Maurice was now becoming increasingly arrogant. During the management meeting, he insisted on interrupting.

He was upset but forced himself to suppress his anger.

Meanwhile, Gerry questioned, “Ms. Lopez, what happened? We didn’t hold a meeting to discuss this, so why are we

rejecting the contract now?”

All the other members of management were puzzled.

Horace too inquired with a smile, “Ms. Lopez, may I know what the problem is? Weren’t we clearly on the same

page yesterday? Why are you going back on your word today?”

Just then, Maurice couldn’t help but interrupt, “That’s right. Ms. Lopez, your decision shows that you are

untrustworthy. You can’t let your personal agenda affect how you run the company. As actors, credibility is

important to us too. Even if you are the boss, you can’t diss us like that!”

“Know your place!” Zoey bellowed suddenly, shocking everyone present.

“The company management is having a meeting. Since when do you have the right to speak? You are becoming

increasingly presumptuous!” Zoey snarled as she couldn’t tolerate Maurice’s behavior anymore.

Meanwhile, Levi was secretly gloating.

Despite his wife’s gentle demeanor, she would snap back when cornered.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Lopez.” Maurice apologized and hung his head in silence.

He was utterly embarrassed after being admonished by Zoey in front of everyone.

As it was the most humiliating moment of his life, all he felt was anger.

Clenching both his fists tightly, he promised himself, “Zoey and Levi, just you wait. I’ll have my revenge!”

Zoey explained to Horace, “Mr. Waller, I did some research last night and realized that your company is not being

honest. The charity gala you are organizing is a sham!”

Hearing that, Horace’s expression darkened.

Does Zoey know the truth?

“Therefore, I won’t participate in an event that goes against my conscience. I also won’t allow my employees to do

the same too. Hence, I won’t sign the contract because I’m worried such a despicable matter would negatively

impact Oriental’s reputation!” Zoey scoffed.

Horace sniggered, “Very well, it’s just a bunch of celebrities. It’s a joke that you think I can’t find them elsewhere.

Next time, don’t expect to ever work with the Triple Group again!”

Fuming, Horace prepared to leave.

“I would like to give your company some advice. If you keep taking advantage of other people, karma will come for

you! Especially when it involves a hundred billion. Do you know how many people that hard-earned money belongs

to?” Zoey warned.

“You…”

Further infuriated, Horace slammed the door as he left.

Meanwhile, there was silence in the meeting room.

Everyone looked at Zoey with a puzzled expression.

“Alright, all those who are the management, please stay back. The rest, you are dismissed.” Zoey instructed.

She wanted to explain to the rest of the management the reason she didn’t sign the contract.

Since it involved the secrets of the Triple Group, she didn’t want too many people to know as it might put their lives

in danger.

Maurice then left with dissatisfaction written all over his face.

Once outside, Helena asked in a low voice, “What do you think the reason was for Ms. Lopez to reject the

contract?”

“I’m sure she has her reasons. I think it’s a good idea we didn’t sign it,” someone remarked.

“Haha, I know the reason why Zoey doesn’t want to sign the contract!” Maurice exclaimed.

“What is it then?” Everyone looked at him curiously.

“It’s because I offended her husband! She wants to make things difficult for me on purpose. Didn’t you see how she

singled me out during the meeting? My guess is that she doesn’t want me to sign any spokesperson contracts or

take any advertisements. She plans to blacklist me instead!” Maurice declared viciously.

“Maurice, your imagination is running wild. Ms. Lopez isn’t someone like that.” Helena defended.

“Hmph! I’m sure about it. She’s definitely biased against me!”
