Chapter 465

"Isn't that a bit much?" Jerry couldn't help but speak up, "We've all been working our tails off from the get-go, not daring to ditch even half a day's work, and now you're just gonna switch us out like that? How are we supposed to trust you after this? How are we supposed to work together?"

"Yeah," Tomas chimed in, clearly troubled as he looked at Sophia, "We've all been through thick and thin together, Jerry's crew has built several projects for the company, and we've always worked well together. If there's an issue, we should just put our heads together and figure it out, right? Swapping out the team last minute not only messes with the schedule, but it's also a hit to the company's rep."

Augus, who was nearby, also couldn't hide his concern as he glanced at Sophia. "Yeah, changing teams on a whim seems pretty rash."

"How is it rash?" Sophia gave him a look before turning to Tomas and Jerry, "Isn't it Jerry who said that everyone's not willing to work anymore? I get it, everyone's got their hesitations, and we can't force them to keep going."

Jerry was caught off guard and was at a loss for words. His face changed, and pointing at Sophia, he blurted out, "Hang on, you're just the designer, what right do you have to swap out the construction crew?"

Cindy couldn't stand it any longer and snapped back, "Why not? She's the CEO's wife. If she really wanted to step in, do you think you'd still be here yapping away for so long? She would've given you the boot."

Sophia tugged at her, stopping her from going on.

Jerry was stunned on the spot, his eyes seeking Augus for answers.

Augus cleared his throat but said nothing.

Tomas was also shocked as he looked at Sophia; he had no clue about her connection with the Starlight Group.

Tomas and Jerry, "I'm just the project designer, and I indeed have no authority to demand a change of the construction team. Personally, I don't want to switch the team either. It's only natural that everyone has concerns right now, and the project can't be kept on hold indefinitely. We
