“Grandpa, what do you mean?” Madeline was about to ask when she saw him wave his hand and dismissively say, “Go to the meeting!”
As Madeline was about to follow, Charlotte suddenly pushed her away with a disdainful expression and scolded her, “After being a CEO for so many years, don’t you know any manners? Don’t you know that employees should let their leaders go first? Madeline, right now you’re just an ordinary employee of the Kaur’s Group. You need to learn respect for authority or I’ll use my power as CEO and fire you directly!”
Madeline was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes but she could only bite her lip and follow them.
In the meeting room:
“Madeline, it’s my decision to remove you from your position. You offended Asco Entertainment and will have to issue a public apology admitting that Alexander seduced you. Your image will be severely damaged.”
“If I let you continue as CEO it would indirectly affect the reputation of the Kaur’s Group. That’s why I had Charlotte replace you.”
After hearing this news, Madeline’s eyes became even redder. She had been bullied by Alexander but instead of supporting her these people not only didn’t help but also used her as a scapegoat.
“Grandpa,” she said with determination in her voice, “I’ve already reached an agreement with Asco Entertainment. They will issue a public apology on all platforms admitting that Alexander bullied me.”
Madeline bit her lip, tears of frustration welling up in her eyes.
“Asco Entertainment apologized to you? Ha! Are you dreaming?” Charlotte burst out laughing.
“This morning, Asco Entertainment was so aggressive they wanted to crush the Kaur family,” she continued. “And now, less than five hours later, they’re apologizing to you?”
“My dear sister, are you making up excuses just to delay and ask for Alan’s help again?”
“Didn’t Paulina tell you? Alan isn’t even answering her calls!”
“And even if he did answer, do you really think he has the power to talk to Asco Entertainment’s CEO?”
The executives at Kaur Group shook their heads in disbelief at Madeline’s words.
Frank Kaur spoke calmly. “Madeline, I’ve already made my decision about your dismissal. Please don’t bring it up again.”
“I only asked for Flynn to come here so he could see the consequences of his actions.”
“Don’t hate me; hate Flynn instead. He’s the one who caused all this.”
Flynn frowned at his words.
Charlotte smirked and taunted him. “You must be more upset than Madeline since she’ll have someone like you leeching off of her now.”
“Hehe, just as Grandpa said, you caused this situation all by yourself today. Can’t blame anyone else.”
“You better find some junk-picking work to do now because I’m going to exercise my CEO privileges and strip Matteo’s family of their dividends for the next three years.”
“From now on, your family will have to rely on themselves.”
Sad? Flynn coldly chuckled and thought for a moment before saying, “Hmm… I am indeed sad.”
“Saddened by coming to Niarak and running into a bunch of idiots like you!”
“Saddened that Madeline has relatives like you idiots!”
“Didn’t your dad teach you not to call elders by their names directly?”
“If not, I don’t mind teaching you myself!”
Idiot?!
This worthless piece of shit actually called them idiots!
Everyone present had darkened faces.
“You punk! Say it again and I’ll beat the shit out of you!”
“A freeloading piece of crap who went crazy barking like a rabid dog just because we revoked his wife’s position. How pathetic!”
“I suggest kicking this attention-seeking trash out and getting rid of this bad luck thing quickly!”
Charlotte was also very angry and gritted her teeth saying, “You want to teach me? Good! Very good!”
“Keep shouting, I’ll release a CEO order and strip Matteo’s family of their dividends for five years!”
“I won’t have to lay a finger on you when Paulina picks your tendons out!”
Frank’s face was also embarrassed, he said coldly, “Flynn, I’ve always been against you marrying Madeline, but since my son insisted, I didn’t say much.”
“But if you continue to speak so recklessly like this, I will exercise my power as the head of the family and force you out of the house!”
Madeline also felt that Flynn was speaking too harshly and quickly advised, “In this situation, it’s better for you to say less!”
“You object? Who do you think you are?” Flynn looked coldly at Frank, “A head of a third-tier wealthy family dares to point fingers at me?”
“Madeline has already reached a settlement with Asco Entertainment. If you don’t wait for her to explain further and just keep suspecting her, what does that make you? A fool?”
As soon as these words came out, the whole room exploded.
“This bastard… is trying to rebel! Looks like we need to break his legs today! Guards!”
A high-ranking official slammed the table and shouted for security guards.
“Shut up!” Frank’s face turned dark as he spoke in a deep voice, “He complains that we didn’t give Madeline a chance. Well then let me hear how she explains it.”
Madeline said to Frank, “Grandpa, Asco Entertainment has indeed reached a settlement with me. They will apologize publicly on all platforms and Alexander will be banned.”
“This was all said by Teddy May, the CEO of Asco Entertainment. To show his apology, he even punished himself with a drink!”
Upon hearing this, Charlotte burst into uncontrollable laughter. “The CEO of Asco Entertainment said that? And he even punished himself with a drink? Ha ha… Madeline, did the people of Asco Entertainment scare you so much that you’re having hallucinations?”
“Okay, let’s not argue about this anymore. Let’s see what happens.”
“Here’s the deal: if Asco Entertainment really forgives you, then I’ll give you my share of the profits for the next five years.”
“And then I’ll call Flynn ‘dad’ and let him educate me!”
“But if we don’t receive an apology letter from Asco Entertainment today, not only will your family have to give me their share of profits for five years but Flynn will also have to kneel down and slap himself until I’m satisfied!”
Madeline frowned after hearing this and said seriously, “Charlotte, I advise you to think carefully.”
Charlotte sneered, “Do we need to think about something that is guaranteed to win?” She leaned back lightly and crossed her arms around her chest as she looked at Flynn sideways with an expression that seemed like she had already won.
Flynn smiled and replied, “Okay then, just hope you don’t regret it later.”
Charlotte chuckled again, “Of course not!
“Hey, don’t run away. I want to film you slapping yourself in the face and show everyone what a clown you are!” The words had barely left her mouth when the receptionist burst into the room, gasping for breath.
“Ms. Kaur, Estella Hickman from Asco Entertainment is here and she specifically asked to see you,” she said.
“Me?” Charlotte stood up abruptly, her face filled with shock.
The receptionist shook her head repeatedly and turned to Madeline. “No, she’s here to see Madeline Ms. Kaur…”
Charlotte felt embarrassed after hearing this and immediately spoke coldly to Madeline, “I bet you guys didn’t go to Chateau Hotel like I told you. Now they’re coming straight to us.”
“Flynn, don’t forget our bet. Get ready to kneel down and slap your own face!”
