Chapter 706
Shirley recalled Veronica's advice: In the workplace, only one's capability could solve any problem.
Impulsivity was never the way to solve a problem.
Thinking of that, Shirley restrained the anger in her heart and replied, "Sure. I will give you a
satisfactory answer."
"How long? You know, there's not much time left until the games," Shawn prodded.
The two maintained a strong respect for Veronica before, mainly because of her capability. Second, her
relationship with Matthew made them respect her even more. Now that Matthew was 'dead,' she
dumped the company to Shirley again, so the two of them were naturally dissatisfied.
Just as Shirley was pondering about it, Jayden decided for her, "I will give you a week at most. You'll be
switched to the logistics department if you can't figure it out."
The two were planning to seize power, and she was well aware of that, so her pressure instantly
increased. Clenching her fists, she agreed to their request. After giving them an OK gesture, she

As the office door was slammed shut, Jayden and Shawn smirked at each other with pride in their
eyes.
"Oh, what a young and energetic young lady. Let's just lean back and watch the show." Jayden's lips
curled upward into a sinister smirk.
Shawn leaned back, cracked his neck, twisted his body, and closed his eyes while uttering, "By the
way, Jay, weren't you being too much? The three companies you mentioned won't even spare us a
glance. It's impossible for us to collaborate with any of them. You're trying to make that young lady look
bad, aren't you?"
When Shirley returned to the office, she made herself a cup of coffee, sat at the desk, and looked up
Spinfluence Group, Horizon Group, and Cyberten Holdings. Eventually, she couldn't help but let out a
long sigh.
Conrad was now in charge of the Spinfluence Group, so it was impossible to collaborate with them.
Once he found out that the Vincere Games was Veronica's company, she was afraid he would destroy
them without any effort.
Vincere Games had always been Veronica's painstaking effort, and Shirley knew it better than anyone
else. Holding the pen, she crossed out the Spinfluence Group on the notebook. Only Horizon Group
and Cyberten Holdings were left.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she thought of Wade. He was now the secretary of Talila Gibson, the
president of Horizon Group. Could she ask him for help?
"Oh, forget it. He has already been of great help to me." Shirley shook her head and crossed that idea
out in her mind.
Eventually, her gaze landed on Cyberten Holdings, a large Internet company. Dialing the phone
number, she made an appointment to meet the president. However, the one who answered the call was
the secretary, and she was rejected outright. Helplessly, Shirley grabbed her bag and drove directly to
Cyberten Holdings.
The car she drove was a car given to her by Matthew before. At that time, he had been contacting her
privately to inquire about Veronica's affairs, so this car was a sort of reward for her.

After Shirley went to Cyberten Holdings and walked into the reception of the company's headquarters
building, she handed her business card to the receptionist and explained the purpose of her visit.
Unfortunately, the receptionist wasn't even interested in an unknown e-sports company. He glanced at
her business card contemptuously and refused to take it. "I'm sorry, President Brennan is on a
business trip overseas."
"Business trip? Erm... when will he return?"
Jayden and Shawn only gave her a week. Suppose Mr. Garrick Brennan of Cyberten Holdings was
away on business and didn't return in time. Wouldn't she be forced to rely on Horizon Group instead?
"President Brennan didn’t inform us. He might be out for a week or two," the receptionist said
something casually, then lowered his head and began to tidy up the neat desktop.
Obviously, he wasn't interested in having a long conversation with Shirley. Despite her continued
prodding, he still failed to provide satisfactory responses to her questions. Helplessly, she left the
company and stood beside the road, trying to search for news regarding Garrick Brennan. Sure
enough, she made an interesting discovery.
