Chapter 83 Dismissing Employees Half an hour later, the client showed up at the company right on tand bumped into Leon, so they walked in together. When Leon heard the client was there to pick up samples, he decided to tag along to the design department.
Meanwhile, Tiffany had just wrapped up her drawing and handed the sample sketch to Grant. Grant checked out the revised sketch and finally let out a sigh of relief, feeling the tension melt away.
He quickly had someone bring Tiffany a cup of hot tea. "Miss Grey, thanks a ton for your help." Tiffany smiled, took the teacup, and sipped. "No problem. Just transfer the money to my account." "Will do." Grant, all smiles and laughs, was about to see Tiffany out when the design department door swung open. Leon walked in with the client, and everyone in the design department froze, scarcely daring to breathe. Among them, Grant looked over, feeling guilty, and quickly lowered his head.
Leon, spotting Tiffany, went from surprise to anger in a heartbeat. His face darkened as he glared at Grant, like he was silently asking why Tiffany was there.
"Tiffany, who said you could cto the company?" Leon asked coldly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTiffany didn't answer, just glanced at Grant, who quickly wiped the sweat off his brow in fear. "Mr. Cooper, I just invited Miss Grey to the design department for a visit." "Are you two close?" Leon asked, his voice icy.
Grant lowered his head even more. Was there a hint of jealousy in Leon's voice? Why did his question seem so off? Was it just his imagination? At that moment, a colleague from the design department handed the sample to the client. The client, seeing the corrected design, praised it and quickly settled the remaining payment.
Leon, however, stayed put in the design department, glaring at Grant and demanding, "Who said you could ask for her help?" Grant was shocked; he hadn't expected Leon to know. Was it that obvious? "Mr. Cooper, there was an issue with the drawing, and Miss Grey happened to be able to fix it, so..." Grant explained nervously, not daring to meet Leon's eyes. Even from a distance, he could feel Leon's anger.
The temperature around Leon seemed to drop suddenly, and the design department fell silent.
Tiffany didn't get why Leon was so mad. Hadn't she helped the company secure this deal smoothly? The sample wasn't cheap, and the client bought it outright. He should be happy.
But since it was Leon's company, Tiffany kept quiet.
In the silence, Leon coldly asked, "Who was responsible for that sample?" The young girl standing behind Tiffany, already teary-eyed, silently raised her hand and stepped forward. She seemed to have anticipated her fate. "Mr. Cooper, it was me." Leon stared at her coldly and nodded. "Very well, you can go to the finance department to collect your salary and leave." After saying this, Leon turned to leave.

Tiffany couldn't stand it and called out, "Leon! Do you have to be so ruthless? The sample was fixed, and the client is satisfied. What are you still angry about?" Tiffany couldn't understand why Leon was so angry; it seemed unreasonable.
Leon, hearing Tiffany's criticism, beceven more furious. "Tiffany, what right do you have to question my decisions? These people are employees hired by the company. If they make mistakes, I have the right to fire them! Should I tolerate them? What if it happens again, and again?" "Vertex Holdings Group doesn't need dead weight. If Grant hadn't called you, the client would've bailed on the order. Do you really think keeping this person around helps the company?" Leon shot back, leaving Tiffany at a loss for words.
Tiffany opened her mouth but held back. Leon was right; she had no right to interfere.
Before leaving the design department, Leon added, "Grant, your bonus for the next six months is gone too." Grant felt utterly hopeless. He could tell Leon was in a foul mood today. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fired an employee and slashed a bonus so impulsively. But... who on earth ticked off Leon? Tiffany didn't stick around for long. After finishing her task and getting paid, she left the company. As soon as she got in her car, she got a message from Leon: [Tiffany, don't show up in my sight again! Trying to pull the sstunt? Don't disgust me.] Even through text, she could easily imagine Leon's scornful tone. The memories of their contentious history flashed through her mind, and a surge of frustration rushed through her.
Without thinking twice, she shot back a reply: [Leon, sometimes being too self- righteous isn't a good thing.] Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe sent the reply and then tossed her phone aside, driving away, not wanting to see any more of Leon's messages she felt like he was a ticking tbomb, ready to blow at any moment. Was he still upset about what she had told him at the hospital last time? Tiffany didn't want to dwell on it. After all, he was engaged, and there was no future for her and Leon.
Days flew by, and soon it was the day of the engagement party. Tiffany woke up early and got a message from Bronte: [Tiffany, you won't dare to ctoday, will you?] Seeing Bronte's message, Tiffany wasn't surprised. In Bronte's mind, the engagement party had to be witnessed by Tiffany to feel like she had won.
Tiffany glanced at the invitation on the table and chuckled softly. Attending her ex-husband's engagement party was indeed unusual.
However, Tiffany had a reason for attending the engagement party: she wanted to see the kids! At the M engagement party, Leon would be busy entertaining guests and wouldn't notice her. With the three kids at the party, she could find a chance to take them away. Thinking of this, Tiffany took a deep breath, got up, washed, and changed into a simple outfit. After all, Bronte was the star of today's engagement party, and Tiffany had no intention of stealing the spotlight.
An hour later, Tiffany arrived outside the engagement party venue and immediately spotted Bronte in the center of the crowd, smiling happily. In a white gown, she stood out in the crowd, making it hard not to notice her.
Bronte also noticed Tiffany. After whispering to the people around her, she led them over, surrounding Tiffany and starting to criticize her.
"Bronte, is this the woman you said was clinging to Mr. Cooper? She looks pretty average," one of them sneered, curling her lip in disdain.
"Yeah," another chimed in, her voice dripping with scorn. "I've never seen someone so shameless Knowing! Mr. Cooper is engaged to Bronte, she still clings to him and even shows up at the engagement party. She's like chewing gum, impossible to get rid of." "In my opinion," a third added, her tone icy and dismissive, "Mr. Cooper wouldn't be interested in someone like her. It's her who likes to stick to him."
