Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 171

The entire lobby fell silent. Shania's smile froze on her face. Before she could speak, Serena had already turned to Alicia.

"Come with me to HR and get the records of all employees in the company. Then, go to the finance department and lock down all financial records.

"In half an hour, my assistant, Natalie, will bring in a team to audit the accounts and start the layoffs."

"Got it." Alicia nodded, grabbed a visitor pass from the front desk, and followed Serena upstairs.

Despite being a newcomer to the workforce, she executed her tasks swiftly and decisively.

Before the HR and finance departments even realized what was happening, they were already restricted from moving in and out freely, waiting for the handover process.

Half an hour later, Natalie arrived with an external HR and finance team to take full inventory of the company.

During this time, Shania repeatedly tried to approach Serena for a discussion. But Serena avoided her every time.

Instead, she had several senior executives' desks and office belongings sealed off. Then, alongside Natalie and Alicia, she went through every document, handing them over to a trusted external audit team for thorough investigation.

For two whole days, Amber Group underwent a complete purge.

When Shania finally saw her cousin's daughter again—the office was already packed with disgruntled employees crowding at the door, shouting in protest.

"You want us to leave? Fine! But compensate us!"

"We've been working here for years! You think you can just fire us without paying? It's not that simple!"

"We'll file for labor arbitration!"

Serena sat calmly at her desk, her gaze steady as she faced the angry crowd.

"Alicia, record the names of all employees eligible for compensation and process their severance packages according to company policy."

No one expected her to agree so readily.

The crowd went silent for a moment before erupting again—some still dissatisfied, some accepting the payout, stirring up another round of noise.

After some back-and-forth, most people eventually accepted a fair severance payment.

The corporate overhaul of Amber Group was a success. But Shania was anything but happy.
