Sweet Submission: Reclaiming Her Love

Chapter 24 A Show
Corynn didn’t rest even after settling the matter with the engineers. She told Tia to conduct a survey within the company asking
whether the employees wanted to stay or go. Whoever wishes to leave would be let go that same day with their salary of the
month.
Corynn didn’t need people whose loyalties wavered at the slightest shift in power, nor was she interested in having them close to
her.
Before long, Tia was knocking on her office door with the roster.
“Come in,” Corynn called out.
Ta looked troubled as she walked into the room and sat in front of Corynn’s desk. “I have the results, Miss
Harper. I’m afraid that half of the total workforce has left.”
Corynn wasn’t surprised by this outcome. “I see.”
“Miss Harper, are you certain that our company won’t go bankrupt?” There was a hint of worry in Tia’s tone.
Corynn looked her in the eye and nodded. “Yes. Trust me on this. We won’t have further issues with delivery.”
*All right.” Tia breathed a sigh of relief and took her leave.
Needless to say, news of mass resignations at Harper Group quickly made the rounds on the Internet, sparking numerous online
discussions. Apart from Corynn and Erick, everyone was convinced that the company was heading for its ultimate downfall.
And it was exactly how Corynn wanted things to play out. She needed the misinformation to spread, so that they could mislead

Amanda and catch her off–guard.
Sure enough, the news also reached Amanda. She simply smiled and went on with her day like usual.
Amanda had to admit that Corynn was more persistent than she had ever anticipated, but in the end, it was her who held true
power.

Unable to resist, Amanda eventually leaked the Harper Group’s pathetic state to the media. The vultures descended almost
instantly, picking the company apart on any and all platforms available.
When she was done, Amanda ordered a maid to bring her phone over, then she called Corynn.
“What do you want?” was the first thing Corynn said.
“Have you made a decision yet?” Amanda drawled out. “Will you take the money and leave Orelens, or will you watch the Harper
Group collapse?”
“Like I said before, my only answer is that you and Elliot leave the city yourselves,” Corynn retorted, sounding utterly exhausted.
Amanda smirked. “Corynn, Corynn. You should know by now that you will never win against me. All eyes are

on your company as we speak, waiting for your next big blunder to see if it would be the death blow everyone is waiting for.”
“Yeah, right, dream on! I’m not going anywhere!” With that, Corynn hung up abruptly.
Amanda’s upper lip curled in disdain, and she let out a string of expletives. Even when backed into a corner,
Corynn was still refusing to yield.
It made Amanda wonder just how long the bitch could keep this up.
On the other side, Corynn’s expression eased up as she tossed her phone aside.

The act was necessary to fool Amanda into complacency.
That evening, Corynn donned a black, low–cut gown and carefully applied light makeup. Then she went to a
certain club.
It had come to her knowledge that several business partners of the Harper Group were meeting there. Her plan was to make a
show of pleading for their help, then leave in despair once they rejected her.

Corynn strode confidently into the establishment and headed straight for a private room on the second floor.
Instead of barging inside, she intercepted a waiter carrying a tray of glasses filled with wine. She took it from him, saying that she
would bring it over herself.
The moment she stepped through the door, she was almost blinded by the flashing lights. Loud, pulsing music blasted through
the speakers, and the smell of alcohol was thick in the air.
There was a mix of men and women dancing intimately in the middle of the room, while a handful of men were playing poker
around the coffee table.
Corynn walked over and set the tray down. “Liam, Aron,” she called out softly.
Everyone around the table looked up in unison, their faces bearing similar expressions of surprise. Liam grinned. “Corynn! What
brings you here?”
Corynn tugged at the hem of her dress, looking uncomfortable. “I need your help. My father and I are running out of options.”
Aron frowned, looking a little troubled. “Look, Corynn, it’s not that we don’t want to help, it’s just that...” He trailed off with a
dramatic sigh.
Liam spoke again. “Corynn, we’ve worked with your father for years. If we were in a position to help, we would have already
done so. But this is the Willis family we’re talking about. We can’t afford to offend them in any way.”
Corynn lowered her head and made her eyes tear up. She stayed like that for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and
forcing a smile. “I understand. Sorry for interrupting you, I won’t bother you any further.” She turned to leave, and was walking to
the door when someone called after her. “Corynn, wait!”
