Shannon staggered, her face pale, unable to believe what she had just heard.
Kieran wanted to force her out?
She had worked so hard to stand by his side all these years. She devoted herself to the Morgan Group, neglecting her family business.
Ultimately, he was willing to kick her out for a worthless woman.
Cole, seeing her ashen face, tried to offer some comfort. "Ms. Bolton, even without the Lane Group project, it won't affect your other work."
She turned her head, clenching her teeth tightly. "Fine, I'll hand over the Lane Group project to Casey."
Shannon's face looked grim, and she felt suffocated by injustice.
Kieran, keeping his head down, didn't even glance at her. "You can leave now."
Shannon was in deep frustration but didn't dare utter another word in front of him.
She turned and left, her presence cold and intimidating. Seeing her in such a state, the employees outside instinctively stepped aside, afraid to cross her path.
Once back in her office, Shannon angrily swept the documents off her desk, scattering them on the floor.
Kieran didn't even like Lila. Was it really worth treating her this way for that woman?
And for such a trivial matter.
But according to Kieran's personality, if he only made things difficult for Shannon without touching the Bolton family, did that mean that Lila wasn't actually that important to him?
After Shannon left, Cole couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Morgan, why remove the project from Ms. Bolton's hands? Wouldn't it be more effective to directly deal with the Bolton family?"
Kieran raised his eyes, his gaze deep and distant. "Lila needs to travel frequently for work. I'm afraid she might encounter danger."
Cole was briefly taken aback, then understood his meaning.
Shannon could be a bit extreme. Today's action was both a punishment and a reminder, but it wasn't enough to make her lose her composure and do something reckless.
However, if Kieran had confronted the Bolton family directly, Shannon might have felt he could no longer tolerate them, pushing her to take extreme actions against Lila in revenge.
