“Oh, right. Since Lloyd Enterprise isn’t in your hands anymore, shouldn’t you at least go through the accounts? Take a good look at what kind of contributions Yvette has made during her time as deputy CEO. How many major projects has she actually brought in for the company?”
Standing to the side, Rachel’s heart pounded uncontrollably. All her life in the Lloyd family, she had relied only on herself. No one had ever stood up for her.
