Vivian hadn’t been prepared for this at all. After a long time, she closed her eyes and wiped the
water away.
A secondter, she raised her hand to give Caroline a p.
Caroline caught her wrist and mocked coldly, “Didn’t you say not to make mountains out of
molehills, Ms. Patterson?”
Vivian’s rage was stuck in her throat. She could neither suppress nor express it. It was so frustrating
that Vivian wanted to explode. She gnashed her teeth. “Caroline Evans!”
Caroline grinned. She turned and addressed the crowd.

“As long as I’m still in the design department, I won’t allow any bullying. If something like this
happens again, you better resign on your own. Otherwise, I will write a detailed exnation about
it on your dismissal report!”
Once she said that, she shot Cheryl a look. “Let’s go.”
Cheryl looked at Caroline in admiration. It wasn’t until Caroline had walked away that she
snapped out of her trance and followed.
In the office, Cheryl said, “You were so cool just now, Ms. Evans!”
Caroline smiled. “Cheryl, when you encounter issues like this in the future, you must learn to
fight back. Being kind will only mean that people will bully you. It’s thew of the jungle, and you
must be more ruthless than others to survive, got it?”
Cheryl felt like Caroline was glowing. She nodded gratefully. “Alright, Ms. Evans. I’ll remember
what you said.”
“Okay, go outside then.”
Back in Vivian’s office, a long time had passed since Caroline had left. Susan finally gathered her
wits. Closing the door, she went up to Vivian, who was still in shock. “Viv, are you alright?”
Vivian wiped the cold water off her face. “Caroline! Once thispetition is over, I’ll definitely
chase her out of Thorne Corporation!”
Susan quickly pulled out several pieces of tissue paper and handed them to Vivian. Still fearful,
she said, “That’s right, Viv. Caroline’s too much. She’s bullying you!”
Vivian’s gaze was stormy. She grabbed the tissues and carelessly dried the water on her face. Her
head was filled with thoughts of using the current project to chase Caroline out of Thorne
Corporation.
An ultimatum?

Jules looked at the document Vivian handed him and hurriedly waved his hands. “No, no‘ I can’t
Ganction this
“Why not?” Vivian continued insistently, “If her designs win Mr. French’s interest, I will obey her
withoutint and help her in her work Conversely, if I win, she’ll have to give me the
position of Design Director
“Mr. Hawkins, didn’t you ask me to work with her peacefully? Isn’t this the perfect chance for it? Once
Caroline agrees to this arrangement, we’ll both be satisfied with the results when theye
out. Neither of us will make another fuss. This solves a problem for you.
Discord in the design department meant a huge headache for Jules. He was quite moved by
Vivian’s suggestion.
But Caroline had Kirk’s support.
He was afraid…
“Don’t even think about it. Unless. Unless Caroline herself agrees.
“Then you can just ask her about it.”
Jules frowned. “Vivian…”
“Mr. Hawkins, I’ve worked under you for many years. I’ve contributed a lot of effort, if not achievements.
It’s just a phone call. Can’t you agree to that?”
Jules sighed helplessly. “Alright.”
He picked up the phone and called Caroline. After a long conversation, he finally brought up Vivian’s
ultimatum. He had never expected Caroline to agree to it so swiftly.
Jules was a bit dazed as he held onto the phone.
“What did she say? Did she agree to it?” Vivian asked.
“She did,” Jules mumbled.
Vivian’s expression shifted. She scoffed.
She’d changed the information Caroline had on Corvin French. Thus, there was no way Caroline could
produce a design he liked.
No matter what, Caroline was going to lose thispetition.
