Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1382: Get angry at Penny, but only for five minutes.

When Nina sat back in her cubicle, she stared blankly at the monitor. Even after her boss's reassurance, only now did she feel the weight of what had been said

sink in.

Someone from higher up wanted to fire her?

As far as Nina was concerned, she hadn't done anything remarkable enough to reach the attention of the higher-ups. Nor had she done anything troublesome that would affect them. Even though her boss usually noticed her work, Nina didn't think she had ever spoken about it to the higher-ups.

Even if she had, Nina doubted it would have made any difference. After all, this department was run solely by her boss. All decisions regarding it fell on her, and if Nina's memory served her right, even the higher-ups couldn't touch her boss because she had proven to be an asset to the company.

'Why would they ask for my expulsion...' her thoughts trailed off.

With the Davis family disapproving of her and Finn's marriage, it wouldn't be impossible that they were behind this. The Davis family was influential enough to have her removed from the company, even though they had no direct connection to it. All they needed was a single phone call, and someone like Nina would be gone.

She had seen firsthand what power, influence, and money could do thanks to Zoren Pierson.

That particular girls' night out, when Lily's ex had tried to abduct her, had been proof of it. The club had shut down by sunrise. No one said it outright, but everyone knew it was Zoren's doing. He had been livid that Penny had gotten hurt there and that no one had stepped in to help her. Zoren and the Davis family might have been different in many ways, but they had one thing in common:

Wide connections.

"..." Nina remained quiet for another minute before determination flared in her eyes. 'I'm not letting them do this.'

Holding on to her boss's promise, Nina pushed away all unnecessary thoughts. Her boss was right. Even if this project was difficult-especially with someone like Cassandra involved-she wouldn't give them a reason to kick her out.

As long as her boss stood her ground, Nina would be safe.

This wasn't just about her career anymore. She also wanted to make sure her boss wouldn't regret fighting for her.

This would not be her downfall.
