"You can insult me, but you are in no place to insult my mother."

Faye let go of Ava's wrist. Ava immediately stumbled, spinning before collapsing onto the ground.

Due to her huge body, there was a loud sound when she landed on the ground. Faye felt as though the earth was shaking.

Lukas, who was about to help Faye, was stunned by the sight before him. The hand he had extended halted in the air, and he slowly withdrew it.

He once heard from Sophia that Faye was really capable. Not only could she dance, but she was also a great fighter who defeated the gang of thugs at school.

At the time, Lukas didn't believe her, but after witnessing how powerful Faye was, he realized it was true.

Regardless, Faye looked more attractive than ever. At that moment, Lukas felt she was his muse and idol.

Apart from his brothers, he had never admired someone to this extent.

He stared at Faye, his eyes shining as he desperately wished to address her as his idol.

Emma was utterly stunned and

    The door closed, shutting Clint outside. At first, he managed to compose himself and begged for Faye's mercy to spare Brown Corporation. As Faye continued to ignore Clint, he started to say provoking words in an attempt to get a rise out of her. Still, both Flora and Faye ignored him. Furious, he started barking insults. Listening to the horrible insults he shouted, Flora's expression darkened. She tried to get outside more than once, wanting to beat him to death. However, Faye stopped her. "Ignore that scum, Mom.

    Faye returned to her office to find it adorned with simple yet elegant decorations that weren't there when she left. The whole space was neatly arranged. Faye greatly appreciated Jamie's efforts. She had indeed chosen the right person to be her assistant, and Jamie deserved a bonus."Good morning, Ms. Fischer," Jamie said from the door. Faye raised her gaze and saw Jamie in a simple office skirt, offering her a cup of coffee. "Here's your coffee."Faye nodded. "Thank you."Jamie was pleasantly surprised by her words and quickly waved her hands. "This is my job."Though Faye was easy to work with, it had been a while since they'd met, so Jamie felt nervous. Faye sat down and examined the files that Jamie had diligently organized in her absence.The urgent matters were handled according to Faye's instructions, and less urgent matters were sorted and placed on her desk. In less than a month, there were two tall piles of documents on her desk.Initially, Faye felt annoyed by

    After listening to Jamie's explanation, Faye instantly understood what happened. She nodded and said, "Well, that's good. The inspiration matches your design. You can write down your design inspiration next to it."Jamie quickly nodded, relieved that Faye relaxed. "Okay, Ms. Fischer."Faye raised an eyebrow and shot her a look. "In the future, whatever you do, be more careful and protect your designs."This statement caused Jamie to feel anxious once again. "Did something happen? Did my design clash with someone else's?" Jamie thought and looked at Faye nervously.She desperately wanted to explain herself but did not know where to start. Jamie's head was a mess as she began overthinking.

    Silence loomed over the cafeteria. Everyone held their breath and waited for Faye's next words. She smiled and said, "Leaders become leaders because they have the ability to lead. If you don't want to be led, you will have to find a way to become a leader. Don't dwell over how they became leaders; Try thinking why they manage to do so when you can't."Everyone jolted at her words. Though Faye's message was subtle, everyone understood what she was saying. Even if people found themselves in high positions using unspeakable means or through personal connections, that would be considered a part of their capability as well—so others had no rights to comment on their success. Her words were piercing and injured the others' pride. A lot of people were displeased by her words. After all, not everyone could accept the fact they were mediocre. Meanwhile, a small number of employees were impressed by Faye's speech and looked at her with approval. The truth was often harsh and har

She even allowed Lizzie to go into their home to poison Faye while Flora was at work. Faye suffered through so much hardship at the time and came close to dying. She was already poisoned when she was pregnant with Faye, which meant Faye was born with poison in her body. Though Flora tried her best to counter the poison, Faye was still more frail than ordinary children. Eleanor knew that Faye wasn't Clint's child, so she had always been displeased with her.

    Lizzie and Clint were momentarily stunned, confused by Tracy's words. "I just received a call from Uncle. He said that Grandma passed away and we need to go home."Clint jolted and collapsed onto the ground. "What?"Tracy smirked. "They can't reach you or Mom, so he called me instead. We need to go home right now.""Ha! So what if she's dead? She doesn't see us as family, so why should we go back?" Lizzie scoffed in contempt. Eleanor disliked her right from the start. If Eleanor didn't stop her from marrying Clint at the very beginning, Flora would have never gotten married to Clint.

However, she looked down on Lizzie for not being as talented as Flora and incapable of bringing more profit to the Brown family. She kept comparing Lizzie to Flora and bossed her around.
