Chapter 1978

However, the next moment, she was able to shift the conversation toward the real motives of the tax department

visit to Hayes Corporation. While saying her piece, she maintained her calm and civilized behavior.

In an instant, the reception room fell dead silent.

She's good! She even mentioned the matter of economic development between the two countries. Right then,

everyone, including Tucker, was stunned.

"Withdraw all investments? You must be joking, right, Ms. Limmer?" he asked.

"Oh, no. On the contrary, I'm being dead serious." The smile on Susan's face faded, and she stared firmly at him. A

chill ran down Tucker's spine when she did that.

After all, her features had never been the sweet or dainty type. Instead, she had always looked calm, rational, and

elegant.

Indeed, a woman like her could always exude a domineering aura. Even if she were to keep quiet, she would still be

intimidating.

Just then, Aubrey uttered, "Mr. Tanner, she's actually Mr. Hayes' fiancee. In other words, she's the future lady owner

of Hayes Corporation. Do you really think she would joke with you?”

Hearing that, everyone fell silent.

After around ten minutes, Susan sent them off and watched them leave before bringing the documents to her

office.

"Ms. Limmer, is this the end of the matter?”

"No. They came here today to do what they were doing to Tilan Palace, and they're just trying to take advantage of

Hayes Corporation. From now on, remember to get my permission before approving any payments to them,” Susan

instructed.

"Yes!"

The Finance Department was shocked upon receiving such decisive and ruthless instruction from their newly

appointed superior. If we do that, we'll be going against all the local tyrants here. Hayes Corporation will surely face

a lot of troubles in the future.

Although they were all impressed by Susan's boldness and intelligence, they were also starting to grow concerned.

Ian had only found out about the matter after he returned to the office in the afternoon.

Melvin was in the office, and he was incredibly worried about the consequences as well. "Mr. Hayes, what Ms.

Limmer did will most probably ruin the relationships we have with the other parties, such as the government

officials and the local underground organizations. I think Hayes Corporation will run into problems in the near

future."

Upon hearing that, Ian glared at him coldly and asked, "So? Do you want Hayes Corporation to be like Hugo and rely

on others to survive here?"

"No... That's not what I meant." Beads of cold sweat started to form on Melvin's forehead right away.

Obviously, that wasn't what he meant.

In fact, he was genuinely worried. After all, Southeast Astoria is a lawless region. If we were to do business here,

things aren't going to be as easy as in other regions.

In the end, Melvin could only leave worriedly.

That evening, Ian and Susan went back to their new villa after they got off from work. That was when they started

having a discussion about the matter.

"Undeniably, Melvin is right to be worried. When the tax authority came today, he had confirmed Melvin's theory.

The government officials are in bed with the underground organizations," Susan uttered while putting up her

favorite wallpaper in the villa.

Ian remained silent for a while. Hayes Corporation is a law-abiding corporation. Since its establishment, the

company had never done anything shady It's a foolish endeavor that they'd try to take advantage of Hayes

Corporation.

While passing a sketch drawing he had drawn to Susan, he said, "From tomorrow onward, I'll get two men to stay

with you at all times to protect you."

Huh? Susan immediately turned toward him and looked at him with a changed expression. "Why? Are we in

danger?" she asked.

"It's possible. I've gone to their chamber of commerce today, and I've made myself clear. I told them Hayes

Corporation will never join those organizations. Hayes Corporation will simply be Hayes Corporation, no more, no

less.” A grin appeared on Ian's face.

Upon seeing that, Susan knew roughly what he meant.

She then took the sketch drawing from him and hung it at the spot they both liked.

Suddenly, she asked in a serious tone, "All right. I'll leave that to you. By the way, Ian, should we get your mom and

the others to decide on the date we should

move in? I think that's only appropriate."

Ian frowned. / have no problem with the suggestion. However, shouldn't she address me differently? Before she

had the time to react, he went up to her, wrapped his arms around her, and carried her off of the chair.

"Ahh!" she yelped.

After carrying her off the chair, he pulled her into his embrace and looked down at her. They were so close to each

other that she could feel his breath on her face when he asked, "Ms. Limmer, I can promise you anything in the

world. But in return, I'd like you to promise me something as well."

Susan blushed instantly. Her heart was pounding, and she shied away nervously. "W-What is it?" she stammered.

"From now on, don't call me by my name.” "What?"q
