Chapter 507
The meaning behind all this was already crystal clear. They were basically stripping Yvette of all her
authority.
What use was the title of deputy CEO if it came with no real power?!
Yvette knew this, too. Even if Rachel didn’t demote her or kick her out of the company, it wouldn’t make a difference. She was now completely sidelined. She had no say in project matters, and even less in
financial ones.
With no other options, Yvette turned to Gary for help. She walked over and clutched his hand, pleading.
“Mr. Summers, have you forgotten what my dad asked of you? He told you to take good care of me. You can’t just stand by and let them treat me like this!”
Gary shook his head. “Ms. Yvette, your father did ask me to look after you, but that only applies if you’re actually trying to do something good for the company, not if you’re…”
He sighed heavily, clearly disappointed, and gave a dismissive wave.
“This ends here. When you start contributing to the company the way your sister does, we can talk about
restoring your authority.”
With that, Gary turned and walked away.
The rest of the people watching had seen enough. It wasn’t worth staying around any longer.
After delegating tasks, Rachel sent everyone off to focus on their work.
Cecilia quickly caught up to Rachel, grinning from ear to ear. “Rachel–uh, I mean Ms. Rachel, where’s
your office?”
Rachel had nearly forgotten. She didn’t even have an office yet.
Right then, the two of them happened to pass by Yvette’s office. Rachel suddenly stopped.
She turned to Cecilia and said calmly, “Go tell the assistant that since Ms. Yvette isn’t using her office
anymore, it should go to someone who actually needs it. Have her move into the office next door.”
Rachel didn’t speak loudly, but her words were just loud enough for everyone nearby to hear.
Cecilia pursed her lips and barely held back her laughter.
“Alright, Ms. Rachel.”
Soon, people were already making arrangements to move the office. Yvette had just come out of the restroom when she saw a group of people clearing out her things.

Her expression changed immediately. “What are you doing? Who told you to touch my stuff? Get out! This is my office!”
But everyone knew how office politics worked. Back when Yvette held power, she loved pulling strings and using backdoor connections. Those who had real talent were often targeted and suppressed.
Now that the tide had turned, no one was going to cut her any slack.
Someone mocked her harshly.
“Ms. Yvette, you’re not in charge anymore. I suggest you save yourself the embarrassment–unless you
want to become the office joke.”
“Yes, this office was personally requested by Ms. Rachel. We’re just employees. Unlike you, the deputy
CEO, we can’t treat the place like our own house.”
“If you have a problem with it, you’d better take it up with Ms. Rachel directly.”
