Supreme Mars

Chapter 299 Rebellion in the L Group

"Mrs. Walsh!"

"President Walsh, there you are!"

Those who had already held a grudge against Lydia, young and old, immediately stood up respectfully

upon seeing Sophia in as if she were their mainstay.

That made Leo narrow his eyes in thoughts. It s seemed that Lydia didn't have enough power in the L

Group.

The gloom in Sophia's eyes flashed and was taken over by a warm smile. She nodded to everyone, no

matter high or low their positions were, looking so courteous.

Other people felt relieved and couldn't help looking at Lydia who was standing there alone.

Sophia would be a great threat to Lydia once she was back, or Lydia wouldn't have transferred her to

the Hopkins Metropolis when the group was founded.

Bam...

Irene pounded the table and looked at Sophia inimically. She said in displeasure, "Ms. Black, watch

your words! What do you mean by 'how could you forget me'?"

"Irene, it's you? I remembered you are just an intern who just graduated from college when I left, right?

Turns out you're the vice president now. What a surprise!"

Sophia glanced at Irene disdainfully and smiled contemptuously. "I suggest you be polite to me. No one

in this group gets to speak to me like that except Lydia!"

"You..."

Irene's face twisted in anger. She was about to argue, only to be stopped by Lydia. "Irene!"

Irene turned around, and she still looked angry. "Ms. Henderson, she's disrespecting you..."

"Come back."

Lydia's tone was flat, but the order was too stern to be rejected.

However, Irene was still standing there with an angry face.

Lydia stood up from her presidential spot and looked down at Sophia from the upstage. "No one knows

you're back because you never told us. That's why you're not invited to this meeting."

Sophia put up a defiant smile and asked, "So you're saying this is my fault?"

"Isn't it?" Lydia answered calmly with her cold eyes fixed on Sophia.

"Well then."

Sophia smiled indifferently. She stared at Lydia and continued, "Now that I'm here, I think I have the

right for a few words in this executive meeting."

"Of course."

No matter how much Lydia hated Sophia, she wouldn't ignore that Sophia was her vice president.

Sophia walked towards the table, and a guy immediately stood up and said, "Please, take my seat."

"Thank you!"

Sophia accepted it and thanked him with a smile.

She talked elegantly and had the demeanor of a mature woman, which made her easier to get along

with, given how distant Lydia usually was.

After Sophia sat down gracefully, her eyes fell on Leo. After a short glance, she said, "I'd be the first

one to disapprove of appointing this guy."

"Me, either!"

"Ms. Black is right. He wasn't qualified to be our vice president at all!"

"Ms. Henderson, we know he's your husband, but this would be very unfair to us!" NôvelDrama.Org content.

"..."

Leo didn't seem to be angry with their disapproval at all. He was an outsider and got appointed as the

vice president suddenly. Given he was Lydia's husband, it was fair for them to think that Lydia made the

decision because she wanted to keep the goodies within her family.

Lydia put her hands on the table and asked coldly, "Then give me your reason."

Lydia's words amused Sophia. She laughed, "You need a reason for that? Lydia, I thought you've been

the president long enough to know what 'recusation' means?"

Lydia's eyes darkened as she heard the word. Leo looked gloomy because he had read Sophia's hint,

too.

"Lydia, you love the good-for-nothing bum, that's your thing, and I don't care about it... but bringing him

here and making him the vice president, I don't think that's appropriate."

Sophia crossed her legs and looked at the executives around her. "These people were all the

mainstays of the L Group. I think they deserve a promotion after what they've done for this company.

Your incompetent husband wouldn't be the last one to be considered. Weren't you afraid that you would

let us down when you make that decision?"

Those words were extremely sly and accurate. Sophia was smart enough to know that she still wasn't

Lydia's match; therefore, she had to take all the executives with her, inciting them to go against Lydia.

Within a short while, those people already looked furious. They were all blaming Lydia.

"Ms. Henderson, please explain this to us!"

"Yeah! Or I'll quit!"

"We know he's your husband, but we won't agree if you want to make him the vice president! It will ruin

our reputation if it gets out!"

The voice of dissatisfied resistance grew louder and louder, but Lydia fell into silence.

Leo didn't say anything. He was observing everything with calm eyes. He surely wanted to say

something, but he knew he couldn't.

As Sophia had said, he was still an outsider to the L Group now. The only ruler in this room was Lydia.

Seeing Lydia wouldn't say anything, Sophia thought she was scared. Sophia's lips then arched and put

on a thin sneer.

"Ms. Henderson, you should really be rational. I knew you can't want to help your loser husband find a

job, but you can just offer him the VP position."

Sophia raised her chin and pointed to Leo who hadn't said anything yet. Then she asked with her voice

raised all of a sudden, "Tell me, what makes him qualified for the job?"

Lydia remained silent, and Leo, who was sitting in the back, looked colder/

After a long silence, Lydia suddenly raised her eyes and skimmed over everyone with cold eyes.

Her gaze was sharp and breathtaking, which has extinguished the flaming furious of those arrogant

executives. They looked a bit nervous now.

Sophia, who had been so confident minutes ago, sat up straight and stared at Lydia with a stern look.

She felt a bit nervous, too.

Lydia's cold eyes moved over those protesting executives one by one. Then she opened her red lips

and asked indifferently, "You'll quit if I don't explain this to you, huh?"

Those people were shocked, and they felt numb on their scalp, but they still replied forcefully, "That's

right. That would be very unfair to us. We're fighting for our rights!"

"Your rights?"

Lydia sneered, "What makes you think you have the rights with your little contribution to the company?"

Everyone was stunned. Sophia's face changed because she didn't think Lydia would say that at an

executive meeting, which would make her lose quite a lot of support.

However, what Lydia said next stroke everyone like thunder.

"Since you don't want to work here anymore, then I'll have to let you leave. You should draft your

resignation letters before noon and hand them over!"

Shoo...

Those words were as shocking as a bolt from the blue. People froze on the spot, including the two vice

presidents, Irene and Sophia

They thought they heard it wrong... Lydian just fired almost everyone.

Irene looked anxious and hurriedly asked, "Ms. Henderson... what are you talking about? Firing so

many people at once will demoralize the whole group and shut all projects down!"

However, Lydia's face remained cold, "It's fine. I can live with it as long as the core team remains

unchanged. I don't care how big this change is."

"Actually, if I don't do it now, there will still be a day when I need to weed out all those parasites who

are overpaid."

All the executives who had gone against Lydia looked ashen and dull.

They threatened Lydia with their resignation, but they didn't really want to quiet. They just wanted to get

more rights from her.

Sophia was too shocked to say anything. Her fingers were twitching.

She just wanted to teach Lydia a lesson at first, and never had she expected Lydia to be so aggressive.

Lydia was firing so many people for the sake of her loser husband! That sounded like a windfall to

Sophia.

Sophia suddenly looked thrilled, "Lydia, don't forget what you just said!"

Lydia looked indifferent. "You said he's not qualified for the VP position, right?"

Sophia was a little afraid of Lydia's eyes; she looked at Leo, whose face was still calm, and said with

her teeth gritted, "What? Am I wrong?"

"First, he is an outsider and didn't know our business at all."

"Secondly, what's his contribution to our group?"

"Third, do you think you can do anything you want just because you're the president?"

Sophia popped out the three questions in a row as she stood up and confronted Lydia

"Okay, I'll tell you why!"

"It's not about he's my husband at all; it's because the L Group couldn't have achieved what we have

today without him!"

Lydia spoke louder and pointed at Leo, "Other things aside, let's talk about the 880-million-yuan

sponsorship he has drawn for us."

"Which one of you can do that?"

The intense question stupified other people.
