Chapter 58: Public Judgment.
Sophie looked up with a frown at the interruption. Her eyes were cold, like she was tired of her job already. She did not speak immediately, instead her eyes moved slowly, accessing the angry face of the visitor before her. She leaned back in her chair, one hand resting lightly against the desk, her posture relaxed yet commanding. One eyebrow lifted subtly, as if questioning why someone would walk into her office without permission. “Yes?” she said at last, her tone as polite as possible. “Do we have an appointment?”“I’m Lydia Winters,” Lydia said, forcing confidence into her tone. “CEO of Winters Limited. I'm here to discuss something very important that couldn't wait,”Rather than offering her a seat, Sophie continued to observe her under her lashes. She fought the urge to roll her eyes. Ugh. So proud. “I came to understand why our contract was terminated without prior notice,” Lydia continued, her words spilling out quickly. “And why your establishment is attempting to assume co
Chapter 57: Helplessness.
Lydia chuckled, but the sound came out empty and cold. “Mr Jones, I don't appreciate the joke. You cannot—”“This decision is non-reversal,” Mr. Jones cut in calmly, sliding a folder across the table towards her. “Stamped and ordered by the new management. Effective immediately, you will cease operation as the CEO. Security has been instructed to escort you once this meeting ends.”“I refuse to accept this!” Lydia snapped, slamming her palm against the table as she shot to her feet. The chair scraped loudly behind her. “I didn’t sign my company over to Axel, so they have no right to—”“The clause was included in the contract that you signed.” Mr Jones cut her off again with a calm expression. “I'm certain you read it,”“What…?” Lydia blinked as her face paled. She hadn't bothered to read through the damn contract that Leo had brought for her. “Wh…at contract? I di…didn't see any controversial clause,”“I cannot assist you further. If you have any questions or complaints, I suggest yo

“Are the shareholders all gathered?” Lydia asked, a blank look on her face.“Yes ma, but... but there's a…problem,”Lydia stamped an irritated hand on the desk. “You know how much I hate stuttering. Speak up! What happened?”“The shareholders decided to begin the meeting without you. They said you'd join them when you arrived. I'm sorry, ma. I tried to stop them, but they refused to listen.”“What?” Her eyes hardened instantly. “Who the hell ordered a meeting in my company? Is that person asking for death?”“I don't know, ma… but—”“Prepare a few sack letters. Most of those idiots are going to be needing one before the day ends,” Lydia growled as she headed to the meeting room in anger. She pushed open the door with a bang and the shareholders jumped in shock.“So you’ve all graduated to holding meetings without me?” she said stiffly, forcing her voice to stay level even as rage burned behind her eyes. “Let me remind you, this is still my company.”The events of the last few days wer
Chapter 55:
The ballroom was in complete chaos. Half of the guests were filming. Others were just watching. A few hissed angrily, turning to leave, but the security sealed all the exits.“This doesn't make sense! What about us, did you even include us in your decision at all?” A man shouted. “What's going to happen to what we actually think should be done to this local brat?!”Madame Sky sighed. “It's not about that, Mr John. Your solution to dealing with her is through violence and I cannot allow that in my event. If you come up with diplomatic ways to resolve this, then I can listen,”“I'm doing all I can to make sure this event continues uninterrupted. Rest assured, the girl will receive the punishment she deserves,” She added.“At the expense of your guests…? This girl needs some beating to reset her brain! I suggest that security take her out and lash her on the ass twenty times. That shouldn't be enough punishment,”“This is bullshit! If my staff disrespects me like this, I wouldn't care ab
Chapter 54:
Murmurs of agreement rose up in the audience. People shuffled their feets, the disappointment clearly written on their faces. The others grumbled, still wiping at their soiled dresses. “This is so embarrassing! I don't understand, why hasn't security come to pick up this server trash already?!”“I want her locked up!”A woman stormed forward, holding her white flowing gown. “You bitch!” She lurched suddenly at the crying server on the floor, grabbing her hair by the root and dragging it. “I rented this dress to be here and now you've spoiled it, you idiot! What am I going to do now? What?! How am I going to pay for damages!”A loud cry erupted from the woman on her knees as she kept crying. Her entire body was shaking. “Pl…please, I'll pay it. I'll work harder to—”“You'll do nothing of that sort, you hear me?! Even if you sell yourself and your entire useless family, it cannot measure up to this dress, bitch!”The woman grabbed her hair tighter, ignoring the protests from a few gues
Chapter 53;
“It…it was a mistake…” The lady started shakily with tears in her eyes. “I wanted to get—”“Just shut up and stop trying to explain yourself!” Another man shouted, standing to his feet. His white suit was stained with oil and drink, making him look like an eyesore. “What kind of incompetence is this?!”He turned to Madame Sky sharply. “Is this the kind of unreasonable people you hire as staff? Half of us are completely ruined!”The lady dropped to her knees, scrambling for napkins with shaking hands. “Please everybody, I didn’t mean— I’m so sorry—”She turned quickly, clearly intending to run for cleaning supplies. But her panic made things worse. Her foot slipped against the spilled liquid and she fell hard into a nearby table. The impact sent the table crashing sideways against another table until more than half of the tables were overturned against each other. Plates crashed, drinks spilled and guests jumped back in shock. The hall went completely silent as if an earthquake had ju
