Chapter 274 Being a Mistress Offers No Future Prospects
Sophia was driven crazy by her shamelessness. “Why you… Have you no shame?”
“Shame? Yeah, I have no shame. I indeed entered Fairlight through the backdoor and Joseph does
favor me. Just a few sweet nothings whispered in his ear, and he would have you fired. Smart people
know to please me, but you resorted to scheming against me. How foolish can you be?”
Infuriated and knowing that the rumors had already spread, Chloe decided to unleash herself. Joseph
was far from being a middle-aged man. He possessed both striking looks and abundant wealth.
Therefore, even if she were entangled in such a relationship, it would hardly be a cause
for shame.

heated argument between Chloe and Sophia. He was momentarily taken aback and unsure whether to

spouting nonsense. I haven’t done anything wrong. Please help me!”
Lucas discreetly distanced himself from her, wearing a professional smile on his face. “I’m sorry, but
you have indeed been dismissed.”
Chloe’s eyelid twitched and deeply suspected that Lucas was playing along with her charade. In reality,
it was not Lucas cooperating with her, but Joseph.

Unfortunately, Lucas had not yet had the opportunity to notify the HR department of Joseph’s decision.
Sophia found this hard to believe. “Mr. Lucas, you’re joking, right?”
“Pack up your belongings. Finance will settle your accounts.”
Realizing further resistance was futile, Sophia refrained from causing any more trouble. Like a defeated
hen, she hung her head in silence, gathered her belongings, and left.
Lucas watched Sophia leave the marketing department and then proceeded to announce a team -
building trip before leaving as well. Once he departed, the other workers cast curious glances toward

though Mr. Joseph is rich, being a mistress offers no future prospects.”
Chloe blinked. “You’re right.”
After leaving Fairlight, Sophia immediately dialed the woman’s phone number. “I got fired. You
promised to compensate me.”
“Don’t worry.” A gentle voice came through the phone. “The money will be transferred to you shortly.
Besides that, do you have any other useful information to provide?”
With the promise providing a glimmer of hope, Sophia’s spirits lifted slightly. “I overheard. discussions
in the finance department about a company-wide team-building trip. It appears they’re planning a three-
