FreeNovel"She can't do it, and you think you can?" A cold voice came from behind the crowd, and everyone turned to see a man walking toward them. He was the guy from the art show with his assistant.
This man was good-looking and tall, giving off a classy vibe. You could tell he was a big-shot CEO with one look.
Someone in the group felt like they had seen him before but couldn't remember where.

The people around Madelyn made way for him.
Madelyn had no clue that Zach would show up. He stood next to her, his gaze sending shivers through everyone.
He said, "Aren't you usually all confident around me? Why the quiet act now?" Madelyn gripped her dress, looking down, and muttered, "I didn't ask for your help." Zach responded, "You heartless girl. We'll talk about this later." Jane kept her professional tone, saying, "Sir, this is our studio's private matter. If you want to get involved, please go back and handle it. Don't disrupt our work." Zach called out, "Kevin." "Yes." Kelvin responded and stepped forward. He said, "Encounter Gaming is the subsidiary of Jardin Corporation. Jardin Corporation will thoroughly investigate the plagiarism incident.
"As for the matter of dismissing Ms. Jent, Ms. Smith, may | ask under what authority you're making this decision?" Kevin's words silenced everyone.
Madelyn was taken aback as well. ‘Jardin Corporation owns Encounter Gaming?" She had always thought that Kennedy founded Encounter Gaming. Few people knew about the relationship between Leonardo and Kennedy, and Leonardo rarely took on external projects.
Jane could not provide an answer for Kevin, but she stayed composed as she replied, "Sir, let me be clear. Prof. Monet entrusted this studio to me, so | must bear the responsibility.

If we all accommodate her, it would only hinder our progress and hold us back." "| agree with what Jane said," one of the girls nervously raised her hand.
"Yes! | agree too." "We're on Jane's side!" "Jane is spot on. She's doing what's best for us. Even if you're the boss of the company that owns Encounter Gaming, you can't just use your power to push us around.

"Plus... it's true that she held us back..." The girl's voice trailed off as she spoke, and when she noticed Zach's gaze on her, she got so scared that she hid behind Jane.
With the support of several people, Jane straightened her back. She bore the pressure and stood in front of everyone.
Now, Madelyn suddenly had to bear the brunt of everyone's criticism.
Zach sat in Madelyn's seat. He crossed his legs and flipped through the discarded sketches he had picked up from the trash can, "Even if she takes advantage of my power and acts recklessly, I'll cover for her.
"If she likes Encounter Gaming, it can be her playground too. She has this privilege. What about all of you?" MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
