Chapter 1705 Not As Simple As It Seems
When people online saw Cassandra apologizing, they were in disbelief.
One wrote: Why is she only apologizing now? What was she doing before?

Another typed: Yeah! She’s only apologizing after being exposed. If she wasn’t, would she simply do as she pleased?
A commenter remarked: Is there any evidence that the employees were talking about her behind her back? It seems like an apology, but isn’t it just a covert way of saying it wasn’t her fault?
The netizens were exchanging comments back and forth, seemingly unimpressed by Cassandra’s apology.
Cecilia was also paying attention to the comments online.
She asked Charlotte, “Have you managed to contact those three employees?”
Charlotte was in a bind. “I did, but they refused to forgive Cassandra. They’re adamant about pressing for arbitration.”
“Did you ever ask them what outcome they hoped to achieve from the arbitration?”
“I did, and they demanded compensation. Yet, even when we agreed to triple the compensation, they still insisted on arbitration.” Charlotte couldn’t understand it.
After hearing that, Cecilia turned around and headed for her office. “This matter isn’t as simple as it seems.”
For most people, the aim was to seek solutions to their problems and achieve their own goals.
Those three women desired compensation. The company had even agreed to triple the amount. Generally speaking, most people would have agreed to such terms.
However, they refused to accept it. Even if they had won the arbitration, they could only receive the compensation they were entitled to, and not even a single apology would be given to them. It would be pointless, which was why Cecilia was suspicious about the three.
Charlotte was still engrossed in the livestream when she quickly identified the streamer who had first exposed Cassandra.
The streamer sent another video. In it, she said, “If apologies are enough, what would be the need for police? We will certainly not forgive an apology like the one from Cassandra, devoid of any sincerity.”
Charlotte showed it to Cecilia.
Cecilia then understood those three employees were after more than just compensation and likely had other motives.
She didn’t want to assume the worst of others, but given the situation, she couldn’t help but overthink. “Give me her contact information. I’ll talk to her myself.”
“All right.” Charlotte nodded, handing over the contact information to Cecilia.
Upon receiving the contact information, Cecilia didn’t make a call. Instead, she headed straight to where the
woman lived.

that exposing Cassandra had led to a surge in her follower count. Her sales also skyrocketed, increasing several folds.
The money she was making in a single day was what she used to earn in a month from her previous job.
Her two colleagues also enjoyed a surge in popularity, earning quite a bit.
The three women stayed inside the house, managing the account together.
One of them remarked, “This truly is a blessing in disguise.”
Another agreed. “Yeah, I never thought Cassandra would be so popular. We have so many supporters. We should take on more advertisements and promote more products to make the most of this time and earn money.”
The last nodded. “Yeah, let’s keep going.”
At that moment, there was a knock at the door.
One of the women rose to her feet to open the door.
When she caught sight of Cecilia and Charlotte standing at the door, she was completely taken aback. “M- Ms. Smith?”
For those ordinary employees, seeing Cecilia was akin to assembly line workers from one of the top hundred global corporations catching a glimpse of their CEO.
However, in her case, the CEO was in front of the worker’s house.
The other two women also hurriedly came out to see who it was. Upon seeing Cecilia, they were all taken aback. “Ms. Smith, how come you’re here?”
Upon seeing Cecilia, the prominent influencer who had exposed Cassandra had stars in her eyes. She discreetly turned on her recording device.
After all, Cecilia was Queenie’s biological daughter and Nathaniel’s wife!
If she could expose Cecilia, then their future popularity would undoubtedly surpass all the top live commerce streamers. At least, that was what she believed.
