Chapter 1141 Are You Firing Me

“So, Ms. Miranda, Charlotte said innocently, “should we agree to terminate those contracts? That would be a massive loss, don’t you think? Maybe we should hand the projects back to Ms. Smith instead.” 

Miranda’s face went red with frustration, feeling the mounting embarrassment. 

Watching from her seat, Cecilia fought back a smirk, clearly amused by the unfolding drama. 

Meanwhile, Charlotte continued, undeterred. “Honestly, we don’t even know if the clients are still interested at this point?” 

“Get out! Now!” Miranda’s voice reached a fever pitch, her temper flaring as she all but screamed for Charlotte to leave. 

The rest of the room watched the spectacle with amused expressions, taking in the show. But before Charlotte could slip out, Elena, who had remained silent up until now, spoke up. “Wait a minute,” Elena called out, her tone firm but calm. “You don’t need to leave just yet.” 

Charlotte stopped in her tracks and, with a s 

ly smile, moved to close the conference room door as she made herself comfortable. If anyone was leaving, it wasn’t going to be her. Not until things were resolved. 

“Miranda,” Elena began, “What’s this I hear about you taking over Ceci’s projects? Care to explain?” 

Elena couldn’t have been more relieved that she had attended the meeting today. Had she not been there, she might have remained blissfully unaware of the underhanded scheming taking place right under her nose. 

Before Miranda could gather her thoughts, the managers from other departments couldn’t hold back any longer. They quickly jumped in, airing their grievances. 

“Mdm. Elena, our department had a promising project, but Ms. Miranda took it from us,” one of them accused. 

Too ashamed to admit that Adrian had handed the projects to Miranda, they resorted to claiming they were taken by force. 

Elena was no fool, and she saw through their attempts to save face. “Since when did Orion Corporation become the Leighton family’s playground?” she asked, her eyes narrowing in disbelief. 

This kind of ruthless competition was exactly what Orion Corporation despised. It led to immeasurable losses, both financial and reputational. 

Miranda, sensing the tension, cast a desperate glance at Adrian, silently begging for his support. But Adrian wasn’t going to stick his neck out for her. Instead, he feigned disapproval. 

“Miranda, what you’ve done is completely inappropriate,” Adrian said, his voice stern but insincere. “Even though you’re a daughter–in–law of the Rainsworth family, here at Orion Corporation, we’re all employees. You can’t resort to such disgraceful tactics.” 

Miranda couldn’t believe her ears. Her own husband was throwing her under the bus. She opened her mouth to protest, but Adrian cut her off. “According to company policy, engaging in unethical competition is grounds for immediate dismissal,” Adrian stated, as if reading from a rulebook. 

Miranda’s eyes widened in shock. “Adrian, are you… firing me?” she asked, her voice shaking with disbelief. 

In a fit of anger, Miranda slammed her hands down on the table and stood up, her face flushed with rage. The entire conference room felt like a stage for just the two of them now. 

Elena, not expecting things to escalate, turned to Nicholas. “Is this how you run your company, Nicholas?” she asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm. 

Nicholas, unphased, tapped his fingers lightly on the table. “This is a workplace, not your living room. If you want to argue, 

do it at home.” 

Only then did Miranda’s mouth snapped shut. Adrian gave her a subtle, knowing look, silently urging her to keep quiet. They could hash this out later in private. 

Reluctantly, Miranda sat back down, but the tension in the room was palpable.

had never imagined that she would lose to Cecilia, but the tables had turned. It wasn’t Cecilia who left the company in disgrace–it was her. 

As she gathered her things to leave, she cast a furious glance at Cecilia. 

“Trying to sabotage me, are you?” Miranda commented snidely. 

Cecilia met her gaze coolly, unbothered by the bitter outburst. “If you hadn’t been so greedy, none of this would’ve happened.” 

“You think you’ve won, don’t you?” Miranda hissed. “This isn’t over. Don’t think you’re invincible just because Elena is backing you up. She’ll grow old, she’ll die, and let’s see how you, a mere woman, can handle things with that dim–witted husband of 

yours. 

With one final glare, she stormed out, her anger trailing behind her. 

Charlotte sidled up to Cecilia once Miranda was gone. “That woman really has a way with ugly words, doesn’t she?” 

Cecilia let out a light laugh. “It’s all she has left.” 

Charlotte admired her boss‘ cool, level–headed approach to the situation. It was one of the reasons she had so much respect for her. 

With Miranda gone, there was no one left to run her department/The employees were reassigned to other areas of the company, and Cecilia wasted no time transferring Charlotte into her own team. In doing so, she had the satisfaction of firing the spy Miranda had planted in her department.
