“If you’re not willing to apologize, then my hands are tied,” Brooklyn said coldly. “I’ll contact Cecilia and have her instruct the public relations team to issue an apology on your behalf. In the meantime, it’s best you stay away from the office.” 

The implication was crystal clear: Cassandra was being sacrificed to protect the company’s reputation and appease the online backlash. 

Cassandra’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Aunt Brooklyn, how could you do this to me?” 

Brooklyn’s voice remained calm but firm. “Take some time to reflect, Cassandra. I’ll give you until tomorrow to reconsider.” 

With that, Brooklyn ended the call and immediately reached out to Cecilia. 

Cecilia had already seen the news circulating online. She understood that the only viable solution was to apologize and seek forgiveness from the three employees who had been unfairly dismissed. 

When Brooklyn asked her to hold off for a moment, Cecilia agreed but wasted no time summoning the HR manager to her office. 

The manager entered nervously, wiping a thin layer of sweat from his forehead. “Ms. Cecilia, I honestly didn’t anticipate the situation escalating like this or causing so much damage.” 

Cecilia’s tone was firm but calm. “As the HR manager, you have the authority to hire and fire employees. But with that authority comes responsibility. You’ve been in this field for years–you know very well whether Cassandra’s demands were legal or not, don’t you?” 

-The manager nodded reluctantly. “I do, but I was afraid of upsetting her.” 

Cecilia’s fingers lightly tapped the table, her gaze sharp. “And why didn’t you seek permission or advice before carrying out such orders?” 

The manager lowered his head, visibly ashamed. Deep down, he hadn’t trusted Cecilia’s authority, believing Cassandra still held the real power in the company. 

“Prepare yourself—it’s time for you to resign,” Cecilia said, her tone calm but resolute. 

The manager’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Ms. Cecilia, I’ve been with the company for over a decade.” 

“You will be compensated according to the terms of your contract,” Cecilia replied firmly. 

She knew that letting him stay would undermine her authority. If she allowed him to remain, the other executives might feel emboldened to bypass her and carry out Cassandra’s directives behind her back. Firing the HR manager would send a clear message: she was in charge, and any deviation from company policies would have consequences. 

“Please, grant me another chance,” the manager pleaded, his regret evident. “I realize I was wrong. From now on, I’ll strictly follow the company’s policies and consult you first in every situation. I promise you won’t regret keeping me. 

But it was too late. 

Cecilia didn’t waver. “I’ll offer you double the severance pay. That should be more than enough to help you

The manager, his shoulders slumped, nodded reluctantly and left her office. 

It wasn’t long before the news of the HR manager’s dismissal spread throughout the company.
