Jessie immediately added, "I agree with Mr. Markee and support Ms. Benett's decisions. The company will evaluate everyone, and those with outstanding skills can stay. After all, we want the company to improve. Only then can we make a profit. Otherwise, who would be willing to pay for a losing deal?"
James and Jessie had senior positions in the company. More people agreed with them after what they said.
Paul was immediately displeased when he saw that more people were likely to defect. "I didn't say I disagreed with her decision. It's alright for those with excellent skills to stay. Still, by doing so, she's basically disposing of people once she's done using them. Can't you see how ungrateful this is?"
"It's one thing for the company to prioritize profit, but everyone here has stayed with the company through various struggles. Don't tell me we should get rid of them as well?"
"Did I say I want to get rid of everyone? Everyone is experienced, and I believe you understand my intentions. I'm not picking on anyone. I just want the company to grow and improve. Still, you distorted my intentions and tried inciting everyone to attack me. Why are you panicking? Is it because you've been disloyal to the company? Mr. Grayson, you should be the first to prove your innocence and accept the department's review against you."
Elisa hadn't wanted to be so direct initially. She had only mentioned it previously as a warning. After all, it was an opportunity to make amends.
But she never thought Paul would be so aggressive.
Since he was driven to desperate action, he couldn't blame her for being ruthless and direct.
Paul was immediately enraged. He pointed at Elisa and said coldly, "What do you mean by that, Elisa Benett? Did I do something wrong? Stop trying to push the blame onto me! Let me tell you that when your dad was still around, he would never dare say such things to me!"
"My dad respected you. Uncle Paul, I respect you too. But regardless, I'm the boss of the company. If I don't even have the right to instruct my employees, what kind of a boss does that make me?"
"I'm just asking for a review. Why are you in a panic? It's easy for others to feel suspicious of your stance and work style when you're acting like this, Uncle Paul."
Elisa looked down and smiled. Her voice was unbelievably sharp.
But to Paul, Elisa was doing it on purpose. She was deliberately picking on him and provoking him.
Paul couldn't take it. "Elisa Benett, get to the point. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking about? I'm telling you! Stop trying to slander me!"
The next moment, Paul hit the table and rose.
His round eyes widened in rage as he stared fiercely at Elisa.
It was as though he was shooting Elisa a warning gaze.
Elisa suddenly felt amused.
