Jasper was clearly humiliating her in front of everyone.


    Sure enough, disdain and contempt clouded everyone’s gazes when they looked at her.


    “You can’t simply give this order just because you’re the CEO! The president should be the one making


    this decision. How could you abuse your power?”


    Having no other alternative but this, Sophia decided to use that to attack Jasper.


    But Jasper merely smirked. “So you mean to say that the president will let Betty off the hook for all her


    hazardous actions?


    “Even if she has stolen another business’ confidential information, cheated and lied to a client,


    intentionally created a counterfeit of an internationally renowned piece of insured jewelry, and caused


    our stocks to plummet-all because she’s the president’s daughter?”


    His words struck Sophia like hidden des.


    The board members watched intently as she trembled in her shoes, at a loss for words.


    “There is no such thing as fairness when ites to the business world. The fairness we see is but an


    borate mask hiding all the parasites underneath.”


    Jasper narrowed his eyes and continued, “As long as I’m CEO of thepany, I will never let those


    parasites see daylight, no matter how much they try.”


    Not a single word from him had mentioned Sophia. Yet it was undoubtedly a harsh whipping on


    Sophia’s


    person and pride.


    The atmosphere was heavy and silent for several seconds before the members slowly pped their


    hands together, creating a thunderous round of apuse.


    Post-meeting, Sophia’s hysterical fit had spread throughout thepany like wildfire. Everyone


    gathered


    tough and make fun of her in their spare time.


    What kind of etiquette was this, barging into an important meeting?


    Who in their sane mind would do something like that?


    The action n was also emailed to everyone.


    “Finally! I knew those prayers worked!” an employee cried in relief after reading about Betty’s dismissal.


    “What prayers? You should be thanking Mr. Jasper! I’m going to pray to him from now on instead!”


    “Does this count as denouncing her from their family?”


    “Bah! Of course, it does! It’s not like they’re from the same mother!”


    “Hahaha! Good riddance to Betty Beckett!”


    It wasn’t a promotion or a raise, but the news brought tremendous joy to many staff.


    Xavier was buzzing with glee in Jasper’s office. “Seeing that old witch losing herposure was such


    a


    hit, sir! Didn’t even need an actual hit to feel so good!”


    Jasper shot him a look. “Do you often get a hit? Are you that stressed?”


    “Uh, no, of course not!” Xavier shook his head frantically. “It’s just a metaphor, Mr. Jasper!”


    Jasper sat down in his lounge. “Has the investigationmenced?”


    “My sources say Madam’s mutt of a secretary has handed all their avable evidence to the


    Investigation


    Bureau. They’ve also issued a travel ban for Betty. There’s no escape for her now!” Xavier eximed


    happily.


    Jasper hummed in acknowledgment.


    Alyssa was the one who served this justice unto Betty and Sophia. He only helped here and there


    wherever he could.


    “By the way, sir, I’ve asked what happened the other night at the hospital. Madam had a gastritis attack


    and had to stay past midnight at the hospital.”


    Jasper pursed his lips, worry clouding his heart.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “So… Do you want to use this as an excuse to see her, sir? I can get some antacids you can bring to


    her?”


    “Do I need an excuse just to see her?” Jasper scowled.


    “Uh, no. No, of course not …”


    *Plus, why would I go see her in the first ce?”
