Chapter 92: The Carters’ Discussion
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At this moment, Dominic Carter’s figure appeared in the middle of the hall with his granddaughter Scarlet Wright beside him.
The righteous indignation of the people subsided a little as they stood up respectfully to greet Dominic.
Dominic waved his hand. After sitting down in the middle seat, he looked at the crowd. “Seems like you already know.”
“Yes!” Everyone nodded. Immediately afterward, some impatient family members stood out and exclaimed, “Grandpa, this is so infuriating. What right does that bitch…”
“Shut up!” Dominic coldly interrupted and said in a low voice, “I didn’t call you here to listen to this useless nonsense! The truth now is that Cheyenne Carter has already become the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation. Do you guys have anything to say about this? I want to hear something constructive.”
Dominic’s last sentence made many people who wanted to stand up and express their opinions retreat silently.
Constructive things? What kind of constructive thing can we say?
Surely, he’s not expecting us to go snatch the Brilliance Corporation back from Cheyenne Carter and hand it over to him, right?
“Bryce, tell us what you think,” Dominic suddenly said to Bryce.
Being the first to be named, Bryce raised his head angrily with a resentful look on his face that hadn’t faded yet. “Grandpa, I think there’s definitely something wrong with Cheyenne Carter!”
Dominic Carter frowned. “Tell us what issues there are.”
Bryce stood up. “Previously, Cheyenne Carter and Flynn Davis colluded to snatch the Brilliance Corporation away from us under the pretext of us breaching the contract. I doubt anyone would believe that they weren’t in cahoots.
“In any case, let’s put this matter aside. Let’s talk about the latter matter. All the Carters have been chased out of the Brilliance Corporation, while Cheyenne is the only one left. That’s enough to show that she’s still involved with the C-suites of the Brilliance Corporation, or even the Stardust Corporation.

“According to the information I found out, Cheyenne Carter was slapped hard on her face by Jane Harper, her former assistant and a deputy manager of the business department. She even had hot water splashed onto her, so it’s safe to say she was in a miserable state.”
This was something that Dominic hadn’t heard before.
With glistening eyes, Dominic asked, “What happened later?”
“Later, the Brilliance Corporation allegedly spread the news that there would be a new general manager soon. In the afternoon, Cheyenne was suddenly appointed as the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation, while Jane Harper, who had bullied her, was handcuffed and brought away by the police in front of everyone!”
Bryce’s words were indeed insider news that many of the Carters hadn’t heard before. All of a sudden, they were all ears.
At this moment, Scarlet, who was standing beside Dominic, suddenly spoke up. “I know! This must be because Cheyenne Carter and one of the senior executives of the Stardust Corporation have long been in an illicit relationship, but something happened later. Maybe she disobeyed, so he forced her to comply by bullying her.
“So today, she couldn’t tolerate it any longer and made another deal with that person to regain her position as the general manager. That former assistant who offended her was naturally accused and then arrested!”
Although Scarlet’s imagination was dark and vulgar, it was still somewhat logical. And her words immediately made all the Carters present believe that it was the truth.
Dominic nodded in approval. “It seems the truth is just as Bryce and Scarlet have said. However, no matter what means Cheyenne used to rise to the top, she is now the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation, and we can’t let go of this opportunity for nothing. As long as she is still carrying our last name, she must make some contribution to the Carters.”

Everyone seemed to approve, and they immediately found it a pity that Dominic had kicked Cheyenne and her family out previously.
Otherwise, they would have been able to directly ask Cheyenne to return the Brilliance Corporation to the Carters.
Even if the Stardust Group didn’t allow it, they would still be able to get the Brilliance Corporation from her and let Cheyenne be the general manager in name.
Unfortunately, Cheyenne was no longer a member of the Carter family, so she definitely wouldn’t be that obedient and compliant.
The Carters sighed in their hearts.
Dominic looked at Bryce. “Bryce, when Cheyenne came over a few days ago, didn’t she say she wanted to cooperate with the Carters on behalf of the Brilliance Corporation? Now that she has become the general manager herself, she must hold greater authority. Go look for her and talk to her about our cooperation with the Brookes.”
“Me?” Bryce was stunned. But he immediately raised his arm in the cast and rejected, “No, Grandpa. Cheyenne hates me to the core. If I go to her, she’ll definitely treat me harshly!”
Dominic’s face turned dark. “Does your pride matter more than the family’s future? Speaking of which, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have disowned Cheyenne and her family. Since you offended her prior to this, you have to beg for her forgiveness now! Only when she forgives you will it be possible to bring benefits to the Carters again. Do you understand?”
Bryce immediately had a bitter expression.
It was obvious what Dominic meant. In fact, he even blamed the disowning of Cheyenne and her family on Bryce.
He wants Cheyenne Carter to come back while undermining me! Bryce was full of displeasure, but he didn’t know what to say to retort against him. He could only exclaim, “I won’t go!”
“You’re rebelling!” Angered by his words, Dominic pointed at Bryce and berated, “Throwing a tantrum? Do you think you’re a child?! Bryce Carter, I’m telling you, you have to make this trip even if you don’t want to! Otherwise, don’t think of coming back again!”
After saying that, Dominic waved his sleeve and left.
Everyone in the hall looked at Bryce with a hypocritical smile.
“Bryce, just bear with it for the sake of the family!”
“Yes, we will all remember your contribution to the family. Even if that woman comes back, you are still the only successor in our hearts!”
“Yes, Bryce, press on!”
…
Bryce could tell the insincerity in their hypocritical and meaningless words. They all wanted that bitch Cheyenne to come back!
“Get lost! All of you, get lost!” Bryce hollered at them in rage.
