Top Notch War God

Chapter 56

Ariya glared at Noelle and gritted her teeth. "You better remember what you said today!" She then turned and walked toward her office.

Noelle shouted after Ariya's retreating figure, "I remember my own words! What's so impressive about a woman who got ahead by selling herself? Be careful your daughter doesn't learn from you, specializing in how to seduce men instead of anything useful! Hahaha!"

Just then, a woman walked in, looked back at where Ariya had gone, and smiled at Noelle. "Noelle, why argue with someone like her? Yesterday, just before we left, Mr. Vance found me and said the HR department is the hardest working team in the group. He wants you to take the team out for some fun for seven days. He even approved an extra two hundred thousand for team building. I'll transfer the money to your card soon."

As soon as Noelle started her afternoon shift, she received a text that two hundred thousand had been deposited into her bank account.

"Everyone, Mr. Vance has rewarded our HR department with two hundred thousand and an overseas trip! Check if there's anything urgent you need to finish up because we're going out soon! To celebrate this bonus for our department, I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight!" Noelle said cheerfully.

Just then, Ariya came out of the restroom. Noelle saw her and suddenly added, "By the way, our guest list for dinner tonight doesn't include Ms. Willis. He's an official and only has time for leaders, so he looks down on us common folks. I'd just embarrass myself, don't you think, Ms. Willis?"

Ariya asked someone nearby what was happening and casually replied, "Sorry, even if you invite me, I really can't make it."

Noelle laughed heartily. "See? I told you Ms. Willis wouldn't have time! I wonder who she'll be with tonight? Is it a leader from another department? Or is she trying to comfort her useless husband since he didn't come home last night?"

Noelle's performance was spot-on, making everyone burst into laughter and look at Ariya with amused expressions.

Ariya straightened her posture and said coldly, "Noelle, this is the last time I'm warning you. Everyone has their limits. Don't keep testing my patience. If I really get angry, you won't be able to handle the consequences!"

Ariya's words hit hard, making everyone shiver; she didn't seem to be joking.

Noelle shot back, unyielding. "You going wild? I've never seen a woman like you dare to act tough in front of me! What can you even do to me? Rob me? Kidnap me? Or lock me up?"

She added, "If you really had the guts, find ten strong guys to take turns with me! I've been looking for a way to vent! Bring it on! If I'm scared, then I wouldn't be in the HR department at Yuvi Group!"

"You're pushing me," Ariya glanced at Noelle, turned back to her office, and called Talon.

"Talon, since Harley killed his father and is a traitor from Serenland, he can't be the chairman of the group. Can you get Ralphy to buy Yuvi Group? I'll take over as chairman and have full control. Don't worry, once Yuvi Group starts making money, I'll pay Ralphy back every cent I owe him!"

Ariya was confident about acquiring Yuvi Group since she already had a good amount of shares.

"Oh?" Talon was a bit surprised; this was the first time Ariya had made such a request.

"Is that not possible?" Ariya's disappointment was evident.

Talon chuckled and replied, "No, it's just surprising. Actually, I already sent Harley to hell yesterday and bought the Vance family's shares too. But for full control… that might be tricky. I promised the Vance family that they'd get thirty percent of the profits every year."

Ariya went from disappointment to joy. "You already bought the shares? Why didn't you tell me yesterday?!"

"You didn't ask," Talon replied, sounding a bit wronged.

"So infuriating! Hmph, I won't talk to you anymore!" Ariya snapped at Talon and quickly hung up.

At that moment, Talon was at Ali's bar, a six-story standalone building where the first three floors were for drinking and meetings, and the back three housed a casino.

Talon ordered casually. "Nightwing, go back to Imperial View Estate, grab the contract from the table, and take it to Ariya. She asked me for power, which isn't like her unless she's in a tough spot. Check who still dares to act so arrogantly now that Harley is dead."

Within two hours, Nightwing reported back, "I found out that the one who offended the lady is a woman named Noelle."

Talon took the investigation report and sneered. "Noelle, Harley's woman, but five years ago, she abused her position to sell a lot of secrets. With this evidence, it should be enough to put her away for seven to eight years, right?"

He added, "Get it done. Remove all the corrupt employees from Yuvi Group, and those with illegal activities should be sent to the police station. This needs to be seen by everyone to help Ariya establish her control!"

"Understood!" Nightwing's eyes flashed with determination as he turned to leave.
