Chapter 909: Overestimating one’s own ability

She glanced at Edward Gresia’s frustrated expression and said to everyone:

"Even though President Jones has had a bit of an accident, I believe he will come back. Until he does, I will help him watch over the Jones corporation. If anyone dares to scheme against it, don’t blame me for being rude."

Her words were indeed quite impolite, especially since it was clear they were directed at Edward Gresia, with the other shareholders just being included by implication.

They didn’t have the capability, nor the ambition.

But Edward Gresia had been a holdover from Henry Jones’s era, with enough connections and financial influence in Jones to matter. The fact that Mrs. Jones, having just arrived at the corporation, now dared to lay down such a tough stance, made one couldn’t help but wait and see.

Edward Gresia’s face flushed with anger from Elly Campbell’s confrontation, especially since he thought this nonsensical woman, who didn’t understand a single thing, dared to make him lose face in front of so many people, his eyes couldn’t help revealing undisguised malice and contempt.

He inherently looked down on women, especially one not yet 30 years old, whom he saw as spoiled by her husband’s indulgence, he had very little respect for her.

In his eyes, it was only because Adam Jones had spoiled Elly Campbell so much that she didn’t even know her own weight.

She used to walk around so pompously with Adam Jones’s protection, and now that Adam Jones might even be dead, she still thought she was so important.

Was having half of the Jones shares something to be proud of?

When Jones fell into ruin because of this woman, he wanted to see if she could still be so arrogant.

By then, wouldn’t Jones still fall into his, Edward Gresia’s, hands?

There had been an Old Lady Jones before, and now, did this Ms. Campbell think she was the second Old Lady Jones?

Heh! Such an overestimating woman!

With a look of someone watching a joke unfold, he watched Elly Campbell and said, "Then I’ll be looking forward to that, hoping our Mrs. President can lead us, Jones, out of this crisis."

"Borrowing your auspicious words, Director Gresia."

Elly Campbell didn’t feign modesty, and after speaking, she ignored Edward Gresia and simply said, "Meeting adjourned."

As she walked out of the conference room, Elly Campbell said to Robert Green, "Aide Baker, come to my office later."

"Yes, Mrs. Campbell."

Returning to the office, that intense sense of fatigue instantly overwhelmed her.

Looking at the photo of Adam Jones on the desk, a wave of bitterness welled up in her eyes.

"I’ve been bullied by that old man to this state, when exactly are you coming back? Adam Jones, I’ve spent tens of billions to support Jones for you, if you don’t come back, I’m going to be really mad."

She rubbed her sore waist, a look of dejection washed over her face.

At that moment, Robert Green knocked and came in, "Mrs. Campbell, you wanted to see me?"

Elly Campbell handed the document she was holding to Robert Green and said, "This project is already halfway done, don’t stop it. Give the order today to carry on."

"And this..."

After giving all the necessary instructions, Elly Campbell looked at the last document in front of her and hesitated before speaking:

"As for the Cross-sea Bridge project, considering the current state of Jones, we don’t have the capacity to continue. In your opinion, what would be the best course of action?"

The Cross-sea Bridge project was originally undertaken solely by Jones, and given Jones’s original capabilities, it wouldn’t be a problem at all.

But now, with Jones’s stock prices plummeting, even though financing had been procured that morning, that money could only be used for a few other ongoing construction projects. With such a massive project added to the mix, Jones might not be able to handle it.
