Chapter 1597: A fight for justice

"You are... fired," Cassandra stressed each syllable through the telephone. "I don't want to see you here again."

"Miss Cassa-"

Without waiting for her lawyer's response, she slammed the phone down. Her face was still streaked with lingering tears, her eyes swollen from crying. Still, she wanted to keep a brave front, even as her world continued to crumble with every passing second.

This fight wasn't just Cassandra's. It was Kiara's, too.
