Chapter 500 Who’s Going to Fire Her?

Caroline removed her sunglasses and glared at Neil. I’m doing this so I don’t cause trouble for you, you

know.”

“Ah? Why do you say that? Neil asked, smiling.

Caroline continued. “You’re going to hold a press conference, right? It will affect you if we don’t align in

our statements, won’t it?”

Neil gently touched Caroline’s still–swollen cheek, his eyes filled with sympathy. “Don’t worry about me.

I

will stick to the facts when I explain everything

Caroline asked, “Aren’t you concerned that your grandfather will blame you?”

“I’ll stand by what I’ve said. Everyone must take responsibility for their actions.” Nell pulled back his

arm,

and his expression gradually turned cold..

Caroline was about to speak when Nell’s phone rang.

He glanced at Caroline when he noticed Grayson was calling. “Speak of the devil.”

Caroline leaned against the chair. “Answer the call.”

Neil nodded and accepted it.

“Nell, have you checked the Internet? You should know what to say in the press conference this

afternoon, right?” Grayson’s stern voice came through the phone.

Neil replied nonchalantly, “I know what to say.”

Grayson sensed something was amiss in Neil’s tone. “How do you plan to explain it?”

“The surveillance footage is clear. If we lie, it will only worsen our company’s situation,” Neil stated.

Grayson’s anger grew. “There is no sound in the footage. How can you be sure of the truth?”

“What do you believe is the truth, Grandpa?” Neil responded.

Grayson argued, “That woman spoke harshly to Danielial What’s wrong with teaching her a lesson?”

“I feel that Daniella was intimidating despite being in the wrong. Grandpa, there should be limits to

protecting someone.”

“Do you understand the consequences of telling the truth to those journalists?”

“Yes, but one must admit wrongdoing when it occurs.”

“If you do that, believe me, I’ll remove you from your position! You don’t get to decide for the Xander

Group yet!”

“Do as you wish.”

Neil hung up and looked at Caroline. “I’ll help you get justice in this matter, Carol.”

Carol handed her phone to Neil. “There’s a voice recording of the incident.”

Neil was stunned before he chuckled and said, “So, you’ve had a hidden agenda all along. No wonder

your

attitude toward this incident is lukewarm.”

Caroline smirked. “One can only silence Daniella with real evidence.”

Meanwhile, Alex and MK’s employees were in a project meeting they had partnered on.

After the meeting concluded, Alex took the printed meeting minutes prepared by the secretary as he

prepared to meet Evan at the hospital.

He entered the elevator, and it opened partially during its descent.

A sarcastic female voice could be heard.

“Hey, Paige. Don’t bother coming to work if you don’t have the right attitude. Why hold the position of

head of the fashion design department if you’re not going to do anything?”

“Do you have any complaints about being the deputy head? Paige retorted.

Laila Crum replied, “It’s still better than you dozing off at work every day. You’re lucky Mr. Jordan isn’t

here, or he would definitely fire you.”

Alex frowned and stepped out into the elevator lobby after overhearing the conversation. He was

infuriated when he saw a woman berating Paige arrogantly.

“Why are you scolding her? And who’s going to fire her?” Alex asked Laila.

When Paige heard his voice, she turned to look at him, her expression turning unpleasant upon seeing

him.

Laila’s expression changed when she saw Alex. Soon after, she smiled and said, “Mr. Price…”

Alex looked at her sharply. ‘Instead of complaining here, you should sketch some designs to fill your

empty brain.”
