Jennifer had no comeback.

Right then, the team leads finally arrived.

The lounge area was small. Aside from Jennifer, no one dared sit beside Dawn. As a result, several grown men were left standing in the cramped room, making the atmosphere unbearably awkward.

Dawn acted as if she noticed nothing and said calmly, “Give me your reports. The work from the past few days.”

She already had a rough idea. She just wanted to see what excuses they planned to use.

All the previous projects had been put on hold.

Jennifer had shifted manpower and resources to a new project.

After listening to their vague explanations, Dawn uncrossed her legs and leaned back slightly, and said coolly, “So, Ms. Nowak, you didn’t come here to help. You came to give me a headache.”

No one dared speak. The silence was suffocating.

Quite a few of the people present were relatively new to the company. More or less, they’d heard about Dawn’s background.

She was Mr. West’s only daughter, the future heir of Stonewarden Group.

Even if they wanted to toughen her up, no one would actually strip her authority.

But Jennifer was acting on direct orders from Mr. West, and no one dared question her decisions either.

When people at the top fight, those at the bottom suffer.

They did whatever the people above told them to do. Who were they to speak up?

Dawn had no intention of making things hard for anyone. Her gaze swept over everyone before finally settling on Jennifer beside

her.

“Why so quiet?” She was smiling, but the smile never reached her eyes. “Ms. Nowak, I thought you overhauled the company from top to bottom because you planned to take over the company altogether. Isn’t that the idea?”

That was an accusation Jennifer couldn’t bear.

Her expression shifted slightly, though she forced a smile.

“Ms. West, what are you talking about? I only made those personnel changes for the good of the company. If you don’t like them… At worst, we can report to Mr. West and change them back. Why get so upset?”

Sure. Report to Mr. West.

If nothing else, Jennifer has mastered the art of using authority to pressure people.

Dawn curled her lips and raised a hand.

Hazel understood right away and said, “Everyone else, you can go.”

It was basically a pardon. In less than two seconds, the lounge was completely empty, leaving only Dawn and Jennifer behind.

Jennifer’s cheek twitched slightly. “Ms. West, what’s this supposed to mean?”

“Didn’t you ask me to call Mr. West?” Dawn tapped lightly on her phone, unhurried, pulling up Vincent’s number and showing it to

her.

“But calling him in front of everyone might make you lose face. I don’t want to be the bad guy.”

The moment her finger pressed down, Jennifer’s pupils widened.

She never imagined Dawn would actually dare to call.

Vincent’s goal was to teach Dawn a lesson. This was basically a declaration of war.

One second. Two seconds.

Waiting for the call to connect felt agonizingly long.

Just as Jennifer was about to let out a breath of relief, Vincent’s warm voice came through the phone. “Dawn, do you need something from me?”

“Yeah.” Dawn glanced at the flustered woman beside her and said, “Ms. Nowak walked into my company and changed 80% of the personnel. Is it under your orders?”

Her tone was businesslike, but the anger was obvious.

Vincent chuckled softly.

“I did tell her to act freely, I didn’t expect that many changes, though. Looks like your people aren’t very capable.”

“My people aren’t capable?”

Dawn’s voice turned even colder. “That’s your takeaway?”

Whether they’re good or not isn’t for someone else to decide.

Jennifer sat beside her, hands clenched together. She wanted to speak but couldn’t, and didn’t even know where to begin. She was completely at a loss.

“Dawn, didn’t you say you wanted to focus on spending time with your brother?” Vincent dropped his smile and said heavily, “This is for your own good. Since Jennifer is already handling the company, you should just stay with him and take a break.”

That line again.

Dawn took a breath and shot Jennifer a cold glance.

“That’s not the point either. I do want to spend more time with Micah, but only if the person you sent can help, not make decisions. Otherwise, how am I supposed to face my team?”

The contracts had just been signed. She had to be responsible for everyone.

Vincent was a businessman who never acted without profit. Situations like this were nothing new to him. Once they got to the real- issue, his tone actually relaxed.

“Explain what? You didn’t do anything wrong. Dawn, don’t be greedy. If you want everything, you might end up with nothing.”

Dawn pressed her lips together, silent.

Vincent was warning her.

After a long moment, she said coldly, “Then why don’t I just hand my position over to Jennifer?”

There was silence on the line. After a while, Vincent let out a low laugh. “Are you threatening me?”
