When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 985 No Significant Impact

The others looked at the contract and confirmed it.

“She really got it back.”

“Not an easy feat.”

Everyone started flattering Elena, fully aware that she must have helped. After all, the client wasn’t anything special and didn’t impact the Imminence Corporation.

Listening nearby, Miranda wore a look of disdain.

After taking a sip of water, she said, “Aunt, you’re being too nice to your daughter–in–law. Spending fifty million to bring back a client doesn’t benefit us at Orion Corporation at all.”

As soon as Miranda finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Elena looked at her in disbelief, not understanding how she knew that she had spent fifty million to bring back the client.

Niel was angry. “Elena, is this how you’re going to favor Cecilia? You can’t seriously think that such a small client would make Miranda give her position to Cecilia, right?”

Before the meeting started, Niel had overheard Miranda secretly mentioning that Elena was cheating.

Elena’s face immediately lost all its color when scolded by Niel.

She clenched her fists, shot a fierce glare at Miranda, and then silently withdrew her gaze.

I’m all humiliated all thanks to Cecilia. Why did she make a bet with someone else for no reason?

All of Elena’s anger was directed at Cecilia.

What she didn’t know was that today, Cecilia would not only avoid making her lose face but would also bring her glory and respect.

“Let’s continue…” Before Miranda could finish speaking, someone pushed open the conference room door from the outside.

Everyone looked toward the door and saw Cecilia had arrived.

Cecilia glanced at the time, “Ten twenty–eight. I’m not late, right? Did you all start without me?”

She rushed over as fast as she could but still pretended to be calm.

Miranda’s expression was somewhat stiff.

She never expected Cecilia would dare to come!

“Cecilia, being late is being late. How can you lie? Our meeting time is ten o’clock. How could you not be late? You’re twenty–eight minutes late. Everyone has been waiting for you,” Miranda said slowly.

Cecilia didn’t expect Miranda to pull such a stunt, trying to trap her over this little detail.

However, that wouldn’t affect anything that followed.

Cecilia stepped forward, looking for her seat, only to realize Miranda hadn’t arranged a spot for her at all.

A chill flashed in her eyes as she walked straight up to Miranda.

“Please stand up.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Miranda was confused. “What?”

“Stand up. Can’t you understand?” Cecilia repeated.

Miranda didn’t know what she was up to but stood up.

To her surprise, Cecilia pulled out her chair and sat down in her place.

Miranda’s eyes widened instantly. “Cecilia, how can you sit in my seat?”

Cecilia, hearing this, pointed to the nameplate on the table that read, Manager of Team Five, Sales Department.

“According to the rules, I am now the manager of Team Five of the sales department, so of course, I should sit here.”

Her words stunned everyone present.

Miranda scoffed, “Cecilia, we all know about the cheating you had Aunt Elena do. If spending money to bring back a client counts as snatching the project from Imminence Corporation, then I willingly concede.”

Her remark was particularly clever.

The people present looked at Cecilia with disdain.

Buying clients at a loss–what kind of skill was that?

Cecilia felt puzzled. When did I ask Elena to cheat? She glanced at Elena, who had her head down and remained silent.

She somewhat understood. It seemed that Elena called her to see if she needed help and took matters into her own hands, only to get caught.

Cecilia sighed silently and then took a contract out of her bag, slapping it down in front of everyone.

“What a joke! Is this contract the result of a loss through cheating?”
