Hmm.
What reason?
Chloe frowned and said, "I don't like her. How about that for a reason?"
One of the directors almost got angry with what Chloe said just now.
'You want to fire her just because you don't like her? So you will dismiss us, too, when you fall into a
bad mood?'
The rest of the board of directors thought Chloe was green and unsophisticated.
Was she going to treat the company like her own kingdom and fire anyone who displeases her?
Although she was the CEO of the company now and technically owned the company, her attitude was
still annoying.
The directors decided to calm down and just ignore Chloe's remark.
"We suggest you think this matter over, twice. It's not something we will ever agree to."
"All right."
'I see. Do you think going against me will really work?
I will fire her.
How about that?
There's nothing you can do to stop me, ' Chloe muttered to herself.
The next moment, Chloe swept her gaze over the other directors and asked, "What about the rest of
you? Any ideas?"
The silent directors started to whisper among themselves.
Some even fell into a row.
With no intention of stopping them, Chloe just stood by and watched them bicker in low voices.
She glanced at Sarah whose legs she found shaking.
Chloe turned to look at her. She was just staring ahead as if she did not know what she was looking at.
Chloe frowned contemptuously. 'What the hell is wrong with her? Is this some kind of joke?
Now she's frightened? That's not good. I haven't even fired her yet, ' Chloe thought to herself.
Looking at the directors who were now fully yelling at one another, Chloe yelled, "Shut up!
Since you can't give me a straight answer, then let's just decide by voting. In that way, it's simpler and
quicker. Those who agree to let Sarah stay, keep your hands down."
At first, the directors thought that those who agreed to let Sarah stay should raise their hands. Without
any doubt, all of them raised their hands in unison. But later, some realized their mistake and put down
their hands.
"Derrick, could you please help me count?"
"Yes, with pleasure," Derrick replied.
He counted the number. Ten people agreed to let Sarah stay, and eight people disagreed.
Derrick reported to Chloe.
Chloe just glanced at Sarah. She did not expect that there would be so many people in the company
who did not want to see her leave.
Maybe it was her qualification that earned her this kind of respect. After all, Sarah and her talent were
the reason behind the company's acquired fortune.
But who was to stop Chloe from cutting that respect short?
Looking at the senior directors, Chloe declared, "Since you all have made a stand, then Derrick and I
would like to do the same. We want her out of here. That ties up the votes. What should we do now?"
Chloe frowned as she spoke. She did not get enough sleep the previous night.
At the same time, Derrick, who was sitting beside Chloe, could not help furrowing his eyebrows. Chloe
had voted on his behalf before he could express his view.
Noticing that Derrick was looking at her, Chloe turned to look at him. Her eyes were full of righteous
hubris. Her face seemed to read, "Your vote is mine to make. I have voted correctly for you. Remember
to thank me."
Derrick's face twitched a little, then he looked away.
At the same time, Sarah finally came to her senses. Looking at the people who agreed to let her stay,
she felt a little relieved. She had not expected that there were so many people in the company who
wanted to see her stay. Now, although they had reached an impasse, she thought that Chloe still had
no right or grounds to fire her.
What she did not know was that Chloe would stop at nothing to see her out the door.
Chloe just wanted to see how the directors would vote. Sarah's fate was still a matter for her to decide.
So even if the senior directors all agreed to let Sarah stay, she would still fire her regardless of their
opinion. After all, the only reason she came to this company was to fire Sarah.
Those who did not want to see Sarah go breathed a sigh of relief. They thought that Chloe was just
giving them an excuse. "Then let's just put this off for a while. We haven't gotten the answer now. Let's
talk about it later," they suggested.
Chloe smiled and thought, 'That's a good idea. If I didn't see that the audience was talking about how to
ask my sister to leave just now, I would think that they had decided it themselves.
You think I will show her mercy since half of us want her to stay in the company?'
Seeing Chloe smile, the senior directors thought that they had gained the upper hand. But they did not
expect that Chloe would not play according to common sense.
Looking at the group of high-level directors, Chloe said without thinking, "In that case, she's fired."
It was not a tone that indicated the matter was open for discussion. It was to tell everyone that she had
made up her mind regardless of what they thought.
"Why do you insist on firing her?"
"That's right. You can fire anyone else. We won't stop you.
Let's go and ask everyone to come in here. You can fire anyone you dislike, okay? Just please let
Sarah stay in the company."
When Chloe declared Sarah's immediate termination, two of the directors pleaded.
The directors still remembered why Chloe wanted to fire Sarah. They thought she just disliked her, so
they suggested calling all the other employees into the room.
They wanted Chloe to dismiss another one in order to keep Sarah.
Seeing their naive thinking, Chloe could not help laughing. Dislike was never her real reason for
wanting to destroy Sarah's career in the company.
Chloe could not stop laughing. She really did not know how these senior directors managed to get to
their positions.
Not really knowing why, she just felt a little tinge of inexplicable joy.
Looking at the senior director who had just spoken, Chloe said, "There's no need to look for other
employees. I dislike you, so how about I fire you instead?"
