Chapter 6 Thirty minutes later , the company's front doors swung open . My dad , Chairman Sterling Thorn , walked in with a whole entourage of executives and the legal team . His presence was so commanding that every employee in the place went silent and automatically cleared a path . The entire office floor was dead quiet except for the sound of his confident footsteps . He walked straight to me , his eyes showing a severity and protectiveness I'd never seen before . He reached up and smoothed down my slightly messy hair . " Did they hurt you ? " I shook my head , feeling my throat tighten up , but I held it together . " No , Dad . I just think your company deserves better than this . " Dad nodded and squeezed my shoulder . " You're absolutely right . " Wren , who was collapsed on the floor , saw my dad and must have thought he was her lifeline . She crawled over on her hands and knees , trying to grab onto his legs . " Chairman Thorn , I'm so sorry ! I messed up so bad ! I had no idea she was your daughter ! " She was crying and snotting all over herself , looking absolutely pathetic . Dad's expression was cold as ice . He stepped back to avoid her reaching hands , his face showing pure disgust . He spoke to the head of security who'd followed him in : " Get this random woman out of my building . " " Also , I want a full investigation into how she got access to this office , who approved her presence here , and who gave her permission to terrorize my employees . " " Everyone involved gets fired ! I don't care what their title is . They're blacklisted from this company for life ! " His words were completely emotionless . When Wren heard this , her crying stopped abruptly , replaced by pure despair . Two security guards stepped forward , grabbed her arms , and started dragging her toward the exit . " Jaxon ! Jaxon , save me ! I don't wanna go ! I'm sorry ! " She kept screaming his name as they hauled her out , but nobody gave a shit . 10:26 Who Needs a Divorce Lawyer When You OWN the Company ? Honey , You Are FIRED ! 3.5 % Chapter 6 The woman who'd been playing queen bee around here was just publicly thrown out like garbage . Dad moved to the center of the office floor . He looked around at all the silent employees and announced in a clear , strong voice : " Effective immediately , Brielle Thorn will assume the position of Regional Manager , with full authority over all operations at this location . " " Jaxon is suspended pending a final decision from the board of directors . " When he finished speaking , it finally clicked for all the employees . I was the real " princess " all along . They started looking at the " boss lady " who'd just been dragged out with this mix of sympathy , contempt , and schadenfreude . I picked up the desk phone and calmly dialed the facilities department . Everyone's eyes were on me . I hit speakerphone. " Send cleaning crews to disinfect the executive office - especially the furniture . It feels contaminated to me . " " Also , box up and remove any personal items that don't belong to the company . I don't want to see a single thing that reminds me of Jaxon . "
