Chapter 546 The Battlefield of Deborah and Avery

At the Hawthorne Group meeting, Deborah sat confidently next to Owen, an evidence

of her capacity. Since her return, she never saw Jasmine as a threat; her real

competition was Avery.

When Avery walked in with documents, she saw Deborah in her old seat. That spot had always been Avery's before Deborah came back.

The execs knew Avery was capable, way more than Owen's disappointing son. But they were surprised to see someone even more talented in the family.

Deborah hadn't been back long but had already set up a new department and landed projects the company had been chasing for years. She quickly made a name for herself.

Owen wanted to bring Deborah back into the family and change her last name to Hawthorne. This was clearly unfair to Avery.

"Mr. Hawthorne," Laura, Avery's assistant, whispered nervously. "You're sitting on the left today, over there."

She didn't expect Deborah to be so bold, directly challenging Avery.

Avery sneered, walked over to Deborah, and placed the documents on the table. "Young people should know their place. Those who can't make it to the top often use dirty tricks. Not every seat is yours to take."

Deborah's face darkened with anger. "Dad, with all the execs here, is my sister trying to embarrass us?"

"Have some shame. We're not family," Avery sneered. "You've shamelessly provoked me, and you think the execs here can't see through it?"

Avery made it clear she wouldn't tolerate Deborah. To her, Deborah was nothing.

"Avery, enough. What kind of place do you think this is? If you two want to argue, do it at home. This is the company," Owen said sternly, signaling Avery to be sensible.

"Sisters? What sisters? I only remember my mom giving me a brainless brother, not a sister. Where did this sister come from?" Avery signaled to her assistant, Kayla. "Escort Director Morris to her proper seat."
