On the other end of the phone, Celine
sounded relaxed.
Jasper chuckled. “Say, I really have
something special which can only be
solved with the power of the Maynards.”
Celine frowned. She was initially sorting
some things out, but now she sat back in
the office chair. She asked, “What is this
thing that can only be solved by my
family? Tell me, but I can’t guarantee it
will be done.”
Jasper told her about the Boyles’
granddaughter.
Celine frowned as she listened.
“Normally, this will be solved with just
one phone call, but in this special period,
the reason they did this was to teach a
lesson to the Boyles or the entire Harbor
City capital… So, I am afraid it will be
difficult,” Celine said bluntly.
“If we were not in this special period, I

After speaking, Celine hung up the phone when she saw that her office door was being pushed open.
As soon as she hung up, someone walked into Celine’s office.
“Miss Maynard, I didn’t expect you to be here. Why? Do you need an hour to pack your things? Or are you very reluctant to leave this position?”
The woman who came in was a well dressed middle-aged woman. This Latina’s looks, figure, and temperament were nothing like Celine’s. When she stood in front of Celine, she was more like a clown, and because of this, she looked at Celine with hatred and animosity.
Celine looked at the woman coldly and said insipidly, “Gaia, should I congratulate you once again for getting something I don’t want?”
Gaia’s face turned pale, and she said angrily, “What did you say?”
“Don’t you know what I’m saying?”
Celine scoffed and continued slowly, ” Ever since you joined the company, you’ve been treating me as your rival, and you’ve always been jealous of me. You pursued the men who pursued me, and you used the things that I’d use. Furthermore, you even bought the same clothes I wear and did everything you could to get the position I was in.
Gaia smirked and replied, “Stop feeling so pleased with yourself, Celine. I am replacing you as the new president of the Terra regional branch while you’re being fired by the bank and can only get kicked out of the company with your tail between your legs.”
“Right, perhaps this job means that. you’re at the pinnacle of your life, but to m e, this is just a normal job. I don’t care about it,” Celine said coldly.
“Hehe, continue your act. You were fired because you leaked commercial secrets. Who will dare to hire you once news of this gets out? You will never be able to find another job!”
