Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 855

Smack!

Rachel slammed her palms on her desk, rising to her feet.

"Who do you think you are, questioning me? If you don't like it here, get the hell out! Pack your bags and leave! I am your superior. What I say goes. Besides, I made edits to your little proposal. It wouldn't have been approved without my input!"

Theresa was seething.

"Rachel, I know exactly what game you're playing. I promise you, this isn't over. You'd better start clearing out your desk, because you're the one who’s leaving!"

Without waiting for a response, Theresa turned sharply and delivered a fierce kick to the heavy oak door before storming out into the hallway.

"Who does she think she is, throwing a tantrum in my office?" Rachel muttered, her face flushed with fury.

Striding down the corridor, Theresa nearly collided with Charles.

"Get the hell out of my way!" she barked.

Charles stepped aside, staring after her. He figured Theresa had completely lost her mind.

But then again, he was losing his, too.

Drowning in debt, he was desperate for Lorna to return to the Ellington estate. He had tapped out every colleague willing to lend him cash.

His financial runway was gone.

Bypassing the sales department entirely, Theresa marched into the elevator and hit the button for the thirty-second floor—the executive suite.

She pushed open the heavy double doors to Victor's office.

"Dad!" she called out loudly.

She stopped short when she realized he wasn't alone.

"Theresa, what's with the rush?" Victor reprimanded gently.

Julian forced a tight smile. "What are you implying, Theresa? We’re only looking out for the company's best interests. There’s no need to rush into this."

"The only ones rushing are you two," Theresa fired back. "Or did you think I wouldn't notice the roadblocks you deliberately planted in my department? Four months of calculated sabotage is quite enough."

"And Andrew," she took a step closer, her gaze turning predatory, "let’s talk about Myantara. You were the one who hired those mercenaries to ambush me, weren't you? Don’t even bother denying it. I have concrete evidence, and I can produce it right now if you'd like to test me."

In the past, she might have lacked the nerve to confront them.

But after staring death in the face, fear was a foreign concept to her.

This was her empire. Anyone who stood against her would be crushed.

"Theresa, what are you talking about? What ambush in Myantara?" Victor asked, his brow furrowing in confusion.

"Dad, I'm done keeping secrets. When I was tricked and trafficked to Myantara, Andrew found out. Instead of helping, he contacted local mercenaries to have me killed. I was lucky to make it out alive. He thought he covered his tracks perfectly, but I secured the proof. I only stayed quiet to preserve the peace in this family. But since they want to keep stepping on me, I’m not holding back anymore."
