Downstairs at the Chambers residence, Yvette finished her breact while in the study, taking in the situation by himself

Lucas became a bit more reserved as he faced Jeremiah. He respectfully said, “Mr. Chavez, Mr. Chambers is busy with some matters and won’t be able to see you off. Would you like me to arrange a car for you?”
Jeremiah nødded politely and said. “No, thank you. I drove here myself” Then, he turned to Yvette and gently squeezed her fingers. He said, “I’m not going back to Argrol University ill pick you up after work.”
Lucas discreetly turned away, pretending not to hear. He thought. They are having sweet talks, I don’t dare to hear and watch.
Yvette nodded, her voice cool and calm as she replied, “Okay, got it.”
Jeremiah nodded at Lucas and then left.
Lucas said, “Ms. Zeller, are you heading to the office now? The layoff list has been posted on the company’s internal website, and I bet it’s already causing a stir.”
Yvette shook her head, her hands in her pockets. She looked naturally cool and a bit rebellious. “To the office, she said. Lucas hesitated and thought, ‘If Ms. Zeller shows up at the office right now, her presence might just cause a scene.
Lucas had already reviewed the list but couldn’t understand how Yvette chose these people. Out of the twenty or so individuals, most were relatives of Nelson and Warron.
They held cushy jobs with ridiculously high salaries and should have been let go long ago. However, there were also a few regular employees who weren’t connected to anyone.
Lucas wondered why Yvette decided to lay off those regular employees, too. He couldn’t guess the reason, but he believed Yvette had her plans. He believed there was some reason behind every person on the list being laid off.
In the Chambers Group, all employees were at their computers early this morning, eyes wide open, hardly daring to blink At 9:15, everyone frantically kept refreshing the company’s internal website.
The rumor about Yvette planning layoffs had already spread throughout Chambers Group. Nobody wanted to lose such a great job with excellent benefits. Everyone silently prayed that they wouldn’t be on the list.
When the layoff list was updated at 9:15, most employees felt relieved and happy. They didn’t expect that almost everyone on the list would be department heads, not small fries like them. They experienced a night of mixed emotions.
Once the employees calmed down and reviewed the list of those laid off, they all felt justice had been served. These peop on the list usually relied on their connections to bully subordinates.
They often used their relationships to pressure others. They were truly obnoxious and never did any real work. The resul that they were fired was incredibly satisfying to all employees.
While some were happy, others were upset. From early in the morning, there was a steady flow of people going in and ou of Nelson and Warron’s offices–all those being let go.
As another man walked out of Nelson’s office looking down, the surrounding employees finally couldn’t help but start gossiping.
One said, “Wow, Ms. Zeller is serious about this, firing so many people right from the start. It’s a bold move, especially si those fired are relatives of two of our board members. She doesn’t care about showing Mr. Hegan and Mr. Osborne resp

Another person said, “Keep your voice down. I’ve heard from inders that Ms. Zeller plans to take special measur Mr. Hegan and Mr. Osborne. I don’t think things will be calm in the near future
One said. “Stop spreading rumors, it’s all just gossip. After all, Megan and Mr. Osborne together hold twenty percent of Chambers Group’s shares.
“Even if Ms. Zeller wants to go against them, she can only do so much. I doubt it will lead to anything substantial”
Another person added, “Alright, let’s go, whether it becomes important or not doesn’t concern us. What happens in management isn’t our problem. Let’s get back to work.”
Just as the words were said, Nelson’s secretary walked in, deliberately wearing her business attire in a revealing way.
When the gossipers saw her enter, they quickly dispersed. This secretary was no pushover and had a close relationship with Nelson.
Wearing a tight pencil skirt, the secretary sashayed into Nelson’s office. She gave Nelson a flirty glance and asked in a playful voice, “Mr. Hegan, why is my name on the resignation list? You have to help me out!”
All morning, Nelson was pestered by the relatives he had placed in Chambers Group, leaving him with a headache. He thought, Yvette is indeed a force to be reckoned with.
“There is no room for negotiation. Everyone that Warren and I brought in is on the layoff list without exception. She is goin to uproot us completely; how ruthless she is!‘
Seeing his beloved secretary come in, Nelson’s expression improved a bit. But when he heard her sniffling words, he was so angry that he threw the documents in his hand right at her chest
Nelson roared, “What’s there to cry about? What’s the big idea of being fired? There are other good jobs besides Chambers Group. You’re not going to suffer following me”
The secretary was startled and didn’t dare to speak, standing anxiously at the side and quickly apologizing, “I’m sorry, Mr. Hegan, I didn’t mean to. I was trying to stand up for you.
“The people on the list are all your trusted aides. Are they really just going to be dismissed by Ms. Zeller without a word?” Nelson let out a cold snort. He thought, ‘Foolish woman. Yvette is the eldest daughter of the Chambers family, and Zacha holds fifty–five percent of the Chambers Group’s shares. It is the Chambers family who has the final say.
‘What could shareholders like us possibly say about her discussing the dismissal of a few people? But I didn’t expect Zach to give up his power so quickly this time, leaving us no time to prepare.
‘Luckily, I have already considered this. Since Yvette is being ruthless, I won’t hesitate to ignore any prior friendship with Zachary. As long as that man does as instructed, Yvette’s reputation will be ruined.
‘Goddess of Clusia? No way. She’ll end up disgraced and be kicked out of the Chambers Group!‘
Nelson didn’t have time to appease his secretary. He asked, “Has Yvette come to the office yet?” He thought, ‘Does she fe guilty and not dare to come?‘
The secretary wiped her tears and softly said, “Mr. Hegan, Ms. Zeller is already on the top floor, in her office now.” Nelson thought for a moment and immediately took out his phone and sent a message to an unknown number: [Start y plan in half an hour. If it works, I’ll give you another 660 thousand dollars.]
After sending the message, Nelson stared at the corner of the table and chuckled. He was curious to see how Yvette wou handle the situation that was about to unfold.
Nelson beckoned his secretary over. The secretary hurriedly approached, and Nelson whispered something to her, cau
