    Chapter 249


    Dismissal was the worst thing that could happen in one’s career. Gelling sent to fall meant that she


    would never get a chance at another job in the future.


    Vivan crouched and helped Susan up, with sympathy written all over her face. Yet her eyes had a


    sharp and sinister gleam to them,


    “When you’re in there, remember that there are things that you should and shouldn’t say,” she


    whispered.


    Then, Vivian raised her voice and said, “Susan, you’ve been by my side for so many years. How could


    you do this?

    Sighing, she added, “Follow the rules when you’re in there. When you’ve turned a new leaf and are


    released in the future, Ill surely give you a new job so that you can start anew.”


    By saying this, Vivian emphasized her position as a superior who was kind and gracious,


    The police officers came soon alter and took Susan away with them. Peace was linally restored in the


    office. No one dared to stay and watch any longer, and all of them went back to their spols lo continue


    their work.


    Caroline called out to Vivian, “Vivian, please y.”


    Vin balled her hands and tried to push away the burning rage within her. Slowly, she turned toce


    Caroline with a smile on her face,


    “What’s the matter, Caroline?”


    “Susan’s your subordinate. She wouldn’t have done this without your order.”


    “What are you saying?”


    “You and I know full well that she’s a scapegoat.”


    “Oh really? Are you going to fire me then?”


    Caroline smiled. “Well, I’m all about proof and evidence, so I won’t frame others to achieve my goals.”


    Vivian’s eyes spat fire when she looked at her.


    After taking several deep breaths, she sneered. “Stop bbering. Just lire me if you want to. Other


    companies will hire me even if I leave


    Thome Corp!” Vivian had nothing to fear.


    Smiling, Caroline replied, “Indeed, you can go to some other ce after leaving thispany, but what


    goes aroundes around. I suggest you know your ce and stop scheming.”


    “You-” Vivian was so furious that her words failed her. Just as she thought of something to retaliate


    with, they heard Jules’s voice


    “What’s going on? I heard that the police came not long ago,” he said.


    The scowl on Vivian’s face instantly vanished, and she started protesting, “Mr. Hawkins, Susan made a


    blunder, but Caroline made a fuss out of it. She keeps saying that I was involved in it. Don’t you think


    she’s being unreasonable?”


    Jules knitted his brows and looked at Caroline. “Is that true?”


    Caroline briefed him about what had happened and added, “Vivian and I were simply discussing ways


    to handle our subordinates in the future. Even though this issue had nothing to do with her, Susan was


    her subordinale. Besides, the problem happened in the office, so she can’t shirk her responsibility.“!


    Jules heartily agreed with Caroline. “That’s right. Even though it wasn’t your fault, Vivian, you were too


    lenient with Susan,” he said.


    “You should reflect on this. If something like this were to happen again, I’d have to reconsider your


    position as a director.”


    Vivian paled at his words. In truth, Jules was well aware of the battle between Caroline and her, but he


    chose to turn a blind eye to it.


    Today, his words served as a warning to remind her that if she stirred up a problem again, she’d be


    kicked out of her position as the assistant design director.


    After so many years of knowing each other, Vivian and Jules could be considered friends already. His


    stern tone made her feel humiliated saysl
