Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 246 Dream On If You Want to Join the Company

Elsa bit her lip and remained silent at Eric's words. But the tears in her eyes made it clear she felt utterly wronged.

Dad could not bear the tension and tried to smooth things over. "How about letting Elsa start as a junior employee? She can gain some experience at the ground level."

"No." My rejection was cold and absolute. "People without ability don't belong in the company."

I stood my ground without a shred of compromise.

Mom and Dad had always been soft-hearted. The moment Elsa played the victim, they'd fall for it.

And once she got her foot in the door, she'd use every trick in the book to climb the ranks, turning Brown Group into a complete mess. It was better to crush this idea now than to deal with the chaos later.

My firm stance stunned Mom and Dad. Sensing the shift, Elsa quickly seized the moment, putting on a pitiful act to win their sympathy.

"Jane, you can scold me all you want, but why are you being so harsh to Mom and Dad?" She pouted, her eyes glistening with grievance. "If you really don't want me in the company, then fine, I won't join. I'll listen to you. Just don't be so mean to Mom and Dad anymore, okay?"
