I Was The New Boss, She Told Me To Take The Freight Elevator Chapter 10
Kori didn’t say anything else. She stood up, took the
list back, and quietly left the office.
Over the next few days, I carried out a major restructuring of the company.
Employees involved in personal deals and exchanges
were investigated one by one and dealt with accordingly.
The middle–level managers who had built a small circle around Lia were either kept if they were still
valuable or removed if they needed to go.
At the same time, I contacted headhunters and began bringing in new talent for several key positions.
I reviewed the group’s operational data from the beginning.
Some problems had existed for a long time, but they
had not reached the point of being impossible to fix.
After all, I had handled situations far more difficult than this.
But about a week later, I received an unexpected phone call.
It was from the security guard at one of my properties.
He said a neighbor had called the police because people were fighting inside my house. Someone had been injured.
He asked if I needed to come over and see what was happening.
That was when I found out that Briar had secretly given Lia the keys to my house and let her move in.
Later, Kori looked into the matter and came to tell me what had happened.
After Briar was fired, he wanted to win me back. He
forced Lia to get a miscarriage procedure.
But when he rushed to Lia’s place that day, he discovered another man inside.
That man was someone Lia had secretly been seeing for a long time.
Only then did Briar realize that the child’s father was impossible to determine.
The three of them started fighting immediately.
The man was furious. He shouted that he had been deceived.
During the chaos, he grabbed the fruit knife and stabbed Briar.
Lia was badly injured during the struggle and miscarried on the spot.
The commotion was loud enough for neighbors to call
the police, who took everyone in.
After finishing the story, Kori carefully watched my expression.
I sat there quietly for a while after hearing everything.
To be honest, I wasn’t angry. I wasn’t satisfied either. I couldn’t even say I felt sorry for them.
I was just tired. And a little lost.
Like something I’d been carrying for so long, finally ending in the most absurd way—and all that was left
was a vague emptiness.
“I understand.” I returned my attention to the documents on my desk. “Thank you for telling me this.”
Kori nodded gently. “Ms. Swain, please take care of yourself.”
When she left, she quietly closed the door behind her.
I thought for a while. Then I picked up my phone and sent my divorce lawyer a message, asking him to speed
up the process.
After that, I put my phone down and opened my afternoon schedule.
I still had a lot to do. And a long road ahead.
This chapter–I’d close it and move on.
