Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Julia's face drained of color as she nervously fiddled her fingers.

She bowed her head and was too scared to speak.

She said what she said only after seeing Jaylene's expression and receiving her silent signal.

'If Jaylene was against the idea, why didn't she stop me during the event?’ she thought.

Stella's gifts outshone Jaylene's, and her speech was also better.

Jaylene felt publicly humiliated.

Frustrated, she needed an outlet for her anger, and Julia became the scapegoat.

Once Jaylene's temper subsided, Julia tentatively said, "Ms. Saun, perhaps this incident isn't entirely negative.

It helps us see who we can rely on in the future." Jaylene calmed down upon hearing that.

She noticed Stella had not finished distributing her gifts and that most of the staff seemed hesitant to take sides.

Caline was not The Velvet, and winning people over would not be easy for Stella, let alone with such simple tactics.

Although Jaylene understood this, being publicly embarrassed without retaliation was something she could not stomach.
