Chapter 324:
Freya didn’t protest.
They both stood and opened the door to the meeting room.
As Freya and the chairman made their way out, the room fell silent, the air thick with anticipation. Everyone's
eyes darted anxiously toward Freya, worried she might bear the brunt of sfallout.
“Mr. Briggs, this matter is my responsibility. Please, don’t let this investment advisor go,” the team leader spoke
first, her voice steady but firm. “If blmust fall, let it fall on my shoulders.”
Hugh blinked in surprise. When had he ever spoken of dismissing Freya?
Instinctively, he glanced at Freya, her calm gaze unwavering, but a twinge of unease gripped him. Could she be
thinking he had dismissed others for Vivien’s sake in the past?
The mere thought of such a misunderstanding made him uneasy. If Freya believed he'd been unjust in favoring
Vivien, would that distance between them only grow wider?
“Mr. Briggs hasn't dismissed me,” Freya interjected, her voice slicing through the tension. She then turned to
Vivien, her tone unwavering. “Pack up your things and head to the training department.”

Freya didn’t sugarcoat it. “Your skills arent up to par for the planning department's editorial role. You're being

The murmurs swirled around Vivien like a storm, and she longed for the earth to swallow her up. She never
imagined Hugh would be so cold.
Despite her usual obedience, why was he treating her like this?
“That won't be necessary!” Vivien quickly tried to backpedal, her voice dripping with false humility. “Maybe I'm
just not cut out for a company like Briggs Group. | don’t want to waste anyone's time, so I'll just resign.”
“Get her a resignation form,” Freya instructed the team leader, her voice calm and decisive.
The team leader hesitated, a flicker of confusion crossing her face.
How did the investment advisor know she handled resignation forms? Nonetheless, after a glance at Hugh, who
said nothing, she quickly retrieved a form. “Here you go.”
Vivien was frozen, her mind scrambling. What in the world was happening? Was Hugh really going to let this
stand without saying a word?
“Didn't you want to resign?” Freya
