Chapter 369: Chapter 369

"You’re really good at laying it on thick!" Hunter said for the umpteenth time today.

"No, that ain’t flattery, mate. I genuinely think you’re rad," Molly was saying that when someone passed by. She stopped talking and escorted Hunter to the company’s entrance, expressing deep gratitude towards him.

Once Hunter was gone, Molly called Rosemary.

"Rose, I’ve got a shindig tonight. You reckon this dress suits the occasion?"

"What kind of party?"

Not knowing what the occasion was, she wasn’t sure if the dress would be appropriate.

Molly explained, "My grandpa set it up before he passed. Whenever there’s a new management team, the old board members and shareholders throw a welcome bash."

Getting the picture, Rosemary said promptly, "In that case, the dress is spot on."

"Rose, I got to thank you," Molly couldn’t resist saying. "If it wasn’t for you, Hunter wouldn’t have brought me back home, wouldn’t have stood up for me when those old farts on the board gave me a hard time. And he’s even willing to attend tonight’s party. You don’t know how much that means. It’s basically a chance for the new CEO to show off their connections."

This was really surprising. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Thank goodness Hunter agreed to go. Otherwise, she would be looked down on by those old geezers again.

After hearing her out, Rosemary replied gently, "I’ll have Jaime represent LY tonight. I’ve got some stuff to take care of."

Molly exclaimed, "What? No, I mean—"

"I know," Rosemary chuckled, "he’ll discuss a possible collaboration with you."

Another collaboration?

Molly was at a loss for words, then filled with gratitude. "Rose, how is your family so nice? Hunter also wants to collaborate. I know my own capabilities. Our small company doesn’t have much to offer you guys."

It must be because of their friendship that Hunter and Rose were willing to help her.

"You earned your third place. That’s a great achievement," Rosemary replied with a smile. "Anyway, I’ve got things to do. If you need help tonight, just turn to Hunter."

Molly responded, "Alright."

After hanging up, Rosemary turned to the man beside her.

Even though she and Romeo had safely returned, some forces had infiltrated Solterra, searching for her whereabouts.

She didn’t want to put Molly in danger.

So she couldn’t show up tonight.

At eight o’clock that evening.

The celebration was held on the top floor of the Summerfield Hotel.

Many shareholders and board members arrived early, eager to see Molly squirm.

They gossiped, "The girl’s just too immature, has no respect for time. Look at all these board members and shareholders waiting for her. She thinks she’s something else now that she’s CEO."

"Exactly, youngsters these days just don’t get it. No matter how high and mighty she is, without anyone backing her, where’s the dignity?"

"Look at the night view of Summerfield, and it’s gorgeous. Only those at the top can appreciate this unique beauty."

Just then, someone announced, "President Molly is here."

Everyone turned to look at her. Molly was wearing a color-blocked strapless dress. One side was an extreme black, giving a relaxed vibe, and the other was peach-pink, giving a girly charm. The clash of the two styles was stunning.

She looked stunning when she dressed up, and she had a great aura about her. Her long hair simply styled was eye-catching. However, she didn’t bring any guests with her.

At this point, several directors started to laugh, some even stepped forward to mock her.

"President Molly, what’s up with the solo act? No friends to tag along?" an older woman feigned concern. "If you don’t have any connections, you can tell me, I know a guy who runs a pretty famous clothing company. He could help you out."

When the woman noticed that Molly’s chest was bigger than hers, she was immediately filled with resentment and jealousy.

"President Bill, why the need to tease? President Molly just took over the company, she can’t possibly have that many friends."

Before she could finish, a voice cut her off.

"Sorry, I’m late." A young man in a suit came forward, extending his hand. "President Molly, congratulations on taking over the Cooper Group. I’m sure it will become even more powerful under your leadership."

"Mr. Jaime?" Molly hadn’t expected Jaime, the stand-in CEO of LY, to actually show up. Grateful, she shook his hand. "I’m really glad you could make it to our celebration today."

"No kidding, I heard earlier that there is a famous clothing company that could help you out, which one is it?" Jaime turned his gaze to the mocking President Bill.

President Bill was speechless. This was Jaime, the CEO of LY.

Everyone knew that Queen Abby rarely appeared in the company, and that Jaime was in charge of the day-to-day operations. She did not expect him to appear in person, and even stand up for Molly. Her friend’s company was just a small company, and she mentioned it to humiliate Molly. She didn’t expect Jaime to bring it up.

"President Bill, Mr. Jaime is asking you which company?" Molly confidently asked, looking at President Bill with interest.

President Bill quickly backed down. "I was just saying."

Her friend’s company was not even worth mentioning. She would never dare to be arrogant in front of Jaime.

"That’s great, it’s an honor for the Cooper Group to work with LY," Molly shook his hand again, expressing her gratitude.

The other directors and shareholders were stunned. They couldn’t believe that Molly managed to invite someone like Jaime. Everyone knew LY’s status in the fashion world.

Just then, another man came over, his eyes falling on Molly and Jaime’s hands.

"Is that Hunter from Collins Fashion? He’s here too?"

"At the board meeting this afternoon, they were planning to fire Molly, but he conveniently showed up and expressed interest in working with the Cooper Group. He even came to support Molly at tonight’s welcome party. He seems to be very interested in what’s going on with Molly. Is he into Molly?"

"No way! What’s so special about Molly that he would be interested in her?"

"But Hunter isn’t the type to stick his nose in other people’s business. If he’s not into Molly, did he see something in her talent?"

"Talent? That could be it."
