The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 266

"What's there to fear? Evelyn is our future CEO's wife. She is trying to compete with Evelyn for the director's position. She's overstepping her boundaries. Sooner or later, Evelyn will kick her out of the company. As long as we stick with Evelyn and Mr. Louis, we're fine."

"The situation seems pretty delicate to me. Don't count your chickens before they've hatched," Wendy cautioned.

Manager Simms said with disapproval, "If she can get Mr. Leopold to send an email, I'll eat my keyboard. That won't happen."

Ms. Wendy just smiled and didn't say anything else.

Mr. Leopold didn't send an email. Instead, Mr. Harry did. He noticed the whole company, stating that Manager Simms was undermining the company's functioning by refusing to cooperate with the management, thus seriously disrupting the marketing department's plans. Effective immediately, his managerial duties were revoked.

Soon after, Kevin issued an instruction, "The marketing department must go all out to promote and sell Destiny. Any disobedience will be severely punished."

Everyone knew that Kevin could represent Mr. Leopold.

Manager Simms was stunned.

Wendy sighed, "I told you, Simms. The situation is very delicate. Mr. Leopold's mind is inscrutable. Tread carefully."

"I refuse to accept this. I'm going to see Mr. Louis and Evelyn," Manager Simms stormed out of the office.

In the Design Department.

Aurelia was sipping on her cup of coffee while reviewing the jewelry show's PowerPoint presentation.

Manager Simms rushed in and went straight to Evelyn's desk.

He had assumed that since Mr. Harry and Mr. Louis were at odds, and Mr. Louis was close to the future CEO's wife, Mr. Harry would be fired sooner or later. He never expected to become the scapegoat before that happened.

"Fine, I admit I misjudged the situation and picked the wrong side. I'll take my lumps," he grumbled and stormed off.

Evelyn felt embarrassed. She adjusted her hair and muttered to herself, "He should have gone to Mr. Louis about the marketing department's issues. No matter how influential I am, I can't meddle in other departments."

Aurelia chuckled, "Mr. Leopold always separates business from personal matters. Because the marketing department's issues affected Destiny's sales, the company and all major shareholders suffered. The boss wants a win-win situation, not infighting. After all, the jewelry industry is fiercely competitive. Our real enemies are outside, not within."

Evelyn gave her a sly look. Was this the smooth talk she used to persuade Leopold?

But she was telling the truth about not visiting the CEO's office today.
