Gilbert's expression instantly changed as he asked, "Why am I suddenly fired?"
His cousin, Diego, on the other end, shouted back, "Of all the people to piss off, you had to offend the CEO herself? Do whatever you want from now on, but don't drag me into it!"
"Diego…"
"Listen, Gilbert, at best, your dad is just a distant relative of mine. From now on, don't call me again!"
Gilbert tried to say more, but Diego had already hung up.
He immediately turned to look at Sheena, who was stroking Adora's head with a radiant and confident smile.
His face turned white with fear as he stuttered, "Y-You are..."
"That's right, this is my daughter, Adora Lawson. The boy who got splashed is my son, and he takes his dad's last name, Jenkins."
Everyone's faces fell instantly.
Clara tried to maintain her composure, but it was impossible to stay proud.
After all, her son had been fired by the Lawson Group, and standing before them was the CEO herself, the wealthiest woman in Froania, who also had the strongest connections.
Oh my God!
They had offended a true powerhouse!
"Alright, apologize to Asher or your whole family will get splashed with two buckets of hot water. Your choice," Elliot stated bluntly.
Even if they had never seen the head of the National Investigation Bureau, they knew his reputation for always keeping his word.
If he said two buckets, he would not settle for one and a half.
The Charlton family members all turned as white as a sheet, embarrassed as they recalled how arrogant they were just now.
Clara, always quick to read the room, immediately grabbed Bryce.
She yanked his arm and sternly urged, "Go apologize to Asher right now."
Bryce was used to being spoiled and having others apologize to him. He had never experienced anything like this and was upset with his grandmother's sudden attitude.
He stubbornly refused to apologize, holding his head high.
Clara became anxious, fearing that the whole family would suffer because of Bryce.
In the end, she gave Bryce a firm push and a scolding.
"Didn't you hear me? I told you to apologize!"

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
