Chapter 210
""It doesn't matter, as long as she's happy. Oh, and make sure Olivia Brooks gets a 'warm welcome' in jail.""
A flicker of coldness passed through Joseph's eyes. It was time for Cassie's suffering in prison to be avenged.
———
The next day, news of the Peace Group's CEO's affair spread across the internet.
Jonathan was furious, his reputation in tatters.
His affair, caught on camera in a public display of affection and even a video of him hitting his wife had gone viral, sparking tens of thousands of hateful comments online.
In the chairman's office, Jonathan barged in, livid, pointing his finger at Cassie, ""Did you do this? Did you leak the video from the conference room?""
""I don't know what you're talking about."" Cassie sat calmly, disappointment etched on her face. ""Mr. Jonathan, I'm appalled. You've really let us down, tarnishing the company's reputation.""
""How dare you—you... You think I don't know it's you behind this? You think I'm that easy to mess with?""
Jonathan stepped forward, about to kick her when Joe rushed over, pinning him to the desk.
""Get off me, you scum!"" shrieked Jonathan, out of control.
Cassie called security through the intercom: 'Please remove him. Mr. Cao is clearly in a bad mood. It seems Charles will be handling company affairs for the time being.
""Cassie, you wait—I won't let you oust me. You're dreaming!""
Charles arrived, visibly shaken, just after Jonathan was dragged away. Confronted again by Cassie's presence, he was suddenly gripped by fear. The executives had not taken her seriously, but in just one day, Jonathan's reputation had nosedived.
Despite the lack of hard evidence, it was clear to everyone that such events could not have transpired without Cassie's involvement.
""Charles, you're a capable man, but always being suppressed by Mr. Jonathan must be uncomfortable, right?""
Cassie stood up and made him a cup of tea herself.
Charles was startled as he hastily took it. ""But Mr. Jonathan has been in charge for over a decade. Many people in the company obey him, and several board members are quite fond of him.""
Cassie cut to the chase, ""You have one week. Either you soar to new heights or you spend a lifetime in Jonathan's shadow, slaving away.""
Charles's heart wavered with uncertainty.
Suddenly, Locco burst in, 'Chairman, Mr. Jonathan has just been attacked by a group of angry women outside our office building! They detest cheating men and they broke his legs and his head is bleeding. He's been rushed to the hospital.""
At this, Charles looked up sharply, his legs trembling at Cassie's expressionless face.
""I'm in,"" he said loudly. ""I know Jonathan well. I can take control of the company in a week. I'm with the Chairman.""
""Good, I trust you can make sure Jonathan is finished at the company,"" Cassie said with an icy resolve that seemed to flow through her.
oe observed her, noting Cassie's increasingly commanding aura, reminiscent of Joseph's at work.
After Charles left, Cassie collapsed onto the couch, exhausted, her lips pale. ""I was the one who arranged for Jonathan to be hit, Joe. Am I terrible?""
""No,"" Joe replied calmly. ""If you weren't tough, how would you control the wolves below?""
""Exactly. I need to take complete control of Peace Group and avenge my grandmother,"" Cassie said, clenching her fists, remembering her mother's revenge too.
The weight on her shoulders was immense; there was no room for kindness anymore."
