Chapter - 1465

Dawn exclaimed excitedly, “I agree with Zeke! We should give Emily a chance and let her stay. It’d be too easy on her if we… Ah, no, err… I mean, I’m worried she’d die of starvation if she leaves Linton Group.”

Emily’s eyes shone with fear.

Dawn had accidentally let it slip that some things would be ‘too easy on her …

That made Emily realize why Zeke wanted her to stay.

There was no question about it.

Zeke wants me to stay so that he can torture me every day!

How would a woman like her be a match to a group of friends like them?

The thought of facing Dawn every day was painful enough for Emily.

Emily stopped badgering anyone and quickly said, “1-1 better not disturb you guys anymore. Bye, Lacey.”

Emily quickly fled the scene.

Dawn was extremely upset about that, and she quickly shouted, “Oh, c’mon! Don’t leave! We’ve already said we’ll let you stay, so why are you leaving? You’re so blind that you don’t even see how kind we’re being!”

Emily cussed internally. Like I would believe in any word you say!

Dawn pouted, seeming a little disappointed.

She had already thought about how she would torture Emily every day…

Dawn’s gaze soon shifted to Mary, the leader of Linton Group’s traitors.

At that moment, everyone who had betrayed Linton Group looked helpless.

Linton Group was on the verge of bankrupting, and the building was about to shut down.

That was why they had betrayed Linton Group and turned to Emily.

Who would’ve thought that it’d only take a few days for Linton Group to get back up on its feet and acquire Empire Group?

At that moment, their ex-boss had turned to their current boss once more, and there was nothing more awkward about that situation.

Dawn grinned. “Guys, aren’t you going to congratulate us for making a comeback?”

The traitors felt guilty; they had their heads down without saying a word.

Dawn continued, “Should we keep you around to torture you or just kick you out immediately?”

The traitors were a bunch of nerves.

One employee carefully claimed, “Director Castaneda, w-we were conned by a vile person. That’s why we joined Emperor Group. Please give us a chance to redeem ourselves…”

Dawn asked, “A vile person? Who’s that?”

The traitors all turned to Mary.

Mary cussed them internally.

When she had been Emily’s assistant, every single one of them tried to get on her good side, but they all turned around as soon as she lost her power.

They’re more vile than I am.

Dawn plastered on a skin-deep grin as she turned to Mary. “Mary, do you have anything to say for yourself?”

Mary refuted, “Director Castaneda, the best option right now is to let bygones be bygones. Let’s start over. We will remain the employees of the company, and you will remain our boss. I believe that to be beneficial to everyone.”

Dawn chuckled. “That’s beneficial to you. What do we get out of it?”

Mary continued, “You should know that I’m responsible for some of the biggest sales of Linton Group and that I’m currently working on several projects. If I leave, the companies Linton Group are working with will probably back out of the contract. That would severely hurt Linton Group. It’s not worth it, Director Castaneda. Please think it through.”

Dawn’s grin faltered because Mary was right.

Still, Dawn couldn’t stand letting that traitor stay with the company.

Zeke was calm as he asked, “Lacey, is that true?”

Lacey nodded. “Yes.”

“Oh, then I guess I should go talk to the managers of those companies and ask if they’d side with Mary or with Linton Group. Call them over, Lacey,” Zeke instructed.

Lacey had just gotten her phone out of her pocket when she heard a voice sound from behind her.

“There’s no need to call us. We’re all already here.”
