“Exactly” Another chimed in. “We can’t just hand thepany over to some stranger” “Hart Corporation isn’t some joke. Mr. Hart, think carefully,”

“Even if she’s your daughter, that doesn’t automatically give her a seat at the table. What’s her track record!” another challenged.

“The fact that I’m thergest shareholder of Hart Corporation. A cool, sharp voice cut through the chaos. Before anyone saw her, the words balone /bsent an icy ripple down every spine in the room.

The door swung open. A statuesque bwoman /bstrode in, her goldb–/btrimmed ck dress catching the light with every measured step. She moved with the regal grace of a monarchmanding attention.

Though Aiden bstood /ba solid six feet tall, her heels brought them nearly nose to nose. The entire room seemed to hold its breath under the weight of her presence.

“Miss Sienna, it really is your someone blurted out, eyes lighting up with surprise and joy

Sienna gave ba /bslight nod. Just then, Reno burst in “Gentlemen, Hart Corporation belongs to Miss Enna. If you don’t believe it, check the files. Mr. Har was only managing it on her behalf.”

Aiden’s face clouded over at that. One of the objectors scoffed, “Who cares if thepany’s yours? Mr. Hart has been running Hart Corporation ball /bthese yearsb, /bband /bnow you just waltz in and kick him out? What kind of daughter does that?”

Exactly! Forget whether you’re capable of running thispany. What right has a young woman like you got to sit in that chair? another one chimed in.

Aiden was touched by their loyalty. But Sienna didn’t bat an eyelid. She already knew these were bLinda’s /bbpeople/b, cramped into thepany over the years but doing nothing useful. She had been trying to figure out how he get rid of them, and now they handed her the perfect chance.

“Fine” Her voice was ice. The objectors smirked, figuring a few threats would intimidate Sienna. But their smugness didn’tst ba /bsecond.

“Mr. Hart, we’ve been with you for years. Now she’s actually firing us. bHow /bcan you just stand there? Say something!” they begged Aiden desperately.

Aiden took a deep breath, ready to plead for them. But Sienna cut him off with a cold look. “Father, you got something to say?”

He hesitated, then started, “Sienna, they’ve worked at thepany for a long time. bMaybe /byou can take that into ount”

“Father, did you not hear them?” She tilted her head. “They said they quit. Loud and clear. Everyone here heard it.” Alden had to shut his mouth.

Reno, meantime, was counting how many of them bjust /bquit. “Miss Enna, twelve people in total”

“You’re going too far. Firing us the second you walk in? You’re not here to run thepany. You’re here to ruin it.”

“Go ahead, Ere bus/b. Let’s see bhow /bthis ce keeps running without us. You’ll be begging us toe back.” They were all shouting now, hurling threats like punches

The old–timers reaffirmed their loyalty to Sienna, saying they truly trusted the would lead Hart Corporation back to sess. Seeing how deeply they believed in her, Sienna felt a swell of warm emotions. She silently vowed not to let them down.

Satisfied with her handiwork, she finally approached Sienna with a stack of documents. “Miss Enna, the resignation paperwork is prepared for your approval,” she announced and then hesitated.
