NovelEndChapter 419:
Tristan, Cindy, and Mr. Ramos were the first to enter the company, with Carrie and her entourage close behind.
Inside, employees clustered around Tristan, engaging in friendly conversation. However, as soon as they noticed
Carrie, their smiles stiffened.
The Campbell family had spread rumors that Carrie was only Mrs. Norris in name, insisting that Kristopher had no
true feelings for her. Yet now, Kristopher was accompanying her to the company for the second time. The first
visit could have been dismissed as mere pretense, but what did this repeat visit signify?
It was well-known that any single project managed by the Norris Group was more valuable than the entirety of
the floundering Campbell family’s company.
Kristopher had no reason to show up in person unless something significant was underway. The employees”

largest shareholder at the moment, the backing of the Norris Group behind Carrie cast a significant shadow. In
comparison, Mr. Ramos’s Highfield Company seemed insignificant. Like expert chess players, everyone
proceeded with heightened caution.
Several executives instinctively stepped back, subtly distancing themselves from Tristan, opting to watch and
wait before aligning themselves. Carrie moved forward and pulled up a chair. The executives slightly frowned.
Previously, when Carrie was the sole buyer, sitting might have been deemed appropriate. But now, with Mr.
Ramos as the predominant shareholder and senior to her, how could she take a seat while he remained
standing?
Tristan assumed his role as the authoritative elder. “Carrie, have | taught you nothing? Mr. Ramos is your elder
and the company’s principal shareholder. How can you sit while your seniors stand? You are not just representing
yourself, you embody the Norris family as a daughter-in-law and a major shareholder. You must uphold the Norris
family’s reputation.”
Kristopher gave Tristan an indifferent glare and retorted sharply, “The honor of the Norris family does not depend
on a woman standing.”
Tristan opened his mouth to respond but held back, choosing silence. Cindy's face clouded with resentment as
she stared at Carrie. How had this cunning woman managed to win over Kristopher? Kristopher had once
seemed indifferent to Carrie, but now, two years into their marriage, they appeared as affectionate as
newlyweds.
Carrie calmly lifted her eyes to Mr. Ramos and asked, “Mr. Ramos, would you like to sit?”
Mr. Ramos, taken aback, glanced at a nearby cushion, quickly picked it up, and placed it on Carrie's chair. “Mrs.
Norris, please take a seat. This chair is quite firm. You'll be more comfortable this way. | should remain standing
to shed sweight.”

Oliver also brought a chair for Kristopher, and the latter straightened his suit jacket before slowly taking his seat.
The moment he sat, a palpable sense of authority emanated from him, causing everyone nearby to become
more reserved and tense.
Carrie met Kristopher’s gaze for a moment, finding reassurance in his steady look. She turned back to face the
crowd, her voice firm and commanding. “The company’s past issues are behind us now, and I've made the
decision to move forward. Those who wish to leave will be compensated. For those who remain, understand this:
exploiting the system as before will no longer be tolerated.”
Many of these individuals had been chosen by Danna for their strength and skill. But when Tristan took control,
he intentionally pushed them aside and even sold off shares to newer investors. As the economy declined, their
dissatisfaction deepened. Eventually, they gave up entirely, and seeing other shareholders profit, they joined in,
charging personal expenses to the company, all disguised as business costs.
From shareholders to mid-level managers, they preyed on the company like vultures, slowly draining it dry. It was
a miracle the business had lasted this long—maybe it was Danna’s spirit watching over them.
