I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 346

Easton Group was an absolute empire—everyone killed for a piece of the pie.

Let alone being a Vice President! With that title, Julian Winters would be untouchable across the entire corporate world.

Zoe's eyes darkened with disdain.

Sienna was completely treating Easton like the Winters family's personal playground.

But Easton's internal mess was none of her concern. This press conference, however, was paramount, and she was not letting Julian slide.

"That's right, Zoe. You bust your ass for Garrett just to scrape by as a director. When you were just a secretary at Easton, you were nothing special either. Now I'm the Vice President of Easton, meaning I actually call the shots. Why don't you come back to the company and be my secretary? I promise I won't work you this hard."

Sienna shot Julian a sharp look. Catching the warning, he realized he had overstepped and quickly muttered, "I was just joking."

Sienna's gaze drifted lazily over to Zoe, her tone dripping with condescension.

"Director Lynd, you heard him. He holds a crucial executive role at Easton. He's hardly an outsider. It's perfectly justified for him to be here."

"He had absolutely no involvement in this project," Zoe fired back. "As far as this press conference is concerned, he is a complete outsider. This involves classified government intel. Everyone here signed a strict non-disclosure agreement before entering. Since you knowingly allowed an unauthorized individual into a secure zone, I will be reporting this to Mr. Kendall. Zenith will no longer consider any future collaborations with Easton. And him?" Zoe pointed a lethal finger at Julian. "He's going to federal court."

There wasn't a shred of mercy in her eyes.

Julian stood completely paralyzed, while Sienna simply scoffed.

"Do you honestly think you have the power to do that? Sending my cousin to federal court? Are you so addicted to lawsuits that it's made you delusional, Zoe? I still haven't settled the score with you over what you did last time."

Zoe didn't blink. "You are complicit for smuggling him in. Neither of you is walking away from this."

With that, she turned on her heel and strode away.

Bored and looking for some fresh air, Ethan happened to spot the confrontation between Sienna and Zoe.

Fearing Sienna was being bullied, he hurried over.
