With a stormy expression, Baxter suddenly raised his hand and slapped Arya forcefully.
âArya, what possessed you to do such a thing?â
Arya stumbled and fell.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she touched her reddened, swollen cheek.
âI⦠was just so anxious at the time.
I feared Dayana would become too fond of Rosalynn and weâd lose the contract.

She knew that as long as Baxter pinned the blame on her, they still had a chance to secure the contract.
As angry she was, she could only bear it.
âWhy must you be so stupid? Iâve told you to conduct yourself properly in business and not to resort to tricks.
How could you disregard my instructions?â
Feigning sorrow, Baxter looked at Chaz and his wife.
âIâm at fault for not disciplining my assistant properly.
Rest assured, I will punish her severely.

Chaz and his wife exchanged glances, their expressions displeased.

âSave it.
Youâve disappointed us.
Weâve decided to award the contract to Hughes Group.
Now, please take your assistant and leave immediately.

Chaz demanded their departure.
How could he put all the blame on the assistant?
Without his orders, would she dare to do these things?
While everything else could be forgiven, the last transgression was unforgivable.
Had they succeeded last night, Chazâs relationship with his wife would have been irreparably damaged.
His wife was his treasure.
No one could harm her!
âPlease, let me explain!â Baxter pleaded hurriedly.
âThereâs nothing left to explain.
Butler, escort our guests out,â Chaz said icily.
