Hunter wore a complicated expression as he heard the news.
Just then, Julian knocked and entered. Hunter hung up the phone to hear Julian report,
"Miss Rose’s car just pulled into the garage, Mr. Collins. Some of the subsidiary heads have concerns about Miss Rose never attending the regular meetings. Should I address it before she arrives?"
"No need," Hunter replied in a nonchalant tone. "I will explain."
"I’ll go get Miss Rose now. It would be helpful for someone to guide Rosemary on her first visit to the corporation."
"I will go."
Hunter rose and left the office immediately.
Julian hadn’t expected Hunter to take care of even this small matter personally. It seemed he truly spoiled his sister.
After parking her car, Rosemary received a call from Jack.
"Miss Rose, we’ve found out about Carol’s family background. I’ve sent the information to you. If our people got it right, this is definitely her family."
Rosemary was swamped with work, and to make things worse, Serena had been giving her trouble these past few days.
"Miss Rose, are you going overseas again? This time it’s—?"
"My grandfather’s illness."
Jack understood and didn’t inquire further, but he was contemplating how to extract her grandfather’s address from her so he could secretly arrange for protection.
After all, as long as that group of people remained, every day held danger for Rosemary.
"No need to arrange for anyone. I can handle it myself," Rosemary said, ending the call before Jack could protest.
There were many elevators from the parking lot to the upper floors. Rosemary took the closest one, C2, and according to the floor guide inside the elevator, she went directly to the 20th floor.
Even though she had visited the McMillian Corporation before, the Collins Corporation impressed her on her first visit. It was grand and beautiful.
Meanwhile, Hunter had descended to the basement from the C1 exclusive elevator. Seeing that his sister’s car was parked there, he assumed she had gone upstairs.
Julian was surprised at Miss Rose’s speed. Seeing the C2 elevator stopped on the 20th floor, he knew without a doubt that Miss Rose was heading straight to the conference room.
"Mr. Collins, shall we proceed to the conference room?"
"Hmm."
As Rosemary stepped into the conference room, all eyes turned toward her.
The conference room was spacious and well-lit. Over twenty subsidiary heads sat around an oval table—these were the highest-ranking officials of the Collins Corporation’s subsidiaries in Summerfield.
The heads of other subsidiaries in national and international cities would join meetings at the corporation at different times, not participating in today’s meeting.
Rosemary hadn’t expected everyone besides her and Hunter to be present, let alone that her seat was right next to Hunter’s.
As soon as she sat down, the snide comments began.
"So this is the notorious Ms. Rose? It’s a pleasure to finally meet you in person."
"Young people sure do things differently. I heard you rarely show up at the office, yet you still draw a salary every month."
"Not even attending regular meetings. I wonder—how does one get such treatment?"
"We here are always working day in and day out, like spinning tops. Everyone is either losing hair or gaining weight. You seem to be in quite good shape—your work must be relaxing."
At the entrance, Hunter—his eyes suddenly icy—didn’t expect this crowd to dare speak about his sister in such a way.
