Wed to the Billionaire Brother of My Spouse by Doris

Chapter 651 Jasmine hit Deborah

Deborah landed a huge project, making her a big deal at the Hawthorne Group.

She was the eldest daughter of the Hawthorne family who had been away for a while, and now it seemed like Deborah's side was gaining more supporters than Avery's.

"The chairman's waiting for you to start the meeting. Word is, he wants to give your position to Deborah." Kayla rushed over to Avery as soon as she walked into the company, looking pretty upset.

Avery smirked. "He's gunning for me; it's just a matter of time."

"Sis, what a coincidence." Deborah strolled in, all smiles and energy, greeting Avery. Kayla, standing next to Avery, shot her a glare. "You definitely have bad intentions." Deborah was used to Kayla's jabs; to her, they were just minor annoyances.

"I heard Dad wants me to take over the company. I turned him down. If I did, what would you do?" Deborah asked with a sweet smile, looking all innocent.

Avery ignored her and headed straight for the elevator.

Kayla blocked Deborah from getting in, using one hand to stop her and the other to quickly close the door.

Deborah frowned. "What's your problem?"

"At our company, pets aren't allowed in the fancy elevator. And guess what? You're the only one who doesn't fit the 'human' bill around here." Kayla shot back and quickly shut the elevator door.

Deborah was fuming, clenching her fists.

She thought, 'Fine. Kayla's only this cocky because of Avery. Let's see how she acts when Avery's authority is stripped in the meeting!'

In the meeting room, Owen looked serious, gripping his cane with both hands. "Is everyone here?"

"Dad, the Dream Isle project held me up a bit. Sorry I'm late," Deborah walked in, smiling and making sure everyone in the room heard her.

"Avery, I can't stand her fake act." Kayla was fuming.

Avery gave her a helpless smile and a warning look. "No matter what happens, keep quiet."

She was worried she couldn't protect her otherwise.

"But..." Kayla's eyes were red with worry. These people were too much.

Avery, the legitimate daughter who had greatly contributed to the Hawthorne Group, faced the threat of losing her authority simply because Deborah had used underhanded tactics to secure those projects. It was unjust.
