Chapter 97
Isabe rolled her eyes after mming the meeting room door shut with a
bang.
Those in the meeting room looked at each other, wondering just what the
source of her anger was.
“Mr. Quinn, has the Human Resources issued a dismissal notice as
instructed?” Isabe asked as she seated herself at the head of the table.
Since Elijah Quinn, the Human Resources director, was the Shaffer Group’s
senior executive, he and Isabe were on different ranks even if she
remained an executive secretary. For that reason, he had a slightly
disapproving look when he saw her suddenly sit at the head of the table and
give out orders.

“Mr. Shaffer has yet to agree, so we can’t act recklessly.”
Isabe said coldly as she shot a nce at the middle-aged man across
from her, “In that case, you may issue it now. Fire the person in charge of the
World Trade Mall at once.”
Elijah frowned, showing slight defiance. “Miss Symons-”
Before he could finish his sentence, Isabe withdrew her gaze and said,
“Public rtions department.”
She didn’t give Elijah a chance to speak. Instead, she directed her orders to
the public rtions department as a whole, resulting in the atmosphere in
the room turning a bit strange.
-The deputy director of the public rtions department was a woman. She
Chapter 97 Miss Symons Who Owns It All
was famous for being diplomatic in her speech.
“We have arranged the crew needed to set up the press conference. Miss
Symons, we can immediately execute it as long as you give us the word.”
Isabe nodded in satisfaction. Then, she said with her arms crossed, “We will
hold the press conference in two hours. Apart from having the major media
present, invite some of the media acquainted with the Shaffer Group and
-arrange for them to be seated in the front row.”
“Also…” She paused momentarily before turning to look at Selena, who was
facing her. “You will call Miss Shaffer and ask her toe over.”
Selena was dumbfounded as she didn’t expect her to get name-dropped so
suddenly. “Me? I’m not capable of doing so.”

“As the head of the secretary, if you can’t even ask her toe over, are you
implying that we have to ask Mr. Shaffer to ask her to attend the conference
personally?” Isabe raised her eyebrows and cast her a look filled with
disdain.
Selena was instantly bereft of speech. Then, she clenched her hands and
uttered through her teeth, “I… will try my best.”
“Good.” Isabe knocked on the table, her movement identical to Seth’s. “All
departments should hurry up and get ready. Ourpany has just sealed a
mining broker deal recently, so we absolutely cannot allow ourpany’s
image to be damaged. You can imagine the consequence that awaits you if
any of you slip up at such a critical moment.”
After that, she raised her tone slightly and announced, “Meeting adjourned.”
Chapter 97 Miss Symons Who Owns It All
None present in the room voiced their further opinions. Plus, even though
Elijah detested Isabe, he didn’t dare to offend her impetuously. He simply
passed by Isabe with a sullen look on his face.
Isabe sat at the head of the table as she controlled the overall situation
and responded to immediate questions from the staff members of the
rted departments at any time.
Half an hourter, the press conference was ready to start. s, Lara still had
yet to arrive.
A slightly worried Ellie asked, “Isabe, shall we wait for her?”
Isabe picked up the script, straightened her back, and sauntered out. “She
will show up. Have someone ready to pick her up outside.”
Chapter 97 Miss Symons Who Owns It All
“Okay.”
Isabe wasn’t worried at all. Although Lara is stupid, her idiocy still isn’t
beyond redemption. Even if it is, Selena will also beg her toe over. After
all, she is keen to show off in front of Seth.
The press conference was held at the Shaffer Group’s conference hall. At this
moment, approximately three to five hundred major media stood inside and
outside the hall. Coupled with the onlookers and scattered reporters, the
conference hall, which could amodate several thousand people,
became overcrowded in the blink of an eye.
Isabe walked behind a group of secretaries and bodyguards. Since she
was well-protected from the back and front, none of the media could get
close to her.

As soon as she sat at the table, the media shoved their mics and cameras
right at her face. Soon, all she could see was the unceasing shes and hear
the sound of shutters going off.
“Miss, as the victim of this incident, have you received the Shaffer Group’s

unaware that the “victim” ahead was Isabe.
Once the first question was asked, the rest of the reporters subsequently
tossed Isabe a series of canny questions-each of which touched the
Shaffer Group’spany image. Finally, one of the reporters questioned
whether apany having a bully like Lara as their employee was qualified
to obtain a mining concession.

We’re finally getting back to the topic. Now, I can express what I want to say.
Isabe remained silent the whole time. Once the reporters’ momentum
started slowing, she lowered the microphone.
Pfft!
The woman, who was about to speak on stage, couldn’t helpughing.
The media immediately burst into an uproar, stunned at what was
happening.
“Does no one truly realize who I am?” Isabe asked.
The entire hall went silent as her voice resonated faintly across the venue.
Chapter 97 Miss Symons Who Owns It All
The reporters looked at each other, confused.
She took off her hat and mask, leaving only a pair of sunsses on her face.
After revealing half of her face, she said at an unhurried pace, “I identally
ran into a biker gang and injured my face when I was out for dinnerst night.
As a result, I have no choice but to meet you all in such a dress-up.”
All the media present still didn’t understand what she was trying to say even
-though they were staring at her.
Isabe immediately turned around and nced at Ellie, who was controlling
therge screen, before nodding slightly.
The next second, her personal information was disyed on the screen.
“Let me introduce myself. I am Isabe Symons, the Shaffer Group’s former
Chapter 97 Miss Symons Who Owns It All
executive secretary.”

The crowd was in an uproar the moment these words escaped her lips.
“Are you and Miss Shaffer having some sort of a personal conflict? Was that
why she humiliated you in public?”
Isabe smiled and shook her head upon hearing the inquiry. “Actually, it was
just a part of a diathesis test conducted within thepany. Miss Shaffer
was simply making a guest appearance.”
Suddenly, there was a ruckus outside the hall halfway through her speech
