The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 328

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Exactly what it sounds like.” Reese leaned back in her chair, calm and unbothered. “If you’re so curious, why don’t you go look it up yourself?” She didn’t give Sebastian another glance. Instead, she raised her voice toward the door. “Security, please show Mr. Ratcliff out.”

Sebastian’s face turned stormy, his chest rising and falling with barely controlled rage. But he didn’t lose it. He just locked his eyes on Reese, voice low and icy.

“Reese, I hope you know what you’re doing. With the state Ramos Corporation is in, I could destroy it whenever I want. Don’t push me.”

A while ago, that would have scared her. In Bridger Lake, Sebastian definitely had the power to ruin Ramos Corporation. But things had changed. Now that Leslie had dragged him into trouble, the government was bound to come knocking again. This time, he wouldn’t get away so easily. Reese wasn’t about to be threatened anymore. Besides, Ratcliff Global had already started coming after them.

She just nodded, her face completely blank, as if he hadn’t just threatened her livelihood. “Go ahead. You can leave now.”

There was noise at the door as security arrived. Sebastian glanced at them, then shot Reese a glare full of resentment and cold fury. “Well, Reese, you really don’t give an inch, do you? I never noticed that before. Just wait. I’ll be here when you come crawling back.”

He straightened his suit jacket, gave Matthew one last venomous look, and walked out, each step heavy with anger.

Finally, the office was quiet.

Matthew, who had heard everything, walked over to the water dispenser, filled a cup with warm water, and handed it to Reese.

Reese’s heart sank. She shot upright in bed, voice tight. “What? Which warehouse?”

“The big one, out by the city limits! We’ve got all the raw materials for the Eastbase Group and Southern Machinery orders in there. If we can’t deliver on time, we’ll owe millions in penalties!”

Reese hung up, not even thinking about getting ready. She threw on a coat, grabbed her keys, and ran for her car.

When she got to the warehouse, she had to push through a worried crowd before she saw the official seal on the iron gates and the police tape blocking everything off. She closed her eyes, anger burning in her chest but nowhere to go. After a long moment, she forced herself to calm down and walked over to the warehouse manager and the nervous employees.

This wasn’t just about a few big orders. That warehouse held everything Ramos Corporation needed to keep going for the next half year. If it stayed shut, they wouldn’t just lose money on late orders; their reputation would be trashed, and other clients would start backing out, too.
