Taking the hint, Donna turned around to look at Ariana and said arrogantly, “You are guilty of negligence of duty, interference in others' work, and causing the company to lose a fortune. ALL of these are frowned upon at SJ Entertainment. You are fired!"

This statement dazed Ariana for several seconds. Soon, she recovered from the shock.

"Why would you fire me? I did nothing wrong. You have no right to fire me."

“Shut up!" Donna shouted angrily.

“You were only employed here a few days ago, but you have caused such a big loss. Who knows how much more the company would lose if you continue to work here? You are Lucky that we aren't asking you to pay for damages. Get out of here right now!”

Everyone in the studio gathered to watch the scene at this time. Ariana had no one on her side now. She stood there with her fists clenched. No one would believe her even if she tried to explain.

Judging by the looks they all gave her, it was obvious they wanted her to be kicked out.

“What are you waiting for? Pack your stuff and get the fuck out of here!" Donna yelled at Ariana. Her voice was so loud that the other workers were startled. They quickly lowered their heads and resumed cleaning up.

The tension in the studio was as thick as fog. Just as everyone went about their business, a husky male voice came from the door.

“What the hell is going on here?"

Ariana turned around, recognizing that the voice belonged to Horace-her husband's assistant, the same one she had met at home several times. She looked behind him, in hopes that she would see Theodore. She felt a bit disappointed when she didn't see him there.

What was she thinking? How could Theodore show up here when he was still paralyzed and wasn't healthy enough to work?

All the workers in the studio froze when they saw Horace.

Donna, who had been so arrogant a second ago, immediately bowed and greeted him.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Silence."

The other workers did the same.

Brielle curled her lips with contempt. Horace was just Theodore's assistant. She didn't see the need to respect him.

She was just about to make a witty remark when Jasper tugged at her sleeve and warned her with his eyes.

“What? Are you afraid of him too? But he's not Theodore. He's nothing but an employee," Brielle murmured under her breath and then pouted like a spoiled brat.

Unbeknownst to her, Horace heard all that she said. He just smirked without looking at her. He then went straight to Ariana and inquired about what happened.
