Chapter 532
Marguerite couldn’t help but remember a conversation with Miley, who had confided that her current position at the company was actually saved by Penelope for her own daughter.
Now that the Fitzgeralds had officially welcomed their long-lost daughter into the fold, it seemed only right that this job should go to Yuna, both morally and legally.
Marguerite, lacking in ambition and with no desire to clash with Yuna, turned to find a cardboard box to pack her things and leave.
But glancing around the room, she realized that there was nothing of hers left to pack.
Calmly, Marguerite faced Yuna and asked, “Where are my things?”
Yuna’s voice was loud and shrill as she retorted, “Your things? Get a grip, Marguerite. This position was always meant for me. You were merely keeping the seat warm. What, you got too cozy in it? Looking for your stuff in my territory is like questioning my authority. Do you get that?”
Marguerite sighed inwardly, guessing that Yuna had likely disposed of her belongings already.
She intended to walk away, but stopping in her tracks, she noticed a crowd of employees at the door, all eager to witness some office drama. Their faces mirrored Yuna’s smug expression, seemingly waiting for Marguerite to make an embarrassed exit.
Why should she give these gossips the satisfaction?
Standing tall, she reminded herself that she had done nothing wrong. It was Penelope who had brought her into the company, and if anyone should be telling her to leave, it should be Penelope herself.
Marguerite fixed her stance and her gaze was composed and determined. The innate poise she carried made her seem unassailable.
“Is it Penelope who wants me gone, or are you just taking matters into your own hands?”
At this, Yuna was visibly shaken. While she had managed to win over Hackett’s affection entirely, dealing with Penelope was a different matter. She could feel Penelope trying to make amends with her, and so the previous night, she’d brazenly suggested that Marguerite should be let go.copy right hot novel pub
