Sign the Papers Mr. Langford novel Chapter 484

He only turned to look at Willow after he finished speaking.

"Pending the conclusion of the investigation, you are forbidden from accessing the family companionship backend, and you are forbidden from representing Langford Medical regarding this project externally."

Willow's face went completely pale.

Everyone in the conference room lowered their heads.

She forced herself to speak, "I accept the investigation. But I handled a lot of the initial communication for this project. If you cut me off entirely, it will stall the rectification process."

Lawrence's voice was frigid. "The rectification doesn't need you."

As those words dropped, the facade in Willow's eyes finally began to shatter.

*The rectification doesn't need you.*

She had exhausted every scheme to force her name onto this project, to steal credit from the team, and to turn every ounce of public attention into a stepping stone for her ascent.

And now, Lawrence was telling her in front of everyone that the project didn't need her.

After the meeting ended, Willow didn't leave right away.

She stood at the end of the hallway, her fingers crushing her phone.

A message from Gavin lit up the screen.

*Evelyn submitted the accounts. You better think about what you have left to trade for your position.*

Staring at the words, the look in Willow's eyes slowly turned to ice.

*Position.*

Everyone was trying to drag her down from her position.

Lawrence revoked her access.

Jude Sinclair refused to help her anymore.

And Gavin merely treated her as a disposable pawn.

But she couldn't step back.

If she retreated, she would go right back to being the little girl standing on the landing of the Whitaker estate, watching Wren have a mother, a name, and a legitimate identity.

She absolutely refused to go back.

At dusk, when Wren got home, Leo was already waiting for her at the small table.

Beside him lay the small star sticker.

"Mom," he tilted his head up. "Can I put it up today?"

Wren knelt down.

"You can."

"Is it a really big star?"
