She remained calm andposed as she said, "Jack, we are best friends. But for business, that’s a different story."

"I understand, Be—" Jack said faintly.

"What I want is simple. I have two choices for you..." Be paused to take a deep breath. She appears to feel bad for stating her punishment, but inwardly, she struggles to hold on to herughter.

Be never imagined that acting like this would be so exhausting.

She now admires actors and actresses for their ability to portray various emotions and roles perfectly in movies and dramas.

While her? She acted for only a few minutes, and her energy was almost drained.

"Please tell me what your decision is..." Jack said calmly.

However, Be noticed that Jack held back hisughter and urged her to speak quickly; otherwise, they would be caught.

Be shifted her gaze to Andreas. She saw him still lowering his head, lost in thought about his fate.

She looked at Jack again before saying, "First, fire him from his position and have him pay every penny for everything he took from thepany. If you do that, he doesn’t have to go to jail..."

Andreas was shocked to hear that. He slowly raised his head, looking at Be in horror. He never imagined this beauty would have such a cruel way to punish him.

Now, Andreas can only pray that the woman will give him a lighter choice in option number two. He would ept it as long as he didn’t have to go to jail, return the money in full, or have his brother-inw fired from the CEO position.

"Second, he didn’t have to pay anything but went to jail. And you, as the person who brought him into thepany, should resign, and you will never be involved in RDF Group again."

Andreas nearly vomited blood upon hearing her second option. Why did both of her choices carry the same weight in his punishment?

’Damn, this woman!!’ Andreas can’t help but scold her in his mind. He wanted to voice his opinion, but he couldn’t say anything. He could only swallow hard and wait for his brother-inw’s decision.

Be fixed her gaze on Jack.

"Alright, that’s my final offer to you, Jack. You decide," she said casually, yet her voice was as cold as ice.

"I choose number one," Jack said without hesitation.

Andreas Corby feels like lightning just struck his head hearing his final verdict.

****

Sinir Tower.

Tristan was engrossed in the document he was signing when Dn startled him with a sudden knock on the door.

"Speak!" Tristan quickly nces at him before he returns his attention to the document.

"Boss, I have to tell you something very important..." Dn came in and sat in the chair before Tristan’s desk. He felt excited about what he had just found out.

"What’s that?" Tristan asked as he ced his pen on the table and looked at Dn curiously.

"Today, there was supposed to be an advertising shoot for S Jewelry. Boss, I believe you already know that your mother, Ms. Sinir, has selected Laura Kiels as their new brand ambassador..." Dn paused, observing Tristan’s reaction.

When he noticed Tristan’s expression darken, he silently swallowed.

’Did Ie at the wrong time?’ Dn wondered as he prepared to light another me.

"Dn, since when did I manage that small subsidiary?" Tristan took a deep breath and leaned back in his CEO chair. His eyes were still fixed on Dn.

He continued, "My parents manage thepany. I didn’t care what they were doing as long as they didn’t tarnish the Sinir Group name. And I’m not interested in knowing about that woman. So, please stop talking about her in front of me!"

Even though his rtionship with Be wasn’t what he wanted—Be still rejected him whenever he asked her to return to him—he was grateful for their closeness. He could be her driver. He can spend his time with her and their son every weekend.

However, if Be heard about that woman again, he feared Be would be jealous.

"Boss, I understand, but please hear me first..."

"Make it short. I have to go to Be’s office soon. I don’t have much time to hear your gossip!"

"That woman didn’t show up at the filming location. I heard from one of my trustworthy sources... SJ’s marketing director was fuming because of that woman’s attitude. He wanted to sue her and herpany, Ster Entertainment. But, your mother, stop him..."

As soon as he heard about Ster Entertainment, Tristan was immediately interested in hearing theplete report on this case.

"Mhm….okay, go on..." Tristan said.

"And what surprised me was that I just learned from our spies..." Dn smiled, thinking about Max, who told him about what happened at Quantum Capital. "Ms. Be just made a move. You know what I mean, right, boss?"

Tristan didn’t answer; he just nodded. He knew that Be was nning to fire Laura Kiels. Since then, he has asked Max to monitor what is happening at Quantum Capital to make sure no one could harm her if she made a move like this.

"Boss, The COO of Quantum Capital and the CEO of Ster Entertainment, Mr. Andreas Corby, resigned this noon..." Dn continued. When he saw his boss smile happily, he chuckled inwardly.

Tristan took some time before reacting to Dn’s news, carefully considering what he had just heard.

Before long, he gazes at Dn again.

"Are you sure Andreas Corby resigned because of Be?"

Tristan still had doubts. Because what he heard was that Be was only going to fire Laura. She didn’t mention that she would also fire Andreas Corby.

Dn immediately shook his head.

"Boss, I cannot confirm it, but based on my observations of the current situation, there seems to be a connection between them," Dn paused while he took his cellphone.

"I think you should check this out, boss..." He offers his cell phone to Tristan.

Tristan’s expression changed abruptly when he caught sight of Dn’s cellphone screen.
