Chapter 35 - Cutting ties (1/2)

Finally, his eyes rested on Bella Lim who was now looking at him in disbelief.

Bella Lim scoffed after realizing how naived she was. She should have known...

”Did you know what had really happened? If I didn't fire her, do you think people will still come to this cafe?” Bella Lim retaliated. Now, she understood their reason for coming here today: to make fun of her.

Jordan squizzed his eyes. This woman should understand her situation by now. Why was she being so difficult?

”Whether people come or not, you went against the order of your superior!” the old man interjected. His eyes were conceited as if reminding her about her low status.

”Old man, are you Jordan's father?” Bella Lim asked without showing any reverence. This man didn't deserve to be respected, because all he did was taunting and looking down on her.

”That's good if you know. You should be grateful that my son didn't give you punishment harsher than a demotion. If it was me, I've long chased you out,” the old man snorted.

”Is it? By the way, why are you here? Don't tell me, these people brought you along as decoration of power? Isn't it Carla?” Bella Lim chuckled as she glanced at Carla who was looking at her in anger.

Bella Lim never met Jordan Lee's father but she knew what kind of person he was. A conceited man that easy to fall under the manipulation of others.

In fact, Jordan Lee had cheated a huge sum of money for the cafe's development from this man without the man realizing it.

”So what? I am indeed a powerful man,” the old man sneered as he noticed the hidden meaning in her sentence. He swept a look on Carla's face who was now nervously looking at him.

Bella Lim was amused, she waited if the man would scold his niece. However, the old man simply looked away and then sat in one of the chairs with a thud sound. He clearly was angry but was mȧturėd enough not to ruin his family's reputation. Carla was his family.

This was unexpected. Bella Lim applauded the man for his strong self-restraint. When the man praised himself as a powerful man, she almost laughed because who was he? This family was indeed rich but among the aristocrats, they were truly nothing. In fact, they were seen as commoners too.

Jordan Lee noticed that Bella Lim had managed to sow misunderstanding between his father and his cousin with mere words. He gritted his teeth in annoyance. He knew why Carla had brought his father here. At first, he was against the idea but Carla persuaded him to bring his father along.

Yet, looked at the outcome? This was all because of Bella Lim. Their words were not enough to break her ego.

Wait, how did this woman become so formidable? Similar to last night, this woman suddenly became intelligence with her words that he had to sacrifice 1000AD just to make her attend a dinner party. Who in the whole Azure had taught her to be this crafty?

”Bella, I only demoted you. If it wasn't because of your excellent contribution last night, I've long fired you,” Jordan Lee broke the silence of awkwardness.

Surprised, Bella Lim looked at Jordan Lee with a frown on her face which gradually eased to her normal countenance.

”So you knew? Hahaha... tsk, how disgraceful,” Bella Lim snorted. She looked at him again, to see if there was a trace of guilt in his eyes. Nope, all she saw was greediness and disgust.

Although Bella Lim didn't like Jordan Lee as a boss, she never disobeyed his order. Instead, she executed every instruction perfectly. The cafe's prosperity was mostly because of her contribution. Alas, it seemed that all her efforts meant nothing to his eyes.
