Meanwhile, Michael sat heavily in the car, distracted. He leaned back, rubbing his forehead.
Suddenly, his phone rang loudly. It was Dave calling.
Michael answered the call, hearing Dave’s cold voice. “We’ve found the driver behind the crash.”
Michael’s expression hardened. He sat up straight and asked firmly, “Where is he? I need to see him myself.”
Meanwhile, Bianca had taken a few days off to focus on learning about starting a business.
Maybe it was Josh’s interference, but the once-popular question “Did Zoey quit today?” had disappeared within two days, with hardly anyone discussing it online anymore.
As time passed, the public gradually forgot about it, allowing Zoey to maintain her arrogant attitude.
But Bianca wasn’t going to forgive Zoey so quickly.
After two days, Bianca returned to Phoenix Entertainment.
She looked up at the impressive building illuminated by the sunrise. She remembered her first interview here, full of hope and dreams.
But today was different. Today, she was prepared to say goodbye to the place she once wanted to join.
Bianca walked inside, looking confident. She was dressed smartly, her hair pulled back in a ponytail that swayed as she walked.
After disappearing for a couple of days, Bianca reappeared at the office, instantly grabbing everyone’s attention.
“Hey, Bianca’s back. Zoey is still in charge, though. Do you think Bianca’s here to confront her?”
“It seems like Bianca’s ready for a face-off with Zoey.”
“This is going to be interesting. Let’s follow and see what unfolds.”
They followed Bianca all the way to Zoey’s office.
Bianca burst into Zoey’s office without knocking, causing the people behind her to gasp. She was determined today, showing no respect for Zoey.
But Bianca had won their bet, and she walked in with confidence.
Zoey was casually sitting in her chair, playing with her phone. The noise made her look up, and she saw Bianca taking her picture.
The sudden flash surprised Zoey, making her squint and demand, “Bianca Scott, what’s going on?”
Without saying a word, Bianca posted the photo on her Twitter for her many followers, starting a conversation with the caption, “Did Zoey quit today? No, she did not.”
The topic, which had faded, was now buzzing online. People were discussing.
“Zoey should step down after losing. Why is she still holding on?”
“She must have powerful support if she’s staying quiet.”
“Phoenix Entertainment is in trouble.”
“If Zoey doesn’t resign soon, I’m done with Phoenix Entertainment.”
Bianca walked past Zoey without a glance and took the elevator to the human resources department. When she arrived, everyone was surprised to see her. They exchanged confused looks, wondering why she was there.
Then, Bianca forcefully placed her work card and resignation letter on the desk of the personnel director.
“Bianca, what’s happening?” the director asked, staring at her in confusion.
Bianca smiled and said plainly, “I’m resigning.”
“What?”
The director and Bianca’s colleagues were shocked by her announcement.
“Did she really just say she’s quitting?”
Confusion filled the room. Bianca had just achieved a big win and should have been celebrating. So why was she resigning now? Did it have something to do with Zoey?
Amidst the surprise, Bianca calmly took out her phone and made a post.
She typed, “Did I resign today? Yes, I did.”
She posted a photo of the resignation letter she had just submitted.
Her post immediately went viral, causing a huge reaction online.
Netizens shared their heated opinions:
“Why isn’t Zoey resigning after Bianca’s victory? Something’s not right.”
“It seems like Zoey forced Bianca out. There must be more to this.”
“I’m disappointed in how Phoenix Entertainment is handling everything!”
“We should boycott Phoenix Entertainment. This isn’t how a company should operate in our industry!”
Dave was in a business meeting when his phone buzzed with an alert that caught his attention.
It read: “This is crazy! Bianca Scott, who just won a bet, has quit unexpectedly, causing a commotion.
Instead of Zoey Carter resigning as expected, she’s staying as the head of her department at Phoenix Entertainment. People are speculating if higher-ups at Phoenix Entertainment are backing Zoey.”
Bianca resigned?
Dave’s expression turned serious. He paused his meeting, grabbed his phone, and went outside to call Bianca.
She answered quickly, but her voice was cold. “What’s wrong?”
“Bianca, did you really resign? Why didn’t you tell me?” Dave asked urgently.
Bianca’s reply was chilly. “We’re not exactly on speaking terms, remember? I didn’t think you needed to know about my decisions.”
“What’s wrong? Didn’t you always want to work at Phoenix Entertainment? Why leave so suddenly?” Dave wasn’t looking for an argument; he just wanted to understand what had changed.
Something must have triggered her sudden resignation.
As the head of Phoenix Alliance Group and a major shareholder in Phoenix Entertainment, Dave felt confident he could resolve whatever issue had arisen.
Bianca calmly explained, “There’s corruption at Phoenix Entertainment. The director and a senior executive are working together, taking bribes. I’ve had enough, so I’m leaving.”
Typically, Justin managed Phoenix Entertainment, and Dave, busy with other ventures, didn’t pay much attention to it.
But with Bianca there, he had recently started to take more interest.
When Dave heard Bianca’s words, he furrowed his brow in confusion.
Corruption? Collusion? Bribery? These were serious issues at Phoenix Entertainment that he hadn’t known about before.
“I’ll handle it on my own. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up,” Bianca stated before ending the call abruptly.
Clutching his phone, Dave walked to a large window and immediately dialed Justin’s number.
Justin had just returned from a trip abroad and had just turned off airplane mode on his phone when it started ringing-it was Dave calling.
A shiver went down Justin’s spine. Dave’s calls usually spelled trouble.
Dave’s voice was furious when Justin answered. “If you can’t handle being the general manager of Phoenix Entertainment, you’re fired!”
What?! Justin was stunned. Sweat started forming on his forehead. He had no idea what was happening, and Dave rarely issued such ultimatums unless the situation was dire.
“What’s going on, Dave?” Justin asked, trying to grasp the situation.
“You have one day to deal with your director Zoey and whoever’s backing her. If you fail, I’ll send you overseas for good!”
Justin found himself abruptly disconnected, unable to ask further questions. He quickly dialed his assistant.
“What has Zoey been doing while I was away? What’s happening with the company?”
Bianca returned to her office to pack her things, feeling a mix of achievement and worry that her actions might be forgotten. Confronting the senior executives at Phoenix Entertainment seemed daunting.
But compromise wasn’t in her nature. Despite feeling small, she was determined to make a difference.
