soften when Dylan’s call came in.
Seeing his name flash on the screen, a thrill of genuine happiness shot through her.
He hadn’t called her of his own volition in ages. She answered eagerly, using her old, affectionate pet name for him. “Dylan, you…”
Before she could get another word out, his furious voice cut her off. “Did you go to Winrich?”
Crystal froze. The joy vanished from her eyes instantly, her tone hardening into a sneer. “Did Noreen run crying to you that fast?”
She was truly two-faced!
And to think she acted so unbothered!
Dylan ignored her accusation, his voice like ice. “I do not consent to pulling Winrich’s credit line.”
Crystal quickly reminded him, “I am a shareholder of Omniva too. I have every right to make that call!”
“I said, I don’t agree to it!” he snapped back with overwhelming authority.
But the more forceful he became, the more stubborn she got. “Then let’s convene a shareholder meeting and put it to a vote!”
Dylan’s heart sank.
Everyone knew exactly what was happening at Winrich right now.
If they actually held a vote, the rest of the board would undoubtedly side with Crystal and sever the credit line.
He forcibly swallowed his rage. “Fine. We’ll hold the meeting and decide when I get back from my business trip.”
Crystal knew exactly what he was playing at.
He was stalling.
He wanted to buy Noreen precious time to scramble for a lifeline.
She let out a cold laugh, gripping her phone tightly, her tone dripping with venom. “We can do it via video

“Crystal!” Dylan roared.

She hung up on him, her expression even colder than before.
She turned to Jasmine. “It’s your turn.”
Understanding the assignment, Jasmine grabbed her designer bag, stepped out of the car, and marched straight toward Winrich.
Crystal watched her walk away, a vicious smirk curling her lips.
The hunt for Noreen Gilmore had only just begun.
Back inside, Noreen was just getting ready to leave for the day.
Claire had called to say she’d made dinner and told her to come home early.
But before she could even step out of her office, Jasmine waltzed in.
Winrich was certainly a popular destination today.
“Long time no see, Ms. Gilmore. I hope I’m not interrupting your work?”
Jasmine offered fake pleasantries as she strolled right up to the desk and took a seat, acting as comfortable as if she owned the place.

Jasmine didn’t bother beating around the bush. She slid a contract out of her folder and pushed it across the desk. “You’ve always been @straight shooter, so I’ll get right to the point. I’m here to negotiate buying back your shares in InnoCore.”

They had attempted this negotiation several times before, and every single one had ended in a deadlock.
But right now, Noreen needed cash more than anything, making this the perfect opportunity.
