The next morning.


    Amanda went back to the office for a meeting.


    She was going to warn Olinka about relocating residents in the old town. Still, as soon as she arrived at thepany, she felt that the atmosphere wasn’t quite right.


    “Good morning, Miss Jewell.”


    “Morning.”


    “Miss Jewell.”


    “Huh.”


    On the way to the conference room from the elevator, she met several subordinates of severalpanies who were whispering something to each other with mobile phones in their hands.


    Amanda was still confused when the chief engineer of the project, Mr. Ewell, arrived. “Morning, Miss Jewell.”


    “Morning, Mr. Ewell. What happened at thepany?”


    “What’s the matter?” Mr. Ewell was confused too. “Nothing.”


    Amanda had no time to think. “Let’s go to the meeting first.”


    In the conference room, all the employees of the project had arrived.


    Amanda simply said a few words to boost morale. “Almost everything is in ce in terms of financial budget. Some purchases haven’t reached the warehouse yet, and the rest are the project quality supervision. You have to be careful about this…”


    In the middle of the meeting, someone opened the door.


    “Mr. Sean.”


    Everyone in the conference room stood up.


    When Amanda saw it was Halley, she frowned, and her eyes darkened.


    Halley nced around and said unhappily, “You’re starting a meeting without waiting for me?”


    Everyone went silent like cicadas in the winter.


    Amanda was the only one who remained calm. “Mr. Sean, our meeting time is 9:10. Everyone has been notified. It’s already 9:30. You’re the one who’ste.”


    “I’mte?” Halley sneered. “Aren’t you curious why I’mte?”


    “Mr. Sean, you’re very busy.”


    “Very busy?”


    Halley immediately mmed a newspaper on the table. “You must be very busy with your business. Doing such a thing that forces the old and weak to ruin thepany’s reputation, how did you be the general manager?”


    Amanda was stunned.


    There was a morning newspaper that had just been released on the table. It was the headlines of social news.


    “The Large Group Developed the Old Town and Forced the 90-year-old Lady to Move.”


    Every sentence of the article pointed directly at the Sean Group. Although the photos were shot with mosaics, it was shockingly the picture of Amanda in front of a shabby bungalow. Behind her were two burly men holding some pots and pans.


    The newspaper in the conference room immediately went viral.


    “What’s going on? Why is it in the news?”


    “Force relocation? Didn’t Miss Jewell say that this is not allowed?”


    “The photos are here. This is not the entertainment news.”


    “Mr. Sean, this isn’t true.” Mr. Ewell read the newspaper and immediately stood up. “I was there yesterday morning as well. Miss Jewell went to stop the demolition. It wasn’t really in the news at all!”


    “Shut up. You work for Amanda. Of course, you will speak up for her. Do you really think I don’t know anything?” Halley scolded Mr. Ewell directly. “I don’t think you want to be the chief engineer anymore!”


    Mr. Ewell’s expression changed. He wanted to exin it but was interrupted by Amanda.


    “Mr. Ewell, someone is trying to frame me. It’s useless for you to exin.” Amanda directly turned the newspaper over and put it on the table. Her apathetic eyes fell on Halley. “The olddy is lying in the hospital unconscious. I don’t think I can exin it clearly, can I?”


    Mr. Sean said, “It’s your own fault. You made the whole group take the me. What else do you want to exin?”


    “Halley now is not the time to talk about this. We should now hold a public rtions meeting to minimize the matter’s negative impact.”


    “I don’t need you to tell me. I’ve already asked Olinka to do it.”


    Amanda’s heart skipped a beat.


    Halley nced at everyone and said tly, “The project meeting will be suspended. In the afternoon, the Sean Group will hold a press conference to apologize to society for the negative impact. As for Amanda’s position as the general manager, she will be dismissed.”


    With that, he nced at Amanda and swaggered off.


    The meeting ended before it was over. Everyone looked at each other in dismay.


    Mr. Ewell said, “Everyone, you can disperse for now.”


    “Miss Jewell, why don’t you exin to Mr. Sean?”


    “Exin what? Do you think Mr. Sean wants to hear my exnation? He wanted nothing more than to find fault with me, so he could let me step down from the general manager position. That way, the Byran Group won’t be able to say anything. After all, it’s just a proposal from the society.”


    “What do you mean by that?”


    Amanda clenched her fists. “If I’m not mistaken, Olinka will push all the me onto me at the press conference in the afternoon.”


    “But I can testify.”


    “No one will believe you.” Amanda gave him a deep look. “Mr. Ewell, you don’t have to speak up for me.”


    The news quickly spread on the Inte, and the weak always aroused public anger. This time, the media grasped theizens’ eyes and produced a great contradiction.


    One morning, the article about tearing down the house and forcing the olddy to die had been reposted hundreds of times. It was still growing thousands of data.


    In the conference hall, all the major media in Do were gathered.


    Amanda stood by backstage and was about to exin when Olinka’s men stopped her.


    “Miss Jewell, I’m sorry. Miss Fane said not let you go up now.”


    At this moment, Olinka was wearing a formal dress with a severe expression on stage.


    “As the general manager of Sean Group, I represent the Sean Group to apologize to you for the news this morning. First of all, after our investigation, we have confirmed that it is true.”


    The crowd immediately erupted intomotion.


    “That is to say, does your group really have the matter of tearing down the house in the old town and forcing the olddy to death?”


    “The act of tearing down the house by force is indeed done by the employees of our group. But we discovered it in time, and the olddy had been sent to the hospital for treatment. The employee is the members of our project. She has extreme means of doing things and has been fired by our group.”


    “Fired? Why is it firing again?”


    The crowd immediately grew noisy.


    Every time something happened to a bigpany, an employee would be pushed out to take the me. They were either temporary or interns. In the final analysis, they were all scapegoats.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    The reporters were all experienced and had long been disbelieving of this.


    “If it weren’t for the decision made by your higher-ups, how could someone forcibly tear it down? I’m afraid it would be difficult to give society an exnation.”


    “Yes, and the person in the photos is said to be the general manager of your group.”


    “Why didn’t shee out?”


    The questions came like artillery shells, stirring up a thick gunpowder smoke in therge conference room.


    Olinka, on the other hand, didn’t look anxious at all. This was what she wanted. She wanted to use public opinion to plunge Amanda into eternal damnation.


    “Tell her toe out and apologize.”


    “That’s right. Ask the person involved toe out and apologize!”


    Someone with sharp eyes spotted a figure in the direction of backstage. “It’s her! She’s there!”


    “She’s the person in charge of this project!”


    The reporters were initially sitting in their seats all left and directly rushed backstage.


    “Miss Jewell, please move out of the way.”


    Before Amanda coulde back to her senses, someone pushed her. She staggered and fell down.
