Chapter 650
Loraine pretended to be surprised. “You mean you don’t understand? What I meant was that even if Moreau Group wants to join us, it’ll also be rejected. So I’d like to thank you for quitting. It saves everyone’s time.”
Colette’s face turned pale. The mocking eyes of the crowd made her feel embarrassed.
Things didn’t go as she had predicted.
Shouldn’t Loraine be the one begging her to join them?
Colette took a deep breath and said in an angry tone, “Loraine, how dare you say that! Do you know that Moreau Group has more than 30 sub brands and has opened close to a thousand top restaurants across the world? How dare you refuse to partner with us? I guess you are only used to low-level brands that are just mediocre like you!”
Moreau Group was a large company.
At this point, the representatives of the popular brands that had decided to partner with Loraine began to have second thoughts. They were all afraid that they would be regarded as low-level brands.
Colette felt very happy with the effect she was creating, and she went even further.
“Now I know why it took the Torres family so long to admit that you are one of them. After all, you know nothing about business management and you only keep embarrassing the family.”
The moment she said this, the place became silent for a few seconds.
Everyone present knew that after Loraine’s identity had been kept a secret after she had been found and taken back by the Torres family. It wasn’t revealed until she was divorced Marco.
What Colette had just said made people ponder on it.
Did the Torres family keep Loraine’s identity a secret to protect her, or because they dislike her?
But to everyone’s surprise, Loraine was not angry with Colette as they had all expected.
account She looked indifferent and had a scornful smile. “Whatever you think or say, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that I’m the heir of the Torres family now. Whether or not you’re comfortable with it is of no importance.”
Colette froze in astonishment.
Loraine went on unhurriedly, “As for the food court project, it’s the business of Universe Group alone. And as the CEO, I can operate it anyhow I want. An outsider like you has no right to tell me what to do.”
This was a huge slap in Colette’s face and she wasn’t going to take it lying down.
“It’s a big project. It is not totally up to you! Bryant Group is also involved in the project. I’ll have a talk with Marco!”
She stared at the curtain behind Loraine, thinking that Marco just hadn’t come out from the back stage yet.
Loraine shrugged and said, “Talk to him all you want. But I’d like to inform you that he’s not here. If you want to find him, please go and find him. Don’t interfere with my work here.”
