The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 196 Comparing People Is a Losing Game

"We gotta stop calling her Ms. Langley from now on. Natalie already said she's left Langley Group. She doesn't even go by Langley anymore—her last name is Walker now," someone in the crowd corrected.

"Honestly, I always felt like Ms. Walker didn't belong to the Langleys—not because she was a fake heiress or anything, but because she's on a whole different level. Her beauty alone sets her apart."

"Exactly! Ms. Walker is stunning, and even though she wasn't around much, it was always with good news whenever she showed up at the office."

"As for Ms. Selena? Well... let's just say..."

The sound of three mocking clicks of the tongue echoed, loaded with all the disdain Selena could imagine. That was it for Selena. She jumped down from the railing and stormed toward the crowd, rage written all over her face. "Shut up! All of you, shut your mouths!"

"Oh my, look at that! Ms. Selena, the great heiress of Langley Group, can't even let people talk now!"

"She's not just bossy-she's a full-on bully! Word is, she's had quite the shady past, being passed around and doing whatever jobs she could. This is just another one of her tricks!"

The crowd's chatter grew louder, with voices blending and overlapping. Selena couldn't even pinpoint who was talking.

"Which department are you all from? Hand over your badges!" Selena screamed. "I'll fire every single one of you!"

"Go ahead, fire us! We'll just get Mr. Watson to get us a sweet severance deal!"

"Exactly! With Ms. Walker and Mr. Watson gone, does anyone even see a future for Langley Group anymore?"
