Chapter 426 How About I Teach You

Lenora's unease did not subside.

As Gabriel rose to leave the conference room, Lenora turned to the other two photographers. "You two head back first. I need to discuss something with Gabriel."

Without waiting for a response, she quickly stepped forward to catch up with him.

Gabriel glanced sideways at her but continued walking. "Yes, Fay? Is something wrong?"

Lenora smiled warmly. "I hope you don't mind me asking, but do you know why Ms. Isla came to see the director earlier?"

Gabriel gave her a meaningful look. "Yes, I'm aware. The director told me. Apparently, Ms. Isla threatened him on behalf of the Wilson family, demanding he replace the photographer."

Lenora's face turned pale. "What was the director's response?"

"What else could he say?" Gabriel replied casually. "He dismissed her demands outright. He said the choice of photographer is our internal matter and has nothing to do with her. Even the Wilson family can't interfere, unless her father personally intervenes." Hearing this, Lenora breathed a deep sigh of relief. "That's fantastic. Thank you."

She felt immensely fortunate to have chosen commercial photography and a company strong enough to withstand Isla's threats.

Had it been a smaller photography studio, they likely wouldn't have survived such pressure.

At last, she could feel the weight lifting from her shoulders.

Meanwhile, Isla had not expected the director to reject her so bluntly.

Even invoking her father, Bjorn, had failed to sway him. His response had been cutting and firm.

In the past, Isla had used her family's influence to remove people she disliked, forcing them out of Fairlake, but this time, her tactics had backfired.

Undeterred, Isla resorted to more underhanded measures.

She bribed several consumers to file false accusations, claiming the cosmetic company's products contained toxic substances. She also hired hooligans to stage disturbances at the company's mall outlets.

However, the cosmetic company was well-versed in handling such crises after years of facing competition.
