Chapter 118


    After Maria confirmed Hilda’s story, everyone believed it. Zayne suddenly remembered being overtaken


    by a Bentley when he was on the way there.


    “Kai, did you hire a private Bentley just to get ahead of me? You must’ve spent a fortune! Is that really


    necessary?” Zayne asked Kai scornfully. Determined to not give in, he desperately tried to discredit


    Kai.


    “No, that’s not it! It was Kai’s friend.” Hilda once again defended Kai. She hated it whenever someone


    looked down on Kai.


    “Hmph! Do you really think he has a friend who could afford a Bentley? If so, you’re too naive! I bet


    you’re the only one who believes him.” Zayne mocked then he turned and asked the others, “Do you


    guys believe Kai?”


    “No way! He’s so poor! There’s no way he could have a rich friend.”


    “Yeah, he’s bluffing. I could bluff too and say that I have a friend who owns a private jet!”


    “He can bluff all he wants, but he should know the limits! He’s too poor to make such a statement.”


    Everyone took their turn to ridicule Kai.


    Despite having seen it with her own eyes, Maria was adamant that the Bentley driver wasn’t Kai’s


    friend. Out of all of them, Hilda was the only one who believed Kai.

    Upon seeing that Kai had kept quiet the whole time, Zayne assumed that he had caught Kai with his


    pants down. He then yelled out cheerily, “Let’s go in! Mr. Jennings is waiting for us. Before that, let me


    be clear about one thing. Whoever dares to get under Mr. Jennings’ skin today, that person’s doomed.”


    Everyone nodded. Obviously, no one would dare to defy Zayne, let alone Xavier.


    Zayne led all of them to a private room Xavier had booked for them. Before going in, everyone was


    very self-conscious about how they looked. They wanted to look their best for Xavier.


    But when they were doing that, Kai went ahead and opened the door abruptly before going in. That had


    definitely caught Zayne by surprise, and he was infuriated.


    Fortunately for them, Xavier hadn’t arrived yet.


    “Kai! Are you crazy? How could you just open the door as you wish? Lucky for you Mr. Jennings hasn’t


    arrived yet. Or else he’d have been pissed off!” Zayne roared at Kai.


    The others followed suit. They were worried that his actions might get them in trouble.


    Unperturbed, Kai asked them sarcastically, “So? How else could I get in? Was I supposed to beg


    beforehand? Were your ancestors all ves or something?”


    Kai’s degrading words got the others even more worked up. Especially Zayne, his face was flushed.


    “Kai, what gives you the right to act like you’re above all of us? ves, you say? Fine! Don’te back


    to work anymore so you don’t have to be a ve as well! I could fire you right now!” Zayne was fuming


    at the top of his lungs.


    The others were equally pissed. They wanted Zayne to fire Kai right away.


    Maria was also ring at Kai with anger. How dare you bite the hand that feeds you? Did you forget


    where you came from?


    Hilda was the only person who tried to speak up for Kai. “Kai didn’t mean it, Mr. Carlson. Please calm


    down.”


    Hilda was worried that Kai might actually get fired from such a lucrative job.


    “You’re not capable of firing me,” Kai said with an arrogant tone. Even Xavier wanted me to stay. Do


    you think you can fire me as you wish?


    “What did you say? I’m the manager of the sales department! I have the final say in every matter!


    You’re an insignificant worker! Even if Mr. Jennings wishes to keep you around, I can definitely overrule


    him. I’m the most powerful person in the sales department!” Zayne’s face was contorted with rage.
