No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!-Chapter 131 Pressure
She loves talking to her cactus.
Word of this eventually made its way to the ears of her drama teacher.
An old professor who had been teaching drama for several decades stroked his beard and mused, "This child might be a prodigy."
After all, geniuses always differ from ordinary people, especially for people in the arts.
The stranger one behaves, the more prodigious their talent normally is.
But in reality, Hannah’s score in the last assessment was the lowest in the department.

Lately, Arnold Simmons has been engrossed in managing the company’s affairs. The senior shareholders on the board have wised up and united to pressurize him.
After all, up until now, Jimmy Simmons has been missing for a considerable amount of time. Although the police have not been able to determine any mishaps, those shareholders on the board are all cunning individuals.
Having lived for many years, they could be awed by Old Sir Simmons’ presence, but now even though Arnold Simmons is ruthlessly effective, these people hold grudges and are unwilling to lower their heads to younger generations.
Even though the profits of the Simmons Group have increased several folds since Arnold Simmons took control, there is still behind-the-scenes gossip.
As long as Jimmy Simmons’ fate is uncertain, the shares he holds will never fall into anyone’s hands, and Arnold Simmons is merely managing the group as a proxy.
Arnold Simmons looked at the various-minded people in the meeting room, his facial expression still extremely cold as he faced the pressure from several individuals. He spoke indifferently, "Since I’m a member of the Simmons Clan, naturally I will dedicate myself fully to it."
Once he finished speaking, the room was buzzing with discussion.
It’s not that people didn’t believe in Arnold Simmons’ ability, as his business acumen was undeniable, it was just that no one could fathom his intentions.
After all, the Simmons family was not good to Arnold Simmons before.
Outsiders might not understand, but insiders knew that Eldest Young Master Simmons – Jimmy Simmons, was impulsive. Whether it was at school or in the company, he didn’t give Arnold Simmons short of troubles and impediments.
Even put the interests aside, even on a personal grudge, Arnold Simmons surely would be the one most hoping for Jimmy Simmons to perish from the outside world. Hence, the old shareholders on the board were most suspicious of Arnold Simmons regarding Jimmy’s case.
Someone brought up the matter of Jimmy Simmons’ disappearance with a severe tone that carried an accusatory hint, "We want to ask President Simmons, it’s already been almost three months. Why is there still no news of Eldest Young Master Simmons? Is it because there isn’t any news, or is President Simmons deliberately concealing something?"
Arnold Simmons looked at the speaker with a noble and chilly countenance, his gaze freezing, causing one to tremble, "I regret the matter about Jimmy, as his uncle, but searching for people is the police’s job. Although I’m willing, I am powerless."
Although his words carry remorse, his tone didn’t carry a thread of emotion, as flat as stating a fact that led to helplessness.
When he’s silent, he’s calm and reserved. His sharp edge and fierce demeanor are hidden, now churning in his eyes, giving one a chilling feeling.
This is a man who instills fear. The few shareholders on the board who hold major shares are most worried that one day Arnold Simmons would settle scores with them. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
They intended to oust Arnold Simmons from his presidency position, but considering the sum of their shares doesn’t surpass those of neutral shareholders, they reluctantly stepped back.
The only feasible plan now is to pray for Jimmy Simmons to return safely. Only his return could potentially overturn Arnold Simmons’ control.
Otherwise, it’s feared that the Simmons Group would soon belong solely to Arnold Simmons.
