Oops, You Fired the Wrong Woman

Linda Bell, heiress to her family's group, kept her name off the record for six months and worked inside Scott Group as an ordinary employee. She was there to honor a childhood betrothal and to get her fiancé Carey Scott's company listed on the exchange. She brought the IPO back from the edge using her family's money and influence without ever saying whose it was. Carey and his assistant Elsie Walter treated her as no one, ignored her warnings, and refused every hand she offered. She stopped hiding it. She told the Scotts who she was in front of the room, cut the financing, and left. Scott Group's stock fell. At the bidding for the project everyone in the industry wanted, she laid out how Elsie had climbed. Carey tried to stop her wedding to Elias and did not manage it. Linda bought Scott Group, cleared out the people who had been there under Carey, and put the crown on her own head.
