Finn frowned deeply. “Everyone’s already thinking about splining up the company without any bad news yet. Isn’t that too much? If none of you will look for her, I will!” 

Finn angrily left the table and opened the conference room door, only to see Ella, safe and sound. 

His eyes lit up instantly, and he grabbed her hands, too excited to speak. The next second, he hugged her tightly 

Finn SAID, “You’re alright? That’s great. Do you know how worried I was about you? If something had happened to you, what would I have done” 

Ella felt conflicted. She thought Finn had turned against her. She had promoted him, given İsim a significant platform and authority, treating him 

as a confdani. 

But at the most critical moment, he had delivered a fatal blow to her. The thought of this made Ella’s heart ache. 

But it didn’t seem to be the case. 

“Why didn’t you pay 

the ransom?” Ella asked. 

Finn said, “You know what? I was in a car accident. I took the money from the bank and was rushing to save you. I tried to cross the road in the last few seconds of a yellow light and got into an accident 1 was knocked unconscious on the spot and taken to the hospital. By the time I woke up, it 

was too late 

Such a thing could be easily verified. There was no reason for Finn to lie about it. But what about the board of directors? 

Ella strode into the room, her eyes cold as she looked at the group. She sat steadily in her chair, legs crossed, fingers tapping the table. 

Ella didn’t say a word, yet the people below were uneasy. They exchanged nervous glances, with no one daring to speak. 

She projected her 

phone screen. 

se screen and pointed to three missed calls, saying, “Give me a reasonable explanation.” 

The board representative, Bruno Steele, finally said, “Ma Willow, that morning we were in a meeting about an international business cooperation This project was brought in by Mr. Santino as part of the company’s expansion efforts. The foreign company has advanced medical equipment technology, but their labor and manufacturing facilities are inferior to ours. Mr. Santino proposed we export our capabilities in reverse 

“That morning, we were preparing to finalize the agreement with their representatives. Our phones were on silent mode, so we didn’t know you were in trouble. We’re here to determine the future of the group, not for our own interests, but for the sake of the thousands of employees under 

This explanation was reasonable, 

“Did you secure the deal?” asked Ella 

Bruno replied, “No.” A few of the board directors looked dejected. 

Ella nearly laughed in anger So they didn’t make any money, and she almost lost her life for it! 

Ella said, “From now w on, meetings will no longer be in silent mode. They can be on vibrate. If something urgent happens at home and you can’t reach someone, what would you do? If you all prioritized this cooperation over my calls, then you have one month to secure it. I don’t care what 

you use. If you can’t do it. I will implement layoffs, demotions, and pay cuts.”

“Mr. Willow, that’s unreasonable,” someone voiced their dissatisfaction. 

Ella slammed the table and said, Unreasonablet You were so focused on the meeting that no one checked their phone. Is it because my grandfather is old, and you think I’m not good at business, that you want to get rid of me? Let me make it clear. This group is called the Willow Group and belongs to the Willow family. What I say here is an absolute order! 

“I don’t need your reasons, excuses, or arguments. I only need you to execute my orders! You keep saying it’s all for the company. Since I took over, Isecured long–term cooperation with the Denison Group and obtained the Leland Group’s offline factories! Show me your skills. If you’re not up to the task, don’t there arguing with me about your rank?” 

With that Ella turned and left without looking back. Several board members‘ faces turned 

pule. 

They asked Finn, “Mr. Santino, you were the one who set up this overseas partnership and called for the emergency meeting. We were highly focused and cooperated fully, musing Ms. Willow’s calls Now Ms. Willow has placed pressure on un. You can’t just walk away from this”. 

Finn’said, “I understand. No one intended this. It was just bad timing. I’ll go abroad in a couple of days to handle it personally. Don’t worry. We’ll 

succeed.” 

Finn hurriedly reassured them. He quickly left to catch up with Ella, who was sitting alone in her car, stewing

Ella had entrusted her life to others, and in such a helpless and desperate situation, 150 one hail come to save her. She felt heartbroken. She even had darker suspicions, but she didn’t dare to delve deeper, fearing she couldn’t handle the outcome. 

She leaned against the steering wheel, her shoulders trembling slightly. Finn stood outside the car, his heart aching.

Finn said, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. If I had been more careful and hadn’t had the accident, you would have been safely home by now. How did you escape this time? I was so worried, I almost went crazy. I’m sorry, Ella” 

Ella wiped her tears, unaccustomed to crying in front of others 

Ella said, “It’s time. It’s all over now. The coast guard rescued us“ 

Finn said. “You must have been terrified. It’s not safe to drive now. Let me take you home? 

Ella refused and said, “No, tell me what’s been happening in the company these past Tew i 

days.” 

““Okay,” Finn responded gently, patting her head, his other hand never leaving her shoulder. 

They were very close, one sitting in the car and the other standing outside. From a distance, they looked very intimate. 

Jaden arrived in a hurry and saw this scene. Ella hadn’t gone home immediately after her return. Though he knew she wouldn’t be in any danger. he was still worried. He had Harel bring him over, only to see this. 

Hazel felt awkward, explaining. They’re just playing a hand game” 

Jaden said, “Hazel, I’m not smart, but I’m not stupid either. 

Hazel was speechless and quickly called Ella

Ella hung up and immediately pushed Finn away, feeling he was blocking her exit.
