Chapter: 763

Once home, Sonia rang her up. Despite Sonia’s reassurances and offers of company, Ariana declined.

There were also comforting messages from Sarah, Tyler, and others.

Ariana let out a sigh. She was able to quickly get a grip because she knew Theodore was alive and he

had plans in motion. However, Sarah and Sonia were in the dark, and she intended to keep it that way.

She didn’t want to make matters worse.

With guilt tugging at her, Ariana had a sleepless night. She was fraught with worry for Theodore.

To distract herself from her thoughts, she woke up early the next day to attend an online prenatal class.

While engaged with that, she received a call from Marge.

“Ariana, are you feeling any better today?” Marge sounded uncertain on the line.

“I’m doing okay.”

She sensed that Marge had something on her mind, so she prodded, “What’s up?”

“Oh, nothing much,” Marge sighed. “I was upset about what happened yesterday. I’ve submitted my

resignation, but I still have to pass on my duties. I’ll be Leaving in about a month.”

After a moment of silence, Marge added, “Also, Sarah, her team, and Tyler are thinking about cutting

ties with the company. They’re currently hashing it out in the conference room.”

The conference room was saturated with a tangible strain; various individuals found themselves at

odds with each other. One faction consisted of Jasper, joined by the HR chief, while the other consisted

of Sarah, her squad, and Tyler

A collective frown of displeasure spread across every face present, a mirror to the discordant talk of

contract termination. Jasper, freshly minted as CEO, was experiencing firsthand the bitter taste of

rebellion.

His authority was challenged, creating a ripple of negativity throughout the corporate sphere. This first

wave of defiance led by Sarah and her team had spurred on the undercurrent of anticipation within the

company, where others awaited his downfall with bated breath.

Unable to suppress his frustration, Jasper aggressively slapped the papers he held onto the table. A

conceited sneer marked his face as he stared down at Sarah and her comrades. “You’d do well to

reconsider,” he warned, brimming with self-importance, “Your significance outside the Anderson Group

is questionable. Remember who helped you be where you are now.”

Sarah held her stance, unwilling to give in. “Your contribution or Lack thereof in our rise is irrelevant,”

she countered, her gaze not wavering from Jasper’s. “What matters is that we’ve decided to sever ties

with the firm today.”

As Sarah’s audacity escalated, so did Jasper’s wrath. “Fine,” he seethed, his words echoing with

malice, “You ungrateful wretch! If you are determined to leave, be prepared to be slapped with a lawsuit

for breaking the contract

Yet Sarah was undeterred. With an unwavering resolution, she shot back, “Alright then, we’ll face this

head-on in court. I had the courage to show up today; I’m not scared of your threats!” Her hand hit the

table with force as she pointed her finger accusatorily at Jasper. “You used to neglect your company

duties, but now you have struck gold and become the CEO. But don’t think too much of yourself! You

are nothing but a playboy!”

Sarah’s words pushed Jasper closer to the edge. But the HR head at his side stepped in, putting a

temporary halt to his brewing counterattack.

With a strained smile, the HR head tried to pacify the situation. “Mr. Anderson, I implore you to cool

down and Lend me your ear,” he urged.

“What’s Left to discuss? These folks all of a sudden believe they can fly without our help. How

ungrateful!” Jasper retorted, his patience rapidly dwindling.

“It’s not quite that simple,” interjected the HR head, swallowing his exasperation. He soldiered on, his

smile barely holding up. “Sarah, at this time, is a significant asset to our firm, she’s the prime driving

force for our traffic and revenue. You might want to consider finding a way to convince her to stay.”

“Why would I want her around? Have I lost my mind?” The ridicule was apparent in Jasper’s voice, his

regard for Sarah had plummeted.

With an internal sigh, the HR head elaborated, “The company is already in choppy waters due to the

sudden demise of the previous CEO, which led to a sharp drop in our market shares. Sarah is

essentially our anchor in this storm. If she walks out, it will only amplify the chaos.”

Yet, Jasper remained indifferent to the reasoning. His face reddened in his mounting anger, any

association between Sarah and Ariana was distasteful to him. The possibilities of the tricks they might

be pulling behind his back were endless. Moreover, Ariana had not only rejected him but had also

physically kicked him, effectively burning their bridge. The mere thought of keeping anyone associated

with Ariana in his Life was repulsive to him.

ALL these thoughts only added fuel to Jasper’s raging fire. He wrenched himself free from the HR

head’s grasp. He made his announcement, his voice echoing around the room, “These useless folks

were all propped up by Ariana. What’s their worth? I can just find another artist to fill in their shoes.”
