Celestial Queen: Revenge Is Sweet When You’re A Zillionaire Heiress

Chapter 1000:

Health challenges had led to Nyomi’s retirement. To help her relax, Skyla arranged for Nyomi to live with the Sanderson family.

However, Nyomi wasn’t one to sit idle. She enjoyed preparing meals for everyone, and despite Skyla’s protests, she couldn’t be persuaded to stop entirely. They eventually struck an agreement—Nyomi could cook no more than twice a week, and only on her terms.

Brenton took a bite of the food and gave a nod of approval. The flavor surpassed Callie’s cooking. Recalling Harlee’s mention of layoffs the day before, Brenton asked casually between bites, “I forgot to ask you yesterday.

How are you handling those employees?” Letting people go was straightforward, but dealing with the influences behind them was always tricky.

Harlee gave a sly smile.

“That’s my secret. Oh, and you need to replace Dina.”

Brenton set his fork down and looked at her, intrigued.

“Aren’t you just targeting one person?”noveldrama

“Yes, but she couldn’t resist interfering, so now she’s part of it too,” Harlee said lightly.

Brenton murmured “interfering” under his breath, quickly catching on to her meaning. The day before, after reviewing the security footage and confirming Dina had authorized Anika’s access, he’d specifically asked Harlee if she planned to address it.

Harlee’s response had been no, so what had changed? Unless…

An idea clicked in Brenton’s mind.

Harlee would only take action when someone crossed a boundary.

Dina must have either conspired with Anika or aimed to stir trouble over the layoffs.

“Is it because of an internal issue or something external?” Brenton asked.

Harlee glanced at him with amusement.

“Dina’s situation? It’s a mix of both.”

Brenton wasn’t surprised. Many senior employees in the company were opportunistic, each pursuing their own interests.

Harlee finished her drink and stood up.

“Take your time finishing. I’ll be waiting outside.”

Brenton immediately rose.

“I’m done. Let’s go.” With that, he quickly drained the rest of his glass and followed her out.

His curiosity burned to see how Harlee planned to address those manipulators. When the time came, he intended to bring their father along to witness the spectacle. Their father had left him to deal with these tangled problems and had explicitly forbidden him from challenging the senior staff.

Brenton wondered if their father would maintain the same stance once Harlee—his favored child—stepped in to deal with the senior staff.

At the break of dawn, employees from the Sanderson Group reached the office earlier than usual. They avoided having breakfast at their desks. Once seated, everyone directed their attention fully toward their screens.

There were whispers that Harlee would address individuals who had gained employment through connections and clung to their roles, despite lacking competence.

Everyone felt the pressure to perform at their best.
