Chapter 479
Maurice was now bing 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 thepany. As actors,
credibility is important to us too. Even if you are the boss, you can’t diss us like that!”
“Know your ce!” Zoey bellowed suddenly, shocking everyone present.
“Thepany management is having a meeting. Since when do you have the right to speak? You are
bing 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 exined to Horace, “Mr. Waller, I did some researchst night and realized that yourpany is
not being honest. The charity g 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 yourpany some advice. If you keep taking advantage of other people, karma
wille 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 mmed 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 exin 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 eximed.
“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 ns to cklist me instead!” Maurice
dered 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!”
