Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

Chapter 389

Yvette tapped her fingers on the table and slightly raised her eyebrows, speaking in a relaxed tone, "Hmm, much appreciated, Mr. Langford."

Wyatt replied, "You are welcome. Thank you, Ms. Zeller."

After the call was disconnected, the conference room fell into silence. The man who had brought up the East Suburb project looked defeated. He had openly sided against Yvette, and now it backfired, leaving him extremely embarrassed. After a moment, Yvette raised her eyebrow, put away the phone and partially closed her eyes. "Anything else you want to say?"

Warron and Nelson glanced at each other, then lowered their heads and stayed silent. None of the other department managers dared to cause trouble. All of them noticed how polite Wyatt was to Yvette. They didn't dare to say anything. Zoe looked at Yvette with admiration. Yvette was truly remarkable. No one could have imagined that the future powerful businesswoman, who would dominate Seacrity, would solidify her resolve at this moment, beginning her journey of overcoming the odds. Yvette lifted her eyes and tilted her head with a mischievous look in her eyes. "The company will conduct a review of its employees. Those who are slacking off or got in through connections and contribute nothing will be dismissed.

The dismissal list will be posted on the company website tomorrow. Secondly, I need to inform everyone here that I have a bit of a temper, so to avoid any unpleasant incidents, you should behave yourselves. Don't cause me any trouble." Everyone was stunned again. She was badass as the new boss here. The Chambers Group was so big. It was inevitable that some got in through connections.

Especially Warron and Nelson. They used their positions to get people to work in the Chambers Group. Their relatives all got nice and easy jobs. Now, they were the most uncomfortable ones, sitting there like they were on pins and needles. Yvette tapped her fingers, her face expressionless as she took in everyone's reactions. She said, "Meeting adjourned."

It was a simple begin and a simple ending. After an hour, everyone in the conference room finally realized one thing. That was Yvette was not to be messed with.

After the meeting, Nelson and Warron left one after the other, while managers from various departments exited in an orderly manner. The whole process was silent, clearly reflecting the change in their attitude toward Yvette. Left in the conference room were Yvette, Lucas, and Zoe. Lucas stepped forward, a bit worried that those two wouldn't

behave.

In a quiet voice, he said, "Ms. Zeller, Warron, and Nelson are deeply entrenched in the Chambers Group. I'm worried they might try some underhanded tactics behind your back." Yvette raised an eyebrow, and leaned back in her chair, spinning her phone absentmindedly. "Well, I'm quite looking forward to it. Having someone to amuse myself with isn't bad."

Lucas was unsure whether to laugh or cry. Yvette had an unusual way of thinking, treating Warron and Nelson as her amusement. If those two found out they had been her source of fun and jokes, they'd probably be devastated. Lucas suddenly felt a bit sorry for them. Facing Yvette, who never followed the rules, Warron and Nelson should pray for themselves. If they insisted on fighting against Yvette, no one could stop them.

Yvette glanced back at the nervous Zoe, who was anxiously picking at her fingers, and said calmly, "For the next week, she'll

Lucas paused for a moment before nodding. So Yvette went out and brought back a girl to be her assistant.

Zoe was so moved. She never thought Yvette would be thinking of her at a time like this. She vowed to work her hardest for Yvette. Unintentionally, Yvette had gained another admirer. Meanwhile, in Warron's office, after the meeting, he and Nelson planned to meet there.

Nelson pushed the door open and saw Warron pacing back and forth, clearly anxious. His expression was serious. "I'm here."

Warron quickly welcomed him in. After checking to ensure no one was around, he promptly closed the door and pulled down the blinds.

Warron said anxiously, "Yvette is much harder to deal with than we thought. Now it's difficult to proceed. She's already starting to lay off people, clearly trying to weaken our influence in the Chambers Group. "And she even knows Mr. Langford. How does a young girl like her know the mayor?"

Nelson's face was full of contemplation. A single phone call from Yvette could make Wyatt change his attitude. It was ironic that something they had worked on for half a year was resolved with one call from her. Nelson said, "Yvette is ambitious and enthusiastic. Being new to her role, it's understandable she wants to achieve something. But layoffs aren't that simple. What if an employee gets into an incident because of the layoffs? That would be a real mess." When Warron heard this, his eyes lit up. If something like that happened, and the employees fought back. If they pretended to do something drastic like jumping off a building, Yvette would be in big trouble. Having just joined the Chambers Group, if something as serious as this occurred, she'd have to leave the company in disgrace. Warron looked at Nelson sitting on the couch. Both had different expressions, each with their own hidden motives and plans. Warron gritted his teeth. "That's a good plan, but who will take charge of it? If it's one of our people, won't it be too obvious? We should pick someone from the list of layoffs announced tomorrow, someone unknown to both you and me.

"We can't leave any evidence for Yvette to trace back to us."

Nelson nodded. He couldn't risk any involvement in this, not even a little. If it was discovered that they were behind the scheme, it would spell disaster. The two of them were in perfect accord and started planning how to execute the scheme without a hitch. At the Chambers Group, all the employees were restless today. All the department managers had gone to the meeting, leaving just the regular staff.

All the staff wondered, 'What would the new young lady in charge say? Would she come up with some chaotic, unrealistic plans and projects, and the ones left to deal with the hard work and stress would be us at the bottom?'

When the department managers returned to their departments, the employees sitting at their desks all turned their eyes toward their respective bosses.

The director of the administrative department, who usually had a very cordial relationship with his subordinates, waved his hand. "Alright, I know you're all curious about today's meeting. Ms. Zeller has decided on layoffs. The list will be announced tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the employees' faces went pale. They thought, 'Layoffs? How can this happen?' Seeing their shocked expressions, the manager refrained from saying anything more. Once the list was revealed tomorrow, everyone would know. For now, there were things better left unsaid. Nobody truly understood what Yvette was thinking.

At the Chambers residence, when Yvette returned, Zachary was already seated at the dining table. His dream of escaping to

the countryside for a peaceful retreat was completely shattered.

Yvette sent a short text message: [Come back.] He was a bit cautious on this. He didn't want to get into trouble after all. By now, he knew his daughter's temperament. Being late to the Chambers residence by even a minute meant walking into a storm.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zachary obediently packed his things and returned from the countryside.

As soon as Yvette and Lucas entered the house, they saw Zachary beaming with a big smile. "Yvette, hey, how's your day?" Zachary made it clear how delighted he was.
