Chapter 483
“Fine,” Michelle sneered. “Let’s see who the chief editor sides with!”
“Enough!” Suddenly, Kate was standing behind them, her expression stern and displeased. Seeing them argue without regard for their colleagues’ presence made her even more upset.
Michelle quickly turned to Kate and said, “Chief Editor, you’re just in time. Please judge this fairly. They ruined my work and damaged my reputation. I was about to secure an exclusive interview with Miranda, a rising star, which would have brought tremendous benefits to us. But they…”
“Enough!” Kate cut her off, her cold gaze fixed on Michelle.
Michelle, trying to appear calm but feeling a bit panicked, she stammered, “Chief Editor, I’m telling the truth.”
“Do you even realize what you’ve done?” Kate questioned sternly. “Miranda’s reputation is already in shambles. Her actions have caused public outrage, and she might even get blacklisted. And yet you’re talking about this? Those inaccurate reports you published have severely affected the station’s reputation. Do you understand the gravity of your actions?”
Michelle’s face turned pale as she tried to explain, “It’s not like that. They were the ones who…”
“You still don’t understand your mistakes!” Kate’s voice was cold. “Because of you, I was reprimanded by the station head. He accused me of having a traitor in my department! If it weren’t for Nina and Angel exposing Miranda’s misconduct under Starry Sky’s name, do you know what could have happened if another station had reported it first? You would have ruined the entire Starry Sky TV station!”
The severity of Kate’s words made Michelle’s legs go weak. “Chief Editor, I didn’t mean to. I was trying to help Starry Sky by chasing big stories and boosting our ratings!”
Kate’s disappointment was clear. “You’re fired.”
Michelle felt as if she had been thrown into a pit of despair. Her eyes widened in disbelief. She, the station’s star reporter, was being dismissed.
She grabbed Kate’s hand, pleading, “Chief Editor, you can’t fire me. Even if I made a mistake, I’ve had so many achievements! Please, give me another chance. I won’t make the same mistake again. Please forgive me this once!”
Kate remained unmoved, her gaze still cold. “I’ve already given you a chance. This time, it’s not my decision. The station head himself demanded your termination. You’ve violated journalistic ethics. Keeping you at Starry Sky would betray our audience’s trust. Pack your things and leave.”
She pulled her hand away from Michelle.
Michelle could not believe her fate. She had once been at the top, and now she was being thrown out.
Desperate, she continued to beg, “Chief Editor, please don’t fire me. I’ll change, I promise! Just give me one more chance!”
Kate ignored her pleas and called out, “Security, escort her out!”
At her command, the security guards entered, dragging Michelle out and gathering her belongings.
“Chief Editor!” Michelle continued to struggle, unwilling to leave.
No matter how much she cried and fought, there was nothing she could do.
Desperately, she turned her anger towards Nina, glaring at her with hatred. “This is all your fault, you bitch! You plotted against me. I won’t let you get away with this. I will make you pay!”
