Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth
Chapter 646 A Suggestion From Manuel

Chapter 646 A Suggestion From Manuel

In the conference room, the air suddenly weighed.

A board member went on with Edward's words, "You're right, and I also admit that his capacity is beyond our imagination. Of course, I'm not forcing him to do what he has promised. I just want to ask it before we get to the end, so people won't think too much."

"No one should think much more. I can tell you unequivocally right now that he is capable enough and qualified to do what he's doing. There shouldn't be any objections." Edward made a prompt decision. The board member said nothing more but he glanced at Henry at that moment. Obviously, Henry still had a bunch of supporters.

Henry had been colluding with some people secretly. Manuel had always, however, handled his relationship with all board members fairly and impartially. Many board members couldn't get much out of Manuel let alone draw water to their own mill. So some people were trying to help Henry get this position because of their self-interest.

Henry gave him a slight nod and said, "I agree with Mr President."

He was the first to state his position, which made everyone in the meeting room surprise. Everyone knew Manuel and Henry were competitors. And people in the company would think that Henry deserved better while working as Manuel's junior officer and that Henry was the one the Phillips Bank should focus on and nurture. After all, he was the son-in-law of the bank's boss. And Edward had only one daughter, which would make him more powerful. However, he was robbed of everything by an outsider, Manuel.

Everyone in the group was clear of the bad blood between the two of them. Hence, Henry's support for Manuel publicly surprised everyone.

"During this time, Mr Johnson has kept Phillips Group safe from Sway Bank takeover. He did things that the average couldn't do, so it makes sense for him to stay on as the general manager of the Philips Bank."

Manuel turned around to glance at him but the former didn't give any response.

Finishing his words, Henry didn't say anything else. He just seemed to speak his mind without any personal emotion.

Edward also nodded delightedly when he heard what Henry said.

Since Susan was together with Henry, Edward was agitated and unsatisfied. Until now he was still thinking about how to get Susan and Manuel together. But now he thought a little higher than before of Henry because of his generosity.

"Now that we're all in agreement, this matter is over. And I don't want to hear it mentioned again." Sid Edward.

The meeting ended successfully.

Manuel followed Edward into his office.

Susan watched them and turned back, and then she saw Henry, who was waiting for her.

Walking up to him, Susan smiled and said, "You were mercy to Manuel."

"He's truly capable, I can only admire him. But..."

She waited for him to finish his words while staring at him.

"Forget it. You just need to be my lovely princess, I'll deal with other matters." Henry fondled her head.

But at that moment, Susan ducked his hand.

Henry's fingers paused in the air.

"This is a workplace, I don't want to create any bad influence," Susan said naturally.

Henry nodded. But the smile on his face faded gradually. Pretending not noticing this, Susan strode ahead. Henry slowly followed her with clenched fists.

In the office of the Phillips Bank's president, Edward said seriously to Manuel, "You don't need to feel burdened by the promise you've made before, and this matter is over now! If anyone mentions it again, I'll punish him."

He knew Manuel well that he wouldn't get any advantages from others' profits. So he called Manuel in specifically to tell him this.

Manuel didn't nod. He didn't think he couldn't get through this thing. After all, he wouldn't have put so much effort into this business and might have reached his original goal if someone hadn't been trying to mess with it. So he didn't have much personal baggage in this case.

However, he was also clear that it was not going to be that simple since he knew Henry wouldn't let him go so easily. Henry would take advantage of what he had gotten from him.

Seeing Manuel didn't reply to him, Edward was a little anxious, "Manuel, don't be stubborn!"

"Yes," Manuel answered.

He didn't spit out what he was worried about. After all, that was all he could deal with.

"Well, you and Susan..." After getting the answer, Edward changed the subject to personal feelings.

"Mr President, I need to go back to work now." Manuel refused to talk about this straightly.

Edward was a little helpless. He also knew that nothing forcibly done was going to be agreeable, so he just sighed.

While standing up and leaving the room, Manuel said, "If you want Susan to develop well here, I suggest... you should let Henry out of the company."

Edward changed his look visibly.

He glanced at Manuel.

"It's just my suggestion."

Edward nodded. For all these years, he had always been expecting something of Henry. And he thought the best way for Susan was that she could learn how to manage a company with Henry's assistance. He didn't really want to make Henry have nothing.

Manuel knew what Edward was thinking about. So he didn't push Edward too much.

Susan was obviously trapped in her comfort zone by herself and had no way to come out. And he had decided not to waste too much time on her. So Manuel just left the topic there.

Returning to the office and turning on the computer, Manuel planned to do some work and then go off duty. He didn't want to work overtime because he need to attend his cousin's birthday party today. When he was thinking of this, his secretary knocked and opened the door with an anxious look.

"Mr Johnson, something goes wrong! Now the press has released the promise you made when you joined the company. The content reads your deadline is coming, and their wonder if the Phillips Bank will choose to let you off the punishment due to your excellent performance recently."

Manuel showed a calm look as if that was also predicted by him.

Indeed, if everything was fine, he might still be a little worried, which meant he didn't know what Henry was doing behind his back. Now Henry had started his action, and Manuel felt relaxed. Then Manuel replied, "OK, I've learned it."

Callie looked at him with a confused face.

"Anything else?" seeing Callie standing still, Manuel asked.

Callie shook her head, "No, I just..."

"Then you may leave."

"Yes."

Behind the office door closed, Callie couldn't help but relief.

By the way Manuel responded to the news content, she admired Manuel so much for his calm and collected manner.
