She remained silent, turned around, left the room, and closed the door behind her.
“Isabella, what’s wrong with Mr. Winston?” someone asked.
Jed was waiting outside. He glanced inside and said with ill intent, “Did Mr. Winston smash things again?”
Isabella stayed calm. Jed saw nothing on her face, and of course, she wouldn’t let herself lose ground.
Isabella stared at him. “If you’re curious, you can ask him yourself. But don’t blame me for not warning you. Mr. Winston is in a bad mood right now. I only got scolded a bit. For you, it might not be that simple.”
When Isabella first rose in rank, she remained polite with Jed on the surface and didn’t fully break ties. Only after her position became stable did she begin to show her edge.
Now the situation had reversed–Jed was the one who needed to please her.
That was exactly the case. After hearing her sharp, mocking words, Jed felt angry but didn’t dare to speak
They were all veterans of the workplace. Everyone understood what was going on, but no one said it out loud.
People who survive office battles are never harmless. Each side waits for the other to make a mistake, then seizes the chance to strike.
Both of them hid many thoughts behind their eyes. After a brief moment of stiffness, Jed gave in and ended the short clash.
Jed returned to his office with a dark expression.
During this time, he replayed everything from the past over and over again.
He finally found the reason. It was Ayla.
Back then, Jed had suggested to Troy that Ayla might need to be taught a lesson. Troy clearly told him not to touch her and said Jed had no right to think that way. After that, Troy grew distant from Jed.
Jed had followed Troy for many years. They had teamwork, trust, and shared achievements. At first, he couldn’t believe Troy would stop valuing him over a useless woman like Ayla.
Was it really just one sentence?
I could apologize. Why was Mr. Winston taking it so seriously?
Ayla was just an ordinary person. She should never have dared to upset Mr. Winston. Didn’t she know her place? Was it wrong for me to discipline her? And didn’t Mr. Winston always ignore Ayla and treat her coldly?
There was nothing wrong with his suggestion, yet reality slapped him hard in the face.
Jed had been stuck on the idea that Troy would never abandon him for Ayla. He didn’t know how to fix

things. As Isabella gained more power and became one of Troy’s most important executives, even handling private matters for him. Jed grew anxious.
Jed had handled private matters for Troy before too. Most of these matters were related to Skyla.

Troy treated Skyla well, but he rarely did things himself. He always ordered Jed to do them. Because of this. Jed interacted with Skyla often and came to understand her better. He felt Skyla suited Troy and had always disliked Ayla. He hoped Troy would kick Ayla out as soon as possible.
Jed always thought the private matters Isabella handled were also related to Skyla.
Relying on their past relationship, he asked Skyla about it, but she only knew who Isabella was. The two of them had never interacted at all.
So, there were private matters I didn’t know about, but Isabella could handle them?
Only then did Jed realize he might be getting replaced.
I just said one bad thing about Ayla, and Mr. Winston really threw me away completely?
Even though he couldn’t understand it, the facts were right in front of him. He had to admit that he had underestimated Ayla’s place in Troy’s heart.
Of course, Isabella must have seized every chance to please Troy. That made Troy trust her more and rely on her more.
Jed’s face grew darker. He needed to find a way to turn things around.
He wouldn’t allow Isabella to beat him.
After being driven away by Troy, Isabella felt very uneasy. But there was no way she could go back to him now. That would be asking for trouble.
Still, she had to find a way to calm Troy’s anger. She couldn’t do just nothing.
She immediately thought of Sun.
