Chapter 809 The Power Shift

Hayley’s POV:

I said firmly, “Don’t forget–I landed that development site Sander Group needed for the second half of the year–and I didn’t spend a single dime. If that doesn’t prove I’m capable, then maybe, just maybe, you never wanted me back in this family in the first place, Freya.”

As soon as I made my point, the Sander Group executives, who had been staying quiet, finally spoke up.

“So it was Michelle who secured that property?”

“With that site locked down, we won’t have to

“We’re here to make money. Why the hell would we walk away from a sure thing? Mr. Sander, aren’t you going to say something?”

Put on the spot, Alan looked completely caught off guard. He glared at Freya, clearly at a loss for words.

Freya gave me a look full of spite, but there was nothing she could say. Her eyes dropped, and she fell silent, clearly embarrassed.

Watching the two of them squirm in front of everyone was deeply satisfying.

Fireshed

Sure enough, they jumped at the chance to cozy up to him. “Ms. Michelle is young and talented! She should be in leadership!”

“I’m all for it. Let her step up and carry the Sanders’s legacy!”

“Sander Group needs some fresh blood anyway. It’s about time!”

One after another, voices filled the room–every single one of them in my corner.

Freya’s face went pale.

I wasn’t crazy about Truman’s overbearing vibe, but seeing Freya struggle to keep her composure? It made it all worth it.
