Chapter 388

Ben was holding the phone as he listened to the situation inside and advised Summer.

In the meeting room, Wade looked at Summer in amazement. The lady had grown up.

"You youngsters and your private lives..."

"Uncle, if you have the ability to make me marry you, then Plath Corporation is yours." Summer leaned against the table and looked at the man with amusement in her eyes.

"You!" The man was rendered speechless by Summer's words, his face was so flushed with anger that he looked like a tomato. "What nonsense!"

"My words might be a little too much today. Sirs and madams, don’t see me the same as any other child. Since my dad is not here now, it’s best that you listen to me. I’ll give you all a month to think about it, we will not force any of you to stay if you want to leave Plath Corporation. But if any of you want to stay and make Plath Corporation better, I think we can work hard together. I’m young and inexperienced, so I will definitely rely on all of you and listen to your opinions and suggestions."

"Great! The lady has grown up and can take on important responsibilities!" Wade was very pleased and nodded at Summer.

Summer looked at Wade gratefully. During her father's absence, Wade had worked hard.

"Wade, after the meeting is over, can we talk?" Wade had been with her father for decades and was definitely someone who knew her father better than she did.

She wanted to know what happened to the Miller family and the Plath family back then.

She also wanted to know between her aunt, Valerie Plath, and Jasper's father, Marvin Miller.

And why did her father decide to disappear for so long while he was fully conscious?

At the end of the meeting, all the directors left with sullen expressions. They were definitely not willing to let a girl manage the company, but what else could they do?

They did have much say in a family business.

"Hey, didn't you guys say that she didn’t care about managing the company? Today, she came back to the board of directors meeting, and she even spoke so sharply. If the plan doesn’t work, don’t cause us any trouble!" Someone in the corridor made a call and said anxiously.

"Don't worry, Summer won’t be a threat. What you should worry about now is how to prevent Summer from marrying Jasper."

After waiting till the snitch left, Ben’s face became serious. His eyes darkened as he put his hands in his pockets and stood up.

There were really quite a number of people who wanted to claim Plath Corporation as their own.

At the mansion in West City…

"Sir, Summer went to Plath Corporation today."

The hand Victor used to feed the cat stiffened, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Summer went to Plath Corporation. Very good.

"That woman returned to Sea City. Did anything happen?"

"Nothing has happened so far. I have been to Samson’s place a few times, and I went to see Colden as soon as I came back."

Victor smiled. ‘Colden Ardly, huh?’

At the Ardly family's main mansion, Colden was lying on the hospital bed. His coughing became worse.

When an illness was in its advanced stage, no amount of money would help cure the patient.

"Sir, drink some water." The butler felt distressed and patted Colden on the shoulder.

"That woman is a lunatic and is very ambitious. Ask Samson to be more careful." Colden was most worried about Samson, even if Samson hated him and was unwilling to see him even once even now.

"Sir, it's better to tell the young master. If he really doesn't want that child… Why do you need to make things so tense between you and your son…?" Samson had always had a grudge against Colden. This time, the matter with Julia made things even worse.

"I'm about to kick the bucket. There’s no point even if he comes to see me. He may hate me now. But in the future, once he knows how much it hurts to be alone, he will know the importance of having children." Colden smiled and shook his head. "Enough. Don't worry about me."
