Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 760

"No," Elena replied coolly.

"What did you just say? You failed?"

"Exactly. Mr. Lawson is nothing but an ignorant letch. He doesn't know the first thing about actual design. Showing him those drafts was a complete waste of time."

"So you just turned around and walked out?"

"What did you expect me to do? Stay and wait for him to assault me?"

Elaine gritted her teeth.

Hah! Just as she hoped, the stupid girl had offended Lawson!

Suddenly, Elaine's desk phone began to ring.

She picked it up, and within seconds, her smug expression morphed into sheer panic.

Slamming the receiver down, she pointed a trembling finger at Elena. "Not only did you fail to secure the contract, but you actually beat Mr. Lawson half to death! He's currently lying in a hospital bed! Do you have any idea what you've done, Elena?! You violently assaulted a VIP client!"

"He tried to force himself on me. Naturally, I beat the hell out of him. If it were you in that room, would you have just spread your legs and taken it?"

"You... you are completely out of your mind! You just destroyed a massive corporate partnership! Couldn't you have shown a little tact and compromised?"

"I did. He claimed the drafts were bad, so I sketched multiple new designs for him on the spot. He still wasn't satisfied. The man is completely blind to design—no matter what I drew, he would have rejected it because his only goal was to back me into a corner. Why should I show a predator any respect?"

With that, Elena casually tossed the folder onto Elaine's desk.

Elaine didn't even bother looking at it. "Fine. Keep acting like you're above it all! You have no idea how much trouble you're in. I'm going straight to the Director right now to have you terminated!"

Fuming, Elaine stormed off toward Sienna Hayes's office.

Nicole cast a sympathetic glance at Elena. She knew exactly what Elaine was doing.

If Elena hadn't shown up today, Nicole would have been the one trapped in that hotel room.

She wouldn't have known how to defend herself.

Sienna, however, wasn't about to blindly trust Elaine's biased hysterics. She knew exactly who Elena was—the girl was practically untouchable in this company.

So, as Elaine ranted and raved, Sienna completely ignored her, calmly reviewing the financial documents on her desk.

"Director, did you hear a word I just said? Elena maliciously sabotaged this collaboration! The client is absolutely furious! Mr. Lawson is currently hospitalized! Not only are we going to lose the contract, but they're threatening to sue us for exorbitant medical damages!"

Sienna finally looked up, her expression completely neutral. "Fine. Have Elena come in. I'll ask her exactly what happened."

Sienna picked up her phone and requested Elena to report to her office.

Elaine crossed her arms, fuming with indignation. Why wasn't Sienna taking her word for it?

Why did she have to bring that arrogant girl in to verify the story?

A moment later, a polite knock sounded, and Elena walked into the room.

"Director, you wanted to see me."
