“Please rest assured. I will take full responsibility for this project to the end and make sure that everything goes according to plan.”
After exchanging goodbyes, Lydia sat back on her chair and called for someone from the HR and finance departments.
Dalary and her cohorts were just about to sneak out of the room when Lydia stopped them.
“Where do you think you’re going? Someone will be here soon. You’ll have to turn over your work and process your termination. We don’t need people like you in our company.”
“What right do you have to fire us?!” Dalary exploded.
She turned on her heel to face Lydia and glowered at the latter.
“Even if you want to get rid of us, you still need the approval of your father and brother—”
“Since the contract has been successfully established, I now have the final say in your department.”
Their faces immediately changed as they processed Lydia’s words. The next thing they knew, one of the employees backpedaled and pleaded with Lydia.
“Please, Miss Phillips! We were just following orders! Please don’t fire us!”
“Yes, yes, that’s right! We didn’t have a choice!”
Lydia raised an eyebrow at them, her expression cold.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t allow cliques in this company. We have no room for such childish behavior.”
Dalary gnashed her teeth together.
“Is that so? Well, in that case, we demand proper compensation!”
“You won’t get it. I’m already showing you mercy by not asking for compensation after you destroyed confidential company information. You would do well not to push your luck.” Lydia leaned forward in her seat.
“I am giving you the chance to leave peacefully. But if you cross the line, I won’t hold back, either.”
But Dalary was certain that she had done everything perfectly. She didn’t think Lydia could prove that she was the one who had destroyed the information. Besides, the monitoring device in the office had been destroyed beforehand that day.
And so, Dalary put her hands on her waist and screeched like a shrew.
“Don’t even think about threatening us! We didn’t do anything wrong!
If the Phillips Group doesn’t give us the compensation we deserve, we will go to the media and expose your deplorable policies! Let’s see which of us gets the worst of it!”
At that point, Henry joined in by banging his fist against the table.

“Don’t think too highly of yourself just because you managed to secure one project! If you do anything to tarnish the company’s image, I’ll tell Dad right away!”
“Are you capable of anything else other than running off to Dad and telling on other people?” Lydia taunted him.
“It’s no wonder your schemes always fall through in the end.”
While they were arguing, the employees that Lydia had called for arrived and entered the conference room.
Not wanting to waste any more time, Lydia directly addressed them as soon as they stepped inside.
“Dismiss them all.”
“Miss Phillips!” Dalary cried out angrily.
“If this is what you want, then we’re going to the media!” She ripped off her badge and threw it on the table.
“I can’t wait to see your inevitable downfall!”
