The Ward Building, standing in Manhattan, New York, is towering into the sky. It is the starting point for the Ward family to make a fortune and the foundation for its foothold.

coo office.

Melissa was placing documents without raising her head.

"What's the matter with me?"

"Cousin, can't I come to see you if I'm fine?"

Vera sat at her desk, seemingly caring for her.

"Cousin, you have worked so hard. Now that I'm not clear, all the burdens are pressing on you alone."

"If there is nothing to do, please go out. I still have a lot of work to deal with."

Compared to Vera, Melissa seemed a little unkind. She didn't even look at Vera, and she always focused on the work at hand.

However, it is not allowed to admit that her work efficiency is indeed very outstanding. A document can be issued with almost ten lines at a glance, and she will quickly pick up the next one.

"Okay, cousin, I'm actually here today. I really have something to talk to you. Can you give me a few minutes?"

Melissa didn't say a word and was still giving instructions to the documents.

Vera didn't mind, so she raised her money and continued: "Uncle is gone, but the group still has to continue to operate. Should the new chairman be put on the agenda?"

Melissa paused and finally looked up, her expression was plain, but the subject was very sharp.

"Who asked you to come?"

Vera smiled, and seemed to find it a little strange.

"Cousin, I don't understand what you said. Now outsiders are discussing this matter. As a member of the family, shouldn't I care about it?"

I don’t know if this girl is generous or not, but she didn’t take the slap that night, it seemed that she didn’t take it to heart at all.

"You can't be without a boss for a day. Cousin, you have been at the headquarters. Maybe you don't know, those branches are all talking about it."

"Their most important task is to handle their own work well. It's not their turn to worry about other things."

Melissa said calmly, meaningful.

The Ward family has a great family and a large business. With the Ward Group as its torso, it has extended many subsidiaries.

Because the direct family is small, we can only send members of the sidelines to operate those industries. However, the Ward Group, which concerns the core interests of the family, has always adhered to the arbitrary style since the Nathan Ward era, and did not allow the sidelines to enter the management level. Even if some outsiders are hired as executives, the sidelines will never be allowed to intervene.

This is also the main reason why the Ward family's direct subordinates are so thin but have not been overtaken by the host.

In Nathan Ward's words, if you want a dog to work, you have to throw it a few bones, but at the same time, you can't let it jump onto the dining table.

Those branches are the bones thrown out by Ward's direct line, while Ward Group is the dining table.

But it is undeniable that the Ward family can achieve its power and scale today, and those side systems are invaluable.

Of course, in a capital society with strict classes, many things are destined from the day they are born.

Even if it is not a slave, in the eyes of Melissa, who has noble blood, the status of those side-lines is probably no higher than that of servants.

This is also why she slapped that decisively that night.

Usually, she just was too lazy to care about it, but when it was necessary, she didn't mind letting the other party understand what rules and magnanimity mean.

"Cousin, I can't say that. Everyone works for the family. They all hope that the family can move forward. Now that Uncle has left, we must accept reality. I hope that my cousin can quickly succeed Uncle, eliminate the rumors outside, and stabilize people's hearts."

Vera's words are earnest and her words are touching.

"I know what to do, you go back first."

Melissa's reaction was dull and drove him away again.

"Cousin, what are you waiting for?"

Vera's eyes were puzzled.

"Just take out the uncle will, you can legitimately inherit your position and block everyone's mouths. There is no need to wait any longer."

Melissa's eyes twitched.

Although the other party pretended to be kind, even if he pretended, he still couldn't hide his aggressive tone, which still exposed the bad intentions of the visitor.

"Villa, did anyone tell you something?"

Vera smiled and felt like spring breeze.

"Cousin, whoever said anything to me? This is all my own idea. Our Ward family has always been in power, and I really hope that a female head of the family will be born. Cousin, I even look forward to this than you."

"The will is not with me, but is stored in the safe of the bank by Andrei lawyer. He will choose a time to announce it according to his father's orders before his death. All we need to do is wait."

As the first stakeholder, Melissa should have been most anxious, but at this time her calmness is like an outsider.

If something goes wrong, there will inevitably be a demon.

Vera's smile is even more charming.

"Cousin, you are the only child of Uncle and the first heir to the family. When will you announce the will? You just need to inform lawyer Andre. Could he dare to violate your order?"

Melissa raised her slender eyebrows.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Of course not."

Vera shook her head and explained: "It's just that I'm also a member of the family and don't want any problems in the family. Everyone knows that if the position of the patriarch is empty for a long time, it will cause trouble."

"Villa, have you considered it a little too much? You need to be clear about your identity. These are not things that require you to care about. What new products on Fifth Avenue should be more meaningful for you to spend time."

Vera's smile froze slightly, and her eyes subconsciously shone coldly.

But it's just a moment.

She regained her bright smile.

"Thank you for your reminder. I have indeed not been to Fifth Avenue for a while. I will go and have a look later."

Melissa nodded, holding a pen in her right hand, turned her head and looked out the sky.

"Go quickly. If it's a little later, some stores may be closed."

Vera's smile remained unchanged and she stood up.

"Then cousin, I'll leave first."

Melissa did not respond, bowed her head and browsed the file again.

"By the way, cousin, I have something to say, I still want to remind you."

Vera suddenly paused again and said.

"Time is money, dragging it is just a waste of time. After all, the will placed in the safe will not change, right?"

Melissa lowered her head, unable to see her expression.

Vera smiled brightly, carrying Hermes' latest catwalk bag.

"Cousin, then I won't disturb your work."

The high heels hit the ground, and the sound gradually faded away.

Melissa never looked up, her eyes fixed on the file, and her fingers holding the pen were tightly pinched.
