Kallie took Sophie with her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen the appointed tarrived, Kallie intentionally made the other party wait an extra ten minutes before she opened the door, stepping in with Sophie by her side. The moment Kallie touched the doorknob, a voice filled with discontent spilled out from inside.
"What do you mean? You think you can intimidate me? If that's your approach, then forget it, I'm done talking. I'm out of here!" A chair screeched across the floor.
As Kallie swung the door open, she nearly bumped into Jenny exiting the room.
They paused, surprised.
Realizing the situation, Jenny huffed, "A coincidence indeed!" "Hello, Ms. Patterson," Kallie greeted her, a polite smile on her face. "What a small world! You slandered my daughter at the beach, and here you are, targeting my company." Jenny's expression turned icy. "Targeting? What your company has done is reprehensible! Your staff has been caught plagiarizing and trying to hush it up with money. Think I'll just let it slide and drop the charges? Not a chance!" Kallie shook her head firmly. "I'm not here to bribe you. Whether you drop the complaint or not has nothing to do with me." Jenny was momentarily at a loss for words. She glanced at the director of the Turner Group and gave a sarcastic smile. “So, she is the new president, huh? Not exactly impressive, is she? More of a fool than her predecessors. You've really offended me; I won't let this slide." The director, visibly uneasy, approached Kallie and whispered, "Miss, this woman is no ordinary person. She's a philanthropist with a solid reputation in Halstead. It would be wise to soothe her. While you may not be able to resolve this matter, provoking her further is not advisable." Kallie noted the blatant hostility in Jenny's gaze and scoffed, "If you give in once, you'll find yourself retreating endlessly. It will only embolden her and make her more demanding. Do you think if I apologize now, she'll let it go? As soon as I heard the backstory, I knew it wasn't simple. There's more to her than meets the eye." The director exhaled deeply, resigned to align with Kallie's approach. The higher-ups had made their expectations clear to him long ago. If Kallie failed to resolve the issue this time, the company would inevitably close.
The director remained silent, merely observing from the sidelines. Kallie, hand in hand with Sophie, entered and seated themselves.

Fuming, Jenny pulled out her phone and initiated a live stream. Thanks to her facade as a golden-hearted m woman and the coverage of her past as an exemplary student, she had amassed a significant following. Within moments of going live, thousands tuned in.
Jenny's demeanor shifted instantly. Her eyes welled up, portraying am picture of distress "Hello, everyone. Today, that scompany approachedagain.
