Pierce’s frown deepened. He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then looked at me.[]

“Serena, since you’re no longer a Blake employee, this matter ends here. The hundred million compensation will be transferred to your account within three days.”
“Now, please leave.”
I stood still, sneering coldly.]

“Pierce, how generous of you. For a lowly assistant, you’re willing to throw away a hundred million.“[]
“But let’s forget about the board for now. Are you sure your father would agree to this?”
“Would your grandfather agree?”

Leah’s expression changed again. She tugged at Pierce’s sleeve, urgently whispering: “Pierce, don’t listen to her nonsense.“]]
I smiled.
“I’m not talking nonsense. How about I help you make a call to ask?“]
When I started dialing, Leah panicked.[]
She snatched my phone and stomped it to pieces.[]
Then Leah arrogantly declared that since Pierce had agreed to compensation, the phone was now hers, and I had no say in the matter.[]
Pierce also coldly warned me: “Serena, I don’t care what relationship you have with President Kyle and Mr. Gavin, but this is Blake Group, and I’m in charge.”
“Now, please leave!”
I sat calmly in my chair, fingers lightly tapping the table surface, my gaze peacefully sweeping over Leah’s face, twisted with anger.]]
“I can leave,” I said slowly, “on the condition that Mr. Blake Sr. personally comes to invite me.”
“0
Leah was first stunned, then burst into piercing laughter, as if she’d heard the world’s funniest joke.
She pointed at me, laughing so hard she almost lost her balance.[]
“Ha! What are you? You think Mr. Blake Sr. would personally come to invite you?“]
“Serena, are you crazy?”
Pierce’s face also turned completely cold. He stepped forward, his voice carrying undeniable authority.[]
*Serena, I’m warning you one last time. This is Blake Group, not a place for you to throw tantrums,”
“Now, leave immediately!”
The executives in the conference room all chimed in, some even picking up phones to call security.
1 still sat without moving, just slightly raising an eyebrow, my gaze moving past Pierce to the floor–to–ceiling windows behind him.
Outside, a black limousine slowly stopped at the building entrance. The car door opened, and a white haired elderly man stepped out with a cane.]
Supporting him was a serious–looking middle–aged man
I chuckled softly. “Looks like I don’t need to make that call.“{}

Pierce followed my gaze and turned around, his face instantly changing: “Dad, Grandpa?!“]]
When Leah saw Mr. Blake Sr. slowly approaching the conference room, her laughter instantly disappeared.[]
Her legs became weak, and she almost collapsed to the floor.]
The conference room door was pushed open, and Mr. Blake Sr. entered with his cane, taking firm steps.
His movements were hurried, his expression anxious.]
His gaze swept over the chaotic conference room and finally settled on me.[]
“Miss Stone, I apologize for being late.“]
The words “Miss Stone” plunged the entire conference room into eerie silence again.
Pierce stood there, stunned, staring at me.]
Then he looked at Mr. Blake Sr.
“Grandpa, you… what did you call her?“]
Mr. Blake Sr. didn’t answer him but walked to me and bowed his head slightly.
“Miss Stone, the Blake family failed to handle matters properly. I apologize for the suffering you’ve experienced.”
Leah’s face turned completely pale. She trembled as she stepped back, her voice almost squeezed through her teeth: “Mr. Blake Sr., you mistaken. She… she’s just an insignificant…“]]

“Shut up!”
Mr. Blake Sr. suddenly turned around, his cane striking the floor heavily.
“Leah, who do you think you are? How dare you disrespect Miss Stone?!”
