Having worked for Audrey for many years, he had slipped up before, but Audrey had never punished him this severely!
The driver tried to explain, "Mrs. Sutton, I just misspoke! I only..."
"Take him away." Audrey didn't even spare the driver another glance as her aides helped the driver up from the ground and led him away.
Freya always knew Audrey for her charitable front, but she had never seen her ruthless side until that moment.

Audrey asked, "Freya, I called you here to ask if you’ve heard about the news."
"Audrey, what news are you talking about?" Freya pretended to be confused as she stared at Audrey.Audrey pulled out her phone, displaying the headline about Freya inheriting the Dawson Group and partnering with the Beckett Group.
