'They not only threaten me but also humiliate me!'
Stephen was so furious that his head was about to explode. He breathed faster and blushed as if he would faint in the next second.
Sydney pretended not to know that he became so furious because of Julien. She smoothed her hair beside her ear. "Mr. Dayton, calm down. I know that you can't accept my decision to drive you out of Skylight Corporation, but I have no other choice. Between you and me, only one can stay here. I'm the chairman and have the most stocks, so I won't be the one to leave. Now that it's not me, you must be the one to leave. Originally, I haven't made up my mind, though you have always made things difficult for me. I have tolerated and forgiven you again and again for the sake of your contribution to Skylight Corporation, but..."
The smile disappeared on her face slowly, and her expression became cold. "But I won't tolerate you without limits. If you restrained your behaviors slightly, I would allow you to stay in Skylight Corporation until you retire. Unexpectedly, you have gone too far. You attack me with my origins and even my parents. What's more, you sow discord between Julien and me. I have run out of patience with you. I must drive you away. It's true that you have some stocks and that I can't drive you away directly. However, as the chairman, I have countless chances to set traps to force you to sell stocks. As long as you sell all of your stocks..."
She paused.
But Stephen understood her meaning.
After he lost his stocks, he wasn't a stockholder anymore but a normal employee.
As the chairman, it was easy for Sydney to fire a normal employee.
Of course, Stephen believed that she was able to do that. With a pale face, he struggled to make the last effort. "Sydney, how dare you?"
Sydney lifted her chin slightly and said in a cold and arrogant voice, "Of course, I dare to do that! Don't forget that I'm the chairman and that you're just a minor stockholder. For the sake of your contribution, you have been appointed the general manager. It doesn't mean that you can do anything you want and thumb your nose at me. You have made things difficult for me with Madeline many times. I have let you off so many times because I want to give you chances to repent and be the general manager responsibly. If so, I will let bygones be bygones. However, I'm wrong. You're incorrigible. What's worse, you think that I'm a pushover and don't have the guts to deal with you because I have let you off again and again. You even become more rampant."
The more she said, the angrier she became. Her face turned red.
Julien patted her back slightly to smooth her breaths and signaled to her to calm down. There was no need for her to be so angry with such a scum.
She understood Julien's meaning and realized that she was too emotional indeed. She took deep breaths and calmed down slightly. "I find that I'm wrong. I should have dealt with you and Madeline when you cooperated with her for the first time. If so, you wouldn't have the chance to show up in front of me and disgust me today. Although it's a little late for me to realize the truth, it doesn't matter. I can deal with you now. Thus, please cherish your last time at Skylight Corporation. I said that the best way to take revenge on one was to let them live no better than let them die. I wait to see how grievous you will be after you're driven out of Skylight Corporation and can't get it anymore."
After she finished speaking, she made eye contact with Julien under Stephen's terrified gaze.
Julien understood her meaning and nodded. He pressed the button to open the doors of the elevator.
The doors of the elevator were opened. Outside the elevator, it was the hall on the first floor of Skylight Corporation.
The elevator had arrived on the first floor a while ago. To confront Stephen, Sydney had pressed the button to close the door as soon as the elevator arrived on the first floor.
Thus, the doors of the elevator had been closed since it arrived on the first floor.
After she walked out of the elevator and took a breath of fresh air, her mood immediately became better.
It was torture for her to breathe in the same air with such a scum.
Seeing that she relaxed, Julien opened the car door for her.
She bent and was about to get in the car.
Suddenly, he called her to stop.
"What's the matter?" She had stepped one foot in the car. She withdrew her foot and looked at him curiously.
He also looked at her. "Aren't you afraid that Stephen will be out of mind in anger and hurt you after you said so to him in the elevator?"
All the time, Stephen had schemed against her to get Skylight Corporation.
