###Chapter 171 I Cannot Live Under The Same Roof With Him

Aaron nodded and raised his eyebrows. "Was it hurried?" He curled his lips, showing his calculating character. "Everyone is used to it, and they have all decided that the person they recommend can take on a big responsibility. I don't have a problem with this. If you decide that you have someone better than Ivelle to serve as project director, you can recommend that person to me any time. As for the final result, it will be the most recent year of Artificial Intelligence in the domestic market."

Someone answered, "So, the AI project will not be discussed for the time being? We won't decide yet whether we'll cancel it or not?"

Aaron nodded, "Yes, in a year, if you decide that Ivelle is not competent, you can recommend other talented people. Remember, my goal is to make achievements with AI within this year, otherwise don't talk nonsense."

"I agree!" Alice opened her mouth, completely losing the soft temperament of the caretaker of the family, and taking on the momentum of a headstrong woman. "After all, we have already invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the AI project, and it has taken so much time and effort. If Miss Ivelle does have the ability to reverse the result a year later, it will also be a great joy. If she does not have the ability, then it is not too late for us to discuss canceling the AI project."

For a moment, the people in the conference room looked at one other and talked amongst themselves, and it was only after a moment that their attention was called. "Since Ma'am Astley has said so, let's just try it all together. If the final result is good, we will all be happy, If it doesn't work out, well it will waste most of Badger's assets, which is the reason why we need Miss Ivelle."

I got up and said, "If I can't make progress in AI after a year, then I will bear the loss of Badger's research investment in AI during this year!"

"Sure!" Some people sneered. "Which family did Miss Ivelle come from? Did she come to the Badger's empire to experience the high life? With the Badgers' investment in AI and their assets of hundreds of million dollars every year, you mark my word, it is easy. The agreement is easy. When she walks away, Badger's loss is still Badger's burden."

I smiled awkwardly, but I was not angry. I said, "I use Samson Electronics' as collateral. If you don't believe it, you can sign a contract. If Badger's AI technology still makes no progress a year later, then Samson Electronics' will be under Badger's control in the form of acquisition. How about that?"

Although Samson Electronics was not big, it was responsible for the research and development of new products that never disappoint people. Most of Astley Group's economic pillars come from Samson Electronics.

At that time, my grandfather said that Samson Electronics belonged to me in order to let Jordan be involved with me for a lifetime. Even if I wanted to leave him completely, I had to remove Samson Electronics' legal commitment from me, which was extremely troublesome.

For a moment, the people in the conference room began to whisper, but Alice looked at me and said, "Miss Ivelle, as far as I know, although you are the wife of President Astley, you do not have the right to control Samson Electronics."

I smiled. "You always know something. Samson Electronics is owned by Jordan, but when Grandpa Astley left two years ago, he already arranged for a lawyer to give me control of Samson Electronics. To be exact, I am now the legal owner of Samson Electronics. Samson Electronics only belongs to Jordan, but the majority does not reside in Astley."

Her face was so gloomy that she stopped talking.

When everyone heard this, everyone stopped questioning me. If Samson Electronics actually belonged to the Badgers, it could be said that it not only would add the technological asset to their group, but also would push them to another corporate height.

No one would reject this advantage.

Coming out of the conference room, Alice blocked my way and looked at me, and said, "Hey Ivelle, let's talk!"

It should be about Samson Electronics. I nodded and glanced at Aaron. "Let's have dinner together later!"

He nodded. "I'll wait for you!"

Alice looked at the interaction between the two of us, frowned in a disgruntled manner. When Aaron left, she looked at me and said, "Do you want to talk in my office?"

I nodded, "Okay, sure."

Alice's office was very cozy. It had a lot of flowers and decorations in it. When she entered the office, she motioned to me to sit down first, and then poured me a cup of coffee.

Sitting in the office chair, she didn't say anything about Samson Electronics directly, but looked at me and said, "How are you and Jordan these days?"

As the older person, there seemed to be nothing appropriate about her question. I said faintly, "We do not see each other, so we do not disturb each other."

She nodded, but without saying a word. She paused for a moment and finally asked, "What are you going to do now?"

"I don't know yet!" My answer has always been a little lukewarm, and she seemed to be a little dissatisfied with it. Still, she didn't say much and just said, "You and Jordan are husband and wife. No matter what the other side has done wrong, what you should do for each other is to solve your problem. To live a good life as husband and wife are not to complain about forcing each other to leave!"

She added a bit painstakingly, "Ivelle, I know that you have been wronged and that you have suffered a lot, but why do you have to say these things? We are a family. Relatives are not enemies. You should not bear it alone. If you resent and blame him, you must remember that you are still husband and wife, and even if you quarrel, you have to solve the problem together. You just can't face it in an evasive way. "

I lowered my eyes, a little bothered. What she said was right, but now the truth was that I could not bear to live under the same roof with Jordan.

When I looked up at her, I said, "Auntie, we're talking about the company, not our home. When we go home and close the door, let's talk about personal matters. If you ask me to come here, we should talk about the company, right?"

She maturely said that there was no problem. I also understood her and even though that she was right. But in this world, the simplest things to say, are the most difficult ones to do.

Seeing that I was a little impatient, she stopped the conversation, sighed slightly, and said, "Well, when we talk about the company, you are betting on Samson Electronics. Do you think that in a year, if you can't change anything, what would happen?"

I raised my eyebrow. "Is my aunt concerned about the Astley Group or is she just thinking about the family? If it's for the Astley family, my aunt doesn't have to worry. Since I dared to bet on Samson Electronics, I was naturally prepared to face the challenges. In addition, grandfather had already transferred Samson Electronics to me when he left, and the processor and the decision were all up to me. To put it bluntly, it is my own business."

This made her a little unhappy. She visibly sank and said, "My father gave you Samson Electronics because he trusts you. I hope you can improve Samson Electronics in the incoming years. I hope you and Jordan will go on forever. I don't want you to gamble with Samson Electronics so impulsively."

Seeing that her face had lost its joy, I got up, looked at her, and said, "You said Grandpa trusts me. Since Grandpa trusts me, I must make decisions with others that even Grandpa can't control. After all, owners don't have to mind others!"
