Chapter 459
Jasper was clearly humiliating her in front of everyone.
Sure enough, disdain and contempt clouded everyone’s gazes when they looked at her.
“You can’t simply give this order just because you’re the CEO! The president should be the
one making
this decision. How could you abuse your power?”
Having no other alternative but this, Sophia decided to use that to attack Jasper.
But Jasper merely smirked. “So you mean to say that the president will let Betty off the
hook for all her
hazardous actions?
“Even if she has stolen another business’ confidential information, cheated and lied to a
client,
intentionally created a counterfeit of an internationally renowned piece of insured jewelry,
and caused
our stocks to plummet-all because she’s the president’s daughter?”
His words struck Sophia like hidden blades.

“There is no such thing as fairness when it comes to the business world. The fairness we
see is but an
elaborate mask hiding all the parasites underneath.”
Jasper narrowed his eyes and continued, “As long as I’m CEO of the company, I will never
let those parasites see daylight, no matter how much they try.”
Not a single word from him had mentioned Sophia. Yet it was undoubtedly a harsh
whipping on Sophia’s
person and pride.
The atmosphere was heavy and silent for several seconds before the members slowly
clapped their hands together, creating a thunderous round of applause.
Post-meeting, Sophia’s hysterical fit had spread throughout the company like wildfire.
Everyone gathered
to laugh and make fun of her in their spare time.
What kind of etiquette was this, barging into an important meeting?
Who in their sane mind would do something like that?
The action plan was also emailed to everyone.
“Finally! I knew those prayers worked!” an employee cried in relief after reading about
Betty’s dismissal.
“What prayers? You should be thanking Mr. Jasper! I’m going to pray to him from now on
instead!”
“Does this count as denouncing her from their family?”
“Bah! Of course, it does! It’s not like they’re from the same mother!”
“Hahaha! Good riddance to Betty Beckett!”
It wasn’t a promotion or a raise, but the news brought tremendous joy to many staff.
Xavier was buzzing with glee in Jasper’s office. “Seeing that old witch losing her
composure was such a
hit, sir! Didn’t even need an actual hit to feel so good!”
Jasper shot him a look. “Do you often get a hit? Are you that stressed?”
“Uh, no, of course not!” Xavier shook his head frantically. “It’s just a metaphor, Mr.
Jasper!”
Jasper sat down in his lounge. “Has the investigation commenced?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“My sources say Madam’s mutt of a secretary has handed all their available evidence to
the Investigation
Bureau. They’ve also issued a travel ban for Betty. There’s no escape for her now!” Xavier
exclaimed
happily.
Jasper hummed in acknowledgment.
Alyssa was the one who served this justice unto Betty and Sophia. He only helped here
and there
wherever he could.
“By the way, sir, I’ve asked what happened the other night at the hospital. Madam had a
gastritis attack
and had to stay past midnight at the hospital.”
Jasper pursed his lips, worry clouding his heart.
“So… Do you want to use this as an excuse to see her, sir? I can get some antacids you
can bring to her?”
“Do I need an excuse just to see her?” Jasper scowled.
“Uh, no. No, of course not …”
*Plus, why would I go see her in the first place?”
