Chapter: 620

Iker's expression softened as he remarked, "Norah, I've heard from Hank. He's right. Outsiders aren't as dependable as family. With your parents gone, we're all you have. Do you really trust outsiders over us?"

He added, "We're your family, we wouldn't harm you. If you're not sure, you can start by sharing a bit of the property, then when you trust us more, you can give the rest. We can't bear to see your father's hard work go to waste. Trust us, alright?"

He didn't mention joining the company.

Norah had learned of Iker's plan to join the company for some privileges in the past.

But before he could act, she had instructed Gilda to nip it in the bud.

Norah's eyes gleamed; she could read people well.

Iker seemed nice at first glance, but his kindness didn't run deep, not even as genuine as a friend's. It was clear that all he was after was the wealth she possessed.

Did they truly believe she was some clueless innocent girl? They underestimated her.

With a slight smile, she said, “Truth be told, Uncle Iker, during my time with the Carter family, I learned about management. Running a company wouldn't be beyond me."

The atmosphere was thick with disdainful glances as everyone absorbed Norah's words.

Iker and Hank, seasoned managers, wore expressions dripping with mockery.

Managing a small company was no walk in the park, let alone trying to manage Wilson Group, which would be even more daunting.

Effective management required extensive experience, which was nearly impossible without it.

Iker had firsthand knowledge of this reality. Acknowledging that even Gilda, mentored by his brother, faced challenges in guiding Scott Group in the right direction.

Consequently, the company was in dire straits, worsening by the day and causing considerable concern and financial strain for Iker. He firmly believed that things would be different if he were in charge.

Hank kept his gaze fixed downward, concealing any trace of contempt and ridicule.

“If you believe that management is as straightforward as what's written in textbooks, you're in for a rude awakening."

Drawing from his personal journey of taking charge of a small company, Hank was acutely aware of the unyielding demands of managing it. The intricacies of decision-making, operations, and overall management far surpassed the simplistic theories found in textbooks.

“Managing a company is a tougher nut to crack than you might imagine."

Norah glanced at them but chose not to contest their skepticism.

Having successfully turned around Bryson's near-bankrupt company, Norah believed she also possessed the skills to handle a Listed company.

However, Iker doubted Norah's and Gilda's company management competency and suspected they presented him with fabricated data.

He was unaware that every property under Gilda's supervision had experienced a remarkable turnaround, resulting in significant increases in profit margins.

This crucial information remained confidential and hidden from Iker and his family.
