Mommy，We Got a Husband by Doris

Chapter 386 Her Sense of Guilt Grew Stronger.

All the execs were ripping into Stellan, each one more fired up than the last. Cormac couldn't hold back anymore and said, "Isn't it kinda messed up to dump all the blame on Ms. Storm now? She came up with the idea for the jewelry company, and you were all for it. And the construction company bid? That wasn't just her call; it was a group decision. So why's it all on her now?"

"Mr. Nash, that's not exactly true," one exec piped up. "Ms. Storm was super pushy about starting the jewelry company, and you backed her up big time. No matter what, she's the acting director and has the final say. When she pushed, we had to go along."

"Yeah, Mr. Nash," another exec jumped in. "When Ms. Storm was going head-to-head with Mrs. Knight for the acting director spot, she was all over us, lobbying hard. Now we gotta apologize to Mr. Knight. Back then, we thought Mrs. Knight was past her prime, and Ms. Storm had all this energy. We trusted her, but turns out she's way out of her depth."

Another exec nodded. "Yeah, Mr. Knight, looking back, we really screwed up. If we knew then what we know now, we'd have let Mrs. Knight take the reins again. If she had, none of this mess would've happened." Hearing this, Cormac was fuming. These guys were all just playing the blame game after the fact.

The execs started pleading, "Mr. Knight, please come back. Ms. Storm just can't handle it."

"Yeah, Mr. Knight..."

"Enough!" Alaric cut them off, furious. "I gave her the authority to act. If you question her, you're questioning me!"

The execs quickly backpedaled, "Mr. Knight, we wouldn't dare."

"Then zip it!" Alaric snapped. "We'll compensate and apologize. The damage is done, so stop with the pointless chatter. Meeting adjourned!"
