The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 493

With Steven and Olivia hauled away, the CEO's office went completely still. No one spoke for a few seconds.

Jackson finally stepped forward, his tone respectful. “Charlotte, your mother put up the money to start this company. Are you really going to declare bankruptcy?”

The company was in her hands now. If she wanted, she could keep it running.

Charlotte adjusted her baseball cap, her eyes flashing with irritation. “Anything they’ve touched just makes my skin crawl.” Her voice was calm but icy. “The bankruptcy goes ahead. As for the employees, anyone who wants to transfer to one of N Organization’s companies, make it happen. If they don’t want to, give them a generous payout.”

Everyone knew N Organization’s subsidiaries were top-tier, Fortune 500 material. Only a fool would turn down a spot.

Jackson nodded, impressed that she’d thought of everything. “Understood. Where to now, Charlotte?”

He wondered if the next step was to go after the people behind the online smear campaign.

“Home,” Charlotte said with a tired yawn, her lashes drooping. “Let Melissa stir things up all she wants. Olivia’s probably fueling the gossip online too. For now, just ignore them.”

Jesse would be landing in Cabinda tomorrow. She’d deal with all of it then.

A straight-A student from Vanguard High School. A spoiled socialite. By tomorrow, both would be out of Cabinda, no question.

…

Imperial Heights.
