As the heiress of the Lewis family, Carolyn found it utterly demeaning to be doing such menial work within the company.

She had only taken the cleaning job because Monique instructed her to stir up trouble for Chloe, who was becoming a growing nuisance.

When Chloe spotted Carolyn loitering nearby, she knew exactly why she was there. Without breaking stride, she issued a cool directive. “The conference room needs cleaning later.” Then she continued down the hall, leaving Carolyn frozen in disbelief.

Carolyn’s face twisted into a look of utter disbelief. Had Chloe just ordered her around like some hired help? Clean the conference room? The audacity. Who did she think she was? There was no way Carolyn would take orders from her.

Inside the boardroom, the atmosphere was just as tense.

“Mr. Lewis, you can’t seriously be allowing Chloe to make reckless moves like this.”

“The one–month deadline was already ambitious, but this kind of rash decision will run the company into the ground.”

Scott cut her off, his eyes briefly dropping to the apron she wore. His expression tightened as he recalled his own embarrassing moment earlier, hastily tearing up documents after the meeting. “Go clean the conference room,” he said flatly before walking away.

Claiming she could not only stabilize the collapsing Lewis Group but also achieve profitability withi dub month? It sounded like a bluff–but still, a small part of them hoped she could pull it off.

“She’s tough, I’ll give her that. If she actually turns this around in a month, I’ll be the first to acknowledge her capability.”

“You said it. Maybe she does have what it takes. Let’s see what the next month brings.”

Carolyn overheard their remarks, her grip tightening around the mop handle. That scheming Chloe was already winning people over so easily? If this continued, Chloe would cement her position as the true heir to Lewis Group–something Carolyn could never allow.

Just then, Monique’s voice cut through her thoughts. “Carolyn? What are you doing here?”

Carolyn turned to see her mother emerging from the boardroom, accompanied by Ernesto and two other senior executives.

“Mom. I just popped by to check in. I… ” Carolyn dropped her voice, eager to tell her mother she’d come to scope things out. The memory of Chloe ordering her around still rubbed her the wrong way, so she leaned in and murmured hastily, “Chloe told me to clean the conference room–even Dad…” Catching sight of the onlookers, she swiftly shifted gears. “Even Dad said I should do it. What am I supposed to do?”
