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."
