CHAPTER 45: CHAPTER 45: KNEELING

At this moment, she deeply regretted losing this prestigious and high-paying job because of her arrogance and trivial thoughts.

But where in the world can you find a medicine for regrets?

She brought this all upon herself.

The eleventh floor.

Summer Monroe and Henry Stanton had been waiting in the conference room for almost half an hour for the people from Knight Group to arrive.

In the meantime, a staff member came in to refill their water, but when asked why no one had arrived yet, the staff member couldn’t provide a clear answer.

As time passed, Henry Stanton grew increasingly anxious.

Could it be that the people from Knight Group found out Summer was from the countryside and had a sudden change of heart, thinking she wasn’t fit to be their image spokesperson?

Henry Stanton suddenly stood up, recalling that they had already signed the letter, and all that was left was for the Knight Group to stamp it today. How could they lose this collaboration at this point?

Henry Stanton’s gaze towards Summer instantly lost its previous shine, and he saw her as unpromising.

"What’s your educational background? Did you graduate high school?" Henry Stanton asked coldly.

Summer was about to make something up when suddenly the conference room door was pushed open.

Both of them looked toward the door and saw Damian Knight, leading over ten high-level executives from Knight Group, walk in.

Many of them were famous business tycoons, and Henry Stanton’s eyes widened in awe.

But at the same time, he became even more anxious inside.

"Y-Young Master Knight..." Henry Stanton stammered, "Is it because you think my daughter is undereducated that you don’t want her? I can find someone to help her with further studies. Although this child isn’t very bright and is rather timid, I believe if we package her well, our collaboration is worth discussing. As for the remuneration, we can talk about it..."

"Not very bright, and timid?"

Damian Knight’s eyes showed a hint of amusement, and he couldn’t help but let out a light chuckle.

Is he talking about Summer?

It seems Mr. Stanton, as a father, really doesn’t understand his daughter at all.

However, the information showed that Summer had only recently returned to the Stanton Family, and if she deliberately hid her true nature, it would indeed be hard to grasp her true character, as even he wasn’t sure what kind of person Summer truly was.

Henry Stanton did not dare to look directly at Damian Knight, and hearing his chuckle, he thought he had guessed Damian’s thoughts.

Henry hurriedly added, "My daughter is very honest and will certainly collaborate with you diligently. Please give her another chance!"

He finished speaking, turned to Summer, and commanded, "Summer, come here quickly and kneel before Young Master Knight!"

"Kneel?" Summer thought she understood Henry Stanton well, but his words today once again shattered her perception.

She stood still, and Henry was furious, directly shouting, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and come over here!"

This left Summer with no dignity at all.

Summer bit her lip, experiencing for the first time what humiliation truly meant.

She had never knelt before anyone, but... if it was to find out the truth and avenge her mother, she was willing to do anything.

Summer clenched her fists tightly and moved forward.

But she had just taken a step when Damian Knight’s voice suddenly rang out, "Mr. Stanton may be mistaken. We are not dissatisfied with Miss Monroe. On the contrary, I find Miss Monroe very suitable to be our image spokesperson. I just need to verify some details with Miss Monroe."

Summer stared in shock at Damian Knight, only to see his face frosty, as if suppressing anger.

Was he angry? But why?
