They Got Me Fired, So I Went Home to My Fortune Chapter 11
Everyone in the conference room rose from their seats instinctively and bowed their heads in respect.The elderly man who'd entered the room was the founder of Larson Group—the company's retired and reclusive chairman. He was also my grandfather.Grandpa surveyed the room, his knifelike gaze finally landing on Noah and Isabelle, both frozen with fear.At last, he turned to look at me, and warm affection bloomed across his solemn, wizened face. "This is my granddaughter and Jacob's biological younger sister."What's so wrong about my granddaughter working as a special assistant in my company after getting the job through her own hard work? Who's been slandering my granddaughter, the heiress of Larson Group?"The entire conference room went into shock. Everyone's jaw dropped as if they'd just come upon the biggest plot twist.Noah and Isabelle looked like lightning had struck them, and they looked close to passing out.Jacob took his cue and stood up, projecting a document on the

Only a few days passed before a notice was sent to my office.The group's disciplinary committee had received many complaints from actual staff members and requested my cooperation as they looked into my so-called "inappropriate relationship" with Jacob.I became the first special assistant in Larson Group's history to be openly investigated by the disciplinary committee for rumors of an illicit affair.The moment the news broke, the company erupted in an uproar.Noah and Isabelle, believing they had dirt on me, encouraged their co-workers to pressure the board of directors into punishing me and clearing the company's good name.Isabelle even orchestrated an accidental run-in outside the office building.She deliberately cut me off and grabbed my arm, sobbing as she begged, "Just apologize and admit your mistake, Eloise! Stop dragging Mr. Larson into this mess! We'll speak up for you if you simply apologize!"She'd brought the waterworks, too, making such a show out of this that

After the meeting, Noah ran up to me and tried to grab my hand, but the bodyguard next to me kept him from getting near."Ellie, hear me out! This was all Isabelle's plan! She put me up to it! I wasn't in my right mind!" Out of desperation, Noah pushed Isabelle under the bus.I eyed him frostily. "That's Ms. Slater to you, Mr. Gardner. Work is the only thing I'll talk to you about while we're in the office."I then spun on my heels and walked away without sparing him a backward glance.I spotted Isabelle standing nearby, glowering at Noah. The next second, she fished out her phone. She looked like she was calling someone.I knew she wouldn't give up so easily. She was looking for a new ally, someone dependable she could use.I, on the other hand, had already laid out a trap for her.…Noah and Isabelle's suspension didn't stave off their attempts at payback. If anything, it only deepened their grudge.Soon, a slew of new rumors began to slowly spread through the company, and t

"I… I didn't! It was a bug! There must have been a bug in the system!" Noah insisted defensively, fumbling over his words as his eyes darted around in wild panic.Isabelle immediately stood as well, feigning worry as she chimed in, "That must be it, Ms. Slater. The company's system acts up from time to time. Noah couldn't have meant to hide the report."She was still trying to pin the blame on technology.I took in their rough-hewn acting but did not call them out right away. Instead, I calmly turned around, picked up the remote, and clicked on the next slide.A clear image of the daily activity log in the company system's backend was displayed on the big screen. Noah's maneuver, marked in red, stood out from the page like a sore thumb.It was irrefutable evidence that he was the saboteur."I don't know about the bug in the company's system. I do know, however, that the system log won't lie. Noah, this is a matter of trust and good faith in the workplace. Those have nothing to do

I felt everyone's gaze focus on me. Noah and Isabelle could barely keep the corners of their mouths from quirking upward.I held George's stare and simply smiled. "Thank you for your question, Mr. Lewitt. It's very important to our discussion."With a click of the remote, I brought up the appendix of the slide I'd been presenting. The detailed marketing report on the rival product's sub-brand was blown up on the big screen."We've not only taken into account the point you made, but also deeply analyzed it and came up with a counter strategy. I didn't mention it in the main report because I view this as an opportunity for us, not a threat."Composed and gracious, I explained the data and conclusion presented in the report in detail. I not only answered George's question perfectly and smoothly, but also reinforced that the market placement for my proposed product line-up was correct.George grimaced slightly.Isabelle noticed things going south for her and Noah and quickly interjec

Not long after my direct appointment as the CEO's special assistant, I faced my first big challenge. I had to come up with an internal project proposal, a task that was key to proving myself.Naturally, Noah and Isabelle wouldn't pass up the chance to make this even harder for me. The latter started feigning concern for me and even showed up at my office."You've been working too hard, Ms. Slater." Isabelle carefully set a mug of coffee on my desk. "I heard you were working on a proposal for a new product line-up."George Lewitt from the marketing department has valuable experience in this kind of work. He may be a little odd, but please don't take anything he says personally."She sounded like she meant well, but in truth, George was the loudest dissenting voice on this proposal. He was also Noah's ally in the marketing department.Isabelle was misguiding me, hoping I'd walk right into her trap.I saw through her crude performance and smoothly took the coffee. "Is that so?
