Chapter 2010 Holding Accountable,
Elisa didn’t want to beat around the bush, so she spoke frankly and clearly.
“I’m afraid our collaboration with your company ends here. As for accountability, we will pursue it to the end.” Elisa tapped on the table, a subconscious gesture she made when deep in thought.
These two blows seemed as if they had struck right at the heart of Terence. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Watching Elisa’s aggressive demeanor, Terence felt his dignity was being trampled on. He slammed the table and pointed at Elisa, saying. “Don’t go too far! Brian and I are your seniors. We won’t tolerate such accusations! So what if we made some mistakes? Besides, nothing serious has happened yet! Moreover, when Brian returned, he was almost kicked to the point of being incapacitated by you all. What more do you want?”
Elisa couldn’t help but laugh. She hadn’t even said anything yet, and the one who made the mistake was pointing fingers and blaming her. What kind of logic is that? From the sound of it, are they trying to shift the blame onto me? Are they expecting me to pay the medical bills, too?
Elisa didn’t get angry. She slowly stood up and knocked off the hand that Terence was pointing at her. “Mr. Matthams, please don’t point at me. It’s not about who shouts the loudest, but who has the evidence, right? I’ve already laid out my evidence before you. If you have nothing to say, then let’s take this to court. I’m not afraid. I wonder if you are.”
“You” Terence was so infuriated that he was almost speechless, feeling as if his heart condition was about
to act up.
Before Terence could finish, Rachel continued, “Furthermore, Mr. Matthams, it’s clear as day from the video that Brian was plotting against our deputy CEO. We even have a confession from his accomplice. Even if he was kicked hard enough to break something, it would only be considered self-defense. Do you think we would be afraid?”.
Upon hearing that, Terence glared at Elisa. In response, Elisa shrugged, spread her arms, and wore a face of unabashed mischief.
Ironically, Terence just couldn’t handle her.
The intensity of his breaths increased, and in the end, he had to force himself to calm down, to sit and talk slowly.
The scene became somewhat unpleasant for a moment, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.
And so they stared at each other for about five minutes until finally. Terence gave in and asked, “What do
you want?”
Elisa started smiling. “Well, we want you to fire Brian.”
“Impossible!” Without a second thought, Terence rejected the idea. Brian and he had been through life- and-death situations in the military. He couldn’t fire Brian.
Everyone who came out of the military shared a common trait. They were straightforward and would unconditionally believe and support their comrades.
This was the case for Terence.
Elisa shrugged indifferently, then stood up. “If that’s the case, we have nothing more to discuss. I’ll see you

in court.”
It seemed as if Terence wanted to say something to make amends, but Elisa, accompanied by Rachel, left directly without giving him a chance to respond.
As Rachel was about to step out the door, she didn’t forget to turn around and wave at Terence. With at beaming smile, she said, “Mr. Matthams, see you in court.”
That look she gave was begging for a beating.
Once the two had left, Terence completely trashed the conference room.
Naturally, the commotion reached Elisa’s cars, but she didn’t pay it much attention. If you don’t properly control your subordinates, you can’t expect to get away with deception just by pulling rank or throwing your weight around after something happens. Over the years, countless young girls must have fallen for this trick.
