Chapter 89
There’s going to be a huge drama. I can’t believe Ms. Perez will let them smear her reputation.”
“Shut up, didn’t you hear Ms. Hoffman? The company has been given to her!”
Yeah, it’s shocking. How could Mr. Pearson pull something like that? Ms. Hoffman is pregnant. No wonder she’s acting so arrogantly.”
I took a deep breath and spoke calmly, “Everyone, please quiet down. The actual truth behind this will be addressed by Mr. Pearson himself at the company’s annual meeting.”

After I finished speaking, everyone became quiet. Then I calmly continued, “The second thing is regarding the Development Project in Mississippi. I intend to collaborate with a foreign company to secure this project jointly. I’ll finalize the specific processes and project design today and announce the details of the partnership tomorrow.
“Meanwhile, I hope everyone remains calm about the recent happenings in the company until Mr. Pearson conducts the annual meeting. Starting now, all design drafts from the Design Department will be reviewed and approved by Ms. Barnett. No one has the authority to override her decisions unless I give my approval.
“Additionally, those jewelry and clothing designs I previously withheld from Mr. Pearson should all be disclosed, including the original drafts of the Fire Youth’ clothing line, which Ms. Barnett has located.
“Starting today, I won’t hide my abilities anymore. I don’t want to be protected by Mr. Pearson. I will prove myself to everyone.”
Loud applause broke out, and I looked at the crowd with a hint of confidence.
Caitlyn’s arrogant demeanor seemed to fade, but I had work to do and had no intention of dealing with her.
After the meeting, I walked towards my office, while Caitlyn was still shouting there.
“Kaylie, don’t get too full of yourself. I am the deputy president of this company and Leland’s true love. I’m carrying his child, the future heir to the group. You’d better face the facts and not try to take anything away from me.”
I didn’t even bother to give her a glance, but Denise couldn’t hold back.
Ms. Hoffman, we all know you’ve been with Mr. Pearson and are pregnant with his child. But didn’t you say Mr. Pearson gave you money? Isn’t that enough? What makes you think you’re so valuable that you still want to take things away from Ms. Perez?”
Caitlyn was furious. “Who do you think you are, interrupting my conversation with Kaylie? Denise, don’t forget I’m the one who fired you. Do you really think I can’t make things hard for you?”
