She nervously grabbed Philip’s sleeve.
“Philip, why don’t you just give them the money?”
If anyone else had said that, Philip would have angrily rebuked them.
But it was Emily.
So, even though he wasn’t happy about it, he had to comfort her.
He suppressed his anger and made a decision.
“Fine, you can have the money, but I want all your cameras.”
If these reporters received the money, they would practically achieve financial freedom. The cameras were nothing to them, so they readily nodded.
Sandra went to the technical department.
After the incident with the “hacker,” the people in the technical department respected her.
Besides, she had no intention of managing the technical department and didn’t pose a threat to anyone. There was no workplace bullying either.
Her workload in the department was minimal because there were rarely any transactions.
The only exception was a recent technical forum that required her presence.
Her assistant, Charles Palmer, implied that she only needed to show up, and they would handle the rest.
She couldn’t miss such a good opportunity.
After signing a few documents, she overheard some gossip.
“Mr. Harrison is now in charge of the design department, but things aren’t going well.”
“It’s such a pity. Mr. Cooper used to be so talented, and now he’s groveling.”
“I heard Mr. Harrison was Mrs. Cooper’s brother’s mentor. I wonder if Mrs. Cooper can help.”
Sandra ignored them and continued typing on her keyboard.
But they didn’t stop.
“I heard that the design department prepared seven designs, and Mr. Harrison has reviewed all of them. Guess what?”
“Just say it.”
“Those designs are highly regarded in our company, but Mr. Harrison isn’t satisfied with any of them. He even said that our company has run out of ideas.”
“He’s so mean.”
While everyone was outraged, Sandra sent an email.
She glanced at her watch and smirked.
A hint of mockery appeared on her cold face.
Then she slowly stood up.
As the deputy director of the technical department, everyone assumed she had something to deal with and quickly fell silent.
But she didn’t say anything and walked out without a word.
Everyone was left confused.
“Did Mrs. Cooper go to the design department?”
“I think so.”
“Let’s go and see what happens.”
“I don’t want to miss it.”
“Let’s go.”
In the design department.
This department gathered almost all the talented people in Geniston.
However, all their designs had been rejected by Ben.
It was ridiculous.
When Sandra entered, Ben was in the middle of criticizing.
“Mr. Cooper, you were indeed very talented before.
“But now, you’ve lost your flair.
“No offense, but…”
Ben sighed.
“You’d better focus on designing and stop chasing fame and fortune.”
In other words, it would be better for Wesley to resign.
Joey clenched his fists. If the person next to him hadn’t held him back, he would have punched Ben in the face. Ben seemed oblivious to the danger.
He smiled helplessly, like an elder who cared about Wesley.
“Mr. Cooper, to be honest, I used to want you as my disciple, but…”
“Anyway, I don’t want to see you like this.”
Sandra chuckled when she heard this.
It was silent in the design department.
Her chuckle caught everyone’s attention.
She walked up to Wesley.
After a few days of baths, Wesley no longer needed a wheelchair.
But he still sat in one at the company, perhaps to lower Debra’s guard.
But those details didn’t matter.
Sandra rested her hands on the wheelchair as she looked at the seven designs on the table.
“Mr. Harrison, I have a question for you.” Ben frowned.
He didn’t know Sandra.
Philip whispered something to him, and then he looked at Sandra with displeasure.
He said flatly, “Go ahead.”
Sandra pointed to the first design and asked, “Is it because you don’t like this one? Do you think our country’s traditional culture doesn’t match your aesthetic?”
Ben was provoked by Sandra’s question.
His face turned livid in an instant.
If he hadn’t been stopped, he might have slapped Sandra directly.
Emily spoke up.
“Sandra, apologize to Mr. Harrison.”
Sandra sneered. “Why? Did I do something wrong?”
A hint of coldness flashed across Ben’s face, and he sounded furious.
“I couldn’t see any elements of traditional culture in these patterns.”
He seemed to think that, as someone “respected and revered,” he couldn’t reprimand the younger generation.
So, he regained his composure and continued in a serious tone.
“You may want to show off or gain fame, but you are still young, and there are many possibilities in the future. Don’t be too hasty for quick success.”
Laughter spread around them.
They were mocking Sandra for being vain.
“Mr. Harrison is a master painter. Does she think her knowledge is better than his?”
“I know she wants to make a name for herself in the Cooper Group, but she should do it the right way.”
“It makes me sick.”
“What she said was a bit disrespectful to Mr. Harrison.”
While everyone was in a heated discussion, someone let the reporters in.
The reporters started taking pictures, aiming their cameras at Sandra.
Emily, with teary eyes, looked at the reporters.
“Don’t make up stories. Sandra didn’t mean it.”
With that, she started crying without explaining anything.
The reporters asked her questions, and she cried out loud.
It seemed like she was caught in a difficult situation.
The reporters wanted to know the specifics, so they asked people around.
Soon, cameras and microphones were aimed at Sandra.
“Mrs. Cooper, what evidence do you have?”
“Yeah, you can’t make baseless accusations against Mr. Harrison.”
“If that’s the case, Mr. Harrison can sue you. Do you want to spend the rest of your life in prison?”
The words became harsher.
Sandra glanced at the crowd.
Finally, her gaze fell on Emily.
