Yosef was trying to frame her.
“Grandpa, I’m innocent.”
“Enough.”
Lex chided, “Thea, no more of this in the future. Give up your position as the chairman for now. Howard will be the new chairman, while you’ll be the vice chairman. Learn from him in the meantime.”
Lex turned to leave.
Although Thea had made a grave mistake, she was competent.
Besides, she had connections. As they had worked hard to bring her back, Lex did not chase her out of the family. Instead, he demoted her.
Howard shook his head and sighed. “Thea, you’re still young and have a long way to go. I hope you’ve learned your lesson.”
“I-I’m innocent!”
Thea cried out.
“Yosef, tell grandpa it wasn’t me. It’s not me. Why are you framing me? Why?”
Howard helped Yosef up and said, “Yosef, this isn’t entirely your fault. We can only blame those who mess around thinking they have the authority to do so. You’re sixty years old. You should retire.”
“T-Thank you, Mr. Howard.”
Yosef apologized profusely. Then, he turned to leave.
“Sigh.”
“I thought Thea would devote herself wholeheartedly to the company. I didn’t expect her to do such a thing to satisfy her selfish desires.”
“Thankfully, nothing serious happened. Otherwise, Eternality would be in ruins.”
“Can she be forgiven?”
“She should be fired. Why let her stay?”
The high-ranking officials of Eternality sighed.
Upon hearing this, Thea, aggrieved, wept.
