Chapter 457 Workplace Gaslighting 

Seraphina walked straight over and settled onto the sofa, extending her hand. Thomas handed her the documents without a word

Honestly, our company has been thriving this past year, with project after project, yet it seems you’re not really involved, are you?She remarked, her tone smooth yet cutting

Artificial intelligence was the product of her relentless push. The large projects were the results of Sivir’s management. The rest were merely attracted to Cross Group’s brand for collaboration

In this case, what was the purpose of maintaining a project team

Joseph glanced nervously at Sivir. Yet Sivir sat silently beside him, his expression cold, and didn’t speak up on Joseph’s behalf

Ma’am, I-” 

Seraphina raised her hand, cutting him off with a soft smile

Highlevel discussions have always taken place upstairs. The reason I’ve come down this time is to see how the company’s pests have been nurtured.” 

Seraphina delivered each word with a deceptively gentle tone that instilled a deep sense of dread

This was far more terrifying than a boss’s harsh scolding

Joseph felt a chill sweep over him, his body trembling. The thought of being laid off at nearly forty left him feeling cornered

Ma’am, I’ll make sure they work properly right away!” 

Seraphina smiled slightly, her voice cool

Don’t rush to make promises, Joseph. Anyone who gets into this company is top of the cream. Those who remain on your project team are the elite of the elite. You’ve turned a group of talents into this disgrace. How do you plan to compensate the company for its losses?” 

Joseph felt his strength drain away, his legs trembling

As a senior executive at Cross Group with a sevenfigure salary, his entire family depended on him. What would happen to them if he lost his job

Would they be forced to live on air

Fear gripped him, nearly paralyzing him. Although Seraphina had been with the company for a short time, her reputation for decisiveness was well known

She had previously dared to challenge the shareholders; was it now his turn

Ms. Crosshe managed to utter

Seraphina turned her gaze away, her tone shifting to one of courtesy

Chapter 457 Workplace Gaslighting 

Finished 

one left standing. My father kept you for my brother, not because you hadn’t taken sides but because your 

abilities were undeniable

Yet, when life becomes too comfortable, it breeds complacency

Today, I can no longer tolerate my subordinates living like this

I offer you two choices: either you resign, and it looks good for both of us; or you stand up and lead the project team out of this mess.” 

The air grew tense and fell quiet for several seconds

Joseph suddenly looked up at her, disbelief etched on his face. Could he really continue on after everything

But with no choice left, he stood up with fervor

I can do it! I will ensure the project is successful, whatever it takes. I promise to give it my all!” 

He was practically ready to swear on it

Seraphina smiled again, casting a glance at Sivir before turning back to Joseph

Then let’s proceed with this new direction. Review the materials I’ve provided. Once you’re done, we can discuss the next steps.” 

With that, she stood up and left, her demeanor composed and decisive, just as it had been upon her 

arrival

Sivir stood, patting Joseph on the shoulder, his tone chilly. You should thank Seraphina; she’s the reason you’re still here.” 

Without Seraphina, Joseph would have already lost his job

A cold shiver ran down Joseph’s spine

Katie entered, carrying a coffee. Joseph, have my cousins left already?” 

Joseph shot her a complicated glance, biting his lip as he gestured toward her small desk

You should clear out your things. From now on, you’re no different from anyone else. You should complete the tasks assigned to you

Katie’s expression changed immediately. She asked, Is there some misunderstanding? You just saw that Seraphina and Sivir are my cousins!” 

There’s no misunderstanding. The company treats everyone equally. Besides, I suggest you change the family photo on your computer desktop. We can’t have such bad influences lingering in the office. Talent should always come first.” 

Joseph took a deep breath. As a man on the verge of losing his job, he needed to tread carefully at every step

Wwhy is this happening?”
