Chapter 1908

“Enough!” Wenham then shouted with a stern expression,” Rules are not meant to be blindly followed.

When we went abroad previously, you were robbed in a supermarket parking lot. If Sonia hadn’t seen it and shouted for help, you wouldn’t even be here now.

“Now that her father has passed away, the least we can do is offer her an internship in Caline. Yet, you’re bringing up the rules. If you want to follow the rules so much, you wouldn’t even be qualified for an interview!”

Jaylene’s face turned pale. After Wenham married Darcie, he had been doting on her ever since. He had never uttered such harsh words toward her.

‘If I’m not qualified, then what about Stella?’ Jaylene said inwardly.

Keegan, who initiated this conversation, spoke flatly, “Uncle Wenham, calm down. Jaylene is just worried that history will repeat itself.”

Stella lifted her brows, as she was impressed by how good Keegan was at flattering Jaylene.

As expected, as soon as Keegan spoke, Jaylene’s eyes turned red. She then looked at him with a pitiful expression.

“Tsk.” Stella clicked her tongue quietly.

After contemplating for a while, Stella felt that she should speak up to oppose what Keegan said to make his act more convincing.

So, she placed the cup harshly on the table and said, “Mr. Kane, if I remember correctly, your company also had an intern who caused you some problems before, right? But, that didn’t stop your company from hiring interns at all. So, what’s the reason for you advising us to do the opposite?”

Keegan’s eyelid twitched. “Of course, I’m in no place to make any decisions for Caline. I just think that Jaylene has her reasons and concerns. After all, if the captain’s daughter were to cause any trouble, who would bear the responsibility?”

“Me,” Stella said, as she looked at Darcie. “Darcie, if you’re worried about the past repeating itself, I’ll make this promise to you. If Sonia really did anything that harmed Caline’s interests, I’ll voluntarily step down from my position. Is that okay with you?”

Trevor had told her about Sonia earlier.

Caline’s recruitment had always been handled by the people around Darcie. It was safe to say that other than a few old- timers who started the business with Freesia, almost everyone else in the company was under Darcie’s control.

Caline’s laboratory, where all the formulas were stored, was a crucial department that determined the quality of the company’s products. Even though Jaylene had asthma, Darcie made sure that she could work there because she wanted Jaylene to inherit the business.

Although Stella held a considerable number of shares in Caline, Darcie still had significant influence within the company.

She had to do something and place someone she could trust in the lab to disrupt the balance.

Originally, Trevor wanted to wait until Sonia graduated before proceeding with the plan. However, with the sudden demise of the captain, Stella decided to seize the opportunity after Keegan mentioned it.

Darcie could have been generous and agreed to the suggestion, but she was doubtful.

Although Trevor had said that the plane crash was an accident, she still would not let her guard down.

She just could not place someone uncontrollable in such an important department.

After all, the actual power of Caline’s operation still rested with Darcie. Although Wenham had agreed to hire Sonia, he was only a shareholder who would not actively get involved in Caline’s affairs.

If Darcie disagreed, it would be impossible for Sonia to work in Caline.
