Mr. Powell Is Hunting for His Wife novel Chapter 55

Ashley’s resignation caused quite a stir in the perfume business of Sliwell City.

Everyone in town knew that Ashley was the second perfumer below Mirabelle in town. They couldn’t help wondering what she had done to make Powell Group give up on her.

However, more people were more curious to know who would replace Ashley and become the manager of the perfume department.

Mirabelle’s finger swiped on the tablet. The more she read, the colder her eyes became.

In the end, she tossed the tablet aside.

Who else could replace Ashley? It must be Anna.

Nobody but Anna in Powell Group could replace Ashley to be the manager of the perfume department.

Mirabelle bit her bottom lip in anger.

Her title as the chief perfumer in Sliwell City wasn’t real, but she stole it from someone else.

She knew how capable Ashley was in blending, which was better than hers.

If Powell Group fired Ashley, Mirabelle must contribute to the perfume blending.

Thinking of that, Mirabelle had a cold light flashing through her eyes.

She picked up her cell phone. After thinking for a moment, she dialed a number.

“Still the rules before. Tell me who the current manager of the perfume department is.”

After a few minutes, the person on the other end of the line answered, “It should be Anna Miller.”

“Okay. As our agreement, I’ll transfer a million to your bank account.”

After hanging up the phone, Mirabelle tossed the cell phone onto her bed reluctantly.

As Brooklyn’s fiancée, she had suggested that she was capable to be the manager of the perfume department of Powell Group but was rejected by him on different excuses.

No matter how skilled Anna was in blending, she didn’t have any qualifications or background. Why would she be qualified to become the manager of the perfume department shortly after she had joined the company?

Late at night, Mirabelle didn’t sleep. She was sitting in the living room, waiting for Brooklyn.

The servants had tried so many times to convince her, but she refused.

The servants of Powell’s villa sighed, wondering what happened between Ms. Moss and Mr. Powell.

Mirabelle wrapped her coat tightly. She couldn’t help but trot to the garage to wait for him.

When she saw the black Bentley, a light flashed through her eyes.

However, the man sitting in the car seemed not to see her at all. The car was driven into the garage directly. When Brooklyn left the garage, he saw Mirabelle, who was waiting next to the garage, from the corner of her eyes.

He raised his brows slightly and asked in a cold tone, “Why are you here?”

Finishing his words, he put the car key into her pocket and walked to the villa.

Mirabelle followed him. “Brooklyn, I heard Ashley resigned today.”

Afraid that he was unhappy, she sounded quite timid and gentle.

The man hummed indifferently. “How did you know it?”

Cold sweat oozed on her back.

Brooklyn disgusted it the most when outsiders tried to spy on Powell Group’s business intelligence, and even Mirabelle wasn’t an exception.

Pressing her lips, she said in a gentle tone, “The media has released a lot of news about it. I read it not long ago. I’m a bit worried, so I came to wait for you at the garage.”

Although Mirabelle sounded honest, inwardly that was not her purpose.

Brooklyn paused his pace. Glancing at Mirabelle seriously and curling up his lip, he didn’t expose what was in her mind.

“It’s just a manager who resigned.” Brooklyn walked into the villa, loosened his necktie, and handed it over to the butler.

Mirabelle took the chance and recommended herself, “Brooklyn, I’m not busy with my work. If the company needs me, I can be the manager of the perfume department. My blending skill is higher than Ashley. In the future, we’ll get married sooner or later. I can get familiar with Powell Group...”

“Enough!” Brooklyn frowned.

Mirabelle was startled for a few seconds. When she returned her senses, she realized that she had made a mistake just now.

“Mirabelle Moss, you saved my life before, which I quite appreciate. I’ll keep my promise to take care of you and marry you, but you can’t meddle in Powell Group. No matter how many managers like Ashley have quit, there would be more suitable replacements. You’ll never be one of them!”

After finishing speaking, without sparing a glance at Mirabelle, who stiffed, Brooklyn strode to his study.

He sat at the desk, feeling exhausted. Putting the phone to his ear, he said in a tiring tone, “Harper, have you found who disclose our business intelligence?”

Harper had just got home as well. Before changing into casual clothes, he got the call from his boss. He immediately swiped to answer.

“We’ve found some clues.”

As he spoke, he gave Brooklyn a name.

Brooklyn had some impression about that name.

A wave of anger appeared on his handsome face.

After a moment, he slowly ordered Harper, “We’d better not to alert him first. If he exposed the information to Mirabelle Moss again, we’ll deal with him with the evidence.”

Harper nodded, and another phone of his suddenly started ringing.

“Sorry, Mr. Powell. Please hold on for a moment.”

Harper unlocked the screen, read the message, and saved it in silence.

“Mr. Powell, I’ve got the evidence of that person who sold the information to Ms. Mirabelle Moss, but...” Harper paused before continuing, “That person probably is also involved in selling other business intelligence of our company.”

Brooklyn smiled.

His slender fingers knocked on the edge of the desk.

He had originally planned to make Anna the manager of the perfume department.

The perfumed made by Ashley in the past few years had been not worthy of her name long ago.

Mirabelle and Ashley had been competing for the title of the chief perfumer in town. After Ashley resigned, based on her disgust and jealousy of Anna, Mirabelle would easily target Anna.

In the perfume business of Sliwell City, Moss Group was the second most famous below Powell Group.

Anna was just a perfumer without any background. After she had conflicts with Mirabelle and was targeted by her, Anna could only ask Brooklyn for help.

In that case, the secrets in Anna would have to be exposed to him.

“Mr. Powell?” Harper couldn’t understand.

Someone had sold out the company confidential information, but why was Mr. Powell so delighted?

“Probably he would make another move recently.” Brooklyn’s deep voice was heard slowly. “The major perfume of this season will be put in the market soon. If he sells out the company confidential information, he wouldn’t miss the chance.”

As he spoke, Brooklyn lit a cigarette, light smoke rising from his lips.

“Keep an eye on him. Find out who has bought the information.” Brooklyn spat out a few circles of smoke. He stared at the computer screen lazily, his deep eyes becoming meaningful.

...

Since she had known that Brooklyn set her up, Diana felt quite unhappy.

After arriving home and sending the kids to bed, she didn’t sleep for a whole night.

She wondered if Harper had told Brooklyn that she wasn’t willing to become the manager of the perfume department.

Before coming to Sliwell City, Diana had investigated the general forces in the perfume business in town.

If Mirabelle would start to target her right now...

Thinking of that, Diana bit her bottom lip.

She didn’t have many trump cards in hand yet.

If the situation would put the lives of Emily and Austin in danger, she could only ask Brooklyn for help.

Otherwise, she had to give up on taking revenge.
