The moment Aria stepped into the company , the employen chat blew up .
[ Guys , Ms. Son is here ! She’s wearing casual clothes – I almost didn’t recognize her . )
( Ms. Saxon is only twenty two , you know , just the age when most people graduate college . She should be full of youth and energy I
Arla had been at Cole Group for two years . She was almost always seen in a suit , giving off a calm and mature vibe that made people forget just how young she really was
Someone asked , Hey , about that rumar … Did Ms. Saxon really s
y scam 150 million dollars ? [
[ No way ! Don’t listen to that nonsense , we all know better . When she first joined , she didn’t even know much about the business . But in just one month she got the hang of it. In six months , she pulled the company out of a financial crisis and locked in two major deals . With learning skills like that , why wouldn’t she be able to earn 150 million dollars ?
[ Exactly . And don’t forget that Ms. Saxon from the Saxon family . No college degree doesn’t mean she doesn’t study . Some things are just in the genes .
Ding ! The elevator reached the top floor . As Aria walked out , she immediately picked up on the heavy atmosphere in the air .
Ana stepped into the conference room. Around the long table , all the board members were staring at her , surprised .
At the head of the table sat Daniel , face stern , eyes cold , his disapproval clear /
On Daniel’s right sat Liam . He gave Aria a brief glance and said , voice cutting cold , “ Ms. Saxon , since you’re part of Cole Group , you should be following our company dress code .”
The room fell completely silent .
One was their former boss , and the other was the new
newly appointed heir who had only taken over a little more than ten days ago .
And even juicier – they were husband and wife , currently going through a divorce .
The executives stayed silent , watching the drama unfold with barely concealed curiosity .
There was only one empty seat left , all the way at the end of the table — a glaring reminder of her fall in status .
Anyone else would’ve struggled with the humiliation . But Aria was not just anyone
Aria sat down calmly and asked , “ What exactly is the dress code requirement , Mr. Cole ? Only suits count as appropriate attire ? ”
“ What’s going on ? ” Leaning lazily against the back of her chair , Aria draped one hand over the armrest , her whole attitude nonchalant .
Liam glanced at his grandfather , then tapped his fingers twice on a list placed in front of him , the resignation list , before questioning her , “ if you’re planning to leave , why are you dragging the company employees with you ! ”
With that , Liam shoved the paper toward her . “ Seven or eight employees have already resigned . Three of them were crucial to the tech department ”
Aria raised an eyebrow . “ So ? What’s that got to do with me ? ”
Liam was clearly provoked by her easy tone . He slammed his palm on the table . “ You leave , they leave ! Who else could it be because of
Aria asked coolly , “ Where’s your evidence ??
Liam snapped back , “ It’s right in front of us ! What more proof do you need ? ”

Aria answered just as coolly , “ The 150 million dollar investment and the deshares are out in the open too . Why are you all trying in de
The board members shifted uncomfortably , glancing back and forth between the twyd .
Lam’s face darkened . “ We’re talking about employees here . Stop changing the subject ”
Aria laughed lightly , sarcasm laced through her voice . “ And here thought it was something serious . Your really gathered all these people for this Don’t you guys have anything better to do ? ”
Silently , the board members agreed in their hearts .
Aria went on . “ When a problem comes up , instead of looking at yourselves first , you blame others . Liam , you’re not even fit to be a doctor , let alone a president .”
