ddish tried to maintain aposed facade despite the mounting pressure.


    Several managers shot her meaningful nces, silently conveying that she was on thin ice, Suddenly, Logan spoke up, "Ms. Carter, you don''t need toe to work tomorrow."


    ddish''s eyes widened in shock. "Ms. Cooper, what do you mean by this?"


    Logan was the second inmand in thepany. She had full authority to dismiss anyone.


    But had ddish offended her in any way? Why would she want to dismiss her? "Aren''t I clear enough?" Logan''s tone was indifferent yet assertive. "You''re fired."


    It was evident that Renee and Francis were friends. However, ddish seemed oblivious and dared to give Renee a hard time right in front of Carlisle. Wasn''t that a p in his face?


    "I refuse to ept this! I will speak to Mr. Zahn about this!"


    She tried to rise from her chair, only to find her legs turning jelly, unable to muster the strength to stand.

    At 38, she entered Riley Corporation based on her work experience. She had been working there for four years since Riley Corporation''s establishment.


    Now, at 42 and being dismissed, it would be difficult for her to find another position as a finance manager.

    ddish pondered briefly, quickly recalling that Carlisle had just given ten thousand dors to Francis.

    .... I didn''t know!"


    -Logan remained unmoved by ddish''s tears. She turned to a staff member in the finance department and said, "Eddy, give Ms. Carter four months'' worth of sry."


    Eddy pursed his lips, trembling as he counted a stack of cash from the drawer.


    It was already 2:00 pm when Carlisle returned to Dragonaire Studio.


    Team Legendary department''s living room had two poker tables set up, filled with the pungent smell of smoke. As soon as Carlisle entered, the bustling living room instantly fell silent.

    Seeing everyone cing hundred-dor bills in front of them, Carlisle shook his head and said, "You go ahead. We''re all friends here, so there''s no need to bet so high!"


    guys Heathughed. "They won''t be satisfied if it''s small stakes!"


    Most of these people used to be his second-rate buddies, always ready to spend more than they had, especially at the gambling table.


    Carlisle checked the kitchen and found the pots and pang ready, but ve there was no gas. So, he settled for


    instant noodles for dinner.


    While eating instant noodles, he also yed a few rounds of ck Jack.


    Whether it was due to bad luck or not, he lost two thousand dors in the time it took to eat his noodles.


    "Forget it, I''m done. My luck is terrible!"


    Carlisle threw his cards onto the table and then went to bed.


    "Haha! Boss, you owe me 300!"
