Chapter 1911 Settle The Score
“Congratulations on your safe return, Ms. Benett. During your disappearance, we've been praying
constantly. Thank goodness. The heavens have heard our prayers.”
“Indeed, indeed. Without Ms. Benett, who knows what will happen to the company.”
“Isn't that the truth? Ms. Benett is blessed with luck.”
As soon as the first person started to bootlick Elisa, others began to pledge their loyalty.
And so, Paul was left out in the cold.
The expression on Paul's face underwent a series of drastic changes.
The current scene made him feel superfluous, especially since he was the only one standing, which
made him stand out awkwardly.
Bella managed to shake off the security guard and took a seat at the director's position after Elisa
entered the conference room.
No one questioned it, as no one dared to.
On the other hand, Paul was in a predicament. Caught between a rock and a hard place, he didn't

Bella swept her gaze across the crowd, a sneer playing on his lips as she observed their expressions.
Those who were truly loyal to Elisa were absent. Those present were either already siding with Paul or
were still undecided.
At that very moment, they felt a tingling sensation on their scalp and were on pins and needles. They
desperately wished for a method for them to prove their loyalty to Elisa.
Regrettably, Elisa just smiled, leaning back in her chair. She stared ahead with a hazy gaze and a
vacant look on her face. Others couldn't tell what was on her mind.
It would be normal if she had flown into a rage and questioned them.
Yet, oddly enough, Elisa had no superfluous movements or expressions, behaving no different from an
outsider.
As Elisa was just too intimidating in that demeanor, Rochelle couldn't help but flatter her.
“Ms. Benett could return because she's compassionate and merciful to the living. It's also because of
your outstanding capabilities that the heavens blessed you with good fortune, Ms. Benett.”
Paul's face turned even more unsightly after he heard that. He shot Rochelle a fierce glare.
Rochelle really had no choice. If circumstances allowed, she wouldn't want to suck up to Elisa.
Despite the compliments from so many people, Elisa didn't react. However, when Rochelle
complimented her, she raised an eyebrow, and her gaze fell on Rochelle.
Rochelle truly experienced the meaning of a glance that weighed a ton.
With just a casual glance, Elisa seemed to be able to see through all of Rochelle's thoughts and
understand what the latter feared the most.
That feeling of being seen through by others was quite unsettling, yet there was nothing Rochelle could
do about it.
As soon as Elisa spoke, Rochelle's face changed.
She said, “Who can tell me why you're sitting here? If I'm not mistaken, you should have been fired
already.”
Rochelle stammered, unable to articulate a coherent explanation.
Paul's veins bulged in anger, realizing that Elisa was just trying to pick a fight.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmClenching his fist, he said, “I was the one who rehired Rochelle.”
It seemed as if Elisa had heard some hilarious joke, and she started laughing.
Everyone was too scared to speak, let alone discuss anything.
All they could do was sit there in silence, anxiously waiting for what Elisa would say next.
Having had her fill of laughter, Elisa wiped away the tears that had formed from her amusement. “I
never knew that a person fired by the chairman could be rehired. Mr. Grayson, can you tell me what's
the logic behind this?”
Paul was rendered speechless.
Despite it being common knowledge that he intended to seize power and replace Elisa, he knew Elisa
was also aware.
Elisa also knew that Paul understood that she knew.
However, Paul couldn't voice it out.
Understanding and voicing out were two different things. If he truly spoke out, he would become a
complete traitor.
