Chapter 882 You’re Fired

“I’m fine, Mrs. Engel. Really,” replied Deirdre, smiling, as she felt warmth enveloping her heart. She took a sip of water and turned to Brendan. “Are you going to be okay after, urn, today?” “Why? It was nothing.”

Deirdre was skeptical of his claim, but she simply could not pry more out of him and decided to get information straight from the horse’s mouth. She waited until Brendan went to his study and asked Mrs. Engel instead.

“But Miss McKinnon!”

Deirdre flashed a smile. “Don’t worry about how I’m gonna take it, Mrs.

Engel. I’ve always been resilient. I’m just curious, that’s all. Just wondering how this whole thing will unravel.”

Mrs. Engel searched the Internet for a while and immediately closed the browser. “Those people are acting the same as ever,” she said vaguely.” Uh, Mr. Brighthall’s being dragged into it, but I don’t know if it’s going to affect him that much.”

Deirdre’s mind turned blank. Of course, it was going to affect him!

The rest of his callers were so apoplectic that they could not even respond for a long time. ‘You maddening jack*ss! Are you that besotted with a criminal? Godd*mnit! There are so many other women in the world, and you’re going to die on this specific hill!? Fine! We won’t stop you, but you’re not going to return to Brighthall Group after this!” “Fine by me. I don’t have any strong opinions either way,” Brendan said placidly. “But I should remind you that if you people kick me out and make me lose my power as a CEO, the company’s done for. Because none of you among the board has the skills or power to turn this around, anyway.”

He sounded so flat it could hardly be registered as a threat, yet the board stayed silent for a while. Then, as if reeling out of shock, the reply came,” No. Enough is enough. We thought you’d be able to solve this crisis, but oh, look where we are now. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!

“Let me burst your bubble, Brighthall. The Brighthall Group’s reputation and support have tanked! People are throwing sh*t at us, insulting us, and making fun of us! You still think you’re that untouchable, uber-elite, everyone’s-favorite-billionaire-icon, huh? If we let you handle Brighthall Group any longer, it won’t matter how established this company is. The entire empire… is going to fall!”
