Chapter 2323


    Ste said coldly, "I''m not Jaylene. Don''t try your ttery on me, and don''t me me if my words get harsh."


    Julia''s face turned a mix of green and white. Her lips trembled, but she couldn''t get a word out.


    The elevator arrived at the seventh floor, and Wren, Julia, and the others stepped out. Ste, expressionless, closed the elevator doors.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    Once the doors were fully shut, Julia looked up, her face openly showing her resentment. "She just got lucky being born into the right family. People call her Ms. Hall and she really thinks she''s something!''


    A colleague quietly cautioned, "Stop it, someone might hear you."


    Julia dismissed the warning, "Let them hear! Everyone in thepany knows Caline belongs to Ms. Arnold. We''re just humoring Ste by calling her Ms. Hall. Even Wren knows who to listen to. Doesn''t she get it?"


    The colleagues exchanged nces but said nothing.


    Last month''s paychecks showed that employees in Ste''s department received a bit more money. The surprising part was that her department often finished work earlier than others. Rumor had it that Ste changed the bonus distribution. Previously, the supervisor''s bonus was calcted separately, with the rest divided equally among the staff based on attendance. Now, Ste included her bonus in the pool, resulting in her taking less but raising the overall wages for her team.


    In the end, everyone works for their paycheck. Who cares if Ste knows anything about perfumery? What mattered was that she genuinely improved their ie, and this was evident to everyone.


    Especially with the buzz around the "blind date group" she started. She really used her connections to introduce people! Thetest sensation was the photo of a guy named Skr Sadler.


    What bad intentions could Ms. Hall have? She just wanted to help every sister find a home!


    Julia nced at Wren with a sneer. "You have quite the skills. Even after all that, she didn''t take it out on you."


    Wren kept her eyes down, silent and unresponsive.


    A colleague tried to defend her, "Come on, Julia, you know what Wren''s like," which only irritated Julia more.


    A pathetic pauper acting all high and mighty!


    Julia suddenly smiled, finding a target for her frustration.


    "You think she''s so noble now, but she''s just an ungrateful wretch. When her sry wasn''t paid, and her grandmother needed hospital care, it was Ms. Hall who asked Kiara to transfer a hundred thousand to her ount, saving her from


    desperation. Such a lifesaving favor deserves more than just thanks, but what did she do? When Ms. Hall stood up for her, she stabbed Ms. Hall in the back. I was just standing up for Ms. Hall earlier." Read thetest


    chapter there!


    Ste had kept this quiet, respecting Wren''s dignity, so this revtion changed how everyone looked at Wren.


    Ingratitude is always despised, and even those who had defended Wren fell silent.


    Moments ago, Wren was too


    ashamed to look up, but now she stared directly at Julia Goldly saying, "I''ve already repaid the hundred thousand. I never asked her to help me, and I don''t owe her anything. If you want to curry favor with Ms. Hall, don''t use me as your stepping stone!"


    Julia was taken aback, her intentions


    embarrassingly exposed, and sheshed out "Ungrateful wretch! Shut your filthy mouth! Who''s currying favor?''


    "Whoever responds to me is the one."


    Julia, enraged, was about to hit Wren when someone stepped in, stopping her. "What are you two doing?"
