“If we talk about academic qualification, everyone here in this room graduated from top universities. These two directors sitting in front of you are top students from Konig University. As for the experience, you don’t have presentable work up to this point. I saw your Christmas special edition jewelry. There’s a reason the sales for that were mediocre.”

Everything Elspeth said was like a sword stabbing into Alaina’s heart, making the confidence that was left in her shatter instantly. Alaina suddenly felt as though she was just a clown, showing off her immature skills in front of experts and embarrassing herself.

“Miss Lynwood, we’re all colleagues. How can you say that to me?” With her innocent look, all the male colleagues around her relent the moment she cried.

Since reasoning couldn’t work, Alaina wanted to play the victim but was exposed mercilessly by Elspeth. “You start crying whenever you can’t win an argument. Miss Sullivan, is that all you learned in Winthrop Group?”

At that moment, Alaina’s tears were hanging from the corners of her eyes. It didn’t seem right to let them fall or wipe them off, so they were left hanging awkwardly there.

“Enough. There’s no need to argue anymore. I’m the one who decided on this. Does anyone else here have any second opinion?” After looking at the conflict between Alaina and Elspeth, Callum cleared his throat and looked at Elspeth with a resigned and affectionate gaze. Although he knew at Elspeth wouldn’t put herself at a disadvantage, the things she said would surely upset Alaina

for quite some time.

Just then, Edmund sluggishly raised his hands. “I do.”

Elspeth thought that he was going to stir up trouble again, but his following sentence shocked everyone. “I want to take a few months off for a little distraction. I’ll pass the vice president position to Elspeth for the time being.”
