Chapter 1187


    Lina bit her lip, feeling a mix of anger and worry for Melissa.


    She understood her mother’s temper. Public humiliation like this hurt her more than a physical injury.


    “Mom…” Lina supported Melissa and noticed her pale face. She was visibly distressed. “Don’t get


    angry. You don’t need to stoop down to their level.”


    “What do you mean?” Erin interjected. “We have a responsibility to verify the identity of unknown


    individuals!”


    “But… Lina, your mother really made us see things differently!”


    “Exactly! When she argued with us earlier, she acted like a shrew!”


    “Yeah! Some of our colleagues even said that the intern’s family must be wealthy.” Amelia smirked with


    malice. “Hah! I guess I was right! If her family is rich, then I’ll go dig coal!”


    “Have you said enough?” Melissa’s anger red, and she red at them. “You young ones are so


    sharp and mean-spirited. Show some decency! Be careful, or no one will want you in the future!


    “My daughter works with all of you, and just because I didn’t have an appointment, you treat me like


    this? Besides, I didn’t even know about this rule until now. I was nning to leave, but you grabbed


    onto me!


    “Furthermore, my daughter… How can you say my daughter’s family isn’t wealthy? She—”


    “Mom!” Lina patted her hand and gave her a stern look.

    Melissa understood and immediately stopped speaking.


    Lina whispered, “Mom, let me take you back first.”


    “Heh! This middle-aged woman doesn’t know the rules. And you don’t either?” Amelia continued. “Lina,


    you need to register her in the section for cklisted unfamiliar visitors. Next time, the security can


    keep her outside the building. No need for her toe in!”


    “You—”


    Before Lina could respond, amanding voice suddenly echoed.


    “Does the Thompson Group have such a rule? Because I don’t remember!”


    Lina froze and saw Linda slowly entering the lobby. Her expression was cold, and her gaze swept over


    everyone, radiating authority.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books

    Linda rarely appeared in thepany, and most employees only knew her name without recognizing


    her in person. She stood in front of Amelia and Erin with a cold smirk, shielding Lina and Melissa


    behind her.


    “What rule were you talking about just now? Enlighten me.”


    Although Amelia and Erin found her unfamiliar, they could sense her wealthy and powerful presence.


    They knew she was not someone to be trifled with.


    “Madam, you—”


    “What’s your name?” Linda stared at Amelia’s name tag, her smile turning cryptic. “Amelia Rich?”


    Then, she turned to Erin and Kendal.


    “I remember all three of your names now.” Linda hummed coldly. “Go to the HR department today and


    follow the proper termination procedures. You’re fired!”


    “What!?” The three of them had a sudden change in expression, mixed with a hint of discontent. “Who


    are you? Why are you spouting nonsense? The Thompson Group hired us through regr recruitment.


    We—”


    “I’m Linda Quimby.” She raised an eyebrow and sneered. “Nichs Thompson’s wife. Is there a


    problem? Do I need your permission to terminate employees in my ownpany?”


    A sudden veil of silence fell, and the air seemed to freeze. The onlookers were surprised, and whispers


    soon filled the surroundings.
