Chapter 235: Chapter 235

shocked and speechless, they looked at Lucas suspiciously instead.

Everyone could guess that Lucas was expanding his influence in the company.

However, they remained silent because Lucas had managed to recover 100 million of losses for the company by himself and fired the idiot director.

Lucas was considered as the biggest hero that day.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lucas noticed what was going on and explained slowly, "Both of them are rare talents of our company. They were fired by Director Lu as they exposed the scandal. They have come forward bravely again and recovered some of our losses. We should recognize their contribution. What do you guys think?"

Someone nodded. "I agree."

In the end, most people agreed with Lucas's suggestion.

Lucas continued to take advantage of the situation and added, "As for Ryan, I'll appoint him as the Chief Project Manager. His ability is obvious to all. Linda has always been working in administration, so I'll appoint her to be the Chief Administrative Manager.

Olivia frowned mutely.

Since things ended up in that manner, there was nothing else she could say.

When the meeting was over, Olivia glanced at Chase and left the meeting room first.

Chase was getting ready to leave.

In an instant, Lucas, Linda, and Ryan appeared in front of Chase.

The three of them were looking at Chase with such mockery.

It seemed that they wanted to take revenge on Chase for he had caused them great humiliation.

Ryan mocked, "Director Lu, oh no, you are no longer the director now. You are but a dog that just got kicked out! Hmph, how dare you to go against me? You are too young and naive!"

Linda chimed in without hesitation. Do you think it will work if you get rid of me? Look at who is the one being kicked out right now? Scram!"

Lucas pretended to have a big heart and patted Chase on the shoulder, whispering, "Well, that was a good fight. Anyway, you have lost this round."

Chase looked at the three of them and walked away, close mouthed. The three guffawed loudly behind his back. They had won this battle with great triumph!

As long as Olivia continued to be the scapegoat in their game, she would be fired sooner or later. After she left, Lucas would naturally become the director. The Zhang family would then be invincible!

Lucas was very excited!

When Chase returned to his office to pack his things, he saw someone unexpectedly.

It was Elena.

This was the first time Chase seeing Elena after more than 20 days.

Elena had lost a great deal of weight and looked haggard.

Unspeaking, she stared straight at Chase.

Her eyes did not show the same arrogance as before, instead, there was forbearance.

Chase walked to her and smiled gently, asking. "Why are you here? Did you hear the news?"

Elena nodded.

She came over with the intention to scold Chase.

It was not just because of the movie that had become a flop.

It was also because of the photo of her hugging Chase that had gone viral on the Internet early that morning.

Although the photo did not reveal Chase's face, it had shown her face clearly.

Gossip.

Scandal.

All the evil words were directed toward Elena.

The old arrogant Elena would have made a big fuss.

But she was now a different person.

She initially wanted to rebuke Chase when she saw him.

But looking at Chase's sincere gaze, she became conflicted and uncertain about how she needed to act.

Rather than the harsh criticism, Chase perhaps needed some words of empathy from her the most.

She just couldn't scold him.

Seeing that she didn't say a word, Chase continued to pack his things.

After he was finally done with the packing, Elena caught up with him and asked, "Is this also your so-called hardship?" When Elena waited for an answer from him, what Chase had said to her previously flashed through her mind.

Elena thought that this statement was used to humiliate and made her suffer during the shooting.

She didn't expect that the day had come for his very own advice to be directed to himself.

A female celebrity who could not defend herself from the scandal would end up having her career with a dead end.

Therefore, she posed him the question and waited for his answer.

Chase turned his head in amazement and smiled. "Did you just come to your senses?"

His rhetorical question made Elena bewildered.

Chase continued, "How do you feel? Can you still stand it? If you can't, you can go to the public relations department and tell them that you were innocent and it was me who forced you."

Elena wanted to do this a long time ago.

When Chase mentioned it, a sudden realization dawned upon it.

It was not because she didn't want to explain herself.

But it was because she found herself to be able to bear it. All of these were due to the suffering for the past twenty days. She wondered, "Did Chase plan for this scandal as well?"

Did he purposely let Linda take the photo? Why did he hug her at that time? She had so many unanswered questions.

Seeing that she was deep in her thoughts, Chase patted her shoulder and praised, "You seem to have grown up. Let me give you another piece of advice. The more slander you can take, the more praises you will receive. I'll see you again."

Slander?

Praise?

What the hell was he going to do? Elena was more confused.

It felt like she was abandoned by Chase cruelly on a stranded boat in the middle of an ocean On top of that, there was a heavy storm ahead of her She didn't know what to expect. Would it be a dead end, or would she see the rainbow after this thunderstorm!

Looking at him leaving, she froze at that moment.

Meanwhile, Chase was at the entrance of the company and saw a person standing there.

It was Olivia.

Olivia stood in front of her car and scowled at Chase coldly. "Get in the car. I'll take you home.

Chase looked at her, still feeling amused at the fact that she had irregular menses, and asked, "Are you angry with me?"

After Chase got into the car, she went in and hissed coldly while they were on their way, "You have been kicked out of the company and lost everything now. Should I be angry with you?"

The company will fall into a difficult situation next. I think we will not see each other again in this life. Taking you home is the least I can do for our previous partnership."

Chase nodded. "I see. But you seem to have said something wrong. I was not kicked out."

Olivia frowned.

She suddenly saw Chase displaying a very strange smirk from the rearview mirror.

Chase added, "I was not kicked out. I'm playing the game the way it should be played so that it can be dealt with once and for all."

He drawled. The show has just begun!"
