Chapter 1829 The Black Sheep
"I get what you mean now!" Bella's face lit up like a radiant sunrise, and her cheeks flushed with excitement. Her
genuine smile reflected the newfound enthusiasm that had ignited within her.
With determination in her voice, she declared, "In three months, I will establish a firm footing in this position and
prove to you and the board of directors that your choice was right."
After her bold statement, Bella gracefully rose from her chair and bowed to Elisa, expressing her gratitude and
respect.
Elisa watched Bella's departure with a satisfied smile, reaffirming her confidence in the young woman's capabilities.
While the atmosphere around the office was filled with the excitement of Bella's promotion, there was one person
whose mood was tainted by bitterness and defeat.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRochelle returned to her office, feeling humiliated and defeated as she began to pack her belongings. She would
choose not to pack her things if she could turn back time. The humiliation she had endured was immeasurable.
The leaking of the meeting's contents had left Rochelle suspicious, wondering if Elisa might have orchestrated it.
Still, she couldn't deny the reality before her. All her belongings were carelessly tossed into a shabby cardboard
box, placed right outside the office door as if they were eager to see her gone.
But that wasn't the end of her ordeal.
As Rochelle walked out with the box, her colleagues couldn't hide their contempt, and their disdainful glances
pierced her already wounded spirit. To add to her misery, someone purposely bumped into her, causing scalding
hot coffee to spill all over her body. The searing liquid left her skin red and irritated, tarnishing the carefully
prepared appearance she had maintained in the past. Once a prominent figure in the company, she quickly
became the black sheep, the outcast of the workplace.
Rochelle had never experienced such treatment before. Her body trembled with barely suppressed rage, on the
verge of exploding.
However, Bella, now in her newly appointed managerial position, quickly intervened to end the escalating conflict.
As Bella emerged from Elisa's office and witnessed the scene, she paused momentarily, her sharp mind working to
grasp the unfolding situation.
Despite her humiliation, Rochelle seemed to have regained some courage, tilting her head defiantly as she lashed
out, "These people are just opportunists. They treat me like this now and might treat you the same way in the
future. I haven't even officially resigned, and they are already so eager. Bella, can't you control your subordinates
and have them behave?"
Despite her downfall, Rochelle's insolent demeanor remained unchanged.
The young employee who had spilled the coffee realized she had gone too far. Nervously, she looked at Bella with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtears welling in her eyes, struggling to find the right words to explain herself. Afraid of being misunderstood by
Bella, she was on the verge of tears.
The office fell into silence, with everyone waiting for Bella's reaction.
Suddenly, amidst the tense atmosphere, Bella burst into laughter.
Rochelle's eyebrows twisted, demanding to know what was so amusing.
Others looked at Bella with bewilderment, unsure of her reaction.
Bella folded her arms and turned to face Rochelle, and her voice tinged with contempt and mockery. "I thought you
would become wiser after this incident. But you're still as foolish and stubborn as ever."
Rochelle couldn't believe what she heard. "What did you say?!"
Her face contorted with rage, twisting her beautiful features into a ghastly sight.
Without hesitation, Bella responded, "First of all, you have been fired. When Ms. Benett spoke, you were no longer
the company's director. Stop using your former position to bully others."
Rochelle wanted to retort, but Bella ruthlessly cut her off. The situation had taken an unexpected turn, and
Rochelle's arrogance crumbled in the face of Bella's newfound strength and determination.
