Chapter 569
This kind of disgraceful practice was nothing new in the corporate world.
Celebrities were just numbers to be crunched, and artists, with no rights to speak
of, were merely pawns in the
game.
“There’s no need for that. If there’s nothing else, go ahead and do as I say,”
Brielle said with a nonchalant tone. She pondered for a moment before slightly
lifting her gaze. “If the company’s coffers are dry, then let's withhold all the
executives’ Christmas bonuses this year. We'll save tens of millions that way. We
can invest it in a new TV series, get a high-profile actor to lead, and cast our up—
and-coming talents in supporting roles. Problem solved, right?”
“Brielle, you've gone too far! First, you cut down our staff, and now you want to
take our Christmas bonuses too?!”
An executive's Christmas bonus could be in the millions, and many had been
eagerly awaiting
that moment.
Brielle scoffed, her sharp edge rivaling that of Max. “If you had actually
contributed to the company over the years, I might have reconsidered. The funds
from Dorsey International have dwindled to nearly nothing for talent investment,
and as for where the rest went, you're more aware of that than I am. If you don’t
like it, there's the door. In fact, I'm not too pleased with the current leadership as
is.”
“You!!” Keagan was livid, well aware that Brielle was playing her veto card, and
couldn’t care less about anyone's opinion.
Damn her! Where did she get this audacity?
He feared that if he said one more word, a resignation letter would really smack
him right in the face. His complexion shifted from red to white, but eventually, he
reined in his anger. “Ms. Haywood, don’t burn all your bridges. After all, we might
cross paths in the future. Couldn't we still be friends?”
Brielle’s eyes, coldly clear, met his. “I never planned on being friends with any of
you.”
Keagan was left speechless, trembling to the point he feared he might drop dead
from rage right there. He turned on his heel and stormed out of the office,
slamming the door behind him with a resounding thud.
Once he was out, the remaining executives quickly clustered around.
“What happened? Did she really say she’s firing all those people?”
“This is insane! Who does that? If everyone leaves, she'll be the last one
standing in the company!”
Keagan snorted, stirring up their resentment towards Brielle. “Ms. Haywood said
it's not enough to just fire people. All our Christmas bonuses are canceled, to be
funneled into the TV series. If you're not on board, you might as well leave now.”

“What? Our Christmas bonuses?!” That was everyone's sweet slice of the ple
she was messing with.
“How dare that... that woman! Together, our bonuses must total over ten million.
What gives her the right?”
Keagan waved his hand resignedly. “Someone must be backing her. Just do as
she says, or we'll be the ones to suffer.”

After Keagan departed, the others were left seething.
“That little hussy probably seduced Keagan, too.”
“Remember how Keagan treasured his office? How did she just take over and
make him move out without a fuss?”

“Let's go straight to Dorsey International and complain! I've got connections
there. We could get an audience with Mr. Dorsey himself.”
They quickly agreed that this was a solid plan. Brielle thought she could wield her
temporary power, but they'd expose her actions to the higher—ups and reveal her
true colors.

If her backer turned on her, Brielle might even lose her job. And once she was
out, they would make her pay for all the indignities they had suffered.
Oh, they'd make sure she'd regret crossing them.
