The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 305

"What? Ted has worked for a long time in the company and was one of the main leaders of the smart project." one said.

"Once this project kicks off, he's bound to become a big star in the company, potentially getting a promotion. Why would the company let him go..." he asked.
